Lose Your Body Fat And Bloated Belly

We know that nothing is more embarrassing than a bloated belly.


But did you know that its mostly your diet that causes the dreaded "bloated belly"?

Well, it is, and I asked world-famous nutritionist, Isabel De Los Rios how to get rid of it.

We both agreed that fruits and vegetables need to a part of your diet if you want to get rid of the belly bloat.

You also need to drink more water, as recent research found that drinking 2 cups of water before meals helped men and women lose more weight when on a diet.

The researchers found that it helps you eat less. Very simple, isn't it? That's one simple strategy we can all benefit from.

Another way to eat less is to have a small snack of almonds. This sounds like the opposite thing to do if you want to lose weight, but again, research shows it helps you lose weight and control appetite.



So here's your plan:

1. Drink 2 cups of water before meals.

2. Snack on 1oz of almonds between meals (that's 22 almonds). Drink some Green Tea as well.

3. Eat more fruits and vegetables.


These three simple steps will help you lose fat and that bloated belly!

Isabel also suggests eliminating "wheat" based products for 2 weeks.

In some people (especially women) wheat products might produce digestive discomfort, gas and bloating.

So decrease your consumption of breads, cereals, crackers and any foods with "wheat" on the label (whole-wheat or otherwise) for 14 days and see if that helps.

Isabel is one of the most passionate nutritionists I know, and even I follow her guidelines to help me keep my body fat so low.

By the way, she's also an advocate of eating organic meat, so if you don't want a vegetarian diet, you'll love her meal plans.

Lose Unwanted BodyFat 3 Keys To Lose Stomach Fat

Stomach Fat - 3 Key's For Lean Rock Hard Abs


Okay you are tired of looking down and not seeing your shoes. That overabundance of stomach fat has
finally got your attention. So now what? Hopefully you know that to get rid of your belly fat, hitting the floor and doing endless crunches and sit-ups is not the answer. Any knowledgeable fitness expert will tell you that crunches and sit-ups aren't enough to get rid of stomach fat and get lean rock hard abs.

Instead you must focus on your diet along with fat burning exercises, cardio and strength training workouts to develop your abs and burn stomach fat.

* Let's Talk Healthy Eating *

It is very important to keep yourself well hydrated, drink plenty of water daily. Next, focus on consuming enough protein to keep your appetite under control, supplemented with healthy fats for satiety and fruits and veggies for energy. It is important, however, that you reduce your calorie intake, because regardless of the food you eat, if you are consuming more than you burn, you aren't going to lose stomach fat and have lean rock hard abs.

By eating less, you can cut the fat that settles in your midsection. Losing this stomach fat is a
matter of watching your diet closely. Failing to eat a good balance of carbohydrates, proteins, and fat
can wreak havoc on your plans to get flat lean rock hard abs, so monitor your diet closely.

* Fat Burning Exercise - Cardio *

With your diet under control, it's time to focus on the right fat burning workout. Working on your abs
means doing both cardio and strength training exercises. The most effective cardio requires only a few
quality sessions a week of high intensity activities such as interval training, kettlebell exercises, sprints, jump rope and hill running. You want to tackle anything your body is not efficient at.

High intensity fat burning cardio will deliver results a thousand times faster than plodding along on the treadmill at a moderate pace for an hour. So crank that intensity up for twenty to forty seconds and then back it down again for another minute. Repeat this process eight to ten times and you'll have a workout that'll shed that stomach fat in no time.

* Strength Training Equals Fat Burning *

Never discount the power of strength training for fat burning 2-3 days a week. Strength training exercises are one of the best ways to boost your metabolic rate, which will then help you burn off body fat all day long. Do keep in mind though that all strength training activities are not created equal.

For example, a heavy set of squats is going to ramp up the metabolism (and work your abs) a great deal
more than a set of bicep curls.

To utilize this principle, include in your strength training so that only core, compound lifts, fat burning exercises are included. This would include movements such as squats, lunges, deadlifts, bent over rows, shoulder presses, and the bench press.

Not only will this provide you with a far better whole body fat burning workout without wasting too
much time on useless exercises, but it will also help you burn stomach fat and get lean rock hard abs to get the look you want.

These are the 3 key components to lose stomach fat and get lean rock hard abs, make sure to alternate
your exercises every few weeks or so because your abdominal muscles adapt to change very quickly. And,
as soon as they adapt, you are going to stop seeing results. By keeping your abs guessing as to what's coming, you keep the results coming as well.

To lose stomach fat, you'll need a comprehensive program complete with detailed meal plans and fat burning exercise workouts. Find reviews of some of the best products designed to help you lose body fat, stomach fat and get lean rock hard abs fast at ===> Fat Burning Diets And Workouts

Lose Unwanted BodyFat A Fat Burning Interview

A Fat-Loss Interview with Charles Staley from Escalating Density Training and Craig Ballantyne of Turbulence Training. You can click the links for my reviews of each program. Pay close attention to this interview there is some great fat loss and muscle building information here.


We covered the behavior-modification end of the equation quite thoroughly, and I think you’ll find some valuable nuggets below, especially if you’ve got a few pounds to lose…

---

CB: Charles, what is your general fat loss training philosophy for the average man and woman?

CS: Find and implement a sustainable system for increasing metabolism and building muscle. This involves both training and nutrition, but under the surface, the habits and behaviors that support them. I’ll take a modest but sustainable approach over an aggressive but non-sustainable approach any day of the week.

Long-term fat loss is about your everyday habits and patterns - how much you move and what you eat, specifically.

It’s worthwhile to take an honest assessment of your habits, both in the gym and in the kitchen, and then sit down and do some hard thinking. Many people are not honest with themselves about how much they eat and move - they tend to underestimate the former and overestimate the latter.

---

CB: Did you come across any research or training methods in the past year that you added to improve your programs?

CS: God I wish I had! I really don’t think there’s anything new out there in terms of methodologies, nothing significant anyway.

I think collectively, we basically know how to train and eat. But I’m always interested in finding ways to implement all the boring, tried and true methods that are well understood, but under-appreciated and implemented. Honestly, it’s hard to circumvent the law of thermodynamics (which is why it’s a “law” as opposed to a “theory” or “rule of thumb”). If you consistently expend more energy than you take in, you’re pretty much assured of losing bodyfat.

Incidentally, you’ll always find people who swear to their dying day that they burn more than they eat and still can’t lose weight. From my experience, what happens is that people will eat in a hypocaloric manner for maybe 4-5 days, and then binge for a day, and so on. The binge tends to be just enough to cancel out the previous deficit, but they don’t remember the binge - they only remember the “good” days so to speak.

---

CB: In your experience, what’s the biggest obstacle that men and women need to overcome to succeed with their training – no matter what their goals? Does it differ between men and women?

CS: Women really have it tough today, let’s start with that.

There are a lot of obstacles, but first and foremost among them is the fact that western civilization is literally designed to make you fat. It’s never been easier to eat massive amounts of calories and avoid movement than it is today.

And it’s a catch-22 because the fatter people get, the more than society adapts to support and enable fat people. Which makes it easier and more socially acceptable to be fat. More than ever before, being lean means being on the fringe of society. And THAT’S probably the most significant obstacle to losing fat.

---

CB: How do you “get inside someone’s head” to motivate clients who are either just starting out (and dreading it) or at a fat loss plateau (and thinking of abandoning it all)?

CS: I think you’ve gotta get REAL clear about not only where you’re trying to go, but more importantly WHY. A goal is only a benchmark, or an indicator, that tells you if you’re moving closer to your ideal life, your ideal self, right?

I mean, when you say “I wanna lose 20 pounds” or “I wanna bench 405” or whatever it is, there’s an underlying assumption that if you achieve that goal, your life will be better somehow.

But a lot of people never really stop to ask themselves if that assumption is accurate or not. Are you really going to be happier is you lose 20 pounds? It seems that way when you initially conceive the goal, because your motivation is high and you haven’t done any work yet. But 6 weeks of training, calorie deprivation, and no ice cream (OK, that’s just a personal problem, sorry!) and you’ve lost 20 pounds but maybe you’re not so happy.

At the “inspiration phase” as I call it, people find it easy to visualize the positive outcomes of their goals, but it’s not as instinctive to also ponder the downside - the work, deprivation, self-discipline, pain, whatever it is. This is why any diet works for the short term. But the problem is, once you pass through the inspiration phase and enter the “perspiration phase,” reality sets in and most people just fall off the wagon.

---

CB: And Charles, what training methods have you found to be just plain fun and worthwhile incorporating into a program for variety, while still getting results?

CS: First off, don’t be a perfectionist and don’t be rigid. Variety is the key word for long-term fat loss, not only for psychological reasons, but also for physiological reasons- particularly injury prevention.

I tell people to just move - ride the bike, walk the dog, do some hill sprints, play recreational sports, lift, do it all. I also always urge people to get involved in competition on some level. When you put yourself on the line, you find out what you’re really capable of- it’s a mirror on yourself in many ways.

And by no means do you need to be great or even competitive - I compete in master’s Olympic weightlifting (in the comedy division!) and believe me, the current National champions have nothing to worry about!

---

CB: And finally, tell us about the EDT system and how one might use it in the context of a fat loss program?

CS: Well, fat-loss is what EDT was designed for. It’s quick, fun (if you enjoy pain that is) and purpose-driven. Performed 3 days a week, EDT workouts form the core of a successful fat-loss program, because it’s essentially a cross between weights and aerobics - it features the best of both worlds. In fact, when people start EDT, they invariably stop whatever cardio they were previously doing. It’s that efficient.

---

Hope enjoyed the interview and some good ideas for your fat loss training! And if maybe EDT is not the program for you but you're still interested in some excellent fat loss information and programs, I highly recommend Craig's "Turbulence Training" program.
It's very good stuff - science-based and real-world proven.

Is Diet More Important Than Exercise?

I don't know if I ever showed you this video before about "diet vs exercise"

If you haven't watched it, you can see it at the end of these diet tips.

It points out the futility of the cardio confessional and shows you that diet is much more important than exercise.

And since diet is more important than exercise, I've decided to spend a lot time sharing nutrition tips this week, starting with these 3 diet secrets:

1) Your nutrition program doesn't have to be extreme.

Hold up on the insane New Year's changes. Make sure the nutrition plan you've chosen is sustainable. Simple diet changes go a lot farther than you might think.

Why not just eat more whole, natural foods rather than trying to go on an impossible-to-stick-to ultra-low carb extreme plan?

2) Get the junk out of the house.

If it's in your house, you'll eat it...and trust me, this goes for me too. When I visited my mom's house for Christmas, I ate all the chocolate I could find. But I keep it out of my house here in the big city.

So whatever your weakness is, keep it out of your home.

Success is that simple.

3) Fill in the "diet-killing" gap.

For some folks, the diet-killing gap is between work and dinner. For others, it's between dinner and bedtime, but for almost everyone, there is a point in the day when we suffer from mindless eating.

So make sure you have alternatives...as soon as you come home from work, cut up vegetables and dip them into hummus. That will keep you full on a small amount of calories.

After dinner, if you need something sweet, stir up chocolate protein powder into a small bit of plain yogurt. That will satisfy you.

BONUS Tip #1 - Chew your food 20 times before swallowing. Most people eat so fast they only about 5 times. You'll really notice a difference and you'll slow your eating so you feel full.

I was reminded of this tip while reading a book called, "Mr America", about one of the first ever fitness gurus.

BONUS Tip #2 - Have a bowl of broth-based vegetable soup before a meal. American researcher Barbara Roll has published a lot of studies showing that this will help you reduce the food you eat. Surprisingly,
consuming just water doesn't seem to do the same trick.




Thanks to Craig Ballantyne of Turbulence Training for the video.

Lose Unwanted BodyFat By The Numbers Guide

How to Lose Fat

To lose fat, you must take in fewer calories than what it takes to maintain your current bodyweight.


Eating below that maintenance level will create what is called a "caloric deficit". This simply means you are eating less than you are burning.


The next step is to add in some exercise. Exercise will increase the size of your caloric deficit without eating less food.

Keep up this diet and exercise induced caloric deficit and you will lose fat!
Here is an example of the math:

2200 calories/day your maintenance level
- 500 calories/day eating less than your maintenance level
- 500 calories/day exercising and moving around
_______________
1200 calories/day

Through diet and exercise together you have created a caloric deficit of 1000 calories.

One pound of fat contains 3500 calories, therefore if you have a caloric deficit of 1000 calories a day for seven days you will burn 7000 calories and, theoretically, lose 2 pounds of fat!

Notes:


A good rule of thumb to start with is to eat ten times your bodyweight in calories (e.g. if you weigh 150 pounds, eat 1500 calories).


The best rate for losing fat is one to two pounds per week. Any more and you are probably losing too much muscle as well. People who are extremely overweight can lose fat faster, though, as they have much more to lose.


In the real world, these numbers are simply estimates. There is no way to control everything you eat or your metabolic rate or exactly how many calories you burn during exercise. Follow the principles and don't concern yourself too much with the numbers.

Vegetables Fight Stomach Fat

Can vegetables help in your fight against stomach fat? Well hopefully we all know that vegetables should be a part of your fat burning diet. You do right? Ok I thought I lost you there for a minute.

So while reading Mike Geary's book, The Fat Burning Kitchen, I was reminded why my Mom always told me to eat my broccoli. I bet your Mom did too? But I bet you don't know WHY your Mom told you that?

Well broccoli is apart of a class of vegetables that contain very specific phytonutrients that actually help to fight against stomach fat. If you already picked up Mike's book then you know about how certain chemicals in our food supply and our environment, such as pesticides, herbicides, and certain petrochemicals from household cleaners, cosmetics, etc can act as xenoestrogens.

Xenoestrogens are chemicals that you are exposed to that have an estrogenic effect and excess exposure can cause hormone balance disruptions for both men and women. So these can wreak havoc in the body whether you're a male or female.

These estrogenic chemicals that we are exposed to on a daily basis can stimulate your body to store stomach fat, along with many other problems.

So here's where this specific class of vegetables comes in
handy...

One of those cool tricks that Mike teaches in his Fat Burning Kitchen program is that cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, etc. contain specific and unique phytonutrients such as indole-3-carbinol
(I3C) that help to fight against these estrogenic compounds...

And by fighting against these stomach fat stimulating estrogenic chemicals, this can help you fight against abdominal fat! (Which also helps optimizing testosterone levels for muscle gains).

I knew my Mom was smart but I never knew she was THAT smart! I wish I ate more broccoli growing up...ha

When I was visiting Mike last summer in Colorado he showed me how to enjoy brussell sprouts too... He would melt some grass-fed cheese on them and some garlic and they weren't bad!

In case you haven't picked up your copy yet, Mike gives away at least 12 other specific foods, teas, spices, etc that help to combat the xenoestrogens and can help you to burn stomach fat faster.

Useless Fat Burning And Muscle Building Exercises


4 Common But Useless Fattburning Exercises

Good Morning and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,

I have a very good post for you today from Jon Benson. Not all exercises are created equal, some that you may have been doing for years are not necessarily the best way to go.

You may be wasting your time in the gym or at home if you are trying to shape your body or get rid of bodyfat.

Most people are. That is when it comes to exercise for getting rid of bellyfat and getting into better shape.

I was in the gym today (nothing new... ; ) and I saw all 4 of these exercises being performed by various gym members (again... nothing new.)

And they are useless for 99% of the people on the planet.

Here they are...

----------------------------------------------------------------------|

USELESS EXERCISE 1: Walking Dumbbell Lunges

----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Okay ladies, this one is for you... although I see guys do this exercise as well.

This is where you take a pair of dumbbells and kneel with one leg, then the other, and so-on, walking around the gym as you go.

The idea behind this exercise is to work the butt, and to some extent the thighs... but it's a joke. It's something invented by trainers who should know better.

If you want to build and tone your butt, exercise one leg at a time. Lunges are a great exercise for this, but save your energy. Do them on a Smith Machine or with a barbell. Work one leg at a time, too. Do not alternate legs. This just wears you out aerobically before it has a chance to get to your glutes.

Here's how I perform lunges: On a Smith Machine, with pretty heavy weights... one leg at a time. I will do 2-3 sets, or do them in my 7 Minute Body-style workout fashion. I will finish one leg (and one butt cheek) before moving to the other leg.

Why? Again, to focus on the muscle more intensely and to avoid turning a leg/butt workout into a cardio session.

Jon Benson covers exactly how to work the butt area for the best results in 7 Minute Body and 7 Minute Muscle, found right here:

click.here ----- > 7 Minute Muscle

----------------------------------------------------------------------|

USELESS EXERCISE 2: The Sit-up

----------------------------------------------------------------------|

I'm shocked that people still think sit-ups done the old-fashioned way actually work the abs. Even worse, most people have been fooled into believing this actually helps get rid of bellyfat.

Nonsense. Bellyfat is burned off when you have a good nutrition plan and through general exercise, not using exercises for the abs. Ab exercises are fine, but guess what?

I never train my abs more than 3-5 minutes. Today my ab workout took 3 minutes and 12 seconds to complete. And my abs are sore!

But without the nutrition plan, forget it... I'd never SEE my abs at all. I'd just have a nice wall of muscle with a bunch of flab covering it up.

The best nutrition plan for abs is The Every Other Day Dietplan, found here:

click.here ----- > Every Other Day Diet

The best exercises to do for the actual ab muscles are hanging leg raises, done slowly, crunches (if you do them right)... and that's really all you need.

----------------------------------------------------------------------|

USELESS EXERCISE 3: The Bench Press

----------------------------------------------------------------------|

I'm going to get a lot of flack from the guys out there who love to bench, but I'm here to tell you that this exercise for bodyshaping is all but worthless.

Why? Because most people are not built right body-wise to bench press on a flat bench with a barbell. I am not, that's for sure.

Bench presses work if you have short arms, a relatively short torso, and your shoulders are genetically strong.

Protect your shoulders and really work your chest by doing incline dumbbell presses with your palms facing OUT, not in toward your head. This protects the rotator cuff, a part of the shoulder that is often injured using barbell bench presses.

Combine this with a good cable fly or press movement and you're set. Again, you only need about 7-14 minutes of chest work tops to get the job done.

----------------------------------------------------------------------|

USELESS EXERCISE 4: Most Cardio Exercises

----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Yep... saved the best for last.

Here's a fact: Most cardio (bike, treadmill, glider, whatever) is a waste to time... UNLESS you do it at the right time with the right nutrition plan.

The calories you burn from cardio will be easily negated simply by eating a bagel! Hardly effective for getting rid of bodyfat. Weight training and/or resistance training at home or with your body weight, as covered in 7 Minute Muscle, is your best bet for exercise that burns-off mega-calories and keeps on burning long after the exercise session is over.

Here's how to use traditional cardio wisely:

1. Do it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach;
2. Keep your heart rate down to 75% of your max (220 minus your age x .75 will give you this number, at least approximately);
3. "Burst" for 2-3 minutes in your session up to 85-90% of your max heart rate.
4. OR, do cardio right after weight or resistance training when your heart rate is already elevated and your blood sugar is lower. Your body burns blood sugar first during exercise.

Cardio for most people only needs to be performed 3-4 times a week for 20 minutes. The only time I break this rule is when I want to get my bodyfat below 10%. Then I will do more, but only using the rules above.

Hope this saves you a ton of time with your workouts.

Enjoy your holidays!

Fat Burning Workouts Increase Your Intensity For Faster Fat Loss


Let's get to the facts losing excess bodyfat is a challenge. Most people never get the results that they hope for. Fat burning workouts are an essential part of losing belly fat. Speaking of your workouts are you doing too much or not enough? And what about your intensity levels during your workouts?

There are essentials that must be part of any fat burning workout (and it isn't doing 1,000's of crunches or tricep kickbacks).

To burn fat at the highest rate possible I'm sure you know nutrition and healthy eating is number one. To get rid of excess bodyfat you must be in a calorie deficit. If you are able to burn more calories then you take in, then you lose fat. The more intense your fat burning workouts are the more calories you burn and the more weight you can lose.

Let's talk intensity in your fat burning workouts. Do you workout out with a full charge ahead intensity? or is it more of just going through the motions? You would be surprised at the lack of intensity I see in some peoples fat burning workouts.

Everyone is different most of us are not world class athletes able to stick with high intensity fat burning workout. Does that mean they have failed? No, but I also know that most of us are capable of more intensity than we think. Look if you are a beginner and out of shape you aren't capable of the intensity of a seasoned trainer.

Let me give you an example. Let's talk Tabata Training. Doing a pure Tabata workout 20 seconds on 10 seconds off for 8 sets might be the most intense fat burning workout there is. Without being very well conditioned can anyone do a full scale tabata workout? No. So does that mean you shouldn't do them? No, scale it back a little as an example, do 20 seconds on 30 seconds off. Every workout decrease your rest times (this is upping the intensity).

The key to fat burning success is consistancy and being persistant what matters is that you make progress. Each person has to find the intensity level. There is no need to go insane with your training.

As I mentioned before some people are able to go through much more intense workouts, then they actually are. Intense fat burning workouts also mean you can get better results while spending less time in the gym. Most importantly high intensity training provides greater benefits not only for losing excess bodyfat but also for your heart health.

And let's keep in mind as important as your fat loss workouts are the real key is healthy eating. Junk food junkies will never cut it. By having a clean diet you not only take a big step up but a healthy diet will increase your energy levels.

3 Unusual Fat Loss Tips

[ Editor's Note: Fitness author Jon Benson shared this letter with me and gave me permission to share it with you. ]

You know what?

I like "weird."

I've always been a bit on the fringe side of the fence if you know what I mean.

A bit of a rebel.

So were guys like Einstein, Mozart, and Picasso. Not that I'm putting myself into their category of genius by any stretch... but I love their approach to life.

BE BOLD...OR GO HOME.

Makes sense to me. This life it too darn short for anything less than being bold.

That means taking some risks here and there. That means taking action while the others are content to sit on the couch being the same person they were yesterday.

And the day before...

And the month before...

And the year before.

Do you want to live your years like that? Or do you want to dive into life? Be the greatest "you" possible?

Then be a bit of a rebel.

Here's some "rebel tips" for fatloss I think you'll enjoy...

REBEL TIP 1
Flip The Food Pyramid Upside-down

The USDA's Food Pyramid is an utter joke. It's origins stink up the joint, let me tell you.

First, the grain industry was in a pinch when the Food Pyramid was created. And wouldn't you know it... the grain industry increased their "contributions" (read: bribes) to certain politicians to get placement atop the pyramid... or in this case at the very bottom. The "foundation" if you will.

Just think about this for a moment:

The USDA wants you to eat (gasp) MORE starch than vegetables? More bread than fruits, lean meats, and hormone-producing fats?

Are they NUTS??

Yes... they are nuts. (Which, by the way, are no where near the foundation... nuts, that is.)

You'd be better off flipping the sucker upside-down.

That would look like this:

40% of your cals from healthy fats 30% of your cals from protein 30% of your cals from carbs

Roughly, that is.

Sounds... rebellious, right? Well it is.

Too bad I have the science (and the abs) to back it up.

REBEL TIP 2
Cardio Is Not Smart-ee-o

At least the way the so-called "experts" want you to do it.

Look: This isn't rocket science. Just walk into any gym...take a look at the folks who only do cardio work for 45-60 minutes every day.

Do they look any different from year to year?

Let me save you some time: NO. They do not.

Cardio (unless you are into endurance sports) is a waste of energy done this way. First, it increases your carbohydrate cravings. For most people that's not a good thing. Why? Because cardio at this pace burns mostly SUGAR, not bodyfat.

What do you want to burn?

Exactly. Bodyfat.

Finally, cardio is no where near as efficient as resistance training at dissolving bodyfat... and certainly not even CLOSE to resistance training when it comes to shaping lean muscle and getting the look all these cardio bunnies are after.

Now, I 'do' have a rebel cardio trick... and it takes 9-15 minutes 2-3 times a week to perform.

That's it. And you get ALL the benefits heart-wise of long-session cardio.

Combine that with some brisk walking and my overall fitness plan and presto: No more bodyfat.

Here's what is cool: I put my new in-home version of this resistance-based workout online for a few days at a major discount... but it's only for people who pick up this:

Unusual and Effective Fat Loss Methods<-- click.

This is completely illustrated with photos too... and you do not need anything but resistance bands and perhaps some cheap dumbbells to do this in-home. Or you can use the gym-based workouts (included with videos.)

Train like this just 3-5 days a week and you can kiss long, boring cardio goodbye.

REBEL TIP 3
Do Not Overwork Your Abs

Here's a mistake I see most people make in the gym: They do endless sets of crunches, leg raises, and (gasp again) sit-ups... all geared toward seeing those toned abs they want.

Guess what?

Waste of time.

In fact, it's worse than that... it can literally shut down your recovery ability. You'll slow your progress in the gym (or at home)... and your fat-burning too.

And you may give up your plan entirely because of it.

Here's the brutal truth: Ab 'muscles' are easy to build. It only takes about 3 minutes 2-3 times a week... that's it.

( Note: I included my "3 Minute Abs" in the fitness book I just told you about... it's only for those who get EODD though... )

The muscles are not what make your stomach flatter... it's the nutrition plan folks.

You're just building muscle underneath layers of bodyfat... not good.

I do very little direct ab training. When I do it's usually 3-5 minutes tops 2 days a week. And my abs are... well... good. : )

I rely on resistance training and my special "favorite foods dietplan" to get and stay lean.

So be a rebel.

Thumb your nose at the establishment and step out on your own.

Trust me: You'll be a leader in every sense of the word if you do.

Lose That Extra Body Fat - 5 Steps To Lose Your Body fat


5 Surprising Things To Lose body Fat and Get Leaner

----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Want to have less body fat and be leaner?

Good Morning I got this from Jon benson and thought you would enjoy and learn alot about nutrition to get rid of that extra body fat.

Good deal... here's 5 tips that will help you along...

TIP 1 "Ditch The Starch"

Starches, such as rice, potatoes, some veggies, oats, etc. are
often considered "health foods."

While they can be healthy, they can also pack on stomach bodyfat
like crazy if you overdo them.

As you may know, my "Every Other Day Diet" System (EODD) actually
encourages you to eat starches and even sweets several days a week
to get rid of excess weight and body fat:

My Food-Friendly Dietplan <-- click.

( Some of you may see a survey here on how best to help with your
body fat goals. )

Well... how does THAT work?

Simple: Timing is everything.

And we take a "weekly" approach to foods rather than a daily
approach. This keeps your metabolism guessing. If your body cannot
figure out what you're up to, fat burning is that much more
powerful. And you can get by with eating starches... at least a
specific times on specific days.

But if you're not going to do EODD, then you'll have to wing it.
And the best way to wing it is to simply cut starches out entirely
for 4-8 weeks. Then slowly add them back a few days per week.

This is no where near as effective (or as fun) as the Every Other Day Diet method,
but it will get you pointed in the right direction.

TIP 2 "Can The Sodas"

This one is really hard for me. I've been hooked on diet-soda on
and off for years. When I go to get into top shape (like I am now)
I have to get rid of the diet-sodas... yes, DIET-sodas. Need I say
"real" sodas too? They are loaded with sugar.

Why diet-sodas? A recent study revealed that people who drank
diet-sodas actually increased body fat when compared to those who
drank sugar-sodas. What the... ??

Yep. Your body cannot be fooled by aspartame and chemicals. Sorry,
but that's the truth.

Here's a personal story: When I cut out the diet-sodas my body fat
drops like a rock in a pond of clear water.

And that's what you need to be drinking: A quart of pure water per
50 lbs of bodyweight a day.

I mix it with lemon and a bit of Stevia (an herbal sweetener) and
make lemonade. It's wonderful!

TIP 3 "Stay Hungry"

Arnold's first movie was "Stay Hungry" (well, after "Pumping Iron"
that is). You cannot rest on your butt and stay hungry. You cannot
think you've "arrived" and stay hungry.

It takes a special person to be hungry... and an even greater one
to stay that way.

I want you to stay hungry in two ways: In how you workout and
literally... stay a bit hungry before you go to bed. Not
"starving"... just a bit hungry.

For your workouts, I have a great solution. If you pick up Every Other Day Diet
you'll get a limited shot at "7 Minute Body"... my combination of
"7 Minute Muscle" and "The 7 Minute In-Home Workout" in one book...
and for more than half off... but that's a very limited deal. Gotta
have EODD... you'll need them both...

My Food-Friendly Dietplan <-- click.

( Some of you may see a survey here on how best to help with your
bodyweight goals. )

You see, progression -- "forced" progression -- is the best way to
stay hungry. 7 Minute Body forces you to progress without thinking
about it. Progression is built into the System.

As far as staying hungry at night? Check with your doctor and if
he/she okays it take 500mg of potassium and 1000mg of
magnesium/calcium a few hours prior to bed. This helps with the
hunger pangs. Also, keep hard-boiled eggs in the fridge. If you get
really hungry, eat one with half the yolk (toss the other half.) It
keeps me full for an hour at least.

TIP 4 "Cardio Clarity"

Hours and hours of cardio a day is not the answer. However, you can
do "light" cardio (i.e. brisk walking, or riding the bike at 60% of
your max) just to burn off calories and extra body fat. That's okay... and personally
I don't find it that boring if I'm watching a TV show. It does not interfere with my main fatloss exercise (weight training... YES!) and it burns off about 400 calories an hour.

What does work is early morning fasting cardio... but you only need 9-15 minutes. I explain the GXP Protocol (Modified) in the 7 Minute Body book, available only if you pick up EODD, and you can get it at more than half off:

My Food-Friendly Dietplan <-- click.

( Some of you may see a survey here on how best to help with your
bodyweight goals. )

TIP 5 "Get Raw At Night"

Raw veggies with your last meal and as a snack will really help your fatburning along. I started with red peppers because they're sweet. Now I eat virtually every veggie raw at night without thinking about it. Give this a shot. The fatloss is well worth it.

Yours in Fitness,

Lose Unwanted Body Fat- Men Vs Women


Lose Unwanted Body Fat- Men Vs Women


Men and women both have a hard time trying to lose body fat, but for different reasons. Let's identify the top 5 reasons why it's hard for men and women to lose body fat, and look at the 3 proven diet and exercise techniques to lose excess body fat in the shortest amount of time.

Here are 5 reasons men and women struggle with body fat, and the 3 essential techniques everyone must follow in order to burn fat and boost their metabolism.

#1) The number one reason men and women have a hard time losing excess body fat is because of poor nutrition.

Advantage: Women

Most women are better educated on food choices, but men continue to eat as if they were still playing college football. As a result, men will have a harder time losing weight because no matter how much they exercise, they are still eating too many calories. You can't "out-train a bad diet".

#2) The second reason men and women struggle with excess body fat is because their metabolism decreases over time due to muscle loss and reduced activity.

Advantage: Men

Most men have more muscle mass and get more exercise than women. Plus, more men do strength training while women neglect this key element of the fat burning equation. In fact, a recent study showed that both men and women can lose fat and gain muscle at the same time with strength training - even at age 60!

Without strenght training and interval training, women will continue to burn fewer calories per day with each passing year and will have a harder and harder time with excess body fat.

#3) Men and women will struggle with weight loss if they only rely on slow, boring cardio.

Advantage: Men

More men do interval training, and that is better than slow cardio for fat loss.

In a recent study, men and women on a year-long cardio program lost only 6-8 pounds, even though they exercised 6 days per week. In another study, a group of women did not lose weight after 15 weeks of cardio (3x's per week). In contrast, a group of women in the same study that did interval training were able to lose belly fat.

#4) Men and women have a hard time with weight loss if they don't have social support.

Advantage: Women

Most men try to do everything on their own, but weight loss is easier if you have social support. On the other hand, most women are more willing to recruit help from friends and family when on a weight loss program. Men and women can get social support from friends at work, from their family, from people at the gym, or even in an online fat loss forum.

#5) Men and women struggle with weight loss because of poor execise choices.

Advantage: Tie.

Most guys and gals just show up at the gym without a plan - or they just go for a jog and do some crunches. But without a professional plan, both men and women will not lose weight, but only waste time.

To lose the most amount of body fat in the least amount of time, both men and women should follow a program containing the following three essential elements...

A) A reduced-calorie diet of whole, natural foods.

No one needs an extreme eating plan. Just focus on eating 10-20% fewer calories than you need, focusing on vegetables, fruits, nuts, and sources of protein and healthy fats. Stay away from anything in a bag or a box.

B) Resistance training (Strength training)

Resistance training, using dumbells, bodyweight exercises, or barbells help men and women burn fat and build muscle.

C) Interval training

Short bursts of exercise, as done in interval training, work better than slow, boring cardio, and get results in half the time.

5 Diet Rules For Six Pack Abs And Burn Belly Fat


If it's fat loss, getting that six pack abs look and losing your unwanted body fat It isn't just about your workouts. There is an old adage in bodybuilding circles(forgive me if I have told you this before but it is that important.

" You Can't Out Train A Lousy Diet "

Personally, I eat 3 meals and 3 snacks per day, focusing on fruits
and vegetables, nuts, and protein (although a lot less protein than
I used to eat 7 or 8 years ago. I also eat fewer modified carbs than
I did even 2 years ago. More on that in a minute.

Listen, diet will play a huge part in helping you burn belly fat,
flatten your stomach, and get six pack abs. So it doesn't matter if
you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced, here are FIVE
fantastic nutrition rules for your abs diet today.

1) Reduce your modified carbohyrate intake. You've heard of
processed carbs before, but I want to introduce you to modified
carbs.

This is my definition for anything that is not eaten in its original
form. So reduce breads, pasta, breakfast cereal, muffins, granola
bars, and of course, any other food in a bag or a box.

When I cut out modified carbs, I lost another 1% body fat, had more
mental energy, and did not feel sleepy after meals.

I say, "Stick to fruits, vegetables, and raw nuts for carbs."

2) Eliminate bad fats, increase good fats. Eating even 1 gram of
trans fats per day could harm your heart. One of the few supplements
I use is fish oil (that I like to call, "fish juice" - ewww!). Some
folks say fish oil helps burn fat, but I don't believe it...however,
it is great for heart health.

3) Eat more protein, but not an excessive amount. Bodybuilders
recommend 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight, BUT that is
TOO MUCH if you are overweight.

Women need about 100 grams of protein, men need about 150 grams,
unless a guy literally has over 200 pounds of lean mass. Not too
many guys do, however.

4) Add more fiber to your diet by eating more fruits, vegetables,
and raw nuts.

5) Stick to your nutrition plan 90% of the time using Dr. Berardi's
90% Compliance guidelines.

How does this work?

Well, let's say you are on a 2000 calorie per day diet. To hit 90%
compliance, that means 1800 calories must come from fruits, veggies,
nuts, and protein, leaving you 200 calories "to play with".

You can either have a 200 calorie treat each day, or save up 200
calories for 3-4 days straight and have a 600-800 calorie reward
meal every 3-4 days.

Make sense? Sounds simple. Just be consistent with those 5 rules.

Plan ahead to avoid all of the obstacles life likes to throw in
your way. And if you need help, just ask on the TT Member's forum.

plans for men and women, go to:

Lose Unwanted BodyFat: Is That You Having A Heart Attack?


Find Out If You Too Are At Risk



Want to know what your real odds are of having a heart attack?

How about a stroke? Diabetes?

Okay, this isn't sounding like a positive letter... but hang in there. It gets a lot better and more positive.

I was having lunch today with my CPA and my good friend Sherry Strong. Sherry's upcoming book is a must-read. I will let you know when she's ready to release it.

Since Sherry has been here visiting me in Dallas I have learned SO much about natural food preparation and what really causes disease.

Our conversation took a turn to "doctor's tests." I think most of them are worthless. Some are vital.

It's important to know the difference.

I'm going to give you the three tests you absolutely must take if you want to help ensure your future health in a moment.

But first, let me give you Sherry's argument to my third test.

Yes, we nutritionists argue sometimes. ; )

I'll let you decide. But statically it's far more accurate than any blood test... and get this:

You can do it at home for freee.

So far, are you with me? Good.

I'm going to go in reverse order, third test to last...

The third test is simply this:

Measure your waistline. Use a tape measure and do not pull it tight. Measure right below the navel.

Write down that number in inches.

Then measure your height out of shoes in inches. Write that down too.

If your waist in inches is more than twice your height you are FOUR TIMES more likely to have heart disease.

Four times. That's more predictive than cholesterol tests by far.

And a lot less expensive to boot.

Don't just read about this test -- DO IT. I'll give you something you can do ABOUT it if you fail this test in a second.

The great news is that this is one factor that is totally within your control.

Test number two: Know your SED rate. This is an inflammatory marker in the blood.

Test number one: Know your hsCRP and LP(a) levels. Both of these can be done as one test usually. Both are inflammatory markers as well as key indicators of heart health.

Go to your doctor and ask for these three blood tests. Usually they can be done all at once. Sometimes they are separate, but they are all crucial.

If you are thin and look healthy, listen to this:

You too can be Lance Armstrong or Jim Fixx....and not know it.

Lance and Jim looked like two of the healthiest men on the planet. Lance beat testicular cancer but came within an inch of his life. Jim died after a short jog of a heart attack very young in life.

Looks can be deceiving.

This is Sherry's argument -- and she's totally correct.

That's why I give you THREE (well, actually four) TESTS.

You see, it's virtually impossible to have a normal SED rate, a normal hsCRP level and a normal LP(a) level and be at imminent risk for any of these killer diseases.

Possible, perhaps -- but almost not.

So, if you look healthy and feel like a bazillion bucks, you still need to know your levels of these inflammatory markers.

If you are overweight or obese, you totally absolutely MUST do the waist/height test as well as the others.

You see, it goes both ways.

Some obese folks test out okay at the doc's office. Their cholesterol, blood pressure, and all typical readings are okay. Rarely does a doc run an hsCRP or LP(a). And rarely do they run a SED rate.

See the importance here?

Both the fit and the unfit can be at dire risk and not even know it.

Now, here's the solution:

A low-inflammatory nutrition and training plan, along with plenty of stress-free time.

I can help you with the first two things.

The third thing -- de-stressing -- is up to you. You may want to spend 30 minutes a day doing yoga, walking, meditating, praying, or whatever calms your MIND and BODY down.

Check it out:

Lance and Jim were both doing insane amounts of exercise... so much that they demanded insane amounts of high-inflammatory foods. Foods like processed carbohydrates for example.

And they both got sick. One of them died.

My good friend Dr. Steven Chase believes that 85% of cancer is preventable.

Re-read that: 85%. And he's an oncologist -- a cancer doctor.

And you know heart disease is 95% preventable... or did you?

But all of these killers, especially diabetes, demand a low-insulin, low-inflammatory nutrition and exercise plan.

Lance and Jim had sky-high inflammatory levels from all that exercise. It was literally TOO much exercise.

That's why so many marathoners die of heart attacks. They eat inflammatory foods and engage in high-stress exercise for too long of a time.

So, what's the answer?

1. Short workouts that are intense, effective, and enjoyable. Weights and cardio both, or in-home resistance workouts will work fine.

2. Longer "soft" workouts like brisk walking that helps de-stress the body and burn more bodyfat.

3. A nutrition plan that allows for your favorite foods at the RIGHT TIME of the day but also helps you burn bodyfat without activating your body's stress-producing hormones like cortisol...cool.

Most nutrition plans are stressful. Big mistake. Stress can cause you to hold on to bodyfat. Plus stress causes inflammation.

Most workout plans are either too easy or too intense for too long a period of time. My System is super-short (7-14 minutes a day, plus walks when you can.) This is enough to build all the muscle you need plus burn bodyfat when combined with the nutrition plan.

My System's nutrition plan is ideal if you are willing to "diet" for a day or two, then enjoy a day of eating "normal" foods.

Hey, no one is perfect. Anyone who has half a brain should know that not very many people (myself included) are willing to do without their favorite foods forever.

That's silly -- and it's not necessary to burn bodyfat.

In fact, my System 'demands' that you eat these foods at certain times TO BURN MORE BODYFAT!

Wild, isn't it?

It's the System I've used for years.

It's the combination of two books:

7 Minute Muscle + Every Other Day Diet

Get them both for one low price...

Go here:

7 minute muscle <--- Helps you pass the tests

Any of my three Upgrade Kits come with both books, a full year of support from me on the Every Other Day Diet group Forum, and so many bonuses I can't list them all.

This combo is something I am so very proud to share with you.

It's the ultimate System for lowering bodyfat, increasing lean muscle, lowering insulin, lowering inflammation, and ensuring your health.

Whether you are in shape or obese, this System is one that will work for you.

Lose Unwanted Bodyfat: You Can't Out Train A Lousy Diet

I just watched this hilarious video that hammered home a invaluable nutrition lesson.


I wish I had filmed this first but my two buddies Craig Ballantyne and Brad Pilon beat me to it.


In the video Brad is out to PROVE to Craig the famous saying:


***
"You Can't Out Train A Bad Diet!"
***


The two have a Pizza VS Cardio contest!


So Craig jumps on a treadmill and cranks it up to the absolute maximum speed with a slight incline (without falling off) and starts sprinting.


While Craig is busting his butt at 11.0 MPH, killing himself to lose fat, Brad is standing beside him consuming a box of pizza.


After about 3 minutes, Brad has consumed 800 calories (half a pizza) and Craig has burned 42 calories!




LOL!


Moral of the story - you CAN NOT out train a bad diet.


========================
Here's What You Can Do...
========================


Stop following a diet period.


Use these MEAL PLANS instead.
=> Done For You Fat Loss Meal Plans
Compare any other diet book or diet method to simply following a "designed-for-you" meal plan that eliminates 100% of the guess work and you'll come out on top 100% of the time - GUARANTEED.


How do I know this?


Because the best meal plan is based on BALANCE and VARIETY which is exactly catered to your physiological make up. You can't get more personalized than that!


And the best part is, all you do is plug in a few basic measurements to determine which plan to follow and you begin your VERY NEXT MEAL today.


It's critical that you put your meal plan into action TODAY - not tomorrow, not next week or next month.


I love these plans because they are SO EASY to implement your very next meal and continue until you have developed the habits necessary to see results so that you stay motivated and finally perfect your body and health.


There are no rules to follow, complex formulas, expensive supplements, ridiculous macronutrient ratios that you need to concern yourself with.


Everything is already DONE-FOR-YOU and designed-for-you.

Busy Women Interval Fat Loss Training For Faster Fat Loss

Interval Fat Loss Training - 5 Ways To get Your Workouts done Faster.
Are You Ready to Achieve Your Goals and Get Into the Best Shape of Your Life?

Do you know the 2 biggest reasons men and women stop exercising?

1) Lack of time 2) Lack of motivation

Let's tackle "Lack of Time" today with 5 ways you can get your workouts done faster. After all, no one should spend more than 50 minutes in the gym.

Here are 5 ways to cut your workout time.

a) Supersets

I use "non-competing" superset. This means, choose two exercises for different muscle groups - and preferably completely opposite movements. For example, choose a push and a pull. That way, one muscle group rests while the other works...and you cut the rest time you need between sets.

b) Choose a better warmup strategy

Don't waste 10 minutes walking on the treadmill. Instead, use a total body circuit of bodyweight exercises as a general warmup, and then move directly into specific warm-up sets for your first two exercises.

c) Pair dumbbell and bodyweight exercises together in your supersets

This saves you time at home (you don't need to change the dumbbell weight between exercises) and in the gym (you don't need to fight for 2 sets of dumbbells).

d) Choose Intervals over slow cardio

The latest research shows more weight loss when people use intervals, and intervals take half as long to do.

e) Limit the use of isolation exercises

Pick multi-muscle exercises, such as squats, pulls, pushes, and rows. If you have time, you can squeeze in some dropsets for arms and shoulders if you want. However, if you only have 3 sessions of 45 minutes per week, isolation exercises must be the first to go.

In addition, don't spend more than 10 minutes per week on direct ab training. It's not efficient and won't give you rock hard abs alone.

Workout less, live life more,

Interval Fat Loss Training - Efficient And Effective



Interval Fat Loss Training can supercharge your fitness, boost your metabolism, burn off that extra fat and start reaching those goals that you have set yourself.

Imagine being able to lose more fat by doing less exercise? A lot more fat and a lot less exercise. Interval Fat Loss Training is the best method for losing fat.

2 New And Different Ab Exercises

Here are 2 superhero Spiderman ab exercises, a pair of unique bodyweight exercises you've probably never done before; Spiderman push-ups and Spiderman lunges/climbs.

For the Spiderman push-up, you want to start by getting into a regular push-up position. As you come down, bring your knee up to your elbow, back down, and then alternate sides.

To perform the Spiderman push-up exercise correctly, try to keep your body in a straight line and minimize the rotation in the hips. You should have good mobility in your hips which will allow you to do this exercise.

This is a very difficult push-up when done with proper form because when you bring your elbow to your knee you are going from 4 stabilizing points to only 3. Therefore, you are increasing the stress load on your body, as well as working your abdominals. A hard exercise to perform, the Spiderman push-up is a great total body exercise.

The Spiderman lunge or climb as it is more commonly known amongst my readers is another bodyweight exercise that has a tendency to cause confusion. To do this exercise, get into the top of the push-up position, keep your hips down, and bring one foot up right next to your hand. Return your foot to the original position and then alternate sides.

For beginners or those with poor flexibility, be careful not to overstretch in this exercise. For example, I would suggest to beginners to only bring your foot up half way, and as your mobility increases, slowly work your way to bringing your foot up right beside your hand. The purpose of the Spiderman climb is to keep your abs braced, and to work your abdominals for endurance.

So that is the Spiderman push-up and the Spiderman lunge, the two superhero bodyweight exercises.
