How to BioHack your Belly Fat Beran Parry Blog Detox Effective Weight Control

Belly and/or Visceral fat is stored in the abdominal cavity – and whilst causing an irritatingly permanently pregnant looking belly, it can also increase the risk of serious health complications, such as heart attacks, heart disease, cancer, autoimmune disease and Alzheimer’s.

But never fear, help is here…Researchers have now shown how a certain eating and lifestyle plan can reduce the harmful belly fat.

In fact, there are many studies (see below)  that confirm that following an intermittent fasting plan helped to significantly reduce the pregnant looking belly and also reduce visceral fat by four to seven percent over a period of up to 24 weeks.

How do we BioHack permanent BellyFat loss?

Introducing Gen-X Bio Fasting

The main focus of biofasting is based on when you eat, and how you eat but in a new delicious way! .

It’s a brilliant strategy to sculpt your best body shape and keep your vital organs safe,

You will choose from several options to suit your lifestyle and required results! …And you will see the most incredible difference to your body shape, health, weight, mood, energy and clarity!

The Science

So how does belly and visceral fat happen? …your body sequesters fat-soluble toxicants like pesticides, heavy metals, and plastics in your fat cells.

Many toxicants are aptly called “obesogens” because they create fat cells, promoting obesity—especially in your abdomen.

This can be very dangerous to your health and also very unsightly in your clothes.

Losing weight, especially belly fat, also helps to reduce your toxic load, and this means you can reverse ageing and increase longevity!

The Detox

The problem is, belly fat (and the toxins stored within) is particularly stubborn to reduce without a detox strategy that focuses on increasing lipolysis (pronounced lie-POL-i-sis)—the breakdown of fat cells and autophagy (ah-TA-fa-gee)— a healthy cellular clean-up process that clears dysfunctional cells and makes way for new cells.

What can you do to engage lipolysis and autophagy and lose stubborn belly fat and the toxins stored within?

The short answer is break your addiction to certain types of foods and become an efficient body fat burner.

Belly Fat and your big challenge …Insulin Issues!

To lose belly fat, you have to understand belly fat. And to understand belly fat, you need to understand the basics of how insulin works.

Your body makes insulin after a meal in order to keep blood sugar stable.

As we age (and eat junk), cell-wall insulin receptors become less sensitive and so our blood becomes a toxic brew, which creates rapidly-expanding belly fat.

As if this were not bad enough, fat cells deep in your abdomen – also known as “visceral fat” – are reluctant to let go of their fat-stash.

Fortunately though, recent breakthroughs in medical and sports science (see studies below), have shown that it is possible to throw this trend into reverse: you can lose belly fat, and you can lose it fast.

To increase lipolysis and autophagy and reduce your toxic load follow three primary strategies:

1. Go Paleo/Keto— this amazing combo system gets rid of belly fat permanently … our new book, BioHack Your Belly Fat spells out exactly how to do this.
2. Practice Gen-X BioFasting for incredible health benefits like lowered insulin levels and increased lipolysis and autophagy…. more on this soon
3. Practice NEAT (Non Exercise Associated Thermogenesis) and BellySculpt Pilates..an enhanced movement system available for any fitness level

To enhance these strategies, use the following supplements

1. Bio Hemp Protein Powder… make sure it’s 50% protein… here is the best quality
2. A safe herb that helps reduce carbohydrate cravings … called meta boost … read more here
3. A natural green tea based metabolism stimulator … called BioLean … read more here

Finally, to assist your body in clearing out toxins and cellular debris, make sure you drink two liters of pure water each day and use an effective hepa detox supplement once a day 30 minutes before eating to grab and escort released toxins out of the body as you lean out.
