5 Steps to Loose Your Gut, Forever

1. Check for Food Allergies and Intolerances – To lose the gut you need to make sure that the abdominal muscle are actually awake… what do I mean, awake? Your deep abdominal wall is intrinsically linked to your colon. This means that if you are eating foods that irritate your gut lining, such as food you are intolerant to… your abdominal muscles take a nap. This is called “vicero-somatic inhibition” VSI. Another example of how VSI works is when you are having a heart attack your left are will go numb. The most common food intolerances are gluten and dairy.

2. Eliminate On Time – Another thing that can cause VSI is having fecal matter packed inside your colon. If you have 2-3 days worth of food lodged inside your intestines, you make a safe bet that you will not have a flat stomach… among other things!

3. Reduce Toxins – Body fat stores toxins… your liver can only handle so much work at one time, so when the paperwork piles up – he ships it off to the storage house. Which also happens to be your belly fat. In an attempt to save you from toxic overload your body will then try to keep the body fat from mobilizing and releasing the toxins into your blood stream.

4. Train the Inner Abs – You can crunch from now until the cows come home (if you have cows) and you will not get a flatter stomach. Not until you train the Deep Abdominal Wall (transverses abdominus). This is only done by ‘drawing in’ the belly button… not crunching.

5. Burn The Fat – Keep your metabolic fire burning! This is best done by exercising often and eating well-balanced meals throughout the day. Also, be sure to get plenty of sleep (8 hours) and stay well hydrated (1/2 your bodyweight in oz. of water daily).
