"Different areas of fat correspond to different
hormones. A high proportion of belly fat indicates high
levels of the stress hormone cortisol – it could be down
to a food intolerance, over-training, dehydration or
lack of sleep. " are the words of Alexa Towersey, an
accomplished Pilates expert. To learn more check out the

 Get
a food intolerance test done, as just because a food is
"healthy" doesn't mean it is healthy for you. The test
is a blood test similar to the one used to diagnose
classic food allergies, but instead of screening for IgE
antibodies, it looks for a different class of antibody
called IgG. If you have high levels of IgG antibodies to
corn, for example, this indicates a corn intolerance.
The next step is to eliminate the food from your diet
and wait for your symptoms—and your spare tire—to
magically disappear.

Never Give Up
 Every
person in life has a dream, a goal, a wish. They are the
ones which make us do what we are doing. We have to
fight for what we believe in, what we feel. In other
case, you will simply brake. Once - and for all. As
thought you were never there. The easiest way is to quit
everything and not go until the end, because the path is
difficult and we are not used to inconveniences. We want
everything to be easy and at once. But the wishes are
fleeting! This is how our dream dies, and the goal
becomes unreachable. Gradually, life becomes a routine
without depth and meaning.
Then we try to forget and start everything from the
beginning, we wait for a new day to make our life
different. But new obstacles come in our way, and we
stop again. We become full of despair and anger for our
own impotence… But you only need to remember one thing:
never give up, fight, battle.
It doesn’t matter that you have lost one battle and even
dozens of battles. Life goes on! Your biggest enemies
are hiding in you – laziness, fear, doubt, indecision.
Be a warrior of your dream, a knight of your goal and a
soldier of your wishes.
