Why You Have A Fat Ass And What To Do About It!
Apologies for the bluntness of the title but I wanted to get your full attention.
So you’ve tried quite literally everything to get rid of it but nothing seems to shift that stubborn body fat from around your buttocks and thighs. Frustrating isn’t it especially when you eat healthily and always perform squats and lunges in your workouts. You’d think this would be enough to keep your butt in check wouldn’t you? I guess you’ve just put it down to genetics right? Well sadly it’s not. In this article I am going to address the reason why you have fat in this area and what to do about it, and to be honest it’s really easy to get rid of! (And no, it’s not doing MORE butt work in your training plan).
I must stress again though that this information does not apply to you if you are overweight. A normal Elimination Diet plan alone will see great fat loss results for you. This is for those of you that are generally already lean but have stubborn body fat and cellulite around the buttocks and thigh area.
Ok so what causes leg, arm & bum fat?
Any kind of stubborn leg, bum or arm fat can be put down to poor liver function. Your liver is struggling to detox estrogen properly and the fat cells from this part of your body have become more receptive to the hormone estrogen (hence why there’s more fat in this area).
Here’s how it works:
Your liver produces a hormone called “Sex hormone binding globulin” (yep, bit of a mouthful!) which is basically released into your system to help clear out any excess estrogen from your bloodstream. The liver is also responsible for removing toxins and chemicals from our diet but what happens is, that when we overwhelm our liver with toxins from things like sugar, wheat, dairy, processed food and alcohol, the liver can’t do its main job, it spends ALL its time dealing with all the toxins and chemicals and therefore can’t produce optimum levels of “sex hormone binding globulin” anymore.
With nothing to effectively ‘clean up’ the excess estrogen, your body has no choice but to dump it into your fat cells and the bad news for you woman is that you unfortunately store more fat in the lower body than men do.
So now that we understand what’s causing you to have a fat butt, legs or arms, or maybe it’s a combination of all 3 let’s talk about how we can sort it:
1) Start a toxic removal diet plan
The first thing you’ll need to do is start a 21 day toxic removal plan to allow the liver time to detox all the toxins and chemicals from your diet. All wheat, dairy, sugar, alcohol, caffeine and processed food will need to be removed and you’ll need to drink plenty of fresh clean water to help flush out the toxins quicker. Regular saunas will speed this process up as well. The detox will help your liver go back to doing its original job (which is to produce sex hormone binding globulin).
Eating plenty of cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, kale & cabbage will help to detox your estrogen more effectively. All these vegetables basically have high levels of indole 3-carbinol in them. Estrogen binds with these foods and is then excreted out of your system.
2) Supplement with indole 3-carbinol
The problem with trying to get the right amount of indole 3-carbinol JUST from food is that you’d have to eat a HUGE amount of vegetables just to get the required amount for it be to be effective, which is impossible.
Supplementing with indole 3-carbinol can be considered if you want to detox estrogen more effectively although your diet needs to be 100% nailed if you want to see results. Remember, you can’t out supplement a bad diet, you need to remove toxins first before you start supplementing with this. If you can’t clean up your diet first then this won’t work.
Depends on how badly you want to get rid of that stubborn leg & bum fat I guess? If you’re 100% committed to getting rid of it then this is how it’s gotta be for you.
3)Get a good night’s sleep
Getting a good night’s sleep between the hours of 10 and 6 will help repair your body but more importantly will help balance out your hormones so that you’re not so “estrogen dominant”. Get to bed by 10:30pm and get at least 8 hours sleep.
So there you have it, getting rid of that stubborn leg & bum fat is EASY, it just depends on how badly you want it. If you’re truly serious about it then follow the 3-step plan above to the letter and you will be well on your way to some sexy thighs and a pert ass! Bu only if you’re 100% committed. So what’s it to be?
Fat ass or pert ass? You decideeeeeeeee
Here’s to a fat free zone,

Why You have Man Boobs And What To Do About it! (please don't read if easily offended!)
If you're a guy and have man boobs then you seriously need to man the hell up and read this blog before its too late for you! I'm deadly serious aswell!
(Girls you can also forward this onto your male buddies aswell!)
Read this and act NOW before its too late but Im just pre-warning again, please don't read if your easily offended)
So you've been trying to ignore it for a while now but it seems that your man boobs or "bitch tits" are slowly starting to get bigger? At first you ignored it but it seems that you're producing a pair of boobs that your missus and most chicks would be proud of!
But you can't understand it? You eat well, you train hard in the gym, you do extra press ups and bench press but they still seem to be there?
Well, sadly man boobs have nothing to do with a lack of exercise or poor nutrition but more to do with the fact that your male hormone testosterone is getting its assed kicked by the female hormone estrogen!
Yep, you're turning into a chick and soon you'll be having an overwhelming urge to buy shoes and go shopping! You may have also started to have "strange" thoughts about your best friend! How do you feel about that? ;-)
So why is your female hormone dominating your male hormone?
Regular beer drinking will give you man boobs. Your testosterone is being converted into estrogen so the more you drink the higher your estrogen levels will be.
The hops in beer are amazingly estrogenic aswell so regular drinking will have a womanizing effect.
Still fancy a beer?
I was reading some staggering research only the other day about the amount of dudes turning to cosmetic surgery to remove their moobs and I was disgusted at the male species!!!
Not because of the high stats but more because of the fact that dudes would rather go under the knife than sort them out through diet and lifetyle?
MAN THE HELL UP!!!
Another sign that you're turning into a chick!
What's also worrying is that skinny dudes are now starting to get bitch tits, whats all that about?
I fear for the male species I really do!
So how can you sort out your embaressing problem?
Basically, you need to manage your hormones better princess and do the exact opposite to what's currently going on in that "male" body of yours so you need to increase your testosterone levels and decrease your estrogen.
Firstly STOP DRINKING!
Pretty obvious this one but having written this article, I'll STILL be getting emails from dudes asking if its still ok to have a few drinks at the weekend!
Most alcohol is sugar in its simplest form so not only will you be making your tits bigger but you'll also be working on your love handle fat which is directly correlated to your your carb intake. ALL alcoholic beverages are disgustingly high on the glycaemic index which means the body will deal with it just like any other carb thats high in glycaemic load - AND STORE IT AROUND THE LOVE HANDLE AREA!
Oh and by the way, when you drink you PHYSICALLY CANNOT burn bodyfat for 3 days afterwards did you know that? When you drink, the alchol is converted into a substance called acetate and your body will use acetate for fuel instead of fat so the bigger your piss up the more you'll be using acetate for fuel. So all those muppets that think "they'll work off their hangover with a good session" the following morning aren't actually burning fat and won't be for quite some time after!
Not good huh!
Secondly, you need to clean up your diet and supplement with zinc as zinc has been shown to increase testosterone levels. Most guys are deficient in zinc so supplementing with it for a while will help to melt the moobs!
Organic nuts & seeds will also restore natural zinc levels.
Eating fibre like milled flax seed and plenty of cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli, cauliflower, kurly kale, white cabbage & water cress) will help to bind to estrogen and will help with the removal of it via excretion.
Thirdly, start doing intense weight training
Intense weight training will help to jack testosterone levels. Keep the workouts REALLY short (no longer than 30-45 mins but work HARDDD!!!) and steer clear of very long runs as these will increase cortisol levels and LOWER testosterone! EXACTLY what you DON'T want!
And thats it!
Its time to take action guys, man up and start managing your hormones better or I'll soon be asking you out on a date sexy!
Peace out ;-)

Why I Won't Drink Tap Water!
Are you one of these people that are led to believe that our tap water is safe to drink? It's clean, refreshing and healthy right? Of course it is, after all, if it was dangerous or deemed "unsafe for human consumption" then the goverment would intervene wouldn't it?
Or would it?
I too thought exactly like this but having recently researched this controversial topic extensively, I've been alarmed at our tap water content here in the UK.
The practice of making our water "safe" to drink actually involves adding a huge amount of highly poisenous chemicals to it and there is growing research now that these chemicals are the cause of major health disorders.
Below are just a few of the chemicals found in our water although this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to drinking water contaminents:
Chlorine - Liquified chlorine is added to water to help kill off bacteria and micro-organisms. It acts as a disinfectant however Chlorine is highly poisenous to the human body (particularly when injested over a long period of time) and can cause serious cell damage. In one research study on rats, chlorine was added to their water supply and as a result the rats developed tumours in the liver, kidneys and intestines. Despite chlorine being a leading cause of bladder & rectal cancer and asthma, the government continue to treat our water with it.
Flouride - Adding flouride to water was a government scheme set up in the 1940's. Nothing to do with killing off bacteria but to actually help prevent tooth decay. Yep, it was the governments genius idea to solve the problem of tooth decay on mass by adding it to our water supply however there is no data to support its effectiveness in the fight against tooth decay.
FUNNY THAT! Proper Diet is ALL thats needed to prevent tooth decay?!!!?
Only 10% of the UK's water supply is flouridated (mainly the west midlands and north-east) despite the growing evidence and research that the science behind this mass medication programme is highly controversial to say the least!
The current water companies that flouridate their supply are:
Anglian Water Services Ltd
Northumbrian Water Ltd
South Staffordshire Water plc
Severn Trent plc
United Utilities
There is now growing evidence linking flouride to a whole host of health disorders.
Its actually proving very difficult to explain the terrible long term effects flouride has on the body in this short blog so take a look at this BAD ASS report by The National Health & Resource Center over at http://www.all-natural.com/fleffect.html
I was dumbfounded when I first read this especially the fact about 'fluoride being added to the drinking water of prisoners to keep them docile and inhibit questioning of authority, both in Nazi prison camps in World War II and in the Soviet gulags in Siberia.'
Flouridisation has now been banned in all other European Countries by the way!
Lead - As well as all these toxic contaminents, water HAS to pass through lead pipes. The problem with this is that these pipes are often very old and rusty and date back to the victorian age so by the time your water gets to you, its likely that its picked up a load of lead along the way. Injestion of lead is particularly harmful to children and can result in learning difficulties.
Bacteria That survives the treatment - Giardia and Cryptosporidium are bacteria that can survive the chlorine treatment and have been a thorn in the water supplys backside for well over a decade now. These little super bugs have become resistant to chlorine and can lead to widespread outbreak of gastrointestinal disease.
OK, so how do you protect yourselves from all these chemicals in your water?
Its clear that tap water is not safe for drinking consumptiom and bottled water isn't much better either due to the xenoestrogens(although I still think its a better choice than slugging back 3 litres of tap water a day! Evian is the best and once youve used a bottle once just chuck it away. Don't keep refilling it!)
Home water filtration is most probably your best bet. This will help to remove contaminents used during the treatment of tap water.
Ive been a bottle & tap drinker for several years now although knowing what I know now, I shall definitely be looking to move towards home water filtration this year!
(Oh by the way those BRITA filters are crap? Don't be a tramp and get a proper one!)
I hope this article has lifted the lid somewhat on the dangers of drinking tap water and I hope it has given you some clarity on a somewhat controversial topic!
Take control of your own health because the water companies and government sure as hell won't, I promise you that!
Here's to a toxic-free summer!
Peace out :-)
