The most powerful thing you can do is work on getting enough sleep and rest, and also start the day with a protein and good fat type breaky, i.e. leftover meat, or eggs, and some avocado or nuts. No carbs at breaky :) If you go through the nutrition pages on this blog and also on www.womanincredible.com you will find a LOT on how to eat for fat loss. On Woman Incredible I'm about to release a new free book 'The Truth About Female Fat Loss'. Hi Helen,

So glad I came across your website - very interesting to read about the link between high cortisol levels and belly fat. Makes a lot of sense now that I look back over my situation over the past 18months - have gone through a tumultuous and emotional family breakup and am now a single mum of 2 gorgeous kids. I have always been physically strong, active and very fit, I teach Body Pump and Pilates and for the first time in my life I have belly fat that I cannot shift. I comfort ate my way through most of last year with sugary treats every night, add high levels of stress and very little sleep to that equation and there you have an extra 4kgs of stubborn belly fat that is really getting me down!! Am now focusing on what I'm putting into my body food wise, and am trying to fit in 2 interval cardio sessions a week. Could you give me some advice on what I should be specifically eating to help kickstart my metabolism and lower those cortisol levels? Thanks for your time! Hey Kat!

And congratulations on all those wonderful changes. I'm not sure why your stomach size would not have decreased. It may be that you've shed fluid, hence the 'tighter' look. It's unlikely you've built a lot of muscle on your abs, but it's possible. I would definitely advise cardio AFTER weights, or even separately. I hope that helps! Kat Hi Kaia, great to hear from you!

I think it's the best source of information for me. I started to lift weights in May (before that I was a cardio queen as well), I've been following food plan and the results are great. Although my weight hasn't decreased that much (61 at the beginning, 58 on better days and normally around 60), i love that my body has actually started to change. I can see my abs and my butt is smaller. I have 3 weight lifting sessions during a week and 2 HIIT sessions as well. I also try to run 20 minutes on my weight lifting days and I'd like to know whether it's more effective from fat burning point of view to run before or after lifting weights. Also I measure myself on weekly basis. The size of my waist hasn't decreased for some reason although it looks better than before. Could you explain why? I'd also like to add that it's a pity that I cannot follow the food plan you've suggested because we don't have the products needed here (Estonia, Europe) Still highly motivated and excited about my "new" body, Kaia Hi Kat,

So lamb chicken and beef only? How about beef stew? I make that a lot in the winter but I guess to lose weight it's just plain meat, no marinades on the steak? I need to check out your recipes after this. Had eggs yesterday morn and steak for lunch, felt full all day and bursting with energy! Am I right in thinking bacon and sausages are off the menu?

I'd recommend eating every 3 hours ... if you're hungry every 2 hours then you may not be eating enough protein. I'd suggest including some protein of animal base plus some good fat with each meal. That plus green veg will really knock cravings on the head! Just avoid starch in the mornings to minimise cravings later. Good luck! HI Alice.
