Fast forward to today and how to lose belly fat fast is still one of the more commonly searched health and fitness topics of all time.

That’s why today I’m going to show you exactly how to lose that stubborn stomach fat and start carving that sexy stomach.

And it’s all backed by science.

There are 5 main causes to a pesky belly bulge.

#1. Overeating

Kind of obvious, here but it needs to be said.

The main culprit of belly fat is consuming too many calories leading to weight gain and stomach fat.

And the main way to lose the belly fat is reducing fat all across the entire body.

#2. Hormone Imbalances, Specifically Cortisol

High amounts of the stress hormone cortisol have been linked to higher abdominal fat distribution.

Other hormonal issues have also been linked with slow weight loss and difficulty for the body to properly uptake nutrients.

So it’s just as important to get your hormones in check as it is to make sure your diet is aligned.

#3. Bloating

Missed by a lot of health professionals, bloating certainly doesn’t help with belly fat.

This is usually caused by high sodium intake, excessive carbohydrate intake, and can even be a sign of food intolerance.

#4. Age

The older you get, the harder the process of losing belly fat will become.

You can get a flat stomach at any age, it will just take more effort when you are 50 than when you are 20.

#5. Alcohol Intake

Studies have shown that certain types of alcohol are directly correlated with stubborn belly fat.

And if your overall goal is to lose fat, cutting down on alcohol intake is a simple solution that really works.

Here’s how to lose belly fat, actually backed by science!!

1. Chow Down on fiber rich foods

Studies have shown there is a direct relation between fiber intake and reduction of belly fat

The type of fiber you want to focus on is viscous fiber.  These are the types of fibers that bind to water and slow down the digestion process.

It can be found in beans, vegetables, and whole fruits

2. Cut out the two S’s – Sugar and Salt

Sugar is turned into fructose in the body which gets stored as visceral fat.

There are also plenty of studies that show how sugar increases belly fat, causes cravings, and is ultimately TERRIBLE for the body.

Cut it out of your diet.

There’s also similar problem with salt.

The high salt intake in an average diet causes stored water weight and lots of belly bloat.

Reducing salt intake to between 1500mg and 2000mg per day will usually result in an immediate reduction in belly bloat.

3. Drink Green Tea or Coffee Before Workouts

Studies have shown that adding in caffeine before workouts

-Increases work output
-Helps burn more calories
-Shows a greater reduction in visceral fat

The best two healthy sources for caffeine are black coffee or green tea.

Drink 30 minutes before exercise for more gainz and less belly fat!

4. Add Apple Cider Vinegar into The Diet

Apple cider vinegar is uniquely effective for weight loss and eliminating stomach fat.

Its ability to regulate blood sugar and curb appetite is also awesome for overall health.

Studies have also shown that those who consume 1 -2 tablespoons daily have a significant decrease in visceral fat than those who do not (study).

5. Regulate your sleep patterns.

For every hour of sleep the body gets that is fewer than 8, the chances of visceral fat increase.

If you’re only getting in 6 hours a night, you’ll likely have a 22% increase in the gain of visceral fat (study).

There’s a reason lack of sleep is associated with cravings, high cortisol levels, poor skin, and other health issues.

Get 8 hours of high quality sleep every night.

6. Eat More of These Fats

A study done by Swedish scientists showed a strange result.

Those who ate lots of polyunsaturated fats lost more visceral fat, lost more weight, and gained more lean muscle than those that ate other fats (study).

Polyunsaturated fats can be found in fish, nuts, and seeds

Top 3 Rotator Cuff Exercise Mistakes (FIX YOUR SHOULDER PAIN!)

Fix your shoulder pain by working out like an athlete here
http://athleanx.com/x/fix-your-shoulder-pain

The rotator cuff muscles are the most overlooked and misunderstood shoulder muscles and are usually ignored in most workout programs. When you realize that these small muscles are the only ones you have to counteract the overwhelming imbalance established by the more attention getting chest, back, and arms, you start to see their importance.

In this video, I show you the top 3 biggest rotator cuff exercise mistakes and how to fix them. You see, even when people do buy into the concept of incorporating these exercises into their workout programs it doesn’t mean that they get them right.

First, when performing any band or dumbbell external rotation exercise for your shoulder, you have to be sure to keep your elbow and upper arm tucked closely to your side throughout. Very commonly, people tend to let their elbow drift away from their body as they complete the external rotation range of motion. This activates the lateral deltoid which quickly tends to dominate the movement. The problem with this is that an overactive delt is a major contributor to the imbalance that already exists between it and the rotator cuff muscles on that arm.

Allowing the deltoid to dominate the strength balance will lead to a migration of the humeral head upwards as you raise your arm overhead (as in a shoulder press). To keep the humerus centrally located in the glenoid fossa you need to have adequate strength of the rotator cuff. You will do this only if you don’t allow it to be overshadowed when doing isolated external rotation rotator cuff exercises.

The second mistake is performing your rotator cuff exercises with a rounded shoulder. Round shoulders come from poor posture. Strengthening your rotator cuff muscles with poor posture is only reinforcing the issue you have already. To do this correctly, you have to align your shoulders back and down and then perform your rotator cuff exercises.

Continuing on this point and leading into the third mistake, control of your shoulder blade will help dramatically. To position your shoulder blades “in your back pocket”, you’ll need to have adequate strength of both your serratus anterior and lower traps muscles. In the video, I show you two exercises you can do to strengthen these indirect shoulder muscles using as little as your own bodyweight.

The bottom line is, in order to have a fully functional shoulder without shoulder pain you need to strengthen your shoulder completely. This means making sure your rotator cuffs are strong. If you are looking for a workout program that can help you with your shoulder pain while allowing you to build much bigger shoulders, chest and arms…be sure to head to http://athleanx.com and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System.

What Is The Best Multi-vitamin?

http://rawmusclegain.com/free (Free 12 Part Series Here!)

– The best mutl-vitamin is very debatable. There are some popular ones out there that are highly effective such as animal pak and orange triad. Optimum nutrition's opti-men is also very popular. They have a female version called opti-women as well.

– The thing about these multi-vitamins is they are mainly synthetic. Other multi-vitamins such as new chapter may be superior since the source of their vitamins is always derived naturally and not synthesized.

– However, with the current biology that we have, going with any of the above multi-vitamins will assist you greatly with your diet. We simply are not able to receive all of the diverse nutrients out there with our 21 century busy lifestyle. We would need to be eating 50% of the day just to consume the entire spectrum of the ideal amount of vitamins and minerals from whole foods.

– Many people swear by animal pak, but others don't like the idea of swallowing 11 pills per day. In which case Orange triad or opti-men would be ideal. Do a little research and see which one suits your best.

3 Part Exercise to REMOVE Tight Trapezius Muscle in Neck (Neck Pain & Pinched Nerve) – Dr Mandell

All neck problems are directly related to the trapezius muscle. When the trapezius is contracted from postural imbalance, pinched nerve, disc bulging/herniation, or chronic stress, the biomechanics of the neck and surrounding structures become weak and unstable.
