As a fitness professional, I’d say that well over 90% of the questions I get is how
to get rid of stubborn lower belly fat. 


My answer is always, FOOD, and most ladies automatically think I
will suggest a
low carb diet. 


Unfortunately, almost all conventional low carb diets that claim to fight
belly fat use
foods that "turn off” our fat burning mechanisms, which
forces our body to burn
sugars and carbs, INSTEAD of fat.

Not only that, people who try these trendy diets don't have any knowledge of
whether they're losing water, muscle or actually burning fat.  
Here’s a powerful example. For EVERY gram of active carbohydrates 
you consume
on a daily basis, your body will hold nearly 3 grams of water. 


Read that last sentence once again quickly so it “sinks” in.

So if you just cut carbs, the scale might trick you into thinking that you’re 
losing a
bunch of weight -- and you are. BUT – it’s water weight, NOT fat. 


So you’re really just dropping a bunch of water. 
 
Now you can see how and why almost every person who tries to deplete 
carbs ends
up messing up their metabolism and forcing rebound weight gain. 


But what if we could make most of that water loss = fat loss instead? 
 
Well, we CAN. 
 
All we need to do is make sure we deplete carbs with the RIGHT foods, 
at the RIGHT
times, for the RIGHT durations.
And that’s where my colleague Shaun Hadsall’s new Macro-Patterning™
method
provides the perfect solution.
Shaun has done a tremendous job creating a carb cycling system that breaks
down the
“science” of burning lower abdomen and belly fat while still enjoying 
YUMMY carbs
- yay says the carb lover, aka ME!
But first, we have to “prime” our metabolic pump.
Here are 3 methods Shaun uses to deplete carbs and create a short term
MASSIVE
calorie deficit and achieve extreme fat loss WITHOUT damaging 
the metabolism or
suppressing the hormones that burn fat.

1. Consume Zero Starches or Fruits for 3 or 4 Days in a Row During The Week. 
This will help accelerate glycogen depletion and get your metabolism ready 
for the
weekend fun. This should equate to a total of 25 to 50 impact carbs for 
the day.
Consume protein in every meal to help increase satiety and keep your 
body in an
anabolic high-energy fat-burning environment.
You’ll program your body to burn a ton more belly fat by using this approach in 

just a few days of the week.

2. Increase Your Fats and Double Your Servings of Green Cruciferous Veggies
on the Deplete Days
When you lower carbs, you’ll automatically need energy from other sources. 
Friendly
fats and cruciferous veggies should be your go to macronutrients to
help provide this
needed energy.
Some good examples to use are extra fish or krill oil, olive oil, coconut oil, grass 
fed
butter and small amounts of raw nuts for fats -- spinach, kale, broccoli, 
cauliflower,
asparagus and cabbage are great choices for extra veggies.
This will help provide all the fiber, vitamins, and minerals necessary to maximize

fat-loss during the carb deplete. It will also help you with appetite control.
Additionally, the veggies I listed above contain a unique compound (called DIM) that 

helps control bad estrogen inside the body, which will indirectly lead to more fat loss.

3. Double Your Daily Water Intake on Deplete Days & The Day After a Food Binge.
I know this technique isn’t appealing or “sexy”, but it works.
And most people simply underestimate how effective proper hydration can be for

UNDOING the damage of over-eating, getting rid of post weekend carb bloat, and

facilitating other metabolic processes that burn fat.
Remember, if you cheated this past weekend you’ll be holding almost an extra 3 
grams
of water for every gram of carb you consumed.
So if you had a few slices of pizza, some bread and a bowl of ice cream we’re talking
an extra 700 to 1000 
grams of water sitting under your belly skin.
So here are a couple fast fluid facts to help you understand how water can help 
you look
and feel leaner.
  • First, the more water you “give” your body, the less it will hold onto. So if you feel
    like you’re holding water or bloated, drink MORE water.
  • It will help you look and feel leaner.
A good rule of thumb is to consume 60 - 70% of your total body weight in ounces 
of
water on your carb deplete days. So if you weigh 150 pounds then you should 
be
shooting for 100 to 120 ounces of water - minimum.
Now you can clearly see why a short-term, science based low carb approach can 

work big time. But make sure you do NOT abuse the “deplete” day strategies above
or they’ll backfire - just like exercise and cheating.
That’s why Shaun created his 14-Day Rapid Fat Loss Plan. To make sure you’re

depleting carbs for rapid fat-loss the RIGHT way.
And when you plan this out strategically using Macro-Patterning™, you’ll literally

feel your lower belly fat start shrinking in as little as 3 or 4 days.
And best of all, you’ll “prime” your body to accelerate your fat-loss even FURTHER

by purposely eating MORE carbs.
Want to SEE your lower belly get flatter in the next 14 days WITHOUT gaining it back

OR damaging your metabolism? Of course you do.
And here’s exactly how you can make it happen:

Have an awesome day,
