THE 2 5 - POI NT MEGA-EASY PLAN TO SHRI NK YOUR BELLY… FAST!
1 . NEW MI N DSET: ONE SMALL GOAL AT A TI ME.
What makes ANY task seem impossible is when it ’s v iewed as a gigant ic
m ission. So let ’s not look at t r imming belly fat as a huge mountain t o
overcome. Instead think of it this way: you’re simply going over the steps
in this guide one by one.
One step or point accomplished is a v ictory unto itself.
Well, look at that , you’ve just f inished step 1!

2 . REMOVE FOOD TEMPTATI ON.
You want t o make losing belly fat easy, not hard. To do this, t ry t o
remove as much food temptat ion as you can in your immediate
surroundings. 1 I f you want to make a ‘clean sweep’ of your cupboards,
pant ry and refr igerator, great ! I f you don’t have t ime to clear everything
out now, then don’t ; because this will just be an excuse for you to delay
things and I want you to star t . NOW.
So take a quick look. What ’s immediately facing you when you open your
refr igerator, cupboards or pant ry? I f they’re not healthy, toss them out or
at the very least put them AT THE VERY BACK so that they’ll be harder to
see… and reach.
What to throw (or donate) :
Chips, cookies, sugary oatmeal (most ly the ‘instant ’ k ind) , soda,
processed meats (cold cuts) , condiments ( mayo, ketchup, bbq sauce,
etc.) , bot t led salad dressing.
What to put at the front and within easy reach:
Fruits, vegetables, brown bread, nuts.

3 . TAKE A SELFI E.
Take a full-body picture of yourself today. Why? I t will m ot ivate you to
keep moving forward.
The fact that you’re reading this guide means you want a change, r ight?
Well, tak ing a picture of yourself now means this is it . This is Day 1. This
is the start ing line. This is your BEFORE shot . And yes, this picture will
mot ivate you to go on and reach that AFTER pic .
4 . SURROUN D YOURSELF W I TH POSI TI VE, LI KE- MI NDED AND
HEALTH- FOCUSED PEOPLE.
You don’t need naysayers. You don’t want people around you who don’t
support you – or worse – people who secret ly (sort of, k ind of) sabotage
your healthy and sexy goals. So just stay clear of these people. You don’t
need to announce or tell them what you’re doing.
SIMPLY DO WHAT YOU WANT… FOR YOURSELF!

5 . EAT “MORE” DURI NG BREAKFAST.
Yes, t hat ’s r ight ; EAT MORE. However, this t ime EAT RI GHT . No more
leftover pizzas, Chinese take-outs, and donuts. Instead, eat REAL FOOD. 2
Ensure you get some protein in there since that will curb hunger the rest
of the day.
Flat belly breakfast ideas: 1-egg breakfasts, yogurt+ ber r ies,
steel-cut oat meal 3, veg+ fruit smoothie.

w eight and be f it… click here.
6 . DON’T DRI NK YOUR CALORI ES.
A lot of people have lost a lot of weight by simply making this one
change: they stopped drink ing cola. So do just that .
I f going cold- turkey on soda is too much t o ask t hen slowly wean yourself
off it instead. For example, if you drink 5 cans of soda per day, then drink
only 4 cans tomorrow. Two days later drop that to 3 cans and so on.
Keep in m ind that there are other liquid culprits out t here too. For
example, a typical caramel frappucino can have nearly 450 calories! ! !
That ’s a serv ing of spaghet t i bolognese already.
So, determ ine your ‘liquid calorie culprit ’ and wean yourself off it .

Subst itutes? Plain or f lavored-water ( f lavored by fruits and herbs, NOT
sugar) and green tea are the best for a f lat tummy.
7 . EAT AT THE DI NI NG TABLE. 4
When you eat at the dining table you’re more m indful of what you’re
put t ing into your m outh. I n cont rast , eat ing in front of the TV makes you
less aware of just how much you’re eat ing so you tend to eat more… A
LOT MORE.
8 . EAT SLOW LY.
CHEW! Breaking down food more
thoroughly does not only help
your body absorb more nut r ient s
and energy at a faster rate, it also
means less excess bacter ia
remaining in your intest ines.
Excess bacteria in the gut = belly
bloat , and we don’t want that !

9 . BRI NG LUNCH TO W ORK. 5
I ’m very happy that here in The Netherlands (where I live! ) br inging
lunch to work is the norm . (We don’t br ing brown bags though; we use
lunch boxes just l ike our k ids.) So as we prep our k ids’ lunch in the
morning, we prep ours at the same t ime too.
Bringing lunch to work w ill not only save you m oney, it will save you A
LOT of calories too.
However, DON’T eat at your desk . Studies show that ‘desk
dining’ results in m indless eat ing and as such, you’ll always
tend to chew less and eat more.

1 0 . ADD SOMETHI NG GREEN TO EVERY MEAL.
Up your veggie intake; why? They are low in calories, yet high in f iber.
This means you’ll feel fuller longer. Further, you get TONS more nut r ient s
from vegetables than sugar- laden food. So not on ly do you LOSE
WEIGHT, you also PREVENT SICKNESS when you consume more
vegetables.
Most people don’t get around to eat ing vegetables because of
the ‘prep’ required. So, buy pre-cut salads instead. When
having a meal, simply grab a handful (or two! ) of pre-cut
produce and put it on your plate. Ext ra bonus: you get veg
variety w/ o having to buy a ton of vegetables to cut and prep!

1 1 . JUI CE UP… THE SMART W AY.
Juicing has been get t ing a bad rep lately as many say that it ’s nothing
but a liquid calorie culprit too. However, that ’s on ly t rue if you juice up
nothing but fruits. So aim for an 80/ 20 m ix, with of course 80% being
vegetables. At the very least , aim for a 50/ 50 m ix.
Juicing ideas:
- small pc. of ginger, 2 carrots, 1 orange
- handful spinach, ½ small cucumber, some frozen pineapple
- small pc. of ginger, red beet , 1 small apple
1 2 . SNACK SMARTER.
Trim ming your belly is not about deprivat ion. I t ’s about knowing how t o
eat bet ter. So by all means… take a snack; but not the sugary, but tery,
bad carbs k ind.
Great sna ck ideas: a handful of almonds, toasted whole-
wheat bread with nut but ter, Greek yogurt topped with fruits,
non- flavored popcorn, banana with almond but ter, baked
vegetable chips, a hard-boiled egg, veggies dipped in
hummus.
1 3 . MI N D THE SALT.
Salt = water retent ion.
Water retent ion = belly bloat ing.
‘Nuff said.

1 4 . TAKE A SH ORT W ALK AFTER A MEAL.
Walk ing is a highly UNDER-rated act iv ity and studies have shown that
walk ing immediately after a meal can be ext remely beneficial for weight
loss. 6 Research results vary but some studies indicate that walk ing even
just 10 m inutes after a meal can already be ext remely helpful with the
bat t le against the belly bulge.
1 5 . GROCERY SHOP AFTER LUNCH.
I f you grocery shop when you’re hungry, chances are, nearly everything
that ’s not good for you… looks darn yum my! 7 In cont rast , by creat ing a
detailed grocery list AND shopping after a meal, the bigger the chances
that you’ll st ick to your list AND buy healthy stuff.

1 6 . AVOI D CONSUMI NG PROCESSED ANYTHI NG.
Processed foods pret ty much account for around 75% of the sodium we
consume. 8 I ment ioned above that a high salt intake leads t o bloat ing so if
you want to curb your sodium intake you should really avoid anything
that ’s processed. This includes cold cuts, canned meats, and pret ty much
any ‘meal’ that comes out of a box or can.
1 7 . SW AP THI S FOR THAT.
Another small change you can make
today to blast belly fat is t o make a
few smart swaps.
Other swap ideas you can adapt quick ly:
- Regular fry ing oil -> coconut oil
- Mayo -> mashed avocado
- Mashed potatoes -> mashed caulif lower
- Deep- fry ing -> baking/ grilling
- White potatoes -> sweet potatoes

1 8 . SI T DOW N. STAND UP!
Sit t ing is the new smoking 9. Further, prolonged sit t ing is BAD for your
posture. Just think about it . All that sit t ing makes fat even more
concent rated on your belly region! In cont rast , standing improves
posture, promotes f lex ibilit y , improves mental health AND burns more
calories.
Get standing ideas.
Make it a rule to stand up during TV commercials.
Desk job? Download an app that rem inds you to stand up every
hour.
Take ‘walk ing breaks’.
Stand each t ime you’re on the phone ( that includes each t ime you
get on Facebook, Twit ter, Instagram, etc.)

1 9 . PLAN YOUR MEALS
Planning for healthy meals result s in healthy bodies. 10 There is a
m isconcept ion that meal planning (and prepping) takes an enormous
amount of t ime and effort . I , on the other hand, don’t think of it as
‘spending a lot of t ime’, I think of it as ‘get t ing r id of st ress’.
Yes, I want to get r id of the st ress involved in t ry ing to f igure out what
to eat EVERY MEAL TIME for myself and my fam ily .
This is what I do.
On a weekend night – I end up doing this most ly on Sunday nights –
after I ’ve put the k ids to bed, I grab a notebook and pen and start meal
planning for the com ing Monday-Friday. I plan for breakfast , lunch and
dinner. Since I have two k ids who go to elementary school, it ’s really
important for me t o plan our meals so that I don’t go around like a
headless chicken during the week and start grabbing unhealthy stuff.
This rout ine w ill help you save t ime during t he week and money
whenever you do grocery shopping.
PLUS, since you’re pre-planning healthy meals, you’ll drop the pounds
and shred that belly fat sooner than you think!
Need help with meal planning? Our BeFinallyFit (BFF)
program has 12-weeks of meal plans for you! We have meal
plans for every calorie set (1200, 1300, 1400, etc.), and each
set has been especially created by a certified dietician!

2 0 . DE- STRESS = DE- FLAB!
Research has shown that if you st ress out a lot , fat goes direct ly to your
belly . 11 Belly fat has 4 x more cort isol receptors (st ress-horm one
magnets) than subcutaneous fat ( the fat found j ust under t he sk in) . As
such, when you’re st ressed, fat is more likely to go st raight to your belly
than anywhere else in your body.
De-st ress by learning deep breathing techniques, tak ing yoga
and/ or meditat ion classes, going off line, or simply tak ing a
quick walk whenever you feel st ressed.
2 1 . GET ENOUGH Zzzzzz’s
Get enough sleep and you can stop increasing the circumference of your
m idsect ion. 12 Studies have shown that people who don’t sleep enough
tend to have a slow metabolism AND are inclined to eat more during the
day. That ’s a double belly fat whammy right there!
So what is ‘enough’? You should get 7 to 8 hour of sleep each night .
How?
- Don’t consume coffee or alcohol at least 3 hours before
bedt ime.
- Eat a light dinner.
- Establish a sleep rout ine.
- Make your bedroom a calm and relax ing haven.
- Lights out ! Don’t wat ch TV or grab your tablet or mobile
phone to go online just before you sleep.
