America is the only country in the world where a massive percentage of the population has a big belly. Why is that? We are about to explain what causes big bellies, what it does to our health, and what it takes to get rid of it.
Hormones Effect Belly Fat Storage
The first thing you need to understand is the difference between fat that accumulates in the belly and fat that distributes evenly across the body. The fat distributed across the body occurs when we eat more food than the body needs for fuel and maintenance, so the body stores the extra as high quality energy for later.
The fat that builds up in the belly is completely different. It is caused by a dangerous disturbance in our hormones and is anything but healthy. Because belly fat is caused by hormone problems, it can build up even when the rest of the body is completely trim. That’s not all, hormone problems cause belly fat, but then belly fat, in turn, causes more hormone problems, and here’s how. Belly fat stimulates an excessive production of aromatase which is an enzyme that converts your testosterone into a dangerous form of estrogen (this is regardless of whether you are a man or a woman). This form of estrogen causes fat to pile up in the gut.
Testosterone, on the other hand, is the hormone that drives our energy, motivation, clear thinking and the aggressive desire to live and enjoy life. When belly fat destroys it, we become sluggish, suffer from brain fog, have trouble sleeping and at the same time, have trouble staying awake (so irritating), we have frequent urination that wakes us up, we struggle to articulate sentences, and lose words just when we need them, we struggle with joint pain and weak muscles, have a hard time exercising, and often suffer from depression. As you can see, it’s very important to keep your testosterone in balance, and to prevent too much of it from being converted.
Because of the things we are doing to our food in this country, this problem is only getting worse, but there are solutions.
Regardless of what’s going on with the food, getting your testosterone in balance and getting rid of the excess estrogen will be an essential part of removing belly fat, but removing belly fat requires a much more aggressive approach than removing body fat. This is because it only takes a little diet control and or exercise to burn off body fat. It takes a completely different approach to remove belly fat.
First you must detox the aromatase and poorly balanced hormones from the system, and then you must keep detoxing while the belly fat is being burned off. This sounds difficult right? That’s because it is! Poorly balanced hormones instigate an excessive appetite which causes us to lose control and overeat and will continue causing us to overeat until the belly fat is gone. Fortunately there are things that can help.
Broccoli Has The Answer To Belly Fat
Scientists discovered a property in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage and brussel sprouts that specifically attacks and removes derogatory hormones from the system. This property is called Diindolylmethane and Diindolylmethane is a gift to us from the creator! Diindolylmethane doesn’t just detox aromatase and excess estrogen, it also protects our emotional state which is extremely important, and here’s why!
The hormones that were created while we were putting belly fat on cause emotional struggles such as hopelessness, feelings of being down and depression. When we start burning that fat off, it releases those hormones and we experience those emotional struggles all over again. This makes it very difficult to stay motivated, and is why people with big bellies are rarely successful in getting rid of them.
The hormone cleansing supplements we produce at Better Word Botanicals don’t just contain Diindolylmethane, they also have herbs that cleanse and nourish the hormone producing glands. This way the new hormones will be fresh and clean and won’t have the emotional time bombs from the past hidden in them. We also took into consideration that men and women’s hormone systems work differently, so we made a formula that is specialized for each.
Formula HXM for men and Formula HXF for women.
The HX Formulas will bind up and remove the old hormones and hopeless emotions, but that’s just the beginning. The fat that was stored in the abdomen will still need to be burned off. This will require a substantial reduction in how much we eat. Controlling how much food we consume is very difficult and our clients have often told us, “When my appetite shows up, that’s when the plan goes out the window”. To be successful we had to develop a formula that would suppress the appetite and make “not eating” a little easier.
Body Food & Appetite Suppressant was formulated to curb the appetite while at the same time providing the nutrients necessary for energy production and cellular structure. You can take Body Food every 15 minutes if you need and it will continue to work better and better.
These two products and the dietetic reductions listed below will be all that are necessary to successfully detox your body of the old hormones and to burn off the excess belly fat. Despite how well the program works, you may experience a few symptoms that you wish could be handled more aggressively, and those are sugar cravings and low energy.
If you have cravings for sugary foods, but have no desire for normal food, it’s not your body talking, it means you have parasites. Processed sugar damages your cells and your body never needs damaged cells, but parasites thrive on sugary stuff! If you crave sugary foods, take the Parasite Free.
The other symptom, “low energy” is either from thyroid insufficiency which causes slow metabolism, or from low hormones which is pretty common when there’s a big belly. Metabolism is how fast your body burns fuel (glucose, protein and fat) for energy. If you notice that the weight is coming off slowly and you aren’t feeling as energetic as you’d like, or you’re sensitive to cold, have dry skin, brittle nails or are losing your hair, you may need to boost your thyroid. The Formula Trim is made with herbs and nutrients that support the thyroid and rev up the metabolism so your energy goes up, and you burn fat faster. If you think your hormones may be low, Pure Male Energy and Pure Female Energy helps boost your body’s natural production of healthy hormones.
There’s one more thing that is very important, and that is to drink at least 2 or 3 quarts of water each day. Your body is going to be washing out a lot of waste and old toxins, and water is the only thing that can do that!
That’s it for the supplements.
Food Choices For The First 30 Days
The first thing to do each morning is weigh yourself. Successes come in small increments, but your body will show your truth everyday. Weighing ourselves reminds us to keep going. Also, don’t expect to lose weight everyday. Some days you won’t, even if you were completely perfect the day before.
Start your day with a small glass of water, 1 capsule of your HX Formula and 4 - 6 Body Food. If you drink coffee or tea in the morning, go ahead and do that next.
Now let’s talk about what to eat. This part is absolutely essential! Do not mix food types! Eat only one type of food at each meal. When you eat only one food type at a meal, it is easy for your body to know when it’s had enough. When you mix food types, it fools your system into eating too much and sabotages your success.
Fruit type meals can include apples, grapes, cherries, blueberries, bananas, mango’s, melons or any kind of citrus. You can have as much as you like as long as it’s fresh.
Vegetable type meals can include any kind of salad made with broccoli, cabbage, carrots, celery, cauliflower, cucumber, spinach, collard greens, brussel sprouts, radishes, and or kale. This is not the time for corn or any kind of grain products. You can use any kind of salad dressing you like as long as it doesn’t have sugar. You can eat as many raw vegetables as you like every day and your belly will continue to fall off.
Meat or protein type meals can include up to 16 oz of any kind of meat or as many as 5 eggs. You can use all the salt and spices you like, but don’t use any kind of sauces or rubs that contain sugar. You can eat high protein foods like cheese, sunflower seeds, almonds, cashews or pumpkin seeds instead as long as they don’t have any sugar or sweeteners added to them.
Any of these food options work for any meal. Pick and choose what you eat according to what sounds good. I often have broccoli salad or fruit for breakfast. My wife thinks I’m nuts but I know what I like!
Remember, you can take 4 - 6 capsules of Body food as many times per day as you need and you can substitute it for as many meals as you have the willpower for. The Body Food & Appetite Suppressant works extremely well right from the beginning, and continues to work better and better the longer you take it. I had been eating correctly and taking body food for a week and lost ten pounds, then I went on vacation and gained 6 of it back. When I got home I didn’t do anything for two weeks and my weight stayed the same. I decided it was time to hit it again, so I fasted for a day, and only took Body food and my HX Formula. I went from 245 to 237 in 24 hours. I’m sure a lot of it was water weight and toxins, but who cares, that’s great too!
Okay, let’s take a minute and talk about the DIRTY STUFF!
Despite the fact that these two products are going to do amazing things, changing the diet isn’t easy. Most people have families that we like to sit down and eat with, and eating something different than everyone else takes a lot of self control. We get it, we did the program first which is why we realized how hard this can be. The good news is, the family will support you 100%… most of the time:)
Another dirty truth. Unless you are superhuman, once in a while you are going to cheat. Don’t let this derail you. No matter how often you’ve cheated, don’t quit! Substitute raw vegetables or fruit for your next meal and start right there by taking Body Food and eating the correct foods again!
The good news!
You can have a whole cheat day every week where you eat as much of whatever you want all day long. Hard core cheating once a week actually boosts your metabolism and amps up your fat burning! It’s not uncommon to lose more weight on cheat day, but that only occurs if you limit your cheat days to once a week.
Once you’ve started losing belly fat, your body will make fast improvements! You’ll feel more energetic and clear headed way before the belly is completely gone.
There are other good things that start happening, too, but I’m not going to tell you about them. You’ll know what they are soon enough!
Take care! We hope you’ll join us and the thousands of others who are taking back their energy, clear heads, creativity and motivation by getting rid of their belly fat!!!
