Discovering the formula for a six-pack…
Protein & vegetables create hunger suppression and low insulin production – this means less calories & better hormone balance! Achieving balanced hormones (homeostasis) allows the body to use energy efficiently and function correctly.
Human growth hormone (HGH) is a fat burning & muscle growing hormone. Cortisol is a stress hormone. By bringing down the cortisol & raising your HGH you are increasing your chances of achieving your six-pack. So how do you do this? This is directly affected by the quality & quantity of sleep.
If you look at the physique of a sprinter compared to a marathon runner who would have more muscle? Long duration cardio increases cortisol levels while high intensity training or high intensity interval training boosts HGH and testosterone allowing more muscle growth and more fat burning.

Why do diets not work?
Hormones not calories control our metabolism. Each of us are unique and require an approach that works with your metabolism not against it!
Hunger & Cravings
Cortisol is one of the body’s main stress hormones, sending messages around the body without us being aware. Continuously secreting high amounts of Cortisol induces physiological changes. Two of these changes relate to hunger and cravings.
Excess cortisol = Hunger + Cravings for sweets and fatty foods
Hormones & Calories
When a combination of excess calories meets the hormonal influence of cortisol and insulin, stomach fat is stored.
It is a much a hormonal cause as it is a caloric one
Gain the knowledge. Apply the knowledge. Live the knowledge.
In order to be able to get the best results you can, one of the most important aspects of training is having an understanding of what, when, how and why. The more you learn about the physical, nutritional and behavioural responses or changes, the less challenging the process will be.
We all perform better when we have a better understanding.
