#967 Why Your Belly Fat Won’t Disappear....

Ben Azadi
About this episode

If you have extra fat around your belly that you just cannot seem to get rid of, I’ll be sharing with you a 7 simple step protocol that will allow you to lose stubborn fat within 14 days.


Each step is linked to the next step, so be sure to follow this protocol the way it is laid out..


No, you don’t have to suffer.

No, you don’t have to even count calories.

No, you don’t have to rely on willpower. 


In fact, this will be easy. 


Let’s start with the first step…


Step #1:


The 3 exchange diet… 


A simple 3 dietary exchange….


Exchange 1:


Remove The Following Insulin Spiking & High Plant Toxin Foods

  • Wheat
  • All grains
  • Brown rice
  • Millet
  • White Rice
  • Oats (Includes oatmeal)
  • Barley
  • Corn
  • Soy
  • Pasteurized Cow Dairy
  • Spinach
  • Kale
  • Tomato
  • Almonds & Almond flour
  • Eggplants 
  • Peanuts & Peanut butter



Replace With Following Insulin Friend & Low Plant Toxin Foods

  • Cauliflower rice
  • Squash rice
  • Cabbage rice
  • Sheep & goat dairy
  • Coconut milk (unsweetened)
  • Macadamia nut milk (unsweetened)
  • Walnuts
  • Pecans
  • Pili Nuts
  • Macadamia nuts 
  • Arugula
  • Asparagus 


Exchange 2, replace inflammatory fats with healthy fats


Remove The Following Bad Fats…

  • Canola Oil (Rapeseed oil in the UK)
  • Corn Oil 
  • Cottonseed Oil
  • Safflower Oil
  • Sunflower Oil
  • Soybean Oil
  • Rice Bran Oil
  • Refined Peanut Oil
  • Grapeseed Oil 
  • Fish Oil 

Replace With The Following Stable Fats (Saturated & Monounsaturated Fats) 


The Best Fats For Cooking at High Temps Are The Following Animal Fats:

  • Butter
  • Ghee
  • Beef Tallow
  • Duck Fat
  • Lard (non hydrogenated from pastured pigs)


The Best Fats For Salad Dressings, Drips & Low Heat Cooking Are The Following Fruit Based Fats: 

  • Coconut Oil
  • Avocado Oil
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil



The 3rd exchange is to replace sugar and artificial sweeteners with healthier choices.

Remove the following


  • Raw Sugar
  • Processed Sugar
  • Fruit Juice
  • Evaporated Cane Juice
  • Agave Nectar
  • Sucralose (Splenda)
  • Aspartame 


Replace these with the following safe and healthy sugar alternatives…


  • Stevia
  • Monk Fruit
  • Allulose
  • Xylitol
  • Erythritol 
  • Raw Honey (limited)


Step #2:  Practice this meal timing schedule to lower the fat storage hormone insulin..


You have hundreds of hormones inside your body. Hormones are chemical messengers. Some hormones activate fat burning, some hormones help with energy, some hormones help with longevity, but ONLY ONE HORMONE causes fat storage (and shuts off fat burning).
