We’re 21 days into the busiest fitness month of the year. Where do you stand with your fitness and fat loss results?

Are you seeing any changes?

Or are you still twiddling your thumbs trying to figure out what next tip or fad you need to implement as a desperate measure?

To be honest with you fat loss is really simple (in concept), but the problem is most people can’t even stick to the basics. Many are too impatient that if they don’t see results they ditch last week’s plan and try to implement a new plan for the following week.

Stop the madness and just stick to a well structured plan! Consistency is key, and every plan works, however it doesn’t work forever (but that’s another post).

Ok, so here are three simple tips to follow for the next 21 days – CONSISTENTLY – to help jump start losing stubborn belly fat.

Tip #1: Cut Out All Sugar and Processed Carbs
This is a tip that has been repeated ad nauseum, but it’s one of the most important ones especially with the typical American diet. Americans ingest too many sugars and processed carbs wreaking havoc on their metabolism.

Sugars and processed carbs rapidly increases and decreases your blood sugar levels, which in turn signals your body to store more fat and slows down your metabolism.

Work on replacing all sugars and processed carbs with lots of veggies and fruits, and I promise after 21 days you’ll notice a major difference just from this tip alone.

Tip #2: Increase Your Intake of Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s)
I’m talking about essential fatty acids from fish oils and krill oil.

Here’s some good news.

*University of Georgia researchers have found that essential fatty acid supplements containing DHA helps STOP the conversion of pre-fat cells into fat cells by causing them to die out before they can mature.

When a pre-fat cell becomes a fat cell there’s no turning back. Unfortunately, you have that fat cell for life. Well the Georgia study demonstrated the reduction of accumulation of body fat by taking an essential fatty acid supplement containing DHA!

But that’s not the only benefit.

According to studies** done at the University of South Australia people that combined exercise with EFA supplements containing DHA saw greater fat loss than the test group that only exercised and did not take the supplement.

These are encouraging findings.

You can find any Krill Oil EFA supplement at our local nutrition store. I prefer the ones from Dr. Mercola and Prograde Nutrition.

Tip #3: Use Metabolic Complexes
A metabolic complex is a giant-set combination of exercises in which you would use a barbell or dumbbell, perform several reps of an exercise, then without rest move right into another exercise, then another, and another, and so forth until you complete your list of exercises (usually 4-6 exercises on average).

I love complexes because they increase your body’s ability to burn fat (creating a furnace like effect), it improves your muscular and strength endurance, and overall conditioning in a shorter amount of time.

Here’s a video example:

Keep it simple, implement these 3 simple strategies and you’ll jump start or re-start your way to a leaner, and fitter body.

If you want more tips like these just leave me a topic you’d like me to address in the comments section, I’m more than happy to help

Now get at it and kill some fat cells!
