Have you ever wanted to get rid of the fat underneath your arms, your batwings, nana flaps, whatever you want to call them. Today we want to talk about exactly that.

We know that you can target fat loss in certain areas of your body by balancing specific hormones, depending on the area of the body you carry fat.

Your fat underneath your arms actually relates to your sex hormones. Now, that’s particularly the male’s sex hormones: testosterone. Testosterone is something that the guys are quite familiar with but also girls have it too.

When girls have an imbalance of sex hormones it accumulates the fat underneath their arms. It happens in guys too. There are guys out there with the testosterone levels of a castrated peanut.

The trick is to bring back the balance of your sex hormones because what you find is that when you do have the body fat underneath your arms then chances are you have a poor sex drive as well. You do not have enough mojo, not enough testosterone to fuel you up or fire you up and balance out your fat loss.

Have you ever wondered how to to get rid of belly fat?

Today we’re going to talk about the steps that you can take to get rid of your own belly fat.  I have asked my husband, Hugh, to tell you about this as he is the expert at targeting fat loss to get rid of belly fat.

Belly fat is intimately related to your stress levels.  Now many of us in our western lifestyle are very stressed and stress comes from a whole manner of different places, from our lifestyles, our loved ones, from our work place, the food we eat or it could be from environmental places.   You might be exposed to various sorts of radiation or environmental things like pollution. All of it accumulates in your body and will stress your body out.  Then, you can develop your fat belly, a spare tire round the middle.

If you want to get rid of your fat belly then all you need to do is get rid of your stress. There’s a lot of lifestyle changes that you can make to reduce the stresses in your life or you can take supplements to help you manage your stresses in your life.

Have you ever wondered what kind of detoxes there are?

Where do you even start when you want to go into detox?

That’s what we’re gonna talk about today. So if you’ve never done a detox before and this is your first time taking the step to do it, Congratulations! You’re in a great place.

Doing a detox can actually be quite challenging and the first few days is almost always the hardest. Like I said in video, Can a detox help you get rid of belly fat?, at the end of the detox you can feel amazingly cleansed, totally full of focus and you are able to get rid of a lot of ailments that may have been frustrating you.

In order to prepare for a detox,  you need to sit and think about how and what you are going to do. There are a lot of ways to do a detox, depending pn your reasons for doing it.

First of all, if you’ve never done one and your diet is currently filled woth lots of fast foods, pre-packaged meals, junk, sugar, etc, I highly suggest that you start with at least cutting out the sugar in your diet. What I’m talking about is eating only whole foods.  That means NO SUGAR!

When you cut out sugar, you absolutely MUST read the ingredients on any packaged food you buy.  You will probably find that you won’t be buying it because it probably has sugar in it, if it’s in a package. If you have been eating lots of packaged foods, this exercise will challenge you, but trust me, it’s worth it! You’ll feel so much better and clearer when you start eating all whole foods and cut out all the sugar.

Now if you want to take it to another level, sometimes people do liquid detoxes. It lets your body stop having to worry about processing and breaking down food, so it can rest and detoxify everything yucky out. With liquid detoxes, all you do is drink. You’ll juice things. Honestly, you can juice everything. You can juice broccoli, spinach, you can have green drinks, fruit drinks, veggie drinks, carrots, celery, you name it you can juice it.

The most extreme option as far as cleansing goes is to actually have a fast. I’ve done this before and it’s extreme.  People do anything from 24 hour to 40 day fasts.  If you have not done anything like this before, you definitely want to speak to a health practitioner and make sure you’ve got someone helping you along the way. Fasting isn’t about starving yourself for weight loss.  (That won’t help you or work for your body in the end.) It’s about giving your body time to rest the digestive system.  It can be done with colonics to really cleanse yourself.  Again, please make sure you consult a health practitioner before doing something like this.  There are things to do to prepare yourself for it and steps you need to take after the fast for maximum benefit.

More specific detoxes include heavy metal detoxes, liver and colon cleanse.  For each of these consult a local practitioner for herbal supplements that can be taken to help cleanse the specific areas of the body that you are focusing on.  You can also speak to the practitioner about any ailments you have that may be helped by doing a detox and they will help guide you through the process and give you the best supplements for what you need.

This is just the basics of detox.  Please consult a local health practitioner before doing a detox and work with them to make it most effective for you.

Next time we’re gonna dig into colon cleansing and some enimas. It’s a bit of a messy topic but we’re gonna get into that one. I’ll talk to you guys tomorrow. Bye!

Do you ever wonder what is a healthy breakfast to eat when losing fat?  You may be shocked when I tell you what we are eating…

When you walk into the supermarket, it can be very overwhelming with the amount of breakfast cereal choices there are.  I do wonder who ever thought up the fact that we should eat cereal for breakfast?  I mean honestly, why should breakfast be different than any other meal?  Why not meat and potatoes, fish, sandwich, etc?

Getting serious… Breakfast should consist of whole foods, like every other meal.  Whether it’s smoked salmon and eggs or veggies, eggs and bacon, leftovers from dinner (assuming it was made with whole foods) etc…

Also, breakfast should be one of your biggest meals of the day.  You need the most energy in the morning to help sustain you throughout the day.  Many people get this backwards and eat big dinners.  Think about that… eating lots of food when you are about to rest.  Your body doesn’t need the energy and it takes lots of energy to break it down, so while it’s meant to be resting overnight, it’s now got to work to break down the food.  So… start your day with a big meal and end it with a smaller one.

Now… what do we eat in the mornings that keeps us losing fat?  On our plates you will find some fresh greens like kale, chards, collard greens, spinach, and sometimes we have this thing called tatsoi.  Our 11 month young loves mushrooms, so we usually have those with zucchini and avocado as well.  We also have bacon, eggs and sometimes sausage and/or steak or kangaroo.

The reason why we eat this is because it has whole foods, lots of really fantastic nutrients for us. It’s real food. Plus it’s good to have protein in the morning. It helps sustains our energy throughout the whole day. Some people might need more veggie than what we have on our plate. Overall though, it’s really good to start digging it in the morning actually eating real food. If it were up to me, I’d be skipping the cereals in a box that you can buy in the grocery store and go with something that’s “real”.

Some people say that eating breakfast like these that are actually quite high in protein and fat would say that you can’t lose weight eating breakfast like that. Let me just tell you both of us are down quite a lot of fat on our bodies.  So far I’m up to 12 and a half centimeters gone from my waist and about 11 centimeters from my hips. Hugh’s down 14% body fat in the last few months and this is the type of food we eat every single morning. So, yes, it is possible.

Please remember though that we are all built differently.  So what works for us, may not work for you.  We have a great way of being able to help you discover what foods in what proportions will help fuel your body best.  Please feel free to email us at info@targetedfatloss.com.au or call 02 8006 1256 if you want to learn more about this today.

I have a confession to make today. Over the last month, we’ve had a lot of stress in our lives. My husband and I decided to pack up house, move everything into storage and come overseas to the States to stay with my family for a little while. To say the least it was an incredibly crazy, chaotic, stressful month. All while having the holiday and still doing coaching and our business.  So, I let some bad old habits to slip back into my life and I really want to come on here and confess to you guys because we are all human.

A lot of times I coach my clients and they feel really bad about “slip-ups” and get all guilty and then drop off the band wagon, altogether. They stop losing weight, they get into bad habits again. They think, “Oh god it’s all over”! Well…  It’s not!

It’s been 4 weeks that I’ve been eating way too much chocolate again. In the past that’s been my way of dealing with stress.   I also basically stopped exercising for a few weeks because we just didn’t have time. It was chaotic and we have the holidays so we just wanted to chill out. Now, it’s about a month later. I know what I’ve done and I’ve taken the steps that I needed to take to get back onto my own band wagon. One of the reasons you haven’t heard from me in the last month is because I live in integrity. To me it’s really important that if I’m going to teach you guys stuff and coach, that I’m doing whatever I tell you as well. The videos kind of stopped last month because I think unconsciously, I just couldn’t really pass the word on when I wasn’t fully living what I was preaching.

Here I am, back on the bandwagon, doing all I can do hit my next goal.  I actually hit my last goal and dropped down to size 10 after gaining the weight from my pregnancy. Now, the goal is by the 7th of April to be down to US Size 6. Here goes guys, I’m back at it.

I’m back at the gym. I haven’t stop eating chocolate completely. I have definitely had it a few times in the last few weeks but there are days that I  haven’ t had any. I’m getting back on track again. It takes an effort and I’m back on the band wagon.  After the holidays and with new year’s resolution, if you had any slip ups, any  “ooopses”, you hop back on your bandwagon as well and let’s hit our goals.

By the way overseas, we’ve moved to the Palm Springs, California area, for the time being. It’s been a lot of fun being gypsies, hanging out. We are at all sorts of different people’s houses and meeting really amazing new people. So we’ve got some fun stuff happening and that means you guys are gonna learn some really great new things this year.  Stay tuned for some regular posts coming up about some not so talked about topics!  Trust me… you won’t want to miss these, so subscribe to find out when we post next.

Today was one of those days in motherhood when things didn’t go quite right. I was feeling really grateful today for having my mother’s group. We met at the beach today and we all just got together to share stuff that was going on and learn from each other.

The reason I’m sharing this with you is because having a support group works for moms, it works for fat loss, it works for every place in your life.

If you are looking for support in your life, create a group of people around you that will help you achieve your goals.  So if it’s asking for family support, if it’s going out, and getting a personal coach or trainer, make sure that you’re supported for your goals with your weight loss. Make sure you are supporting in your life. It really makes a huge difference.

Today I left my house feeling really really frustrated, only because I didn’t know what to do. The same thing happens with weight loss.  Sometimes it’s really frustrating because we get such conflicting facts. For me right now, I am struggling to get my little one to sleep.  One person tells me one thing, one person tells me another. It’s confusing and frustrating!

Same thing goes for weight loss, I know there are so much information out there. So it’s a matter of picking one thing and sticking with it for a while.  This is important.  So many people I know try something for a week, or even a few days.  It doesn’t work right away and they give up.  Fat loss doesn’t happen over night.  You need to keep working at it.  It took awhile to put the fat on, it may take awhile to take it off.

If you are confused by all the conflicting information out there, ask for help.  Look to people who are experts in the field.  The right thing for your friend or neighbor may work well for them, but may be the wrong approach for you.
Once you seek help from the experts.  Create a team of people around you to help support you in making your dreams come true.  this can include friends and family, co-workers etc.  Tell them what you are doing and ask them to join you in exercise and dietary changes.  Most importantly ask them to hold you accountable.

Wow… what a powerful day!  Over the weekend, I went to a workshop for the company I work with, Chris Howard Training.  We do this workshop in multiple cities around the world every year.  It’s called Breakthrough to Success.  It’s a 3 day workshop that is designed to help you make massive leaps forward in your life.

I only had a chance to stop in for about an hour today and while I was there we were going through a process that is designed to help you look at decisions that you made in the past and get different learnings from them so that you can move forward feeling empowered rather than letting that decision hold you back.  It’s an incredibly powerful process to help you overcome your “stuff”.

In any case, I decided that while I was there, I would get rid of the decision that “I don’t want to give up chocolate”.  It only takes a few minutes to do this.  I had made brownies for my friends running the event and they were in my lap.  When I finished with the process, looking at them, I felt nauseous.  Pretty powerful stuff!

I will see how this process goes long term, but so far, so good.  I’m not wanting to eat chocolate yet.  And for a chocoholic, that is surely a breakthrough!

(BTW… If you can relate to this and want someone to help you out by doing the same type of work to easily overcome eating chocolate (or your other food “addictions”) please feel free to email me at keri@evolveyourhealth.com.  I’d love to help you, no matter where you are in the world!)

All of this brings me to a point for you…

No matter what area of your life you are working on improving, you absolutely must look at your own limitations first.  It’s all about developing yourself personally.  Don’t look outside yourself for the answers because they are all within you.  Getting guidance from someone to help you uncover them is a great idea, but ultimately, the person who knows what’s best for you, is you!

If you want to move forward in your life, you must do some sort of personal development.  It can be through reading books, going to seminars, listening to webinars or teleseminars, taking classes, getting a coach, having mastermind groups… There are plenty of options out there ranging in price from free to thousands of dollars.

If you want a great place to start, please feel free to check out Breakthrough to Success in a city near you by signing up here… http://tinyurl.com/yhewkwg If you use this link, you will be able to go to a 3 day workshop, valued at $895 for free.  Trust me when I say… it’s worth every moment to be there!

My beautiful boy Robbie is the inspiration for the video today. I’m sitting here looking at his cute little fat rolls, his thunder thighs, flabby arms or bat wings and the love handles or what we call the “fat belly”. When we get older we think this is gross but for little babies it’s gorgeous! Babies need their fats to keep them warm, it’s actually their protection. They need this insulation to warm themselves. As we grow older, we may not need that amount of fat to protect and insulate ourselves

What are you protecting yourself from? Is it an emotional thing? Are you carrying an additional baggage from something emotional? Maybe it’s a physical thing? Are you protecting yourself from some physical harm or mental stress. Some people used to say that a presentor or a frequent speaker on a plarform often use it as an excuse. They can’t fit and can’t go out, lead or present because they don’t look good enough. So you stop yourself from actually achieving your dreams.

So what is it for you that you are protecting yourself from? This one is pretty huge guys. When you get to the bottom of this, watch those flabby arms, that fat belly, those love handles and those thunder thighs just roll off. It’s simple. Just keep working on your mind. Keep doing things you know how to do. Eat healthy and do exercise. Trust me. Keep listening to these tips and your fat would just be rolling away. Until next time, Robbie and I are signing out.

We all have those days that just stink.  Whether it’s just our state of mind or a few things that just don’t go right in the day, we just don’t feel good.

You wake up in the morning and get out of bed, feeling a bit cranky from not getting a restful night sleep.  Then you go to have your breakfast and realize there are no eggs left.  Yikes… It’s time to head off to work and you just miss your bus.  I hate that, when you see it pulling away as you walk up and they won’t wait for you, even though they see you running!  You get to work late and then your boss wants to have a chat.  Uh oh!

And the day just goes on from there.  What do you do for yourself when you see this bad day start to unfold?  Do you turn to food to comfort yourself?  Does it EVER make you feel any better? Maybe the immediate gratification of the tasty chocolate in your mouth seems to put a smile on your face, but does it really?  When you have finished ravishing through the chocolate and secretly thrown away the wrapper, because you can’t believe it’s 9am and you have just devoured a kingsize chocolate bar, how do you feel?

Does the day go better or do you actually have a feeling of guilt for actually turning to food, which only makes you beat yourself up more?  Most of the people I speak to, take the guilty path.  I have done something “naughty” so I will feel guilty and punish myself the rest of the day, which usually leads to eating more “bad” foods.  It’s a vicious cycle really, isn’t it?  I know… I’ve been there and did it for many years.

Ultimately, what you do with yourself, the way your day unravels and the decisions you make… are all up to you.  When your day starts to go down the drain, you can choose to let it continue that way, or you can do something about it.

For me the best way to do something about it is to stop.  I recognize my mood and choose to change it.  Go outside and take some time to breathe.  Get up from your desk and walk around.  Wherever you are, just stop what you are doing and re-focus.  Start to think of good things.  Put a smile on your face.  Laugh (even if it’s a fake one)! If you know about using resource anchors, then use an anchor to change your mood.  (If you don’t then, let’s set up a time to teach you.)

Sometimes the eating happens so quickly that you don’t even realize you’ve done it until it’s too late… The crumbs are already scattered!  If you still have moments where this happens, do yourself a favor… don’t beat yourself up about it.  Just recognize what you did an do what you have to do to create a better mood or state of mind.  Then move on.  Make sense?  Just because you did that doesn’t mean you are a bad person… just means you ate some food, maybe lots of it. 

At the end of the day, you are in control of the way you feel and eating won’t change that!  So, choose to feel better without relying on food and you will truly feel better.  Plus, you will be really proud of yourself for not turning to food.  This is truly just a decision that can be easily made.  Bring it on!

I’m sure you know that nutrition and exercise are a big component to fat loss.  I think your mind plays the most crucial role of all.  If you have been on diets and exercised and still been left with flabby arms, thunder thighs, a fat belly, double chin, love handles, or man boobs then I ask what you did for your mind?

In order to begin to get your mind on track with your goal, start visualizing your self thin.  If you have pictures of yourself at your ideal body size, then go get those out and place them around your house.

If you don’t have pictures of yourself that you want to use, cut them out of a magazine, or use ones of friends or family.  If you are struggling to find a “normal” sized person in a magazine that hasn’t been air-brushed, look in clothing catalogues.  Remember the plus size catalogues.  You can also find plenty of photos online.  Use Google photos! If you use other people’s photos, make sure that you put your own head on the picture.

Make sure the picture that you use is of someone the size that you desire to be.  If you have a lot of weight to lose, it may be easier to start visualizing yourself at a halfway mark.  So if you are a size 18 and want to get to a 10, maybe you can find a picture of someone at a size 14 first.  Work to there and then keep going from there.  Start with something you can believe in.

Wake up every morning and look at the picture of your ideal self, imagine how you look, feel, and act when you are your ideal size.  What do you say to yourself when you are your ideal size?

Do the same thing when you go to bed at night.  If at any point in the day, you have doubts or negativity about your body creep in, imagine yourself in your ideal body.

The more you imagine it, the more you believe it.  The more you believe it, the quicker you will get rid of your belly fat, your flabby arms, love handles, and thunder thighs, and/or man boobs.
