Excess Abdominal Fat is Not
Only Ugly, but Extremely Dangerous to Your Health - This is More
Than a Vanity Issue!
by Mike Geary, Certified Nutrition Specialist,

Did you
know that the vast majority of people in this day and age have excess
abdominal fat? The first thing that most people think of is that
their extra abdominal fat is simply ugly, is covering up their abs
from being visible, and makes them self conscious about showing
off their body.
However,
what most people don't realize is that excess abdominal fat in particular,
is not only ugly, but is also a dangerous risk factor to your health.
Scientific research has clearly determined that although it is unhealthy
in general to have excess body fat throughout your body, it is also
particularly dangerous to have excess abdominal fat.
There are
two types of fat that you have in your abdominal area. The first
type that covers up your abs from being visible is called subcutaneous
fat and lies directly beneath the skin and on top of the abdominal
muscles.
The second
type of fat that you have in your abdominal area is called visceral
fat, and that lies deeper in the abdomen beneath your muscle and
surrounding your organs. Visceral fat also plays a role in giving
certain men that "beer belly" appearance where their abdomen
protrudes excessively but at the same time, also feels sort of hard
if you push on it.
Both subcutaneous
fat and visceral fat in the abdominal area are serious health risk
factors, but science has shown that having excessive visceral fat
is even more dangerous than subcutaneous fat. Both of them greatly
increase the risk your risk of developing heart disease, diabetes,
high blood pressure, stroke, sleep apnea, various forms of cancer,
and other degenerative diseases. Excess belly fat has been associated
in studies with higher levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), an indicator
of inflammation within the body that can lead to heart disease.
Part of
the reason visceral fat is particularly dangerous is that it apparently
releases more inflammatory molecules into your system on a consistent
basis.
If you care
about the quality of your life and your loved ones, reducing your
abdominal fat should be one of your TOP priorities! There's just
no way around it. Besides, a side effect of finally getting rid
of all of that excessive ugly abdominal fat is that your stomach
will flatten out, and if you lose enough stomach fat, you will be
able to visibly see those sexy six pack abs that everyone wants.
So what
gets rid of extra abdominal fat? Is there actually a REAL solution
beyond all of the gimmicks and hype that you see in ads and on commercials
for "miracle" fat loss products?
The first
thing you must understand is that there is absolutely NO quick fix
solution. There are no pills or supplements of any sort that will
help you lose your abdominal fat faster. Also, none of the gimmicky
ab rockers, rollers, or ab belts will help get rid of abdominal
fat either. You can't spot reduce your stomach fat by using any
of these worthless contraptions. It simply doesn't work that way.
The only
solution to consistently lose your abdominal fat and keep it off
for good is to combine a sound nutritious diet full of unprocessed
natural foods with a properly designed strategic exercise program
that stimulates the necessary hormonal and metabolic response within
your body. Both your food intake as well as your training program
are important if you are to get this right.
I've actually
even seen a particular study that divided thousands of participants
into a diet-only group and an exercise & diet combined group.
While both groups in this study made good progress, the diet-only
group lost significantly LESS abdominal fat than the diet &
exercise combined group.
Now the
important thing to realize is that just any old exercise program
will not necessarily do the trick. The majority of people that attempt
getting into a good exercise routine are NOT working out effectively
enough to really stimulate the loss of stubborn abdominal fat. I
see this everyday at the gym.
Most people
will do your typical boring ineffective cardio routines, throw in
a little outdated body-part style weight training, and pump away
with some crunches and side bends, and think that they are doing
something useful for reducing their abdominal fat. Then they become
frustrated after weeks or months of no results and wonder where
they went wrong.
Well, the
good news is that I've spent over a decade researching this topic,
analyzing the science, and applying it "in the trenches"
with myself as well as thousands of my clients from all over the
world to see what works to really stimulate abdominal fat loss.
The entire
solution... all of the nutritional strategies, as well as training
sequences, exercise combinations, and more have all been compiled
in my Truth About Six Pack Abs Program.
Keep in
mind that the point of this whole program is NOT abdominal exercises
(that is only a very small portion of it). The main point of this
program is showing you the absolute most effective strategies for
losing your stubborn abdominal fat, so you can get rid of that dangerous
health risk, as well as get a flatter more defined midsection.
If you follow
the guidelines, you WILL lose your belly fat that has been plaguing
you for years. This is not guesswork... it is a proven system that
works time and time again for all of my clients on every corner
of the globe that actually apply these strategies. If you apply
it, the results will come. It's really that simple.
The only
reason most people fail in their fitness goals is that they have
good intentions at first to adopt a new lifestyle, yet after a few
weeks or months, they abandon their good intentions and slip right
back into their old bad habits that gave them the excess body fat
in the first place.
I want to
help you succeed in finally getting rid of that extra abdominal
fat that is not only UGLY, but also DANGEROUS. A lot of people have
emailed me with questions about whether they need any special equipment,
if they're too old or too young for this program, etc. I've made
a page that should answer all of your questions...
