Looking for the ultimate workout for six-pack abs? A 15-minute six pack abs workout, no less? Then Elliot Burton is your man. If you've been spending more time at the ice cream maker and less time concentrating on your abs crunches, fret not: theres still plenty of time to lose belly fat and get a six pack if you heed this expert advice. I mean seriously, just look at this guy. You can tell he knows what he's talking about. And even if he didn't, we wouldn't tell him that to his face.

Elliot is the face of fitness coaching outlet The Balance Fam and the proud owner of a washboard stomach thats firm enough to slice smoked ham on. He is also one of Grenade's ambassadors and swears by its ranges, which are among the best protein bars and best protein powder shakes.

More often than not, those looking to get ripped and to achieve shredded abs will look past the most important factor: nutrition. You can do as many crunches as you like, but if your body fat percentage is too high, they simply wont be visible. And, when it comes to lowering your body fat percentage, what youre eating and how much youre eating is key.

Diet and weight loss where required plays a huge part, so Id advise anyone to look at cutting down on fatty foods and excess sugar before embarking on the plan. After that, adding these key ab exercises into your workout regime will keep any six-pack sharp.

Below, Elliot has listed his favourite abs workout, going into detail on how to perform each move with the correct form and why it is beneficial. But first

As Elliot explained earlier, the worst kept secret to gaining a solid six pack is cleaning up the diet and that means cutting down on refined sugars, avoiding lots of saturated fat and keeping a close eye on calorie input and output.

In short, only those with a body fat percentage of around 10 per cent or lower truly reveal the sort of washboard stomach that makes it to a Speedo photoshoot, so take a look at a few of our diet recommendations and tips below.

Similarly, additional exercise that targets key muscle groups will require additional protein in the diet to aid muscle repair and growth. The only way to get a six pack of your dreams is to ensure the abdominal muscles swell sufficiently to create that desirable rippling torso.

Throwing in a protein shake during the day can curb the desire to snack on fatty foods and injects a healthy dose of the good stuff, while lots of protein snacks exist that are low in fact, carbs and free from sugar but still taste delicious if you really cant give up that afternoon chocolate break.

For this routine, youll need an interval timer on your smartphone or computer. There are loads of free apps out there that will help you time each working interval. Set it up so you are working on each move for 30 seconds at a time, going straight into each individual exercise with zero rest in between.

Once all exercises are complete, rest for 60 seconds and then hit the routine again, aiming to complete three-to-four rounds in total. This should be sufficient to really work the abdominal muscles hard.

When performed correctly, these exercises prove to be extremely effective in building strong and defined abs, however, in order to achieve maximum results, its vital that you focus on a few thing, Elliot explains.

Focus on form throughout, ensuring the abs are tensed and you arent using other muscle groups to help perform the move. Control your breathing, aiming to breath out under tension. Finally, dont rush the movements. In fact, the slower and more controlled you are with each rep, the better the end result, he adds.

The perfect plank position

1. Plank

An abs staple, the dreaded plank is a killer but for good reason. This exercise not only works the abs, but is great for improving posture, flexibility and ultimately strengthening the core.

Adopt a press-up position but lower your weight onto your forearms, rather than the palms of your hands. Keeping a straight line running from head to toe, keep the back flat, butt engaged and core tight. Hold this position for 30 seconds.

2. Leg Raises

Another essential exercise to add to your abs routine, leg raises focus predominantly on developing and strengthening the lower abs, an area which is quite often neglected with the over-use of exercises such as crunches and sit-ups.

Lay flat on your back, arms slightly out to the sides with palms facing down. Now lift both legs off the ground by tensing your abdominal muscles. Raise up, hold for two seconds and slowly lower in a controlled motion.

A progression of this movement is the hanging leg raise, performed whilst hanging from a pull-up bar. But be warned, this one isnt for the faint hearted, as it requires good grip and upper body strength. Alas, youll certainly see the results if performed consistently.

A reverse crunch is a nice play on the traditional move

3. Reverse Crunches

The reserve crunch is a personal favourite of mine and, when performed correctly, can be extremely effective in developing a rock-solid core. Lying flat on the ground, with your knees raised and hands beneath your bottom, simply lift your feet off the ground and draw your legs into your torso and then back again thats one rep.

Its a great alternative to regular crunches and, similar to leg raises, this move really works the lower abs, which is vital if its a six-pack youre going for rather than just a four-pack.

Slow the bicycle crunches down for the bets results

4. Bicycle Crunches

Heres one for your upper abs and obliques. In order to really see the benefit from this exercise, ensure you slow things right down. Often, bicycle crunches are performed incorrectly, with many rushing through them.

For best results, simply lay flat on the floor with your lower back pressed to the ground pull in your navel to target those abs even further. Place your hands behind your head and bring your knees in towards your chest, lifting your shoulder blades off the ground.

Straighten one leg out in front of you and twist your body towards the opposite knee, touching the knee with your elbow. Repeat on the opposite side and for a total of 20 reps but keep things slow and controlled, this isnt a Tour de France stage!

The side plank variation really works the oblique muscles

5. Side Plank

Another plank?! I hear you scream. Yep, and before you dismiss this vital move, hear me out. The side plank is arguably one of the most effective exercises for developing obliques and strengthening the core, making it a must-have addition to your regime.

Lay on your left side with your right arm out in front at a right angle to your body. Stack your feet on top of one another and now raise your hips off the ground by engaging your core and glute muscles.Hold this position for 15 seconds, keeping everything tight, and then swap sides.

Like the standard plank, its a movement that encompasses more than just the core, strengthening the shoulders and testing out your endurance too.

During lockdown weight gain is perhaps inevitable, and not necessarily the end of the world. But if you want to lose weight or at least not put on too much extra weight there is one thing you can do that is almost certain to help. It is very obvious when you think about it, and arguably not that easy, but it will give positive results, and perhaps it might not have occurred to you before.

So, you want to know how to avoid isolation weight gain at home? There is one item in a lot of people's diets that could be easily cut and would result in losing weight faster. You guessed it: alcohol, booze, and the drink. No one needs a lecture about why alcohol is bad for your health but I think a lot of you don't realise how consuming alcohol effects your diet and your weight loss. Or your weight gain, more accurately.

If Google Trends is anything to go by, everyone seems to be having more booze than usual now that we are in full lockdown. And in the case of the UK in particular, that is saying something.

Best protein shake blender: there are brands other than Nutribullet, you know

Let's get one thing out of the way right at the beginning: the best way to lose weight is not to exercise more, but to eat less. Especially now that we have to stay indoors almost all the time, eating the same amount of food as we used to will result in us putting on weight. Cutting back on calories of any sort will help you in your weight loss battle. No news there. Avoiding these 5 types of food can also help you lose weight faster.

There are a lot of misconceptions about alcohol and as I mentioned above, I'm not here to lecture anyone about just how bad it is to consume alcoholic beverages. Sure, some types of alcohols contain certain micronutrients (like minerals) that can be beneficial for health, but this doesn't outweigh the negative effects of these drinks.

One very important thing to realise about alcohol is that it is basically pure carbohydrate. Carbs are one of the three main macronutrients your body needs to function; the other two are lipids (fats) and protein. This doesn't mean your body needs alcohol to function, on the contrary. Drinking alcohol adds nothing to your diet, alcohol calories are just 'empty calories'.

Shop low-calorie beer at Skinny Booze

Just how many calories, though? There are a few options that are considered 'low-calorie' drinks, like vodka and diet coke. Although diet coke can be considered free of calories (still pretty bad in every way) a double shot (50 ml) of vodka contains over 100 calories. You would have to run 10 minutes to burn off those calories and that is just one drink.

Shop alcohol-free beer at Amazon UK

How about beer? A small bottle (12 oz/355 ml) of Goose Island IPA is 208 calories, twice as much as what's in a double shot vodka plus diet coke combo. And whoever has only one small bottle of beer when they drink? That's right, no one.

Shop light beer at Walmart US

Maybe wine? A bottle (750 ml) of Cabernet Sauvignon is just under 600 calories, meaning that two medium glasses (approx. 175 ml) contain around 250-300 calories.

We used the Drinkaware Unit and Calorie Calculator to calculate the below numbers.

For the rest, we used MyfitnessPal's database and the manufacturers websites.

The best idea, of course, is to keep your alcohol consumption to the minimum. As I mentioned in the 'how to lose weight at home' article, being mindful about your diet and food/drink intake can help. Before you pour yourself another drink, ask yourself: do I want another drink? Am I bored? Is there another task I'm putting off by drinking?

Admittedly, on some occasions, especially during social gatherings, it is pretty challenging to get out of drinking at least some alcohol. When everyone is having beers and wines around you, the social pressure on you to have one too could be immense. Even in these cases, there are ways to reduce consumption.

If you are a wine drinker, have a soda spritzer instead of just a glass of wine. You would still get the sensation of having a wine in a wine glass, but you also drink plenty of water, which dilutes the alcohol and makes it easier for your body to digest it more efficiantly.

If you are more of a beer drinker, see if there are any low calorie/alcohol-free beers in stock. A bottle of alcohol-free Holstein is only 8 calories (!) and there are plenty of low-cal options out there, especially if you live in the US.

And in any case, if you drink a glass of water after you had a drink, your stomach will fill up sooner and you will feel fuller sooner, making you less likely to drink too much alcohol. It also helps with hangovers, too.

As the world comes together to fight this global threat of COVID-19, we at home continue to fight our individual battles with health and fitness. It is becoming increasingly important to focus on our fitness goals as being obese or overweight increases our risk for contracting the infection. It is time to up our fitness quotient to keep our immune system strong. People are indulging in binge eating on unhealthy foods due to increased stress, anxiety or just out of boredom. Since the time of lock down, everyone is turning chefs in our own little fancy ways to keep our foodie-souls happy. Surveys conducted have shown that sales of ingredients for baking have gone up during the lock down period as everyone is baking cakes and cookies . While its great to keep oneself busy we have to be conscious of the fact that cakes and cookies are made from refined flour, sugar and fat and if eaten in excess can prove detrimental to our health. This is the time to take stock of our health and work at improving our fitness levels and prevent ourselves from getting lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, etc.

Celebrity chefs are helping people with easy-to-make recipes via various social media platforms which is proving to be a boon to people who do not know how to cook.

Everyone is talking about Immunity Building and Mindful Eating to help us stay fit and healthy to fight this virus. It is important to make a list of ingredients in advance before going grocery shopping so that we pick up the right foods which help us stay fit and healthy.

According to some research, there is a growing demand for packaged foods with high nutrition value and health benefits and people are ordering them through e-commerce platforms. A lot of people are ordering healthy alternatives like green teas, green coffees, hi-protein soups with superfoods to keep them healthy and fit during these times. Here are 5 Simple Hacks to help you eat healthy and boost your immunity.

Switch to Green Teas / Green CoffeesWhile we work from home, we tend to take more and more of our chai-coffee breaks to help us get through the day. While we all know they both have their pros and cons, we can always switch to their healthier alternatives like Superfood Moringa Green Tea, it is formulated to give you all the benefits of green tea combined with the power of Moringa. It is packed with vitamins and minerals. It is rich in vitamin C and has antioxidant properties which helps boost immunity. It helps maintain bone & joint health, helps regulate metabolism and aids in weight management. For all the coffee enthusiasts, green coffee is really beneficial for immunity boosting. Green coffee is unroasted and hence has three times more antioxidant potential which is otherwise lost during the roasting process. Thus, making it a really helpful immunity booster and also enhancing your weight control plans.

Pick the Right ProteinsFor the immune system to function at its best, it is important to consume good quantity and quality of protein in the diet. A quarter of your meal should always include the right protein intake. Incorporate protein rich foods such as eggs, curd, buttermilk, paneer, sprouts, dal, soybean, soy chunks, soy granules, lean meat, fish, chicken etc. in the meals. These days, you get instant-ready soup with superfoods; they are so nutritious that it has up to four times the protein content compared to regular soups available on e-commerce. It is a convenient and nourishing option to keep you warm and agile.

Increase Beta-Carotene IntakeBeta-carotene converts itself into vitamin A, which is an anti-inflammatory vitamin. Carrots, spinach, sweet potato, moringa (drumstick) leaves, and pumpkin are all good sources of beta-carotene. Consuming one cup of the above-mentioned foods (anyone) can give around 60-100% of the total daily dose of beta-carotene. Inculcating this habit into your diet will enhance your immunity with anti-inflammatory vitamins.

Make way for MagnesiumMagnesium in your diet can be a vital factor in boosting your immunity. Include millets like ragi, jowar, nuts like almonds and cashewnuts (unsalted, in limited amounts), pulses, green leafy vegetables and seeds like poppy, flax, chia and sunflower to boost immunity. 2 tablespoons of any of these seeds or one cup of veggies or pulses can fulfill 50% of the daily requirement. Ensure that all fruits and vegetables are washed thoroughly, particularly leafy vegetables, cauliflower, and broccoli as a precautionary measure.

Daily Dose of Vitamin-DVitamin D is an essential immunity booster and helps regulate the bodys immune response. Studies have shown that 55% of our population has low Vitamin D levels while it's 80% of the obese/overweight population. Test your Vitamin D levels and consult your doctor in case they are low. You can also go up to the terrace or to your balcony without sunscreen during the day to boost your vitamin D levels. To maintain healthy blood levels, aim to get 1030 minutes of midday (11am-1pm)sunlight. This has become increasingly important in these days where most of us are working from home and staying indoors.

DEAR DR. ROACH: My adult son has lost over 100 pounds on an intermittent fasting diet (16 hours fasting per day) and now wants to continue fasting in the morning and just eat a heavier lunch and dinner to maintain his new weight. I am not sure that this kind of long-term fasting is good for his health. For his meals, he eats anything he wants and counts his calories. I have told him that it is better for his health if he eats more of a Mediterranean-style diet, which would include a plate made up of mostly vegetables, a small amount of meat, grains and some good fats. Could you advise us what you think is a good way to maintain weight loss after being on an intermittent fasting diet? G.B.

ANSWER: Most of the studies on intermittent fasting use an alternate-day approach, where a person takes in very little food (25% of needs) on fast days and more (125%) on the intermittent feast day. The studies show effective weight loss, similar to those put on a calorie-restricted diet. There arent as many data on a 16-hour daily fast.

My experience is that intermittent fasting is an effective strategy for some people in whom other strategies have been unhelpful. One of my colleagues, an expert in weight loss, calls intermittent fasting another tool in her box.

While I agree with you that a Mediterranean-style diet has many health benefits, your son has had success with his fasting strategy. I have seen over and over again people having success with their plan (whatever that plan might be), only to go back to their old dietary habits and have the weight come back on. I would recommend he continue with the intermittent fasting, continuing to count calories, but to try to make sure what he does eat is as healthy as possible.

DEAR DR. ROACH: In a recent column, a reader was concerned about his enlarged prostate and possible UTI. You wrote that he may possibly benefit from changing the pH of his urine, but you did not specify which way. It implied that acidic urine could be a problem. However, doesnt the drug Hiprex given for recurring UTIs help prevent infections by making the urine acidic? J.B.

ANSWER: Methenamine (Hiprex) is converted in an acidic environment (a pH below 5.5) to ammonia and formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is not an antibiotic, but does have general bacteria-killing effects. Hiprex also contains two organic acids, hippuric acid and mandelic acid, which help keep the urine pH low so the drug will work. Other physicians prescribe vitamin C in addition to help ensure an acidic urine.

So, its not the acidic urine that kills the bacteria with methenamine, its that the drug is converted to bacteria-killing formaldehyde in the acidic urine. Most bacteria are relatively resistant to the acidic pH changes that are possible in the urine.

Methenamine is not an oft-used treatment. The antibacterial effect of the formaldehyde is weak compared with antibiotics. You are correct that it is most commonly used to prevent infections rather than to treat them. I have given it in women who have had allergies to multiple antibiotics.

High-compression shaping garments also known aswaist trainers are worn around the midriff and are believed to slim down peoples waistlines instantly and help them achieve their fitness goals. They stimulate heat in the core region and make people sweat more even without having to indulge in any sort of physical activity.

It is a type of undergarment made with thick fabric and hard metal bonding secured with a lacing system comprising of hooks or Velcro. They are basically corsets with a modern twist, said Healthline.

Can a waist trainer transform your figure?

Apparently not!While it can give you instant transformation, you need to train your waist to maintain the desired "hourglass shape."The Americal Board of Cosmetic Surgery Blog opined that a waist trainer cannot change anyones body shape and that it is highly unlikely to get any lasting effects.

While wearing a shaping garment every now and then probably wont do any harm, long-term waist training is simply an ineffective way to slim down. It will do nothing to change your body proportions, and it can lead to many health problems, said the blog.

There is no evidence to support the idea that a waist trainer can help mold your body into a specific shape or achieve spot reduction or weight loss. But there are chances that it could lead to some pretty nasty side effects.

If you were to wear a waist trainer for long periods of time, depending on how tight, you will absolutely create medical problems, not just in reducing muscle and core strength, but in how it affects the internal organs,Dr. Roxann Engle, a family medicine physician and medical director ofUCI Health-Tustin told UCI Health.

Heres a list of ill effects of waist trainers you should know if you are considering to try one:

1. Back Pain

Wearing a waist trainer might gradually cause the muscles in your core to weaken, leading to back pain and poor posture. It could also cause overall physical weakness since it reduces lung capacity and pushes down your intestines.

2. Gastroespohageal reflux (GERD)

Wearing tight garments like corset or waist trainers can cause or worsen GERD symptoms. The pressure from the garment can cause the acid from the stomach to travel upwards and reach the esophagus. This could lead to heartburn and unwanted stress on internal organs.

3. Skin irritation

Wearing it for a long period can result in chafing and discomfort. Some people could experience itching due to the sweat and generated heat while wearing a waist trainer.

4. Breathing difficulty

The garment could put a lot of pressure and unnecessary tightness which can make it harder for people to breathe. Sometimes, it can also make people pass out. When worn while sleeping it can lead to oxygen deprivation which can impair your internal organ functions.

5. Internal damage

Since it squeezes your midsection, it forces your internal organs such as the kidneys and liver into unnatural positions. This can affect the blood flow and impair the functions of these organs. In the longer run, this can lead to permanent organ damage and reduced muscle strength.

GEMMA Collins was all smiles as she showed off her three stone weight loss after on/ off boyfriend James Argent revealed that she'd saved his life.

The 39-year-old star wowed her followers as she posed in a floral sundress from her clothing range, with her trim figure on display.

In the snap, Gemma is wearing a red patterned tea dress with frill detailing on the sleeves.

She has her long blonde loose and styled over one shoulder, and is beaming as she stares off into the distance.

The former Towie star has one hand on her hip, drawing attention to her slimmed-down waist after her success at shedding the pounds.

She managed to overhaul her image by ditching takeaways and focusing on cooking healthy meals from scratch.

6

The GC previously told fans: "Ive been concentrating solely on my health recently and feel so much better because I have had TIME!!!!! Yes TIME !!! to focus on it.

"No eating out and having to cook from scratch. I do have Saturdays off to have whatever I want however use the next 3 weeks wisely, keep a positive mindset try and stick to routine in the week I find it helps."

Last year, Gemma revealed she'd gradually lost over three stone and aimed to lose a further three to bring her down to a size 16.

She put the weight loss down to beginning training for Dancing on Ice combined with a healthier diet.

6

Last week, The Sun revealed that Arg had suffered two near-fatal overdoses at home due to a crippling cocaine addiction.

Both times, Gemma was the one to call emergency services who kicked his door down and saved his life - with Arg admitting that he fears what could have happened had she not been there to help.

The 32-year-old star also admitted that he "hated" his long-term partner at the height of his addiction, and that she struggled the most out of all of his loved ones.

He said in an emotional appearance on This Morning: "I really feel for Gemma because she has had to go through so much.

6

6

"When I was deep in my addiction I would hate her.

"I would say, 'why are you telling my family, why are you telling me friends, why are you tellig the bosses of the TV shows? You're going to ruin my career.'

"But she refused to cover up for me. She refused to lie for me, she would never cover up or enable to continue in my addiction.

"She gave me some tough love for sure. She was hard on me. Thank god she was because if it wasn't for Gemma calling the ambulances to my house, who knows what could have happened.

After a ten-week stint in rehab, Arg is now five months sober and has also lost five stone.

Do you live a stressful life? Have you ever wondered how it might affect your sex drive? When you are stressed for longer periods of time, chances are your sex life will begin to fall apart. From worrying about your financial situation to deadlines at work, everyday stress can lead to a loss of sexual appetite. How stress and libido are linked? When we react to stress our bodies experience a series of changes in order to prepare us to run away or stay and fight. This natural body response is our fight or flight response. When your body enters in a fight or flight state, you will experience an increase in blood pressure, heart rate and breathing while non-essential functions like sex drive are hardly reduced. Moreover, this response is also linked to the release of hormones, such as epinephrine and cortisol, which in greater levels can dramatically decrease your sex appetite. Here are three ways stress ruins your relationship and your sex drive:

1.) The two nervous systems

As you know, we have two nervous systems. One is the sympathetic nervous system, known as the accelerator and the other the parasympathetic nervous or the brake. When we experience all sorts of difficulties and challenges throughout our lives, we use the accelerator.

But whenever challenges occur, our stress response is released in our bodies. Its physical outcomes often lead to an increase in heart rate, sweaty palms, and you start to experience intense inner distress. All these effects are just your natural body response providing you with a shot of energy to either fight or flight. Soon after you have dealt with your stress trigger, and any sort of danger has passed, the sympathetic nervous system gets cooled down by the brake or the parasympathetic system.

However, as simple as this might sound when we experience intense stress over a long period of time, it might seem like our accelerator cannot function properly anymore. We exhaust our bodies by working all the time that we do not actually allow those much-needed brakes to happen.

Here is where sexual appetite and break go hand in hand. Biologically speaking, it doesnt make sense to enjoy your partners erotic touch when your stress levels are booming. It goes without saying that stress and sex do not mix that great.

2.) Your hormones change

When youve been leaving under constant stress for more than intended, your body begins to produce more cortisol which is also known as the stress hormone. For most people with long-lasting stress symptoms, their testosterone production is decreased. Stress can also lead toerectile dysfunctionas it can interrupt how the brain sends messages to the penis to allow additional blood flow.

According to psychiatrist and clinical sexologist Haakon Aaars, stress affects testosterone which is the hormone with the highest significance to sex drive both in men and women.

3.) Absence replace closeness

Stress not only leads to a hormonal change, but also to a social, psychological and relational one. Whenever the stress hormone hits you, the absence slowly begins to replace the closeness. It gets difficult to listen, to be present and be interested in those around you when you are stressed out.

The flight or fight response can encourage you to be more aggressive toward your partner. How many times did you snap immediately after a challenging situation? This sort of situation doesnt help too much when you are seeking closeness with your loved one and believe it or not, the intimacy slowly starts to fall apart.

What can you do? Decide to put things on a table, discuss stress, try to handle stressful situations as a team and accept that your sex drive cant always be the same.

Coronavirus has put an end to the physical game events of old, meaning that Sony will showcase the PlayStation 5s software roster during a pre-recorded livestream. The manufacturer has, historically, been known for its glitzy stage shows and it wants to create the same levels of excitement next week.

Normally you would be in Los Angeles in some auditorium with 2,000 other people, boss Jim Ryan told the BBC. You'd be able to cut the adrenaline and the testosterone with a knife. We've got to find a way to do that and give the community little bit of a jolt. When you watch the show next week, I think you'll see that we've been able to do that.

He made a similar statement when speaking with Games Industry.biz: Thats the challenge I've set the teams: try to get that community, the 100 million people and all of the people who don't have a PlayStation we'd like to talk to just as excited as if they were in the E3 auditorium, or if they were watching the stream.

There were rumours that the Japanese giant had planned to host this briefing earlier in the year, but lockdown restrictions meant it wasnt able to produce it with the level of polish that it deserved. Reading between the lines of Ryans comments, hes quietly confident with what the companys concocted. Now we have to wait to see it for ourselves.

Sometimes losing weight can seem like an impossible challenge, like climbing Everest. Although, it is much easier than one thinks if you know how. Sometimes it is enough to apply a series of slight changes in our life habits to eliminate those extra kilos that accumulate in our belly. Here are five tips that may be helpful for the final push to bikini operation.

The first thing to keep in mind is that excess fat is highly damaging to the body and can lead to serious health problems such as diabetes or coronary heart disease.One of the main keys, as revealed in a report revealed by the US edition of Mens Health magazine, is exercise. They point, above all, to anaerobic exercise. The publication claims that a study by Harvard University has revealed that weight lifting is especially effective for burning fat. They claim that 20 minutes a day of weight lifting is more recommended than 20 minutes of aerobic exercise for this purpose. Although, in the text they also assure that consulted doctors advise combining both types of exercise.

In addition to the body, they also insist on the importance of working the mind. Here is a change in diet that could be vital: intermittent fasting. Do not eat food for 16 hours a day and do it for 8. They assure that this helps to lose fat. They also advise eating a more natural diet, in which vegetables and cereals predominate over processed foods.. As the article reveals, metabolism considers fat a good thing in terms of survival, so it avoids consuming it.

Another point related to the mind and that they consider very important is stress control. The publication claims that bodies burn less fat with stress and that being relaxed helps you lose weight. For this, in addition to taking the problems of day to day with philosophy, they recommend using the relaxation system 4-7-8, especially in those times when we are overwhelmed. What does it consist of? Very simple: you must take air for four seconds, hold it for seven seconds and expel it for eight. This process must be repeated several times to achieve a good level of relaxation.

The last tip is perhaps the most obvious, as it is about avoiding cravings. Especially those related to food. It is of little use to crush yourself in the gym and help if you then eat two fast food menus. By following these tips you can lose 10 kilos in a couple of months.
