Your goal is to create an attractive, athletic hourglass shape and not a flabby pear shape. Where you lose the fat and inches gives you a good idea if you’re working with your hormones or against them:
FAT LOSS ON THE BELLY | Belly fat is usually the first to go. It’s a good sign you’re reducing sugar and starches. It also indicates less bloat (water loss) and a healthier, more regular digestion. It also indicates that cortisol (stress hormone) is getting more balanced.
FAT LOSS IN THE UPPER BODY, BUT NOT IN THE LOWER BODY | Most women lose in the upper body first. That’s quite normal. Unfortunately, the breasts are mostly fat, so get ready to lose some there. Push ups can help shape your upper body. However, if you’re only losing in the upper body and not in the lower, you’re not balancing your hormones properly. I see this change in most women who do Weight Watchers.
UPPER + LOWER BODY FAT LOSS | If you’re losing fat on the thighs, butt and hips, then you’re right on the money. In order for your lower body fat cells to give up body fat, a few things have to happen: 1) low estrogen levels - the week before and week of your period is the best time to boost lower body fat loss 2) low insulin ( from low sugar, starch and dairy intake) 3) low cortisol (low stress levels.
If all three are met, your lazy lower body fat cells will open up and release the stored body fat.
YOU DESERVE BETTER
​
When you spend time ruminating about the fact that you don’t have energy, don’t feel good in your clothes, don’t like to socialize or date because you feel uncomfortable or experience health issues because you’ve neglected yourself, I want you to know you deserve better.

FAT LOSS IN THE FACE | Another place where most people notice fat loss first. Get ready to hear the comments of friends: You’re looking so gaunt. Are you on a diet? It’s the most obvious giveaway that fat loss is happening.
FAT LOSS ON THE UNDERARMS, BACK OF SHOULDERS (‘bra fat’), SPARE TIRE AROUND THE BACK, and ‘BUBBLE BUTT’ | These fat storage areas are the areas most pronounced in women with a stressed out metabolism. Once you see fat drop from these areas, you can be sure your stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol are normalizing. Chances are your workouts are metabolically appropriate, you get adequate recovery time and sleep, and your nutrition is working wonders.
INNER THIGHS + CALVES | These are the areas in which you see changes last as they are the most resistant. Once you’re down to a certain low body fat percentage, you will start to see the last bit of body fat disappear from these ‘trouble zones’.

MY SLIM & STRONG WORKOUTS ACTIVATE
HORMONES THAT give you an athlete's body
​​
ADRENALINE | Ensures you burn the fat underneath your skin. it's released only for a short period because the walking afterward drops the release. Long-term adrenaline surges can result in fat storage and exhaustion, so walking afterwards and rest days are key in the right dosage.
​
GROWTH HORMONE | It’s released with strength training and bursts of high intensity that breaks through your cardio threshold. Growth hormone is essential for getting you leaner, boosts muscle growth and recovery and keeps you young. It declines as you get older and is released during sleep.
​
INSULIN | Your sensitivity to insulin improves with our workouts, meaning if you eat carbs, your cells can utilize them better and normalize your blood sugar. It’s a hugely important factor for your longevity. High insulin levels are associated with metabolic issues, pre-diabetes and diabetes, aging, inflammation, weight gain, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and immune system issues.
​
CORTISOL | Short bursts of high intensity (HIIT) result in a short-term cortisol release, which helps your fat cells release body fat into your blood stream. Long-term cortisol surges can result in belly fat storage and muscle loss.
​
NITRIC OXIDE | This substance makes your blood vessels slightly bigger so that nutrients and blood can get to the muscles to keep them working hard.
​
EPOC | This acronym stands for excess post-oxygen-consumption. It explains the amount of oxygen your body uses up after an intense workout. You may be burning an extra 20-30% of the calories burned during the workout. Increase EPOC by working your muscles to the point of burning, failure, heat production and until you're out of breath.
