How intermittent fasting could be causing your stubborn belly fat

Healthy breakfast with poached eggs, salmon, and arugula

Hi Reader

My family call me egg-obsessed. 🍳

A title I am proudly wearing.
I have been so committed to a nutrient-dense diet and fuelling my body for maximum energy and πŸ”₯ metabolism for so long that...

Yes, it's a crisis for me if we ran out of eggs.

What do you eat for breakfast to get to the goldilock 40 grams of protein if eggs are not part of it?

Oh... You didn't know?

Your cravings,
Your energy crashes,
Your feeling sluggish after lunch,
And even possibly your stubborn belly fat,

Can all be explained by your years of intermittent fasting.

If you are you a working mom in her 40s who is too busy to have breakfast,
but seeing your belly is bothering you;

Or you are a busy dad who skips breakfast because you put work before taking care of yourself
and you find that fat in your gut area is really stubborn:

➑️ then you really need to be listening to this week's episode of the 40s Fitness Reset.

Why?

Because this way of practicing intermittent fasting for years - skipping breakfast - may not be as healthy as we thought.

In this episode, I am breaking down the research for you and sharing the evidence for the fact that the way you have been doing intermittent fasting could very well be causing belly fat.

Ok, association is not causation. So maybe not causing.

But here are the truth bombs that explain how skipping breakfast may be contributing to belly fat.​

​
You will hear about the science of how intermittent fasting by skipping breakfast is:
- Causing a misalignment with your circadian rhythm
- Driving insulin resistance
- Directly linked to storing fat in your belly
- Causing chronically elevated cortisol
- Crashing your metabolism

If you have been struggling with belly fat and feel like you're doing all the right things but still not seeing a result, it's time you stop trying to do this on your own, and get some help from someone who can help you do what actually moves the needle.
