Healthy Body - Sally Matterson
‘First and foremost, I want to educate people because I believe it will create lifelong change.’
A lot of diet and weight-loss books will tell you if you eat this and train like that you will get this result. What a lot fail to do is tell you why you are doing it.
Over years spent training clients, I have noticed that once they understand why they are doing something, they can change it for life instead of just doing it because I say so or to get a quick-fix result.
First and foremost, I want to educate people because I believe it will create lifelong change. I am not about quick fixes or fast and often dangerous approaches. I want to give sound advice based on what I know about how supplementation, training and nutrition work together to help significantly reduce body fat.
I want to give sound advice based on what I know about how supplementation, training and nutrition work together to help significantly reduce body fat.
A lot of it comes down to understanding key hormones and how they change in your body as you age, as well as the major role diet and lifestyle play in this process. To make it really simple, I focus on the four key areas in the body where fat is stored depending on possible hormonal imbalances:
jelly-belly fat (surrounding the navel)
love handles and/or back fat
pear-shaped body and/or jelly legs
bat-wing arms and/or upper chest fat (surrounding the heart).
If you tend to store body fat everywhere, I have some solutions for you, too. But first, following is a run-down on each of the body types listed above as well as the hormone responsible and a possible solution to help control further imbalances in the body.
Sal’s QUICK TIP
To a degree, our genetic make-up does dictate hormonal levels in the body, but a lot can be controlled by lifestyle and good nutrition.
JELLY-BELLY FAT
Doesn’t sound very appealing, does it! We all know what jelly belly looks, and feels, like! It is that uncomfortable fat gain predominantly around the belly-button area that doesn’t seem to affect the rest of your body, so you may still have relatively slim arms and legs.
Hormone responsible: cortisol
Cortisol is a hormone released by the cortex (the outer portion) of the adrenal gland when a person is under stress. It can be so destructive that cortisol levels are now considered a biological marker of suicide risk. Excess or continued high levels of cortisol contributes greatly to body-fat storage around the navel area.
Why does cortisol increase weight in this area?
When you are stressed, your body over-produces the hormone cortisol. As a result, your body holds on to fat. Since there are more cortisol receptors in the abdomen, when we are stressed, the body tends to hold on to fat in this
