How to Lose Belly Fat

Lose Belly Fat and Look Fantastic!
How to lose belly fat is the most asked about area of the body when it comes to fat loss. Next is the hips and butt. Unfortunately, you cannot spot lose fat. Losing fat in your belly will occur proportionately with the rest of your body – unless overriding genetics skew the even fat loss.
There are things you can do to make your belly look better and skinnier. By tightening the muscles of the stomach – abdominals or abs and obliques, you will regain a healthier, better looking shape. A healthy posture of stand / sit straight, shoulders back, gut sucked in (gently tightening stomach muscles) will also slenderize your mid-section.
To lose fat you must cut back your caloric intake. Cut back no more than 500 calories a day or your body will go into “starvation mode” and slow your metabolism to store fat for a potential famine (the body anticipates this). This is a survival mechanism that saves lives during famines, fortunately famine in “advanced” societies are rare. If you are at 2500 calories a day, cut back to 2000 calories. After a couple weeks you may cut calories gradually till you find your ultimate fat loss calorie zone.
The other angle of attack to lose weight / lose fat is to increase your metabolic rate. Your metabolic rate determines how many calories you burn even when at rest, even during sleep. Exercise is good for this. To achieve an all day long metabolic rate increase, you need to push your muscles past their comfort zones. Weight lifting, body weight exercises and sprinting all increase your body’s metabolic rate. Sprinting or wind sprints also improve lung and heart efficiency. The body was not designed for running long periods of time. You will have greater health and weight loss benefits doing sprints.
The third angle of attack is eating right. Not what the willy nilly “doctors” and “experts” tell you to eat. Do you know the average life expectancy of a doctor? It is about 20 years shorter than average – going to take their advice? Remember eggs are bad – wait, eggs are good, fats and butter are bad vegetable oils and margarine are better, wait vegetable oils and margarine are hydrogenated oils – cause weight gain, inflammation, heart disease… Notice how the food pyramid keeps changing? It depends who is funding the study. What your body needs to thrive and heal is protein, fat and fruit and vegetable based carbohydrates – not grains and breads. Think cave man diet – yep, back to basics not today’s processed “foods” that are completely void of any nutrition. If it comes in a box, a bag or a can – chances are there is little nutrition left.
Stay away from junk foods like cakes, donuts, candy, soda pop, chips… Besides the nutritionless high calorie content, chemicals and HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) disrupts your body’s natural hormonal balance and causes weight gain. Preservatives and flavor enhancers (MSG) fake sugars(Aspartame), fake fats(hydrogenated oils)and soy products all cause hormonal imbalances and increase your appetite even when your stomach is full. Avoid these and weight loss will be much easier.
In summary:
- Reduce caloric intake
- Increase your metabolism through exercise
- Eat good, nutritious foods
- Avoid poisons like preservatives, colors, flavor enhancers…
Tools to help you lose belly fat:
- Appetite Suppressant
- Mindset – Can do, Must have attitude
- Diet Plan
- Every Other Day Diet
- Determination – see it through
- Routine – Healthy Lifestyle
- Visualize yourself as already at your goal
- Skinny Jeans Workout
- Chest Fat
Make positive choices everyday and you will be well on your way to losing your belly fat and then some. Be healthy, be happy, be free!
Fat Head – More Government Lies
Posted by: | Comments
Ever noticed how with all the government sponsored “science” on diet and heart disease, that America is getting fatter and heart disease is growing? Politicians are pushing their own opinions and agendas on the public and punishing scientists that do not agree with their ideas. The McGovern report and Ansel Keyes low fat, low cholesterol diet are the basis of this bad “science” that is being shoved down our throats by the FDA, USDA and the CDC.
There is a movie coming out which challenges these “truths” with common sense and objective science, not agenda based lies. How can they justify their proposed tax hikes on the foods they determine to be bad when the science behind their propositions is proven faulty?
Low fat diets do not prevent obesity or heart disease. Cholesterol does not cause heart disease. If small minded politicians have their way, we will all be vegetarians. They are probably loading their portfolios with stock in soybean tofu farms. Once they legislate their profits (and fail to pay the taxes us common folk are held to) they will be rich and not pay their “fair share”.
Enough criminal, I mean politician bashing. The point here is what is and has been shoved down our throats as “fact” is merely opinion. Scientists are afraid to speak up because politicians control the grant monies and only distribute the monies to scientists that agree with them. No wonder weight loss has become so hard for people when the weight loss programs are based on bad data.
Lets bring back common sense and objective science. We are not sheep, we can think for ourselves. Don’t let government control us as subjects, they work for us, the voters. We need to wake the voters up if we want to take back our freedom of choice.
Remember the government telling us eggs are bad, salt is bad, butter is bad – margarine, vegetable oils and low fat diets are good? Well that junk “science” sky rocketed heart disease and obesity.
There are a few doctors and scientists speaking out and trying to right this wrong thrust upon our society. If a weight loss diet isn’t working, try a low carb diet instead of a low fat diet. Eat meat like our bodies require and get the nutrients that you cannot get from other foods. High quality protein, B12, omega3s and more.

Weight Gain over the Holidays
Holiday Weight Gain Do’s and Don’ts
Other than those blessed with a naturally high metabolism, holiday weight gain is inevitable. The parties, holiday treats, holiday stress, less physical activity during the holidays and the winter months all contribute to the cause of weight gain. If you have been around for more than 1 year, – you have noticed the pattern of seasonal weight gain. Every year we respond with a New Years resolution to lose weight and/or get fit.
This is not rocket science and we all know the causes of winter weight gain – we consume more calories than we burn. It is a season of celebration and should be celebrated. One weight loss tip for this time of year is, don’t go on a “See Food Diet”. You know, you see food and eat it. Stop and ask yourself, “am I hungry?” If not, do not eat the treat unless you are showing appreciation to the provider, then, limit it to one bite. If your weight is a problem, it is easier to prevent weight gain than it is to get rid of it.
Try to keep holiday treats in perspective; food is sustenance, not a vice. Gluttony is merely an addiction to food and is food/body abuse. Don’t compensate for emotional problems by eating yourself into oblivion. Use some common sense when eating – does it contain nutritional value? If not, avoid it. How many calories are in it? You don’t need to know exactly, but if it is loaded with sugars or other simple carbohydrates and fats – you will gain weight.
Be aware drinks can be loaded with calories also, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Candies and baked goods are almost always calorie laden. Sugar is empty calories, less is best. If you worship food, you obviously need to look into that issue. Treat your body as a temple (at least most of the time).
Checklist to get you through the holidays:
-
- Are you hungry? If not, don’t eat.
- Nutritional value? If not, don’t eat it.
- High in calories? restrict amount you eat.
- Are you full? If so, no reason for another bite.
- Is it within 3 hours of bedtime? Don’t eat
So keep everything in perspective during this holiday season. Enjoy and celebrate, for this is one of the greatest celebrations for most religions. Count your blessings and give thanks for all you have. If you live in a house, have food to eat and live in a country not ravaged by war – you are better off than most. Don’t abuse the body you have been given, treat it with respect. Eat to live, don’t live to eat and your holiday weight gain will be under control.
