If you want a six-pack and reduce fat avoid sugar!
Anything containing sugar needs to be avoided, it is highly addictive and highly detrimental to health and fat loss goals. It is important to teach yourself to become a sugar detective by knowing how to read food labels.
Some foods will have half a dozen different types of sugar in the ingredients to help disguise the content; look out for words listed on the label ending in “ose” this means it is sugar, examples are sucrose, maltose, dextrose, fructose, glucose and so on.
Beware of so-called healthy drinks that are hyped up to make them look natural and good for you; they are still sugar, natural sugar on a label means it is still sugar and doesn’t make it any better.
People typically start their day with store bought fruit juices that are high in sugar, they have very little health benefits linked to them because they have been pasteurised. Even if you drink freshly squeezed fruit it is still a high sugar drink, if you want to lose weight you could be making it very difficult for yourself because of the blood sugar response and the release of fat storing hormones associated with consuming sugar. All types of carbohydrate foods once eaten are sugar in the body. Carbohydrate rich foods are mainly non-animal foods.
Excess sugar consumption will eventually affect every organ in the body; it creates an acidic environment within the body and minerals from teeth and bones are used to rectify the imbalance. Long-term abuse leads to decay and weakening of teeth and bones because of all the calcium being taken out of them to protect the blood from the acid state.
If you want a six-pack and reduce fat avoid sugar especially artificial sweeteners found in processed foods and drinks. Always check the labels. Eating sugar creates a never-ending roller coaster ride for hormones such as insulin and cortisol, both fat storing hormones. To help wean off sugar try natural alternatives like stevia, a natural herb you can find in health food shops.
One type of food that people could greatly benefit from not eating is breakfast cereal, the run of the mill breakfast cereals are not health foods. When you take a closer look and see what they consist of a full picture emerges. Most cereals are processed junk food covered in nothing but sugar. If you want six pack abs avoid processed carbohydrates. Eating non-animal foods you find in nature and not those that have been processed will help you reduce fat fast. But don’t forget to include protein foods with every meal.
If you want a six-pack and reduce fat avoid sugar!

The Quickest Way to Get a Six Pack – Find Out What to Avoid at the Gym
What works best and how much needs to be done to achieve a six pack?
I get endless amounts of questions from people asking me what type of workout works best and how much needs to be done to achieve fat loss. Lets face it, most gym members participate in unproductive exercise programmes that they endlessly seem to do year after year without achieving results. They hope of waking one day with the body of their dreams. They put their heart and soul into the same programme without ever changing it one iota. The absence of learning or trying different training principles will never work in the long run. Also copying what the latest celebrity is doing or puts their name to won’t work either.
The most common myth that never dies is that lengthy cardio training will shift unwanted body fat. I have years of experience witnessing the lack of results people achieve doing such workouts. I also have dozens of opinions through research and personal experience to back it up. People often turn to me for advice after wasting years doing similar programmes. If you go into any gym in the world you are guaranteed to see members beating themselves up on the cardio equipment, now if you were to go back a year later you would likely see the same members on the same machines doing the same workout with still the same body shape. But this time they will look even more tired and stressed if they haven’t already quit through a lack of results.
People don't understand that exercise is a stress to the body and doing more exercise than the body can cope with breaks the body down together with health. The body needs to be in a stress free state to build muscle or lose body fat effectively. There isn’t any relationship between training duration and achieving results. The type of exercises you perform and the intensity of the workout will also determine if you get results or not.
The advantage of resistance training for fat loss over traditional cardio training out weighs the other by far. Done a certain way resistance training will create a cardiovascular response, killing two birds with one stone and saving heaps of time. One of the numerous benefits includes the functional benefit, which has a carry over effect to daily living and most sports. More importantly it will shape the body making it more aesthetically pleasing at the same time as building lean muscle tissue and strength.
Traditional cardio exercises don’t have enough resistance to create an increase in lean muscle. Anything that increases lean muscle tissue is good news for both men and women; more muscle means a faster metabolism and a lower body fat percentage. You can get very strong and lean without looking like a bodybuilder. One more thing worth mentioning is that resistance training will elevate the metabolism for longer after a workout compared to traditional cardio exercise.
Workouts should be intense and short; whatever method you use it should keep your heart rate elevated and breathing increased whilst resting between exercises or circuits. Workouts should also be structured and directed towards your goals. Neglecting rest outside the gym can have a negative side effect to fat loss too. It is just as important as the workout in order to progress and reach your goal. Rushing around stressed all day will do you no good especially if you are training the same day. How can you train hard if your body hasn’t rested from the last workout or your mind is focused on stressful issues?
Finally don’t reward workouts with a treat, could you imagine giving a recovering alcoholic a bar job and paying them with free drinks from behind the bar, it wouldn’t work, neither does eating junk food after a workout for someone on a fat loss programme. Exercise doesn’t turn bad calories into good calories. The body needs the best nutrition at frequent times throughout the day for optimum fat loss. Yes there is room for a cheat here and there even if you do want to look your best, but going for a pizza on the way home from the gym is a recipe for getting nowhere.

How to Burn Fat at Home – Save Time by Not Going to the Gym
How to get a six-pack without breaking your favourite lifestyle trend!
Finally there is a way to achieve fat loss without missing your favourite television show. I'm going to show you a way to exercise without leaving the house. No more excuses, this is the ultimate exercise plan for the couch potato.
You have always wanted a six-pack but there is just one problem that stands in your way, you are a self-confessed television addict. We are all aware that sitting on our backsides from dawn till dusk isn't what our bodies are designed to do. What follows is a system to break that habit without breaking your favourite lifestyle trend. The next time you get in from work and park yourself in front of the TV set until bedtime you have to promise to yourself to do the following exercise recommendations as described below.
Remember there is nothing wrong with watching the TV if that's what you want to do, watching TV doesn't make people obese it is overeating and a lack of exercise.
The following recommendations can help jumpstart the metabolism and increase enthusiasm to help you want to create a stronger, healthier body without it interfering with your current lifestyle. This is what you need to do, choose a two-hour window you want to work in, typically the most watched programmes are half an hour long on an evening. There is nothing wrong with doing this exercise plan at anytime of the day as long as you stick to the following guidelines.
1. Perform a circuit before the first TV show of your 2-hour window begins.
2. Perform a circuit when the Ad break is on.
3. Perform a circuit when the TV show is ending.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for 2 hours.
This should work out so you are moving every fifteen minutes or so. You need to do enough exercise for about three minutes work on each of the circuits. The aim is to achieve between five and ten circuits in each two-hour window. Do this 5 days a week and you will burn more calories and tone the muscles whilst doing the same thing as you would normally be doing. In case you forgot what that is its sitting in front of the TV, whilst probably feeding your face with the wrong type of calories.
Here are some sample circuits
Circuit 1. Bodyweight squats for 30 seconds immediately followed by press-ups for 30 seconds
(Repeat 3 times).
Circuit 2. Static wall sit, hold for 30 seconds immediately followed by alternating lunges 30 seconds. (Repeat 3 times).
Circuit 3. Alternating Step Ups on to a Chair for 30 seconds immediately followed by chair dips for 30 seconds. (Repeat 3 times).
Circuit 4. Static wall sit, hold for 30 seconds immediately followed by a plank, hold for 30 seconds.
(Repeat 3 times).
Circuit 5. Bent leg raise with a pelvic tilt for 30 seconds work immediately followed by reverse crunches for 30 seconds. (Repeat 3 times).
Remember to stretch any tight muscles for around 20 seconds before and after your circuits. This could be done whilst watching the TV show so it doesn't interfere with any of the circuits. When designing an exercise programme there are millions of circuit options to choose from and more than one right way to do it. The best way is always the simplest way. If you opt for the simple way i.e. fewer exercises it will give you more focus on getting the technique correct.
After doing this for a few weeks your body's demand for proper nutrition to supply the energy needed for the extra work will be overpowering. Make sure you don’t neglect the most important ingredient for fat loss or you will never achieve the results you want.

Progressive Fat Loss – Avoid Tunnel Vision Diets
How to Keep Reducing Body Fat
The main drawback with someone on a diet is the mind; the mind can stand in the way of progress. At the front of a dieters’ mental consciousness is their relationship with calories and the bathroom scales. This can become a vicious circle and a recipe for failure.
Dieters imprison themselves at all levels so they can reach a constant flow of progress on the scales. This is tunnel vision dieting without any concern for anything but numbers. Clever marketing has tricked and got inside the heads of the venerable dieters to the extreme where nutritional health isn’t the priority anymore.
For years the dieting industry has used the low calorie approach to answer the obesity problem leaving the public with a very shallow understanding about nutrition. This has left a very sour taste in the mouth of many dieters whose progress has vanished in thin air instead of seeing excess body weight and fat disappear.
So what can potentially go wrong for a typical dieter? If the desired bodyweight is reached it is likely to be only temporary due to the unnatural dieting methods followed. This normally leads to a lifetime of yoyo dieting with body weight fluctuations and malnutrition.
The run of the mill low calorie dieting advice has led people to do things on gut feeling rather than on actual proven formulas. For example, if someone is not losing at a rate they desire they will either cut their calories to a dangerously low level and/or increase their exercise volume to compensate for a lack of progress. It becomes a battle that can’t be won resulting in more vulnerability towards worthless quick fixes.
If something sounds too good to be true then it normally is. It is essential to approach dieting with an open mind and great care must be taken when choosing whose advice to follow. Once a basic understanding about nutrition is achieved it is easy to pick out the proper advice from the ridiculous scams. The shelves of supermarkets and health food shops are full of diet foods connected to the biggest companies in the diet industry. No matter what it reads on the label if it contains ingredients you can’t pronounce or high amounts of sugar or sodium then it cant’ be helping you fight the fat can it? Remember knowing the basics can save you years of frustration and loads of money in the process.
I will finish this article by saying using the mirror or using a tape measure is far more better then getting weighed and living by numbers. What you see is what you get.

Get a Six-Pack Without Living on Chicken and Rice
I’m going to share with you the list of foods I’ve bought this week for the week ahead. My six-pack is visible, I have 3 millimetres of fat on my waist and these are the foods I buy and eat in a typical week. Note the variety I include, proof you can have a six-pack without living on chicken and rice and low fat rubbish. Most of the food on the list is organic or free range. I never cycle my diet at any particular time of the year, I eat consistently throughout the year without the need to ever change or reduce anything in my diet.
Mineral water
Herbal tea
Wheat free bread (I eat a few slices each week)
Puffed wholegrain rice cereals
Flax seed powder
Red apples
Pears
Blueberries
Sweet potatoes
Mange tout
Sugarsnap peas
Spinach
Runner beans
Peppers
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Asparagus
Tomatoes
Mushrooms
Red onions

Protein and good fats are your best friends when it comes to getting a six-pack and staying lean. Stay away from processed foods high in sugar, regardless what it says on the label.

How to Lose Weight and Shift Stubborn Body Fat without Counting Calories, Weighing Food, Eliminating Food Groups and Exercising like Mad
The most important actions to take to fight the fat
Ever wondered why diets never seem to work for permanent results? Have you tried and failed to lose weight or shift stubborn body fat in the past by counting calories, weighing food, eliminating food groups and exercising like mad? I recommend the first and one of the most important actions to take to fight the fat is to set goals and ask yourself the reasons why you want fat loss.
If you want guaranteed results in a speedy fashion you need to know which direction to take and avoid making the same mistakes other dieters make by not setting clear goals. After all you wouldn’t dream of going on a road trip to a brand new destination without turning on the Sat Nav in your vehicle would you? So why should it be different when embarking on a body transformation journey?
These are the main questions you need to ask yourself in order to succeed.
1. What Do You Want To Look Like? Write this down; describe everything in the finest detail and compare it to where you are now, don’t forget to describe your feelings now and how you will feel like once you reach your goal. Once you write down the changes you would like to see it is easier for the mind to accept and become comfortable with in order to make the steps to make it happen. I believe if you do this you will be using a very powerful psychological leap forward and according to my research is a routine almost all self-made millionaires and successful people have used.
2. What Time Frame Do You Want This To Happen? Be realistic but don’t be too conservative, a bit of pressure is good. If you fail to set a time on your goal you are less likely to accomplish what you set out to achieve because you haven’t any need to rush which could make you lazy. Never throw away the chance of an extra motivational tool. Weeks and months up to a wedding, birthday or holiday are all great targets to aim for.
3. Who Are You Doing This For and Why? Is it for your health & happiness, family/partner or for your career? Once you find the trigger point you have another motivational tool. There is no better motivation for doing something than to do it to impress someone you care about. But the bottom line is if you don’t want fat loss for yourself then you are not ready to take the steps needed to succeed. You must genuinely want it enough to take the action required.
The above guidelines for successful fat loss are all free. They are overlooked by the quick fix culture but very powerful when used and applied to your goals.

If You Want Quick Fat Loss it is Best to Learn How to Gain Fat Fast
How to Achieve Quick Fat Loss
Take note that no one is immune to the effects of:
Eating processed food and junk food
Consuming excessive calories
Eating the wrong kind of calories
Leading a sedentary lifestyle
Not managing stress levels
Very few of us can get away with contributing zero time to regular functional exercise and eat any type of calories and still look good. I would say less than 1% of the population but this 1% won’t have the health benefits of someone who exercises and eats healthily. If you want Quick Fat Loss it is absolutely essential you know which foods to eat and apply it to your lifestyle in order to experience fat loss.
On the other side of the coin you can still be unhealthy if you follow eating guidelines that are considered healthy by some so-called experts but are wrong for your body type. You can even end up worse off for exercising the wrong way and doing too much than someone who doesn’t do any.
What I am trying to get across is that the answer is always in front of your eyes, if you are not happy with the way you look it is highly likely because your current eating plan or lifestyle is wrong for you. If it works for someone else it doesn’t mean it will work for you. Many people spend years doing the same thing over and over again without getting the results they want. In my mind this is madness, there are always reasons for not achieving Quick Fat Loss and there will always be alternatives to try.
How many people actually try different approaches before quitting?
Exercising or eating a certain way and not changing in anyway, shape or form is a sign to wake up. In some cases some people actually believe what they are doing is the gospel truth; if you believe in following certain methods and you are not achieving results then you are no better off than someone who never exercises or someone who eats what they want.
Think about it for a minute, if you continue to follow a certain eating plan or exercise routine and fail to see results all you are really doing is turning a blind eye to the truth and being lazy. It is more comfortable for your body to follow something that isn’t working then it is to change the things that are stopping you from progressing. We are surrounded by choices and no one is responsible for your actions but you.
Below encompasses some of the habits that can lead to a Poor Body
Deprived sleep
Living on stimulants
Skipping breakfast
Eating processed food
Eating junk food
Smoking
Not drinking enough water
Consuming excessive calories
Consuming the wrong calories
Extreme dieting
High stress levels
Leading a sedentary lifestyle
Not doing any resistance type movements
Binge eating
Binge drinking
Prioritising the wrong kind of exercises
Doing too much exercise with not enough rest
Any of the above can lead to a Poor Body image. When essential nutrients are lacking in the diet and it is reinforced with poor lifestyle choices it is precisely the opposite of what you need if you want to experience fat loss.
This is an excerpt from the chapter Rich Body Poor Body – taken from Fat Loss Every 10 Days, Step 1.

In some cases some people actually believe what they are doing is the gospel truth; if you believe in following certain methods and you are not achieving results then you are no better off than someone who never exercises or someone who eats what they want.
Think about it for a minute, if you continue to follow a certain eating plan or exercise routine and fail to see results all you are really doing is turning a blind eye to the truth and being lazy. It is more comfortable for your body to follow something that isn’t working then it is to change the things that are stopping you from progressing. We are surrounded by choices and no one is responsible for your actions but you.
Below encompasses some of the habits that can lead to a Poor Body
Deprived sleep
Living on stimulants
Skipping breakfast
Eating processed food
Eating junk food
Smoking
Not drinking enough water
Consuming excessive calories
Consuming the wrong calories
Extreme dieting
High stress levels
Leading a sedentary lifestyle
Not doing any resistance type movements
Binge eating
Binge drinking
Prioritising the wrong kind of exercises
Doing too much exercise with not enough rest
Any of the above can lead to a Poor Body image. When essential nutrients are lacking in the diet and it is reinforced with poor lifestyle choices it is precisely the opposite of what you need if you want to experience fat loss.

Ultimate Dream Body - Another Way to Look at Getting Rid of a Fat Belly
How to Get Your House in Order For The Best Fat Loss Results
Compare your body to your ultimate dream home, this can be as elaborate as you want and anywhere in the world so don’t hold back. Now imagine neglecting your ultimate dream home for a few years, those few years soon turn into a decade and so on. What do you think you will find when you return for a look?
The floorboards would probably be rotting, the walls peeling and damp and the furniture infected with woodworm. To top this off the electrics would need rewiring and the gas and electric supply disconnected. But what’s really annoying is the condition of the plumbing, years of neglect has blocked the sewage pipes.
==>Risk Free Fat Loss<==
The owner is responsible for the state the house is in and neglect is the reason it has changed. This once stunning house is now a decaying house and is beginning to show from the outside too. This analogy can be used for the body of a person that has lived on a poor diet and not exercised regularly for years. A classic example of why body composition goes in the wrong direction.
Would you want to go in that house and start the momentous work of cleaning it up and begin renovating it? Can you imagine attempting all that by yourself? I bet not unless you knew what to do and you had loads and loads of time and willpower. Just picture the time it would take and the mental cost. The same scenario holds true for many people who begin the clean up operation of their diets and embark on an exercise plan. It feels like mission impossible because that is what it is to them, and why shouldn’t it? But if you get the correct help and guidance to do it right in the first place then it is a lot quicker and easier to get the job done.
You wouldn’t attempt to renovate a house if you didn’t know what you were doing so why do people try and renovate their bodies by blindly going at it on gut feelings in the hope of what they are doing is going to work?
==>Risk Free Fat Loss<==
This is one of the main reasons why so many people give up on exercise and so called diets because they never achieve the results they desire. All for the simple reason they don’t know what they are doing because they are following the wrong plan.
Following a poor exercise and nutrition plan is enough to drive anyone back to living the previous lifestyle that got them the way they look today. Taking chances by guessing how to get in shape doesn’t work and never has for anyone. It may be easier following your own instinct but the price you pay is limited results at best.
You have two choices, either neglect your body and end up with a renovation project years from now or begin to look after your body now by practising good house keeping. The latter will have immediate effect and is insurance against any future work and costs.

How to Snack For Fat Loss – Tips For Dieters and Bodybuilders
How to Snack the Right Way for Fat Loss
The chances of you achieving fat loss or other diet and fitness related goals depend on the types of food you choose to eat, not just for your main meals but for your snacks too. Your success is determined by food quality, quantity and frequency of meals or snacks. It is important to find the right balance for your body and discover what works best for you.
Some people do great eating snacks between meals and others not so great. It doesn’t take an expert to tell you that you would instantly take a u-turn in your rate of progress if you snacked erratically.
My advice is this; if snacking is something new to you and you are keen to speed up the metabolism, try eating frequently. I would recommend trying a mid morning snack first. This is a safer way to introduce you to eating frequently because it will help speed up the metabolism for the day better than just having a mid afternoon snack.
Remember that eating good quality foods and nutrients for your main meals doesn’t give you the right to snack on bad calories that you find in processed foods and most convenient food outlets. Don’t think for a minute that good meals will cancel out bad snacks, maybe now and again but definitely not everyday.
The endless supply of junk foods can be testing on our temptations at the best of times. It is easy to feel helpless in our willpower as we go about our daily business.
Don’t worry because there is some good news. All you need to be is organised and follow some simple guidelines.
1. Plan what foods you are going to use for snacks
Tip: Choose just two foods, a protein food and a carbohydrate food and always carry them around with you so you don’t get stuck when you need something to eat.
2. Only eat natural foods
Tip: Try not to eat anything with multiple ingredients i.e. processed bars etc. For example try fruits and nuts/seeds.
3. Keep your eye on the clock
Tip: Do not eat snacks sooner than 2 hours before your last meal. If it is approaching 4 hours since your last meal you will need to eat something to keep the metabolism ticking optimally.
Experiment with what works best for your body in regards to how often you need to snack and the response it has to the rate of your progress. Do you just need a mid morning snack or do you need a mid afternoon snack as well?

The Effortless Way to Get a Six Pack – the Missing Link to Fat Loss
Sleep = Fat Loss and Abs
Are you committed to a six-pack workout at the gym or at home? Is your dream of achieving perfect abs and a trim waist evaporating together with any sign of progress? Did you know a good night sleep is one of the most important issues for losing body fat? Fail to get enough sleep and go to bed on time and you will be doomed with battling with your fat levels forever. Taking the steps with changing your habitual sleep patterns over the next few days and weeks can have immediate effects on dropping fat from your body.
Discover how to Lose Weight, Fat & Inches in Only 10 Days!
Sleep is one of the factors behind controlling one of the body’s most important hormones for dieters. The hormone is called cortisol and happens to be a fat storing hormone. Cortisol is influenced by light, which means you should aim to wind down before bed avoiding all bright lights. Cortisol is also connected to our natural body clock. Going to bed late will prolong the release of cortisol and keep it elevated at a time when it should be low.
This important information shouldn’t be dismissed from your arsenal of fat fighting strategies and quest for six-pack abs. It can seem like a lot of dedication going to bed early especially when the ideal time is 10-10.30pm. In this day and age of late night TV and the Internet there are plenty of reasons to keep us occupied into the small hours. Watching bright TV screens and staring at the computer just before bed is the worst thing you could do to wind down, the light from both is enough to keep cortisol levels high.
You should aim for 8 hours sleep every night if you are struggling with losing body fat and getting your abs to make an appearance. Going to bed at midnight and getting 8 hours sleep isn’t the same as going to bed at 10.30pm and getting 8 hours sleep. We have a natural body clock built in to us with the times set for certain hormones to peak and dip throughout the day. Staying up late will send your natural rhythm of hormone secretion out of balance.
I hope it is clear that keeping cortisol levels high at bedtime is your worst enemy for fighting the bulge and achieving perfect abs. Putting together and applying an action plan to get you in bed earlier each night until you reach the ideal bedtime is the easiest way to accomplish the next step in your fat loss programme. Especially if you are a die-hard night owl like I once were. Discover how to Lose Weight, Fat & Inches in Only 10 Days!

How to Find Out if Your Fat Belly Diet is Working
2 Ways to Review Your Slimming Progress
The quickest way to get slim and lose tons of fat doesn’t need to involve scientific jargon or a calculator. Many people jump on the calories in and calories out bandwagon only to be left disappointed with the lack of results they get from that approach. Dieters simply fail to manage their diets properly and this is the number one reason why there are so many unsuccessful dieters around.
Anybody who wants to reduce fat, lose weight or improve the way they look needs to implement some sort of review system into their calendar. This is precisely what a good personal trainer will do when you go to see them. If your goal is fat loss then there should be regular review dates to see if you are progressing or not.
Applying some attention to the level of progress every ten days is exactly what any dieter could do at home. There is more you can do then to step on the bathroom scales to see if you are achieving results or not.
Below are two ways to review your progress.
Track your body fat levels
Stepping on the scales can be convenient and give you instant feedback but they only give you limited information. Scale weight tells you nothing about body fat percentage and the areas where body fat is dropping quicker than others. It is possible to be overweight but not over fat especially if you are an athlete.
Skin fold callipers are the easiest method and most reliable way to measure body fat. A good set of skin fold callipers should come with instructions and formulas for working out body fat percentages.
The way I do it is by keeping it simple, I choose certain areas of the body I wish to keep an eye on and take the measurements. I record the skin fold measurement in millimetres and write it down in my diary. I repeat this process every 10 days to see if I am making progress. The benefit of doing this over the scales is that it tells me where on the body I am responding and making progress.
Take your measurements
This is another useful method that tells you much more than just getting weighed. Taking regular measurements around the largest area of different body parts is a consistent way of tracking changes. The most popular areas to measure are thighs, hips, bum, tummy, bust/chest and arms.
Once again record measurements and changes in some sort of journal or calendar to track your progress.
Once you have the information at hand and still not progressing at the speed you wish you have a strong advantage because you can modify your diet to influence the next set of measurements on the next review date. A simple enough strategy that many dieters fail to put into practice.

How To Be Skinny in Time For Your Christmas Party
Fat Loss in Time For Christmas
If you are trying to battle the bulge and not succeeding then you are not alone. Despite the diet industry turning over billions each year it still has a poor success rate for its many followers.
FREE FAT LOSS TIPS everyday for the next 10 days!
So what is going wrong and what can be done to achieve permanent fat loss?
Fat loss has to begin with the individual’s lifestyle. The only way to secure complete fat loss is to follow some basic guidelines to help build health within the body and apply some overlooked principles.
Some of these guidelines range from getting a good night sleep to managing stress levels. Both of which can contribute to an over production of fat storing hormones. The truth is you can go to the gym and eat a clean diet but if your hormones are working against what you are trying to achieve then you are fighting a losing battle with the bulge.
That is just one side to the fat loss phenomenon. The other side is nutrition. The secret to eating your way to fat loss is to eat foods with the greatest nutrient value available. That means you need to eat foods that offer the most bang for the buck and the best place to look is organic and natural foods. What I mean by natural foods is anything that hasn’t been interfered with by man. Processed foods masked, as a health food needs to go from your diet straight away if you are serious about losing weight and inches.
Once your body begins to digest high amounts of nutrients from natural foods you will require less food to satisfy hunger.
That is just the beginning, once you get your lifestyle in check and introduce plenty of good foods in your diet you can then be concerned about what kind of exercise you choose to do.
FREE FAT LOSS TIPS everyday for the next 10 days!
The most effective way to exercise is to choose a type that is challenging but short in duration. There is a saying you can train long but not hard and vice versa. The best kind of exercise that will work best for fat loss are the kinds that will leave you sweating and increase your heart rate and breathing. There are different ways to skin a cat and experimenting with what suits you and what you respond best from is the way to go. From my experiences resistance exercises of any kind work the fastest for fat loss results.

Beer Belly Solutions – the Easiest and Quickest Way to Get Rid of a Beer Gut
Change Your Beer Belly For a Six Pack
Pints of beer drunk frequently are going to swell up and distend the stomach regardless of an individual’s body fat levels. Some men regularly drink at least half a dozen pints in one drinking session. The pressure of retaining pints of high calorie fluids is going to swell even the leanest person’s belly.
High levels of visceral fat also cause the beer belly look. Visceral fat is internal fat. It is actually underneath your six-pack muscles and covers your organs. People who have high levels of visceral fat are also insulin resistant and need to avoid sugary, processed and starchy foods.
Obviously the best way to lose a beer belly is to stop drinking beer!
If you don’t drink beer and still have what looks like a beer belly then you will need to lose the visceral fat. Given that visceral fat is an indication of severe insulin resistance then the first step is to manage insulin levels by limiting certain carbohydrates in the diet and sugary processed foods.
Eliminating breads, pastas, ready-made meals and basically anything that comes in a fancy packaging with unpronounceable ingredients including so called healthy cereals is the fastest way to drop fat. Then it can take as little as a couple of weeks to see a major change in the size of your beer belly.
Beer is a terrible choice of drink for someone who wants to lose body fat. Beer has empty calories and has an estrogenic effect. Hops are highly estrogenic and are considered the main causes for beer bellies and man boobs on men.
Exercise recommendations for beer bellies and man boobs should be something that gets your heart rate high and panting like a dog. Resistance type training is the most effective way to exercise for someone wanting to burn fat. Weights burn more calories than cardiovascular exercises such as the treadmill and rowing machine. You need to approach resistance training with a view to sweat and work hard in order to get the best results. Click here for the best way to lose a beer belly.

3 Minute Abs – More About the Circuit Everyone is Talking About
Six Pack Abs Circuit Training
In my previous article about 3 minute abs I introduced you to the concept of training your abs as hard as possible in only 3 minutes. Just to recap, choose 3 abdominal exercises and work them for 30 seconds each with no gaps of rest between any of them. When you have done the 3 exercises repeat them all immediately until you have exercised for 3 minutes.
Today I will show you another way to blast your abs in only 3 minutes.
This is what to do:
Exercise #1 for 30 seconds
Exercise #2 for 30 seconds
Repeat three times with no rest between any of the exercises.
This time you are only doing 2 exercises for the 3-minute circuit. The same principles apply as before where you go from one exercise to the other without any rest.
The 2 exercises I have found to work very well are:
Exercise #1 The V Sit Up
Lie face up on the floor with your head touching the floor. Place your arms straight by the side of your head and straighten your legs so they are touching each other.
The aim of the exercise is to bring your legs, arms and head off the floor at the same time. Ideally you should come up so your body imitates a V shape. I have found bringing your head a few inches off the floor and arms and legs around 12 inches off the ground works just as hard for most people. Make sure you start each rep with your head; arms and legs touching the floor so you work in the full range and prevent your neck from hurting.
The tempo should be 2 seconds each way and try and focus on recruiting the abdominal muscles every time you lift off the ground. In other words don’t force your body up by throwing your arms and legs upwards.
Exercise #2 The Plank
Begin lying face down on the floor with your feet together and forearms on the ground; hands should be clenched in a fist. Draw the abs inward, squeeze your backside muscles and lift the entire body off the ground until it forms a straight line from head to toe, remember you are resting on your forearms and toes.
Forearms should be parallel and elbows directly below the shoulders. Keep the back flat throughout your set and chin tucked. Hold this position until you can maintain good form and slowly return to the ground.
Remember when you have done the 2 exercises in a row for 30 seconds each go back to the first and repeat them 3 times so you get a 3 minute workout.
What makes this circuit popular is the fact that you can do it absolutely anywhere and it only takes 3 minutes.

Draw the abs inward, squeeze your backside muscles and lift the entire body off the ground until it forms a straight line from head to toe, remember you are resting on your forearms and toes.
Forearms should be parallel and elbows directly below the shoulders. Keep the back flat throughout your set and chin tucked. Hold this position until you can maintain good form and slowly return to the ground.
Remember when you have done the 2 exercises in a row for 30 seconds each go back to the first and repeat them 3 times so you get a 3 minute workout.
What makes this circuit popular is the fact that you can do it absolutely anywhere and it only takes 3 minutes.

3-Minute Abs Circuit For a Better Six Pack
Quick Six Pack Workout
I have found a way of training the abs as hard as possible in only 3 minutes. You could try different abdominal exercises with the following method but my favourite way to do this circuit is to do 3 lower abdominal type exercises back to back. You get an unbelievable burn in your six-pack during this circuit, it is more difficult and beneficial for working the abs then the standard approach of doing a set and resting and repeating.

This is what to do:
Exercise #1 for 30 seconds
Exercise #2 for 30 seconds
Exercise #3 for 30 seconds
Repeat once with no rest between any of the exercises.
Move immediately from exercise 1, 2 and 3 and repeat them all making sure there are no gaps of rest. This will give you 3 minutes of hard work. A great way to get the most from exercising your abs whether you want to get ripped or shred body fat.
The 3 exercises I like to use are:
Exercise #1 Leg Lowering
Lie face up on the floor and place your hands underneath your low back. Rest on your elbows and forearms so your head is off the floor, your upper body remains in this position during the set. Now straighten you legs and begin to lift your legs off the floor. Aim to bring your legs around 2 feet high above the floor and return them towards the floor but don’t touch the floor on the descent with your legs. The idea is to lift your straight legs up and down without touching the floor for 30 seconds.

It is important to keep pressure on your hands throughout the set, make sure your low back stays in contact with your hands at all times. If you feel your back arching bring your tummy in towards your spine. If you find it difficult to keep pressure on your hands try bending your legs a little.
Exercise #2 Reverse Crunch
Lie on your back with your head on the floor and arms by your side. Bend your knees so your feet are as close to your butt as possible. Now lift your feet off the floor so your thighs are vertical. This position is your start position for every rep; don’t start each rep with your feet on the floor.
From the start position gently roll your low back off the floor and bring your knees towards your chest. When you reach the furthest position you are capable of achieving pause for a second before returning to the start position. Repeat for 30 seconds.
Exercise #3 Knee Push
For this exercise you need to be in the same position as the start position for the reverse crunch exercise. Lie on your back with your head in contact with the floor during the set. Keep the feet off the floor and thighs in a vertical position.
The aim of the exercise is to push your knees up towards the ceiling. Depending on the strength of your abs will determine whether your butt leaves the floor or not. You are striving to push your knees around one inch upwards, that is enough distance to work the exercise properly.
Keep the head and upper body as relaxed as possible during the exercise, this will make your abs work more. The tempo should be moderate and there shouldn’t be any bouncing. Repeat for 30 seconds.
Don’t forget when you have done the 3 exercises in a row go back to the first and repeat them all so you get a 3 minute workout.
You could do this workout at home, at the gym, in the office, hotel room, on the balcony, on the beach or outside in the park. There are no limitations with this workout. Get your individual Six Pack Diet blueprint today.

Lose Weight & Inches in 10 Days – the Natural Diet From Years of Research
Finding the right diet that works for you
I have tried all sorts of diets in the past but I was never impressed by any of them. After years of experimenting I discovered a very powerful way to lose weight and reduce fat. This could be the most important article you ever read about dieting so do yourself a favour and spend a minute to discover exactly what this diet is all about.
Discover how to Lose Weight, Fat & Inches in Only 10 Days!
After years of trying different types of diets on my clients and myself I came across the best and quickest way to lose inches and drop body fat that I had ever witnessed. It is worth mentioning before I go any further that I recommend avoiding fad diets of any kind especially if a celebrity endorses it. Those types of diets will cost you in future weight loss and fat loss attempts. The more you put your body through extreme dieting the more you screw up your metabolism in terms of it slowing down. Metabolism is the rate your body burns calories and it can take your metabolism a very long time to recover from a diet and get back to normal speed again. Famine type diets that restrict nutrients from the body help kick start a life long obsession to achieve your ideal body shape. All this does is encourages you to try different diets that are equally as bad as the last one you tried.
The most effective diet I have found to lose a lot of pounds and reduce fat fast involves controlling the types of carbohydrates in the diet and making sure to eat good quality proteins with every meal.
This diet will force extreme weight loss and fat loss simply because it is based on balancing blood sugar levels throughout the day. This alone is the secret to achieving your ideal body shape and keeping hunger pangs at bay.
Discover how to Lose Weight, Fat & Inches in Only 10 Days!
The action steps required to make this diet work at its optimum level is to modify the ratios between the carbohydrate foods and the protein foods until you are happy with the speed of progress. If you are ready to Lose Weight, Fat & Inches Click Here.

Is Food 100% Responsible For the Way You Look?
Food for thought when it comes to fat loss
Your diet is probably responsible for the way you look right now. Having excess body fat and being over weight is not a symptom of not using the treadmill a few times a week. If you don’t believe me just look at all the gym members the world over that quit everyday because they never achieve any results. They hit the treadmill in their droves religiously and still never get anywhere. The next time you are down the gym take a closer look at all the dedicated gym members that continue to exercise week after week and year after year yet still don’t look any different for their efforts. The majority of these people spend their workout time doing cardiovascular exercises. The type we have been led to believe is the answer to all over weight problems.
Discover how to Lose Weight, Fat & Inches in Only 10 Days!
The mainstream media and the diet and exercise industry have programmed people to believe exercise is the answer to fat loss. How many people head straight into exercise routines without bothering to change their diet? A lot I can tell you.
From years of experience training people I have discovered the people who eat a bad diet are looking for a quick fix with exercise. They are hardly ever willing to change their diet without waiting a few months. This is to see if their exercise regime will give them the body they want. Then after all their invested time spent exercising fails to deliver the fat loss they want they more often then not throw in the towel.
Investing in eating a clean balanced diet from the beginning is the quickest way to get healthy and lose fat. You can’t out train a diet full of bad calories. If you live on processed junk foods and fail to get the right balance of nutrients everyday from natural foods then it is highly likely that you will feel lethargic and not look as good as you should. The effects of eating well show up on your body and keeps you feeling energised all day long. A far cry to what a few workouts a week on the treadmill can give you.

Ways to Save Money With Dieting and Gym Memberships
Save Money With Dieting
Most people join gyms with a clear mind of what they want. As soon as they sign up they hit the treadmill followed by a few crunches and hope in a few months time they will achieve their objective. There is a never-ending flow of people that are willing to buy into the belief that investing time exercising will yield results.
The other side of getting in shape is dieting; most people follow fad diets or join diet clubs wanting to transform the way they look in a limited time.
What you have are two different actions to solve the same problem. Both seem straightforward. So why do so many people never achieve their fat loss goal and give up after falling at the first hurdle?
There are numerous reasons why people never achieve results but the common ones are because they are doing the least effective options available. The least effective exercise and dieting methods costs you big money and wastes a lot of time and effort.
Did you know that most gyms only have around 20% of their members use the gym regularly? That means some people join up and only use the gym once costing them a full years membership for one session. Or you get others that use the gym once a month or even once a week that will still cost a staggering amount per visit when you calculate it. The reasons for this are normally a lack of motivation or no direction to follow.
So how can you save money with gym memberships if you are locked into a 12-month contract? If you are new to exercise it is essential to invest in expert advice so you are spending your time doing the most effective methods available for your goals. Once you follow the right way the sooner you will see results and the less chance of you giving up. After all who would want to stop if something is working?
Personal trainer fees can seem expensive but so are gym memberships that never get used. This applies to fad dieting as well. Why waste time following a diet that never delivers? Wouldn’t it be easier following an expert’s advice and save time and money in the process? How many times do unsuccessful dieters buy into the next wonder pill? It always comes back to spending more money and wasting more time then necessary.
All this can be avoided by following the most effective methods available by asking for an expert’s opinion. Always seek a trainer with credentials and good experience. Decide by what they can do for you and not what it costs you because failing to reach your goal will cost you more in the end.

How to Eat Healthy at Work
Eating For Fat Loss at Work
I’ve heard the same excuses a thousand times, you are too busy to eat healthy or something comes up at work that prevents you from eating at all. Planning is the key by learning to become organised and manage time as efficiently as possible. It is the only way to achieve your fat loss goals.
Lets take a look at some solutions for different scenarios at work.
Making the right decisions by preparing your own meals
If you are serious about fat loss then taking your own food to work will help you control what you eat. Prepare your food for work at the beginning of the day or the night before. Learn to take responsibility and control the types of food you eat. This is your chance to choose between healthy foods or foods from a vending machine or a canteen that serves processed and de-vitalised junk food.
Tip: one example of a healthy meal is to take a bowl containing a chopped up salad with cold cuts of meat or fish. The salad could contain, spinach, pepper, green beans, asparagus, sugar snap peas, tomatoes or spring onions to name just a few. Add a little dressing in the tune of seed oil or vinegar and hey presto you have a very healthy lunch you can graze on during the day.
Learn how to eat healthy at work and Lose Weight, Fat & Inches.
If emails and phone calls rob you from taking a break
Tip: set the alarm on your watch every 3 to 4 hours to remind you to eat. Give yourself at least 5-10 minutes where you don’t answer emails or phone calls, divert calls if necessary or let calls go straight to the answer machine.
You are worth this time; your health is more valuable than trying to beat the never-ending stream of work that will always be there no matter how long and hard you try to beat it. When you do this make sure you leave the desk so you can’t be distracted and you can enjoy your food in peace.
When impromptu meetings that take longer than expected
There are times when a liquid meal will be more convenient and a lifesaver. Keeping a meal replacement sachet in your bag for unforeseeable situations is a good precaution. Try not to rely on liquid meals and substitute them for solid foods because solid meals excite the metabolism more than liquids.
Tip: the best meal replacements are those that contain whey protein and have no aspartame and are low in sugars. Meal replacements are easy to prepare, they mix easily in a screw top shaker with a little water and a few shakes. Because of the protein content in a lot of meal replacements it is a wise choice for women to just have half a sachet. Most meal replacements are designed for male bodybuilders and women’s daily protein requirements differ from that of a male bodybuilder. I personally prefer to add a tablespoon of flaxseed oil when mixing the meal replacement drink to help slow down the insulin response. Learn the easiest way to eat healthy at work and Lose Weight, Fat & Inches fast.

The Best Fat Loss Plan to Get Rid Of a Fat Belly
Ways To Get Rid Of A Fat Belly
What Do You Want To Look Like?
Write this down; describe everything in the finest detail to the belly shape you want to the amount fat you want to carry around with you.
Compare it to where you are now.
The importance of having a vision of what you want to look like is important because it keeps you on track. Imagine going on a road trip without a destination, its pretty pointless unless its what you want but with fat loss it is a different set of rules. You can’t treat fat loss like a mystery tour and expect to end up where you want, you need to be focused in order to get where you want.
What Time Frame Do You Want This To Happen?
Be realistic but don’t be too conservative, a bit of pressure is good.
Once you have a vision of what you want to look like you then need to stick a desired time limit on your fat loss goal. This is another great motivational tool that can push you along each step until you reach your final destination.
Now I want you to look at your timescale for your Fat Loss Goal, how many review days are you going to have? Once you know the answer you have a powerful approach to make certain the fat loss actually happens before the deadline. If fat loss doesn’t happen quick enough for you then you can easily look at what you are doing wrong and prepare to move in the relevant direction before the next review.
Who Are You Doing This For and Why?
Is it for your health & happiness, family/partner or for your career?
The reasons behind your fat loss goals are probably more powerful than the tactics I’ve discussed above. Why you may ask? I have found that people’s reasons for wanting to achieve Belly Fat Loss normally involve feelings, other people, relationships or other meaningful importance to life. This is dynamite for getting motivated, if those reasons won’t budge you to make a start nothing will.

A Professional Footballer Lost a Third of His Body Fat in Just Four Weeks With Fat Loss Every 10 Days
Fat Loss without Dieting
When a professional footballer approached me for help one of the first things he told me was how ultra professional he had always been throughout his career with the way he looked after himself. Alcohol was limited to a glass of wine with a meal now and again and he never spent any time in smoky clubs or bars, he also told me he always went to bed before midnight to make sure he got his eight hours sleep every night. He went on to say he had always accepted that certain people are naturally fitter than others but it had always struck him that despite his healthy lifestyle he never felt as fit as he thought he should have been.
Click ==>The Quickest Way To Get Rid Of A Fat Belly
Having felt this way for quite a long time he had finally had enough and decided to get his diet checked to find out if he was missing anything out or doing something wrong to explain the way he felt. As well as leading a healthy lifestyle he had always followed what is widely regarded as a very healthy diet. Plenty of pasta, potatoes, salad and vegetables, a little red meat, chicken and the odd helping of fish. On shopping trips to the supermarket he would always go for the low fat versions of everything he saw. He was taking the advice of the health magazines and most of the other sources of media that said fat is bad for you and should be avoided at all costs.
As soon as I started explaining about the myths surrounding nutrition he was surprised and got a lot more than he expected. I introduced him to how to identify the foods that made him feel lethargic, hungry or irritable and helped him to recognise the foods that made him feel the total opposite. If certain foods make you feel terrible and do nothing to quench your appetite then it makes perfect sense to eliminate that food from your diet especially if you want to excel at your sport.
Click ==>The Quickest Way To Get Rid Of A Fat Belly
One of the keys to success with eating for optimal sports performance is to learn which foods belong to which food group. As soon as you are able to identify different food groups you have a better chance of controlling hunger. This is because different food groups will give you different responses. Once you become familiar with the foods that leave you feeling a certain way you will be able to prepare meals that work for the body and not against it. All this requires is modification with the portion sizes. In other words you may need less carbohydrates and more protein with each meal in order to satisfy your hunger and prevent your energy levels dipping.
The good thing is that it isn’t even dieting; it is all about feeding the body the correct nutrients in the proper ratios so you don’t suffer any negative effects after a meal.
Since my first meeting with the professional footballer he has changed his diet in a big way and adopted the principles above. He has not needed to rely on pasta, bread and potatoes for his energy needs because he felt he didn’t need them. He has never felt fitter and has lost a third of his body fat levels in just four weeks without changing his exercise regime. Click ==>The Quickest Way To Get Rid Of A Fat Belly

I introduced him to how to identify the foods that made him feel lethargic, hungry or irritable and helped him to recognise the foods that made him feel the total opposite. If certain foods make you feel terrible and do nothing to quench your appetite then it makes perfect sense to eliminate that food from your diet especially if you want to excel at your sport.

One of the keys to success with eating for optimal sports performance is to learn which foods belong to which food group. As soon as you are able to identify different food groups you have a better chance of controlling hunger. This is because different food groups will give you different responses. Once you become familiar with the foods that leave you feeling a certain way you will be able to prepare meals that work for the body and not against it. All this requires is modification with the portion sizes. In other words you may need less carbohydrates and more protein with each meal in order to satisfy your hunger and prevent your energy levels dipping.
The good thing is that it isn’t even dieting; it is all about feeding the body the correct nutrients in the proper ratios so you don’t suffer any negative effects after a meal.
Since my first meeting with the professional footballer he has changed his diet in a big way and adopted the principles above. He has not needed to rely on pasta, bread and potatoes for his energy needs because he felt he didn’t need them. He has never felt fitter and has lost a third of his body fat levels in just four weeks without changing his exercise regime. Click ==>The Quickest Way To Get Rid Of A Fat Belly

A Fat Belly Diet Does Not Need Weighing Scales
The Real Reasons Dieters Like to Step on the Scale
If you are following a fat belly diet and want to lose weight from your belly then it is only natural to think you need to weigh yourself frequently to see if you are losing weight. You have to ask yourself what you want to achieve from your diet, is it to look slimmer or is it to reach a number on the scales? Think very carefully before you answer that question because they are completely different things.
You don’t need to get weighed to see if you are getting slimmer, all you need is a mirror and a tape measure. To be completely honest you don’t even need a tape measure because if you are sticking to the right kind of diet you will be able to see results without the confirmation of a few measurements to satisfy your mind.
If you follow the right kind of diet you should be able to see changes through the mirror every ten days and should feel energised and look healthy. The weighing scales can’t tell you how you look or how you feel. Are you prepared to allow the scales to tell you otherwise with a number?
The real reason dieters like to go through the mental torture of routinely getting weighed is because they are looking for something to make them feel better for their lack of effort. They simply aren’t trying hard enough and allowing too many banned foods into their diets. They rely on the scales to tell them a number they want to see to make everything all right even though they know deep inside everything isn’t as it should be.
Getting weighed everyday or even every week simply isn’t necessary for you to reach your goal. You are going to get results if you follow the right kind of diet regardless of whether you get weighed or not. Achieving results with a diet begins inside your mind. Cheating yourself won’t get you very far and turning to the scales in the hope they will make you feel better is a never ending waste of time which will help you fail.
Any success with dieting always shows on the outside of your body with the way you look. The biggest achievement with progress is how you feel inside, if you feel healthy and have loads of energy then you know you are on to a winner. Remember you don’t need weighing scales; a tape measure or even a mirror to achieve results, all you need is to just stick to a proper diet. The diet for perfect abs.

Exercise Tips You Must Try If You Want A Flat Belly
How To Exercise For A Flat Belly
Clocking in at the gym and putting the time in doesn’t mean you are going to end up with the body of your dreams. Forget marathon type workouts where they only allow you to exercise half-heartedly. It is time to stop guessing and living your life in hope of waking up one day and miraculously discovering the abs you have always wanted. You must try different approaches to get the best results. You are expecting too much if you think the same exercise routine will give you everything you want. It is important to modify and experiment with different exercise routines as you go along or you will never reach your goal.
Want A Flat Belly? =>Click Here<=
Here are some of the best ways to stop your body adapting to what you are doing and keep progress running smoothly.
#1 Assess strengths and weaknesses
Before you start do you know which muscles are tight in your body and need stretching? Do you know if other muscles are compensating when you perform a movement because of a weakness in the chain? Do you know which exercises will make your posture or pain worse? How do you know you are doing the right exercises that are right for your body? These are just some of the questions that need answering before embarking on a regular exercise programme.
#2 Train intense but keep it real
This means training within your capabilities that allows a minimum of a good technique on everything you do. This mainly points to lifting a weight that is too heavy, doing part of the range of movement or doing more reps than you can manage resulting in quick and poorly performed reps. Good reps are real reps; you can either work the body part the exercise is designed for or take the stress away from the body part by performing a poor rep, it’s as simple as that.
#3 Include big movements in your workout
Multi joint exercises work more muscles and burn more calories than isolation exercises. Most pieces of gym equipment cater for working only one or two muscles at a time. Performing multi joint exercises like squats and bent over rows correctly have the best carry over effect that helps you in work, sports and many of life’s tasks.
#4 Use gravity
Have you noticed the physiques of gymnasts? You will never see overweight or out of shape gymnast, that’s because training against gravity is one of the best things you can do to look your best. The feedback I get from clients that do bodyweight exercises within their exercise routines report how challenging and how much effort they take to perform. Make sure to include gravity-based exercises in your exercise programme. You can start off basic by doing floor exercises and work up to more demanding exercises where you push or pull your bodyweight with your feet off the ground. Want A Flat Belly? =>Click Here<=

The Reasons Why Most Women Won’t Get Arms Like Madonna Exercising With Weights
Madonna Arms
Most women who want to get in shape will normally stay clear from doing any resistance type exercises involving weights because they believe training with weights will turn them into muscle freaks. I hear this exercise myth all the time from women; it’s probably the most common myth out of all the misunderstandings about training with weights to improve appearances in females. Many women think if they touch a weight they will end up with arms looking of sinew and bulging veins. Images of the pop singer Madonna everywhere don’t help to reassure women’s confidence to train with weights for a better body. The misconceptions women have of training with weights have driven them to cardiovascular type exercises and away from the many benefits training with weights can have. Instead they prefer activities like running, biking or any piece of CV equipment that takes their liking in the hope it will transform the way they look.
Click for GUARANTEED FAT LOSS with the Fat Belly Diet!
There are some things to consider before running away from dumbbells and barbells and why they won’t turn you into the next Miss Universe.
#1 – Big muscles or a ripped physique don’t happen overnight. It isn’t a case of going to the gym and lifting a few weights and waking up the next day with irreversible big muscles that you are stuck with for life.
#2 – Someone with a body that has bulging muscles and looks toned and distinguished has attained it with years and years of hard training and strict nutritional control or with performance drugs or both.
#3 – Women have less muscle building hormones then men and it is rare for a woman to develop big muscles even with a strict bodybuilding-training regime and strict diet.
#4 – I always reassure a women’s misconception of training with weights by telling them that if they were able to easily build big muscles they would just as easily be able to decrease the size of the muscles by resorting back to doing nothing.

The advantage of resistance training over traditional cardio training is significant. Done properly, resistance training will create a cardiovascular response; killing two birds with one stone and saving heaps of time. One of the numerous benefits includes the functional benefit, which has a carry over effect to daily living, and most sports. But more importantly for most women is that it will shape the body making it more aesthetically pleasing at the same time as toning muscle tissue. As soon the muscles begin to work frequently under resistance it speeds up the rate you burn calories and it makes it easier to reduce body fat levels.

How To Have A Challenging Workout To Burn Belly Fat Using Light Dumbbells At Home
How To Burn Fat
There is a way of achieving muscle fatigue if all you have are a pair of light dumbbells kicking around in your spare room. As long as you stick to some guidelines you will be able to feel the burn with all your workouts and achieve Weight, Fat & Inch Loss.
Here are the rules:
#1 Choose isolation exercises
#2 Perform high repetitions
#3 Use a short rest between each set
If you have a pair of adjustable dumbbells, ones where you are able to make one heavy dumbbell from the two opt for single limb exercises to achieve more intensity when possible.
Example exercises using dumbbells:
Legs
Squats, progress to split squat or lunges. Advanced option is to squat, curl and overhead press or squat holding the dumbbells overhead.
Chest
Dumbbell Chest fly - with back on the floor.
Press ups – no weights required.
Back
Bent over rowing holding the body in static bent over position and bringing the dumbbells to the side of the chest.
Upright rowing – row the dumbbells as high as the collarbone.
Shoulders
Side raises followed by overhead pressing.
Bent over side raise.
Biceps
Curls and hammer curls.
Triceps
Triceps extension - with back on the floor.
Close grip press ups. No weights required.
Abs
Seated reverse wood chops.
Abdominal crunches holding the dumbbells with straight arms directly above the chest.
Repetition range:
Don’t be afraid to try anything up to 50 repetitions per exercise. Just because you are lifting light dumbbells doesn’t mean you can rush the set. Never sacrifice proper training technique no matter what the circumstances are. A strict training technique makes the targeted muscle group work harder and brings quicker results.
Recommended sets and rest:
If you choose to work on one exercise at a time and you are doing over 15 repetitions because of the light dumbbells it is recommended to rest no more than 60 seconds before you repeat the set. Depending on how difficult the next sets are will determine if you can afford to shave seconds from your rest time in between sets.
For best Weight, Fat & Inch Loss results at least 2-3 sets per exercises is required to create a training response.
An example legs, chest and abs workout using light dumbbells to help Lose Weight, Fat & Inches:
50 bodyweight squats
No rest and immediately followed by
25 dumbbell squats
Up to 60 seconds rest and repeat until 2-4 rounds are completed.
25-50 Chest flies
No rest and immediately followed by
Press-ups to failure
Up to 60 seconds rest and repeat until 2-4 rounds are completed.
Seated reverse wood chops – up to 30 each side
No rest and immediately followed by
Abdominal crunches (up to 30) holding the dumbbells with straight arms directly above the chest
Up to 60 seconds rest and repeat until 2-4 rounds are completed.

How To Write A Fat Loss Plan
If You Want Abs You Have To Plan
Are you sick and tired of wasting your time on diets that never work? I am going to teach you how to write a simple fat loss plan and show you an example of how it should look.
I know time is precious for many of you so I will keep this short and as brief as possible.
Fat Belly Diet Guaranteed To Work In 10 Days
In order to progress it is very important to set goals. Without goals you are on a road to nowhere. You should have an end goal in mind and little goals leading up to it. The way forward is to achieve each little goal until you accomplish them all and end up where you want to be. This system is ridiculously easy and straightforward but how many people set goals properly and put effort into achieving them?
Don’t make the mistake of being over ambitious with each goal you set because that will only knock you back if you fail to reach them.
The next step then is to set a time frame for each goal. The reason for doing this is to turn on a little pressure and is also a great way to make you try harder. Only you know what results you want so it is critical you write down your own goals and plan a time frame that you think you are capable of achieving.
In my example I will show you how to stop eating the foods that contribute to more fat on the body. Lets look at Mr X; Mr X wants to lose weight and fat but the biggest obstacle that stands in his way is that he likes to eat a lot when he gets in from work and enjoys a Beer or three afterwards. This is what his last meal of the day looks like:
Pringles and different flavoured dips
Pizza or flavoured pasta or chicken pie with baked beans or jacket potato with baked beans
Ice cream
Beer
To stop eating all those foods straight away and change to healthier alternatives would be too much of a struggle for most people. People fail with diets because they try too hard too soon. Trying to do everything at once nearly always results in packing it in altogether and resorting back to old habits.
Fat Belly Diet Guaranteed To Work In 10 Days
The following method is the best way for Mr X to turn his eating habits around for his last meal of the day.
He’s got a beach holiday booked in 12 weeks time; this not only is a massive incentive for him but can also be used as a deadline for his goals. Already we have a fat loss plan unfolding in front of us.
1. The end goal is to lose weight and fat
2. The time frame is 12 weeks
3. The first goal is to change his last meal of the day to a healthier alternative, hoping it will give him the ambition to change his other meals in the same way.
This is how to breakdown the goal:
The best place to start would be to trim down the meal i.e. stop having the Pringles, ice cream and the Beers.
The second step then would be to replace the main meal for something healthier. But without getting too carried away too soon lets look at the little goals.
Week 1 – either have the Pringles or the ice cream but not both! Don’t have more than one Beer. Make sure to drink enough pure water everyday.
Week 2 – have the Pringles or the ice cream every other night but not every night and don’t have both! Have a Beer every other night but not every night!
Week 3 – have the Pringles or the ice cream just 2 nights per week preferably at the weekend. Have a Beer just 2 nights a week also preferably at the weekend. Begin to look at healthier options for the main meal and introduce at least one vegetable everyday to your diet.
Week 4 - have the Pringles or the ice cream just 1 night per week and don’t have both! Have a Beer just one night per week. Introduce another vegetable to your diet so you are eating 2 different types of vegetables a day with your main meal. Eat non-processed foods with your main meal i.e. fish or meat.
Week 5 – Stick to the above guidelines if you are finding it tough going. If you aren’t then introduce the above methods to other meals. The guidelines are to change processed foods to non-processed foods, increase protein intake from natural sources and eat mainly vegetables in place of grains.
It may be necessary to make little goals for the other meals too. In which case by the time the 12-week deadline comes around the diet will be cleaned up dramatically and all the effort will be evident when on the beach. Fat Belly Diet Guaranteed To Work In 10 Days

How To Lose The Last Few Pounds Of Fat From Your Fat Belly
Reasons why fat won't go away
Sometimes people look in the wrong places if they are trying to LOSE THE LAST FEW POUNDS OF FAT. Granted, it gets harder to keep progressing with fat loss as the weeks and months go on but it is important not to allow standards to slip. There are two main reasons why the last few pounds of fat can be difficult to get rid of. One is going back to your old ways and the other is not pushing hard enough.
If your results have slowed down recently then you need to take a good look at what you have been doing.
Are you partying until late at the weekends?
Are you having too many Beers?
Are you eating a takeaway too many?
Are you drinking enough water everyday?
Do you Skip breakfast or lunch?
Are you eating late at night?
Are you eating non-processed foods every meal?
Do you frequently miss workouts?
Are you training hard enough or just going through the motions to get it over and done with?
Is stressful situations getting on the top of you and distracting you?
Are you enjoying a work/life balance?
Are you exercising too much?
Are you focused on your goals?
Do you have a strategy in place that you follow or are you guessing?
The quicker you can organise yourself and put a plan in place the sooner you will achieve your fat loss goal. I have never met anyone who has achieved his or her fat loss goal without some sort of direction to follow. It is not only quicker to achieve results but also a lot easier.
This is what you could do if you are trying to LOSE THE LAST FEW POUNDS OF FAT. Keep a food diary and assess your strengths and weaknesses. Take action to replace your bad habits so you can move forwards with your goals. Keep an exercise journal and let a professional take a look at it to see if you are doing the right kind of program to suit your goals.
Once you have done that you could write down anything that may be stopping you from achieving your goal. Whenever I hear the words from a frustrated dieter “I can’t lose fat because of such and such”… it reminds me of all the choices we have when making decisions about health and fitness. If you want something bad enough you have to be willing to pay the price for it, no quibbles about it. It comes down to you. Whatever you think may be stopping you with progressing further you will need to write it down and then come up with a solution. It doesn’t matter if it is a long-term solution all that matters is you are taking a step forward and making a battle plan.
Wouldn’t you rather do that and one day be sat where you are now a lot happier and with a body shape you want?
Reasons why fat won't go away
Sometimes people look in the wrong places if they are trying to LOSE THE LAST FEW POUNDS OF FAT. Granted, it gets harder to keep progressing with fat loss as the weeks and months go on but it is important not to allow standards to slip. There are two main reasons why the last few pounds of fat can be difficult to get rid of. One is going back to your old ways and the other is not pushing hard enough.
If your results have slowed down recently then you need to take a good look at what you have been doing.
Are you partying until late at the weekends?
Are you having too many Beers?
Are you eating a takeaway too many?
Are you drinking enough water everyday?
Do you Skip breakfast or lunch?
Are you eating late at night?
Are you eating non-processed foods every meal?
Do you frequently miss workouts?
Are you training hard enough or just going through the motions to get it over and done with?

Fat Burning Cardio Myths
REDUCE FAT
In this post about the cardio fat burning myth I will compare the difference between cardiovascular type exercise and strength training in the effectiveness for achieving fat loss results. Just to recap cardiovascular exercises or cardio for short are activities including walking, jogging, bike riding, rowing and swimming. Strength training also known as resistance training and weight training is a type of exercise that requires the muscles to move an apposing force.
==>I WANT A DIET FOR MY FAT BELLY<==
Most people believe cardio training to be the king of fat burning activities. This assumption and undying myth continues to live on because the general public aren’t aware of the negative reactions cardio exercises can have on the body. Most people also have little knowledge of the many benefits strength training can have for burning fat.
First lets take a look at what cardio training does to your hormones. Doing cardio type exercise raises cortisol; this will stop you losing fat because cortisol is a fat storing hormone. If rising cortisol levels aren’t bad enough for fat loss goals what about cardio making you age quicker because anti aging hormones are lowered when cortisol rises.
Strength training lowers cortisol and raises your anti aging hormones.
You only burn calories whilst you are doing the cardio exercise. The more cardio you do and better you become, the more fuel-efficient you become resulting in fewer calories used.
With strength training you burn calories after the workout. This means you burn fat doing nothing because strength training is more stressful on the body and takes a number of days to recover. Metabolism, the rate your body burns calories can be raised up to 72 hours after a weight training workout.
Cardio training can make you lose muscle tone, just look at any endurance athlete especially marathon runners. They may only have 10% body fat but still look flabby.
Strength training builds shape to the muscles helping to create a pleasing aesthetic appearance.
==>I WANT A DIET FOR MY FAT BELLY<==
If the above facts don’t put you off cardio exercises for your first choice in exercise selection for fat loss then consider how much more fun and diverse strength training can be. There are many different types of functional training equipment available to make strength training challenging and different every workout without the risk of being repetitive and boring like cardio training can be.

The 15-Minute Six Pack Workout
How To Get Abs
The following method for exercising your abs in only 15 minutes involves a warm up for about 5 minutes, this could be skipping, jogging on the spot or walking. Once the body temperature is elevated gentle stretches for the tightest muscles in your body are recommended.
The aim of the workout is to:
Step 1. Perform exercise #1 - for 30 seconds
Step 2. Immediately followed by exercise #2 - for 30 seconds
Step 3. Rest for 30 seconds before repeating steps 1 to 3
Ten rounds of the above will equal a 15-minute workout.
Click here for the SIX PACK DIET
Exercise #1 – Leg Raise
Key Points: Lie down on your back; both feet should be flat with the knees bent. From this position the pelvis is rolled back pressing on your fingers or on a rolled up towel. If using a towel it should be the same thickness of your hand. The position needs to be directly at the belly button level flat against the floor.
From here both legs are raised and lowered while always keeping the back stable and stationary maintaining pressure on your fingers or towel. The knees should be kept bent and the angle shouldn’t change throughout the 30 seconds of work.
Progression: Open the angle of the knees, that will makes the leg longer and increase the workload on the lower abdominal muscles.
Exercise #2 – The Plank
Key Points: Begin lying face down on the floor with feet together and forearms on the ground, your hands should be clenched in a fist. Draw the abs inward towards your spine and squeeze the glutes (backside muscles). Lift entire body off the ground until it forms a straight line from head to toe, resting on forearms and toes. Forearms should be parallel and elbows directly below the shoulders.
Keeping the back flat and chin tucked hold the position for 30 seconds maintaining good form and slowly return to the ground.
Progression: Can be done on one leg.
Click here for the SIX PACK DIET
People in today’s society want quick fixes and want to see results instantly. In my opinion most people have forgotten the old fashioned way of what it takes to change body shape. All the health aspects that once went hand in hand with exercise have been lost in the tide of the celebrity culture. Celebrity dominant publications are not the place to get your health and fitness information from if you want real results. Quick fixes are a waste of time because they never work for anyone apart from the people making money from them. Starving the body of essential nutrients by following the latest fad diet will only end up in a big disappointment and put you off from future attempts.
There is no excuse with time constraints with this workout. It is a simple straightforward routine that will challenge you if done correctly. It can be modified in any which way you deem necessary to achieve the response you want. Don’t forget with exercise and nutrition, it is the quality and not quantity that matters. It has always been like this and always will be so you can forget searching for a quick fix and wasting your time reading about what your favourite celebrity is doing or in some cases not doing.

Learn If Genetically Modified Foods Are Creeping Into Your Diet
How To Improve Your Fat Belly Diet
When a food is genetically modified it is for the benefit of resistance against insects, herbicides or to make it taste better. No research or studies have ever been done with humans to show what genetically modified foods can do to our health so you could say humans are the guinea pigs in an ongoing experiment.
Click Here For A Fat Belly Diet
The genetic engineering that takes place can introduce allergens to the food and lower the nutritional value, for example some soybeans are genetically engineered with the genes from a brazil nut to improve the taste. It doesn’t take a scientist or doctor to realise that someone with a nut allergy could end up in serious trouble consuming this particular kind of food.
According to the book ‘Total Health Programme’ by Dr Mercola- corn is only second to soybeans for the most genetically modified crop in the U.S. This is alarming news for people with poor eating habits, as they tend to over consume corn especially as it is present in many processed foods. Processed corn products such as corn syrup, fructose, corn oil, corn meal, corn starch, dextrose, monosodium glutamate, xanthan gum and maltodextrin are widely used and commonly used as sweeteners in everyday products like soft drinks, fruit drinks, cookies, confectionary and tons of other processed foods.

Did you know commercially raised cows are fed high amounts of corn as part of their diet? Depending which country you live in will determine whether the beef on your plate lived on a diet of genetically modified corn or not. If it did you are unknowingly allowing genetically modified food to creep into your diet. This is one reason why organic and grass fed meats are much healthier and more nutritionally dense opposed to the commercially fed variety.
Some people are sceptical about the organic food movement and think it is a rip off paying more money for the same food. Always remember with organic foods you are paying for your health and not for a brand name. Organic food has always been here. There was once a time when all food was organic before modern farming practises involving chemicals, antibiotics and drugs were introduced to the food chain. It is important for you to adopt the idea of thinking about the food on your plate and whether you prefer eating natural organic food the way Mother Nature intended it to be or if you want to eat food that has been manipulated in some sort of way and can be potentially detrimental to your health.

What You Should Know About Vegetarian Diets If You Have A Fat Belly
What You Should Know About Protein If You Have A Vegetarian Diet And You Want To Reduce Fat
Today there are many vegetarians in our society as well as other groups that eliminate meat for spiritual or ethical reasons. My awareness of the high numbers of people practising a vegetarian lifestyle or some level of vegetarianism came about from doing my job as a personal trainer. I was surprised with the different misconceptions people had about EATING MEAT AND DIETING. Animal meats get bad press because of the commercial farming methods used; this is a shame because this gives all animal meats a bad name. Some people are happy to follow misconceptions and myths without backing it up through research to confirm if their motives are safe, healthy or just plain necessary. This article is for people who live a vegetarian lifestyle but who isn’t vegetarian.
If you are following a FAT BELLY DIET it is essential to eat good quality protein, but protein isn’t just protein. You have what’s classed as complete and incomplete proteins that are found in different foods. The complete proteins have all the essential amino acids and the incomplete proteins have some missing or not enough to be classed a complete protein. Complete proteins can be found in animal foods including meat, poultry, seafood, eggs and dairy. It is these complete protein foods that provide all the 8 essential amino acids. Very briefly, amino acids are the building blocks of the body and a necessary part of every cell in the body and vital for health. Specific amino acids have been linked to greater fat loss and known to correct brain chemistry deficiencies for food cravings and depression.
If you don’t consume complete protein foods such as animal foods it is very important to combine different types of plant foods to make up a complete protein to ensure you get all the essential amino acids in your diet. Anything termed essential in the diet means that it is necessary for proper functioning. As a matter of interest the other food group that is termed essential is fat, there are essential fatty acids that must be acquired in the diet or serious health problems can occur. It is handy to note that carbohydrates aren’t classed as essential but protein and good fats are!
This is where it can get difficult to lose weight and fat on a vegetarian diet. In my opinion the drawback to relying on food combing to get all the essential amino acids is that insulin resistant people would find it hard losing weight with combining different carbohydrates. What you have is a diet made up of mainly carbohydrates with little first class protein and essential fat to stabilise blood sugar levels. The reason why many vegetarians can become addicted to sweets is because of their poor blood sugar management following a high carbohydrate diet. Not an ideal habit to have if you are on a FAT BELLY DIET.
In summary it is essential to eat good quality protein everyday that provides you with all the essential amino acids for optimal health. If you decide to combine different plant foods otherwise known as carbohydrates then you need to realise these foods have an insulin provoking effect that can lead to fat storage. On the other hand if you choose to eat animal protein make sure it is organic and free range. Eating organic meats makes a massive difference to the state of your health because you are eliminating the pesticides and drugs conventional meats contain, organic meats also have more nutrients and are easier for the body to assimilate. Consider this, commercially raised cattle are one of the unhealthiest animals on the planet.

Six Things You Must Become Good At If You Want To Get Rid Of Your Fat Belly
How To Get Rid Of Your Fat Belly
“Fail to plan and plan to fail”. You can’t get truer words when it comes to achieving a goal but it’s especially true when it comes to fat loss and achieving impressive SIX PACK ABS. If you don’t know how to flatten the barriers that can stand in between you and your goal then you will never be able flatten your belly and see your six-pack. The key to reaching your target is to begin with a day at a time and build upon your foundation a tier at a time.
+of+05082009264.jpg)
The ingredients you need for a perfect day not only starts with the ingredients that go in your mouth but with your work, life, movement and sleep balance within a 24-hour period. Some will swear that there isn’t enough time in a day to follow a healthy lifestyle while others will blame work or family commitments for their lack of commitment. Well I’ve heard every excuse and its time to face up to your responsibilities and accept that you are the master of your destiny. There will always be someone with a busier life than yours that achieves the results you dream about, the only difference is they take action. Lets take a look at what action needs to be implemented for the best results.
#1- Time Management
Time management is one of the most important steps you must become good at if you want to shift stubborn body fat and see your SIX PACK ABS. For example, if you don’t have time to eat a proper breakfast every morning then you need to get up early. If you can’t do that because you need more sleep then you need to go to bed earlier and so on. I’ve heard every excuse and there is always an answer if you want something bad enough. The more organised you are the more addictive it becomes and the more energy it gives you. There is no better feeling than having free time to do the things you love and no worse feeling than wasting your time.
#2- Shopping
Decide what foods you need and how you are going to shop for them. You could either shop every few days or even once a month. The Internet is a brilliant option and convenient for a lot of people because it can save heaps of time. For a lot of your shopping such as non-fresh items you could get away with shopping once a month. For other items like organic fruit, vegetables and meats you could have them delivered to your door, check with your local farm shop to see if they deliver. All it takes is one click of a mouse button or at most one visit per week.
#3- Making The Kitchen Work For You
Make sure you have all the useful appliances in your kitchen to help you with food preparation. Store food in glass or ceramic containers, toxins can leach into the food when using plastic or cans. You may decide to freeze leftovers to be used for a weeknight after work, don’t forget to label meals that you freeze for future reference.
#4- Meal Planning
Decide what you are going to eat for the week ahead, use pen and paper once a week to plan and rotate your meals. You may only need to do this once before establishing a routine. By doing this you will know what to shop for and there will be less chance of rubbish finding its way into your cupboards and fridge. You will also be able to prevent yourself from eating the same meals everyday.
#5- Exercising Smart
The wrong training routine for your goal is still going to be unproductive even with the right nutrition and healthy lifestyle. Seek professional help to make sure you are making the most of your time and effort by doing the right kind of exercises to help you achieve SIX PACK ABS. Putting together a routine and fitting it into your week is something that can be flexible and doesn’t necessarily need to be carved in stone. All that matters is making sure you train intense doing the right workout 3 times a week.
#6- Resting
People overlook the importance of sleep in their quest for better aesthetics and health. I was guilty of this up to a few years ago; I would always go to bed after midnight regardless of what time I had to be up the next morning. The more I studied about health & lifestyle the more I learnt about the body and its sleep/wake cycle called the circadian rhythm. Before the invention of light bulbs our bodies didn’t know any different other than falling asleep at sunset and waking at sunrise, this is the way Mother Nature intended our bodies to operate and the reason why our hormones are naturally released at certain times throughout the day. If we disrupt this cycle by going to bed late, watching TV or staring at a computer screen late at night we stimulate awakening hormones that rob the body of repairing itself and eventually leading to health problems.

Before the invention of light bulbs our bodies didn’t know any different other than falling asleep at sunset and waking at sunrise, this is the way Mother Nature intended our bodies to operate and the reason why our hormones are naturally released at certain times throughout the day. If we disrupt this cycle by going to bed late, watching TV or staring at a computer screen late at night we stimulate awakening hormones that rob the body of repairing itself and eventually leading to health problems.
