Alpha Lipoic Acid – A Main Component In Stemulite Fitness Formula Wins The Battle Against Muffin Top

Dr. Glenville, author of the international bestseller “Fat Around the Middle”, has some timely tips on how we can getter a flatter stomach, now that celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Denise Richards have made the skintight and tummy-clinging bandage dress a necessity in every stylish woman’s wardrobe.

Dr Glenville says: “If you have a tendency to gather fat around your middle, apple rather than pear-shaped, you will know how difficult it is to lose it. Perhaps your waistband is too tight, you’ve got a gaping blouse and a ‘muffin top’ layer of fat pouring over the waistband of your jeans or worst of all — you’ve been asked when your next baby is due?

“What you may not know is how dangerous that fat around your middle really is. It can increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and even cancer,” she says.

So what’s the cause of fat around the middle? Millions of years ago, our bodies were designed to react quickly to danger. We were on constant alert so we could run or fight if threatened.

These days many of us live under chronic stress. Yet our bodies can’t distinguish between late trains, missed appointments, spiraling debt, infuriating work colleagues, family disputes and the truly life-threatening stress it gears up to challenge.

And if we don’t fight or flee like our bodies expect us to, then the fat and glucose swimming around our systems gets deposited as fat — around the middle of our bodies.

“Eat healthily, don’t diet,” is Dr Glenville’s advice. “There is a chance your pattern of eating is subconsciously telling your body that it is under stress. If you restrict your diet or cut calories your body inevitably thinks there is a famine out there and that causes stress. It will slow down your metabolism to hold on to your precious fat stores.

“Furthermore, if your blood sugar levels fluctuate [as they do for most women], your body will be releasing adrenaline which is the same hormone it releases when you are under stress. Once more it encourages your body to store fat.

So what can you do to get rid of the fat around your middle?

Follow this four-pronged approach for three months to see a significant change in your body shape and as a consequence, it will dramatically improve your long-term health.”

Eat healthy

“As well as eating good food, make sure that you keep your blood-sugar levels stable by eating little and often. This will stop roller coasters of highs and lows and eliminate cravings for a quick fix like chocolate.”

“Avoid any foods [such as] those with added sugar and white flour, that make your blood sugar rise quickly because as blood sugar drops again your body releases adrenaline and cortisol to stabilize it once more.”

“Add protein to each meal as protein slows down the rate the stomach processes food and slows the passage of the carbohydrates with it. This means that the food does not hit your blood stream quickly.”

Take supplements

“A number of chemical reactions are involved in turning glucose into energy instead of fat. Certain vitamins and minerals help this to happen. If you are deficient in these nutrients, the body will find it harder to let go of that weight around the middle.”

“The most important ones for getting rid of fat around the middle are chromium, magnesium, zinc, B vitamins which can be assimilated easily when taking 9 a day plus vitamins, Co-enzyme Q10, alpha lipoic acid – a main component in Stemulite Fitness Formula,  Siberian ginseng and certain amino acids.”

Address stress

“One of the most surprising ways to slim the fat around your middle, is to cut back on the stress in your life, because that will help reduce cortisol levels, and — when combined with diet, exercise and supplements — will train your body to stop storing fat around your middle.”

Take exercise

“When the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline are released into your blood stream, your body expects you to run or fight for your life [perform some sort of physical activity]. But the stress of being stuck on a stationary train and [becoming] increasingly late for an appointment cannot be offset by any form of physical activity.”

Dr Glenville adds: “Changing the way you eat, adding supplements and an exercise regime and trying to cut back on the stress in your life isn’t going to seem easy for the first few weeks. But persevere. In less than a month you will start to notice a few changes. The fat at the top of your belly often goes first, then lower down, then across your back. Before you know it, your clothes will start to feel loose.”
