5 tips for flatter tummy

5 tips to get your tummy flatter..it's easier than you think!

1. Ditch dairy - dairy causes bloating and inflammation. Even just stopping dairy one day you'll notice a difference.

2. Eat low glycemic - not only do sugars and breads and pastas cause weight gain but all highlighting what foods cause your body to hold onto fat which makes it tough to see your abs.

3. Take magnesium at bedtime. - taking magnesium when you go to bed helps you to sleep better but also makes a huge impact on whether or not you have good elimination habits.

4. Take digestive enzymes. - digestion is often slow or sluggish due to the lack of enzymes that should be in food but are often lost your cooking a processing. Taking digestive enzyme's help to process the food and also help you to get more nutrients assimilated into your body from your food.

5. Do core centered exercise. - this is the obvious one. Just focus your exercise on your core to help it to get stronger and flatter the best exercises are barre, Pilates and yoga.

I teach all of this in my Six Week Slim Down Course in great detail.

Fast Easy Mornings

Do you ever miss your morning muffin and coffee?? I don't eat "muffins" anymore, except these. Super easy, versatile and fast... Perfect for Six Week Slim Down! 

Use 6 whole eggs plus six egg whites, whist in seasons such as salt and pepper. Then add minced veggies (leftover from dinner is fine) and a bit of goat cheese if you like or fresh herbs. Bake in lines and sprayed muffin cups 350 degrees for 20 min. Makes about 1 dozen.

Reinvent your life

Do you ever find those photos that you just never want anyone to see? I found this one today and after talking with a lady in my class who felt she couldn't get her body in shape, so I thought this would be inspiring. 

She couldn't believe that I was once 147 pounds and a size 12 but it's true. At the time I was 21 (left) I was exercising, and I really didn't think I was eating that badly. But now at 41(right) I actually exercise less than I did at that time eat better than I did at that time and feel better than I have in my entire life. I weigh between 111-115 and size 0/2. It did take me some time to figure it out but once I did I have been able to control my body and my health. And after going to graduate school and learning about disease I put together all of my knowledge and offer to people to help them do the same thing. One of the transformation programs I developed is the #sixweekslimdown and it's been very popular! You can learn more about the work that I do and how it can help you at WWW.mywellbessexperience.org

How to do smoothies right!

It's too hot to eat heavy food today much less cook! Great day to break out the blender and make a cold and refreshing smoothie. Here's how to do it and not below your sugar allotment for the week.. 1. Start with a sugar-free base such as homemade almond milk or coconut milk.

2. Use frozen coconut milk cubes instead of bananas. These are low sugar and low glycemic and will keep your smoothie healthy and six week slim down friendly.

3. Add a clean protein source such as egg white protein or plant-based proteins that do not cause digestive upset. Make sure that it is low in sugar or has none at all. 4. And a big fist full of spinach or other greens to get more nutrients in.

5. If you want it sweeter use Stevia or Monk fruit powder. Enjoy!
