Reduce Inflammation to Burn Fat
- Inflammation blocks fat-burning hormones, mainly caused by environmental toxins and poor food quality.
- Remove plastics, use glass containers, and eat organic, GMO-free foods to reduce inflammation and belly fat.
Sleep Over Early Workouts
- Prioritize quality sleep over excessive early workouts to activate fat-burning hormones.
- Get deep restorative sleep with no food 3 hours before bed to improve fat loss.
Avoid Seed Oils, Use Healthy Fats
- Avoid seed oils like canola, corn, and soybean oil because they cause long-lasting inflammation.
