Reducing Belly Fat

 The real secret to reducing stubborn lower belly fat is managing insulin levels—especially avoiding unnecessary insulin spikes. Many people don’t realize that protein alone can trigger a significant insulin response, even without carbohydrates. This is why simply relying on gluconeogenesis (the process where the body converts protein to glucose) may not be the most effective strategy for fat loss, particularly in the lower abdominal area.

Staying in a deep state of ketosis by minimizing insulin spikes is key. One effective approach is to slightly reduce protein intake and increase healthy fats. For instance, instead of eating six eggs, try eating two or three and add butter or extra virgin olive oil to compensate for calories. This helps promote fat as your primary fuel source while keeping insulin levels low.

Additionally, nutritional adequacy plays a vital role. Deficiencies can stall fat loss and damage metabolic health. Incorporating nutrient-dense foods like beef liver—rich in bioavailable vitamins A, B12, iron, and more—can be life-saving for many. High-quality sardines are another powerhouse, offering omega-3s, calcium, selenium, and coenzyme Q10.

By optimizing your fat intake, managing insulin, and covering essential micronutrient needs daily, you’ll support a more efficient and sustainable fat-burning metabolism.
