Changing the way you eat may be the key you're missing to losing that stubborn fat, feeling stronger, increasing your energy levels and improving your overall health.

To lose that stubborn fat try eating the cleanest most natural way of eating possible. This will mean avoiding Alcohol, Wheat, Gluten, Caffeine, Sugar and Dairy (except for bio live yoghurt). Try this for 4-6 weeks. Sounds tough? Well it will be, but only at the beginning.

The reason eating in such a clean way is so difficult at the beginning is that your body will be ridding itself of toxins. Take alcohol for an example, small quantities may not appear to do any harm, however consumed in excess we all know the damage it can do. You're body is amazing at adapting that's why if you drink alcohol regularly you'll find that it takes more to keep feeling the effects. This doesn't mean that the effects aren't there, you're body has just adapted so that you don't feel it to the same degree.

If this way of eating sounds difficult, try thinking of what you can have rather than what you can't have: All unprocessed meats, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. This is NOT a no carb way of eating. You can have potatoes, brown organic rice, beans, quinoa, and vegetables, just to name a few.

The key to losing the stubborn fat and improving your health is following this program 100%. We often hear the 80-20% Rule. The truth is, if that rule worked then many of us wouldn't still be searching for something that works. Once we allow ourselves a way out, even for 20% of the time, often that 20% starts to creep up, before we know it we're back to all the bad habits.

The first week will be tough, you will suffer all the withdrawal symptoms of giving up caffeine, sugar and alcohol. You may find that you get headaches, feel like you have a cold, and perhaps even suffer from mood swings. These effects are your body riding itself of the toxins. Keep it up and you will soon start to feel great. You're energy will start to increase and you may have even shed a few pounds.

Here's a shopping list to get you started. Meat; free range or organic, turkey, pork, lean beef, chicken, salmon, mackerel Veggies; carrots, spinach, cucumber, tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, onions peppers Fruit; Apples, avocado, pears, blueberries, strawberries, lemons Dairy; Butter, yoghurt, eggs

You can't lose, or shall I say you can...the fat, that is!

(Remember it's advised that you contact your GP before starting a new program)
