You won’t lose belly fat until you do these 5 steps with Dr Sten Ekberg. Head to https://boncharge.com/theprimal and use code THEPRIMAL for 15% off.
It turns out that belly fat is not a sign that you lack willpower. It is a sign that your stress levels and insulin are out of balance. I sat down with holistic doctor Sten Ekberg to explain why standard calorie counting fails and how to fix your metabolism for good. If you want to lose belly fat without feeling hungry all day, this conversation is for you.
In this episode, we reveal:
* Insulin Resistance: Why high stress and rising insulin force your body to store stubborn fat around your stomach.
* Sugar Cravings: How blood sugar crashes trick your brain into wanting food even when you are full.
* The Calorie Trap: Why eating less and doing endless cardio just slows down your metabolism and causes belly fat and visceral fat.
* Smart Fasting: How simple meal timing lowers your insulin levels so your body can burn stored fat for energy.
* Metabolic Reset: Practical ways to fix your health so you can lose the weight and keep it off naturally without suffering.
