Page 27 - LeanBelly 3X (Shaun Hadsall) : Flip It & Read It

In fact, my entire identity as a êtness and nutrition expert was turned upside
down after reading it…

You see...

All the years of stress, the processed foods, the sugar, and toxins leading to
weight-gain trigger your body to release an enzyme that is responsible for the
rapid storage of this dangerous belly fat...

As found in 7 out of 10 Americans.

It's called lipoprotein-lipase, or LPL for short, and it's now known as the "obesity
enzyme" because it sits on the surface of your cells and pushes fat molecules into
fatty tissue for storage.
And since LPL is produced by stored body

fat, every pound you gain after age 40

makes your body release more and more

of this fat-storing enzyme.

So the heavier you become, the more LPL your body produces.

This is what happened to Karen and it's one of the leading causes of the obesity
epidemic today.

When you were younger and lighter on the scales, levels of LPL were naturally
lower, so your body automatically sent fat to active tissue to burn it for energy.

That's the reason it was so much easier to keep the weight oé in your 20s and
30s.

I'm sure you can remember.

Which is precisely why it doesn't matter how much discipline or willpower you
have after you turn 40 years old…
