My Secret For Losing BELLY FAT Faster, Naturally
Losing belly fat comes down to three main things: genetics, stress and insulin resistance. There isn't much we can do about genetics, but we CAN do quite a bit about stress and insulin resistance. Let's dive into it.

[@adeleb3098]

Thanks! Simple and effective 👍

[@MoNATUREnique]

I really appreciate the information that you keep coming! I have belly fat and believe most of it was contributed to insulin resistance and stress. I ate so much cereal and brownies in 2020 and 2021 because of the stress. Since starting IF in May, I can see a decrease in belly fat and starting therapy helped with the mental stress and keeping motivated to stick to IF. I have to tone since my stomach is more round since I didn’t rebuild my core after childbirth. I’m working on that with diastasis recti workouts. Thanks for the information!!

[@aqsasultan]

Are you doing exercise along fasting?

[@karenhenry1398]

Hi Autumn, Love the illustration!! 😀. My next step is strength training.

[@AutumnBates]

You're very welcome, Karen! 💪🏻

[@allisoncarloss4055]

Thanks so much for this video! It really helped me through my belly fat struggles. I work evening shift. I always need a midnight snack. It’s hard to find a healthy snack for that time. If you have any suggestions that would be much appreciated.

[@stewved]

If you are going to be stressed, try to make it before a meal and relax and de-stress after a meal. Visceral fat is sensitive to cortisol, and will burn more or store more under stress.

Stress is just a ... it messes up everything. I'm quite a stressful person and I can honestly experience when it has taken over, I feel bloated, I get constipated and I actually feel like my weight's gone up significantly. I've had some time off these days so I take long walks outside ( around 90minutes and I keep stretching and doing bodyweight exercises ). Lately, I've also added drinking herbal teas again to my daily schedule even though it's hot where I live ( never being a fan of ice tea ). Stress management is actually why I still practice intermittent fasting :).

[@aggienatl]

I love it when you show the data from a study. 🤓🤓🤓

[@ellemalik1997]

I'd love to hear what you think of carb cycling, on workout days I think those carbs give me the energy boost I want, but I don't know if it's going to effect my weight lose, I've heard a lot of people say it works but I would love to know your thoughts about it and get the science background. Love your videos!!

[@elisearnold-levene4388]

Thank you for the shoutout to pregnancy and the postpartum period!

[@EricAdvincula]

I really enjoy the tips you give. I was wondering if you can do a video on low carb candys like Atkins. I eat one low carb candy from time to time but in the back of my mind, I'm thinking I shouldn't. I enjoy your advise and was wondering what your thoughts are on this.

Thanks for the video… Sleep is the one that’s the most difficult in the sense of getting a good nights sleep I can go to bed at the right time but at 60 I just can’t seem to sleep through the night

What do you suggest for reducing stress/cortisol for people who work night shift a few times a week? How can the stress spike be decreased with the varied sleep schedule?

[@cesarperez609]

I would watch more of your videos if there was a pause between your sentences. I do love the information and I find it very helpful. But I rarely finish watching the whole video.

I have two young kids and work full time, and I’ve found losing the belly fat after the 2nd kid so challenging. Now it all makes sense. I’m stressed at all times. I’ll have to figure this equation out!!

[@lizrock1442]

Subcutaneous fat on the belly is not subjected to the lower insulin levels. Even IF is not getting rid of the last stubborn subcutaneous fat , I had to introduce exercises to target the "female" areas, hips, upper thighs and lower belly, we'll see. Love your videos, so clear and right there with the science. Recipes too, just made your protein chia pudding!

I am 66 years old and have always been activebut my body is one big sag right now. I need help and advice because I am still rehabbing my shoulder and it;s only been 8 months since my hip replacement. What do you suggest?

[@feebeci]

What would you suggest for leg fat but a slim waist ?

[@EmilyBGates]

Watching the cup rise with water got me stressed 😂 I am sensitive to stress so this is really informative. TY Quick ?- are smoothies better to drink in the pm or better at the beginning of break fast around 11am? Trying to meal replace but not sure which one I should replace with my protein shake. Loveeee your ProPro 💕

[@celticlass8573]

I would think it matters more what is IN the smoothie, than when it is. Autumn has a smoothie often for breakfast, but she uses specific ingredients in her smoothies. I believe there is a video specifically about it. 😊

[@EmilyBGates]

[@celticlass8573]

[@AutumnBates]

SO happy you're loving my propro!🤓 I usually recommend opting for smoothies as a first or second meal option (break-fast or lunch) as they can be quite satiating and help prevent snacking throughout the day.

Heyyy HEYYY PLEASE TELL ME IF IMTERMIDIATE FASTING WILL HELP IF I DO IT FROM 3 AM TO 4PM ...(CUZ I EAT TILL 3AM XUZ WORK)

[@skinfiddler]

I've done IF for almost 18mo and have lost 40 lbs and 6in from my waist. I am however puzzled as to why my fasted glucose it consistently between 100 and 105. That is unchanged from prior to IF.

[@AutumnBates]

I would take a deeper look into what your meals consist of as well. You can also check out my carb sensitivity quiz here: www.autumnellenutrition.com/post/carb-sensitivity-quiz

[@mikefudala1997]

Hey Autmn I've got a question which is probably relatable to many others. So I am diabetic and I feel that I can do a prolonged fast, but I don't want to skip my medication for diabetes. I'm taking metformin with breakfast and dinner. So I almost force feed my breakfast some days.

[@AutumnBates]

Hi Mike! I'm not sure if you saw one of the latest videos on longer fasts but I generally don't recommend them (Especially when medications need to be taken at certain times of the day). You can find my latest video on this topic here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5-Vkpyrp52LbaM

[@maggiemaynot3399]

Hi Mike speak to your doctor. Metformin works with your food, hence why you are told to take it with or just after food, unless you are on a long acting variant or a combo of meds. You can speak to a pharmacist also for guidance. I am not directing or prescribing for you as I dont know you as an individual but it MIGHT be possible for example that if you normally take your metformin at breakfast and evening meal , then if you decide to fast until lunchtime you then dont take your metformin until lunchtime. But I cannot emphasise this enough , consult with your doctor before you do this, as your individual circumstances may prohibit this, but ask them as it may be possible. Good luck.

[@FaithandSunshine]

I work overnight 5 days a week and have small children. I don't know how to reduce that type of stress. I sleep max 6hrs a day. Trying intermittent fasting but weight won't budge. Tummy won't budge.

[@dkp2112]

The only time I haven’t been overweight was when I was a teenager and on the swim team. I don’t have time to swim two hours a day

[@jennalud4748]

If your job is stressful, or your life in general, how can you reduce it??!🤔👀

[@celticlass8573]

I can't even with the "it's calories in calories out" people, especially ones who pair that with name-calling. You can tell them it's been proven to not be true for quite a long time now (literally years), but boy do they refuse to let go! It's really quite sad, because we know they're not only not going to reach their goals in the long-term, they're also damaging their bodies which makes it even harder for them. Not to mention the unnecessary suffering. 😞

Anyone who has kids doesn’t get great sleep so let’s be a bit more realistic about what is possible and what is not!!!!

You forgot one very important factor: hormones. After menopause, when estrogen levels plummet, women start gaining belly fat that's distributed just like on men. Tell the WHOLE story here.

[@AutumnBates]

Considering insulin resistance also goes up after menopause, I've found with many of my clients that post-menopause weight gain can also be addressed with what I discussed in this video.

[@mktemple476]

@@AutumnBates -you neatly avoided the whole 'tell the whole story' issue. This isn't the first time you've omitted information. Insulin isn't a main cause of belly fat gain in post-menopausal women. Lack of estrogen is.

Ok now you are just taking the piss. Anyone with any credibility in the nutrition world knows that it is not possible to spot reduce fat.
