If you’re on a low-carb diet, exercising regularly, yet still struggling with waist size, this is for you.

There are 7 fat-burning hormones that are triggered by factors such as exercise and diet. These hormones are countered by 2 other dominant hormones, cortisol and insulin. In the presence of these two hormones, fat-burning hormones will not work!

Cortisol isn’t just a stress hormone! It’s also a fat-storing hormone, specifically at night. If your cortisol is too high at night, you will not burn fat while you’re sleeping.

Insulin is a fat-storing hormone that stops fat-burning hormones from working. High cortisol can cause your body to produce glucose, consequently spiking insulin.

If you’re struggling with weight loss, especially belly fat, discipline and willpower aren’t the problem. You can’t lose weight while under stress!

Lemon balm tea is one of the best weight loss drinks! It contains rosmarinic acid, which increases GABA. To improve the benefits, consume lemon balm tea with 1 scoop of magnesium glycinate powder, 60 minutes before bed. Magnesium glycinate helps lower cortisol levels and also increases GABA and insulin sensitivity.

Here are a few other tips to help you lose belly fat:

•No snacking

•No liquids 90 minutes before bed

•Lower carbohydrate intake

•Daily walks in the sun

•Write down problems before bed to avoid problem-solving/overthinking while trying to sleep
