Why does it feel like body fat just goes straight to the lower belly? Like, why can't just a tiny bit go to the booty?? Well, I'm about to drop some knowledge on ya! It's not just what you eat that affects those levels of fat, it's also the amount of sleep you get AND how stressed you are feeling. Lack of sleep and stress can increase your cortisol hormone levels and oddly, that can contribute to an increase in lower belly fat. These five lower ab exercises are JUST what you need if you want to attack the lower belly pooch area (plus more sleep and less stress)!!

I did an experiment and wanted to see what would happen if I didn’t eat any solid food for 3 days. I put myself on a 3 day juice cleanse. Yup. Never thought I’d be saying that.

Unfortunately, I got so bloated and started breaking out like crazy. My body was NOT happy. So, here’s a vlog about my entire juice cleanse experience using Pressed Juicery.
