How To Get A Six Pack Watching TV

Fat Belly Diet
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 a FAT LOSS 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. For FREE Fat Loss information everyday for 10 days visit FAT LOSS EVERY 10 DAYS

Fat Loss Nutrition For You And The Bodybuilder

Fat Belly Diet

There’s a fine line between a FAT BELLY DIET and building a good physique. Some bodybuilders have reverse anorexia and will compromise the quality of food just to get their desired daily calorie intake in the hope it will pack on the muscle. It’s not that easy and is one of the many misconceptions that dominate the thinking of a typical bodybuilder, especially the beginner. Calories are not just calories; there are bad calories and good calories and even the good calories need to be properly balanced for best results. The same diet can have an effect on different people in different ways, each and every one of us is unique in the ability to digest and assimilate nutrients. Our individual genetic make up determines this.

Bodybuilding magazines are guilty of publishing FAT BELLY DIET after diet with the inclusion of stacks of food supplements for building muscle and stripping the fat. Sometimes you have to look hard to see food on the list because there are so many recommended shakes and tablets for this and for that. Nutrients from natural food take a back seat with the recommendations you see in these mainstream magazines.

The bodybuilding-publishing world gets the reader to believe that certain supplements are essential and the most important aspect of a bodybuilder’s daily nutritional intake. These days there are food supplements crafted to any goal. It’s not hard to realise there is a hidden agenda to these magazines; they are all trying to sell something. If the magazine isn’t financially connected to the food supplements recommended you could bet they need the advertising revenue to stay afloat.

The quality of nutrition will determine the speed of progress with a FAT BELLY DIET and the amount of results you achieve with it. Lifting weights doesn’t and can’t turn a bad food into a good food. It’s impossible to reverse the effects of a bad diet with exercise. It is also impossible to cancel out the bad effects of poor nutrition with food supplements. Food supplements are designed to supplement the diet and not take over it. A few of the top brands can be beneficial for convenience and nothing much more. A closer look at these supplements and you would find a list of cheap processed ingredients mixed with artificial sweeteners. My recommendation is no more than 10% of your daily diet should be from food supplements. Food from organic and free-range sources is far more superior then powdered and tablet concoctions.

Mind The Diet Without Starving The Mind

Fat Belly Diet

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 a Fat Belly Diet 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 can't be helping you fight the fat and shouldn't be included in your Fat Belly Diet. 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.

Food Shopping For Six Pack Abs

Fat Belly Diet

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 essential for a Fat Belly Diet. 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

Sugarsnap peas

It’s not always about calories but about the quality of those calories and how much of those calories your body can digest. 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.

Missing Link To A Fat Belly Diet

Ever wondered why Fat Belly 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 a successful Fat Belly Diet are all free. They are overlooked by the quick fix culture but very powerful when used and applied to your goals.

Alaskan Salmon And Fat Loss


I watched an amazing documentary last week about Alaskan Salmon and the journey they make during their natural life. From the streams of Alaska to the Pacific Ocean and back, right back to the place they were born. Over six million years of evolution have produced a fish that can discover its way back from the vastness of the Pacific Ocean right back to the place it was born so it can spawn. They have to return to the waters they were born so their eggs can survive and their species can carry on the cycle of life. What makes this story more impressive is the journey the Salmon needs to take to get to the spawning ground; they have to swim up rugged rivers with miles of rapids and even waterfalls to leap. The problems doesn’t end there, natural predators are waiting to eat the salmon along the way. Even the predators have gone through their own period of evolution to develop successful hunting methods so they can eat and stay alive.

You may be thinking what has this got to do with a Fat Belly Diet or reaching health and fitness goals. The reason I am telling you this is because we are all on a journey of evolution. Each of us is on the ladder of evolution in a personal sense and as part of the human race. In other words if you are trying to accomplish fat loss goals or thinking about it you may have to try different approaches before you get what you want. Look at the evolution of the Salmon and think about the diverse approaches they must have tried and failed at before they could reach their spawning ground. This can be related to any area of our lives. Whenever something doesn’t work out in the human world it is easy to give up and settle with what we have. This doesn’t happen in nature because if a living thing needs to change for its survival and fails it would cease to exist simple as that, it has no choice unlike us humans have. Maybe the privilege of choice is the downfall of human health. Present living standards have disconnected many of our survival abilities and the high level of perseverance that goes hand in hand with it. We no longer need to apply effort if we don’t want to; this gives us the option to opt out if we fall at many of the hurdles with weight and fat loss.

I think we can discover a great deal when observing the evolution of the Salmon and other creatures that share this planet with us. A human diet is one area we can learn a lot from when looking back over our own short evolution period. Consider how long we have had surplus calories readily available and the de-vitalised versions of these calories compared to the quality our ancestors were used to. Not forgetting the vast artificial concoctions in our modern day food chain that has only been with us at the blink of an eye. It isn’t surprising obesity is born out of this development in our evolution and a host of other diseases. It certainly gives you food for thought for a Fat Belly Diet. What are you waiting for?

7 Reasons Why Low Calorie Diets Don't Work

Fat Belly Diets, the true cost of low calorie diets

Did you know you have to eat to lose weight? You need calories to burn calories or your metabolism will slow down (metabolism is the rate your body burns calories). Low calorie diets cause many people to be MAL-nourished, even obese people. You also need to detox for healthy weight and fat loss. Living on processed foods will make the body toxic and difficult if not impossible to digest essential nutrients. If you don’t get nutrients you get hungry, if you get hungry you eat more, if you eat more you won’t lose weight and fat.

Taking steps with food choices and a fat belly diet is the only way to help build health and achieve your optimum weight. Following are consequences associated with skipping meals and not eating enough calories.

1. You don’t learn anything from dieting. All you learn is how to imprison yourself for months and even years. Nutrition is a lifestyle that needs to be taught so it can be applied for a lifetime!
2. You increase the number of fat storing enzymes each time you diet.
3. You decrease the number of fat burning enzymes each time you diet and create an increase in the size of fat cells.
4. You decrease lean body mass and basal metabolic rate. Each diet makes it harder to restore normal basal metabolic rate.
5. You create insulin and blood sugar handling problems, which most of the time creates fat storage and hypoglycemic symptoms = cravings!
6. With dieting which is a stress, more cortisol is released. When cortisol goes up, insulin goes up to protect the body. Both of these are converted to glucose and into fat = fat storing hormones.
7. Most people decrease the amount of good fat when dieting. Fat deficiency causes fat cravings, the kinds of fat you find in junk food.

The 7 reasons above why not to starve to achieve weight and fat loss are pretty scary. You can’t influence Mother Nature, in other words no matter how hard you try to drop a dress size or transform the way you look you can’t do it by reducing calories because evolution didn’t build us this way.
