The best diet to lose belly fat is not a "diet", not in the sense most people use dieting. But there is a way to eat that is right to improves body composition (lose fat and build muscle) and burn belly fat.
In fact, if you cut calories, eliminate food groups and go on a weight loss program with complicated macros, this could completely back fire and make it more difficult to lose weight and keep it off.
In this episode I share the science of calories for weight loss and give you the principles to know exactly how much you should be eating.
This is called a calorie deficit: eat less than your body burn so that your body can use fat for fuel. 
But there is something that matters even more for weight loss and losing belly fat, yet most people do not even consider it at all. 
What matters more is WHEN you eat.
In this episode you will learn:
- What is your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) 
- What is Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)
- Why WHEN to eat needs to be part of your plan if you want to lose belly fat
- When should you eat for weight loss and belly fat loss
 
And friend, if you want to know what is the best way to schedule your meals for belly fat loss, I invite you to come to my live FREE workshop on Thursday, September 17th. 
In the workshop you will get exactly when to eat. I will help you with 3 simple tools that will make healthy eating consistently effortless.
Because your nutrition IS the missing piece for you to see results.

Ever wonder what to eat and what not to eat to lose belly fat? 
Hey, I do not advocate for a diet or believe that dieting is the best way to lose weight. 
But it is clear that people who successfully lose weight and keep it off, do it through diet more than exercise.
And there is definitely a way to eat that is right when you work on improving body composition (losing fat and building muscle), including getting rid of visceral fat. 
So in this episode I share with you what to eat and what not to eat to burn belly fat and get the results you want on your waistline. 
I share very specific examples of foods to add to your diet, or to avoid, in order to control and reduce belly visceral fat. 
Here is the evidence-based diet to lose belly fat:
High protein
High polyphenol
Fermented food
Low-to-no processed carbs
No alcohol
Avoid processed foods

When it comes to eating well, eating enough protein and fibers to lose weight or stay healthy, the key is consistency. 
Eating nutritious foods daily. 
For people in their 40s, with a busy life, juggling carreer, family and health, this takes intentional effort. 
The proper tools - like those I am giving away in the Consistent Healthy Eating Workshop on September 17th - can help us make consistent healthy eating easier.
But sometimes, what comes in the way of consistency is our mindsets:our beliefs or perception of ourselves. 
Today I share 3 ways mindsets keep us stuck in cycles of starting over, good days and bad days with foods and even going from extreme dieting to very unhealthy choices for our bodies.
And in this episode, you will also get the reframes for these mindsets.
Not because you have to follow a strict diet.Not because you should eat clean 100% of the time. Not because you have to stick to a complicated mealplan.But because you deserve to give yourself the gift or nutritious, nutrient-dense foods that fuel your body and lead to losing fat while holding on or building muscle. 
Because your body will not start changing until you become consistent at giving it what it needs to feel safe, let go of belly fat and build up strength. 
With consistency in healthy meals, a high-protein, high-fiber diet, you can finally trim down and get toned.
Today we look at the beliefs and ways to look at yourself that can be why you can't seem to be consistent with healthy habits and healthy eating.
 
In my FREE live workshop on Thursday, September 17th, I will share tools to make consistent healthy eating effortless for busy moms in their 40s who want to lose belly fat:- a simple structure for your meals - one sustainable habit to become dangerously consistent - exactly what to eat to lose belly fat and build muscle- DOOR PRIZES: I have 2 gifts that will help you stay consistent

I know what it’s like when you feel called by the pantry.
The moment you stare inside your fridge for that little something sweet you are craving, the moment you can’t sit on your couch any longer because you are bored and feel an itch that needs to get scratched.
So you get up and go find the bag of chips that has been calling your name or the sweet treat you told yourself you’re not going to have because you shouldn’t have so many.
And I know that every time the food craving overrides your intentions, it makes you feel weak.
The answer my friend is not mustering more willpower.
You are not lacking in discipline.
What you are missing are SYSTEMS:
Solutions focused on redesigning the setup and environment so good habits happen naturally.
In this episode, we talk about those systems and healthy ways to respond to the cravings, so you stay in control and on track with losing belly fat.
But also so that you give yourself what you need in the moment,
And see that you are strong!
 
This episode gives you tools so cravings won’t derail you from eating highly nutritious foods, healthy foods, CONSISTENTLY and so you can progress on your body recomposition.
 
And in the live FREE workshop I have on Thursday, September 17th, I will give you 3 simple tools that make Consistent healthy eating effortless.

Do you have strong sugar cravings in the afternoon? Days when you can't get enough carbs?Do you want to eat whether happy or sad?
There is often a physiological explanation for your cravings.
Understanding what is going on with your body will not only give you an appropriate way to deal with the cravings,
It is also my goal to help you see that the problem is not YOUR lack of willpower, YOU being weak or YOUR inability to stick to healthy eating
It is in fact, a signal, a message your body is sending you.
I share 5 of these messages with you today. Which one is your body sending YOU?
Once you learn how to decode it, it will become easier for you to prevent the craving or respond to it in a way that does not create shame, but that truly supports you, your needs and your goals so you can stay consistent with healthy eating, lose weight and lose belly fat.
In the free live workshop I have coming on September 17th, I will share with you a simple structure for your healthy meals that will curb your cravings and help you be more consistent with healthy eating, together with one sustainable habit and food ideas so you know exactly what to eat.
Come to the Consistent Healthy Eating to make it effortless.

You think you need more willpower, time, discipline, but they're finite resources. 
And when you feel like you can't white knuckle your way to resist the chocolate bar as a way to "treat" yourself, or the drink to relax out of your working day, 
YOU are not failing.
Instead of more discipline, you may in fact need stronger boundaries
Boundaries are not something you have to keep choosing. You set them once, and they hold the line for you.
Today we're talking about why boundaries — not shame-driven willpower — are the real lever for your health.
And I'll walk through exactly what that looks like with alcohol, food, and work.
Not sure where you need boundaries, or what they can look like?
