It is also unhealthy and will shorten our lifespan. Many people struggle for years trying to lose weight and get discouraged when they do not see immediate results. What they do not know is that it is not necessarily their fault. They might be doing everything right, but they also may need extra help, in order for their body to respond and kick in. Many times, these individuals may need prescription weight control medications in order to lose weight properly. They may also need the help of trained staff to help monitor their health and progress as they embark on a customized weight loss program. A customized weight loss program is important because no two people are the same, and bodies react different to many types of weight loss programs.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
At a weight loss center a group of doctors, dietitians, nutritionists, and assistants will help an individual achieve his/her weight goal with many different supervised programs. By choosing a reputable weight loss doctor a person will have a highly trained staff behind to support him/her. This results in peace of mind, as the person will know that he/she is doing everything possible to lose the weight, get healthy, and approaching the issue in a safe way.<br />
<br />
This is very important when using prescription weight control medications. A physician must supervise the entire process to ensure safety and best results. Some of the medications that require medical supervision are Phentermine, Adipex, Didrex and Tenuate. These are FDA approved prescription medications and safe to use under the supervision of a physician. Depending on the weight loss center you choose, these medications will be prescribed and dispensed on site, to ensure a higher level of safety and effectiveness.<br />
<br />
Phentermine is an appetite suppressant and is often used in conjunction with a healthy diet, exercise, and behavior modification program for optimum results. It is important that a person taking this drug does it under medical supervision and guidance.<br />
<br />
Adipex is another appetite suppressant designed for short-term use in a weight loss program under a doctor's supervision. It may be used in conjunction with a proper diet, exercise program, and educational eating program. Some overweight patients with diabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure may benefit from this drug in order to reduce their weight.<br />
<br />
Didrex decreases appetite and is designed to be used for a few weeks under the supervision of a doctor and with other weight loss methods like calorie restriction, exercise, and counseling. It is also used to treat obesity.<br />
<br />
Tenuate is a stimulant and appetite suppressant drug for short-term use and under medical supervision. May also be used in conjunction with a healthy diet program, proper exercise, and counseling/education on food consumption.<br />
<br />
Although these medications may seem similar, only a trained physician will be able to determine, which is the best course of treatment for an individual and for how long.Unthought Knownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01733436119706136302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715742945607639084.post-4273824434852954342010-08-03T18:50:00.001-07:002010-08-03T18:50:18.877-07:00Will Creatine Really Help You Lose Weight?Maybe you've heard about creatine and weight loss and wondered if it can really help you drop those extra pounds. Though it seems like a straightforward question, the answer is a bit more complicated than you might expect. Creatine can help you reduce your body fat percentage very quickly, but you may not be losing any weight. So if you want to reduce your body fat, then this article may be able to help you. On the other hand, if you're just looking to lose weight, then you'll need to look elsewhere.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
What Creatine Does<br />
<br />
I'll try to explain what creatine does without getting bogged down in the technicalities. Since I don't want you to start tuning out, I'll avoid using too many of those annoying scientific terms. So here it is in its most basic form. Creatine increases the amount of fluid in each individual cell in your muscles, thereby making them appear larger. The scientific name for this is sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. If you take creatine every day for 4 - 6 weeks, you can expect an average muscle growth of 5 - 10 pounds.<br />
<br />
How Does Creatine Help You Lower Your Body Fat Percentage?<br />
<br />
Your body fat percentage is simply a comparison of how much fat you have compared to the total mass of your body. This means there are two ways to lower your body fat percentage - by losing body fat or by increasing your muscle mass. If you follow the prescribed program, you can shed 1 or even 2% of your body fat percentage before you head off for that beach vacation or return home for your high school reunion.<br />
<br />
The Proper Way to Use Creatine to Improve Your Look on Vacation<br />
<br />
If you've been planning a great vacation or attending a gala event, I would wait until 3 - 4 weeks before hand to start using creatine. Too many people think of creatine as a way to keep muscle mass during the winter, but that's not the most productive method for preparing for your summer vacation. Instead, in the months leading up to your vacation, you should drop your weight with a diet, but still try to keep your same muscle mass. Develop as lean a shape as you can manage using a healthy diet and a daily workout regimen. When you've gotten yourself as lean as you can go, that's when you want to take advantage of the creatine. When you're 3 - 4 weeks away from the big affair, start taking 5 grams of creatine twice a day. Don't give up that diet just because you're on the creatine. You'll be able to add about 5 - 15 pounds of muscle to your frame, so any remaining body fat will be nearly undetectable.<br />
<br />
This Formula Will Also Give You that Shrink Wrapped Look<br />
<br />
Creatine not only increases the muscle mass, but also keeps the skin around your abs nice and tight. One of the quickest ways to lose definition around your abs is to have loose skin. To avoid arriving at your vacation with a less than perfect set of abs, you need to be sure that any loose skin has been filled in - something creatine can do. So, yes, creatine may help you look as if you've lost weight, but no, it won't cause you to actually lose weight.Unthought Knownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01733436119706136302noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715742945607639084.post-21557484711538838672010-08-01T19:34:00.003-07:002010-08-01T19:34:11.795-07:00Begin Losing WeightLooking to drop extra weight dead in its tracks? If you have some extra pounds you've been dying to get rid of, look no further. You can begin to lose the weight without having to spend countless hours at the gym or crunching calories.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Here are two simple but important ways to begin to lose weight. It will only take two minutes to read these tips!<br />
<br />
Whatever you do eat, make sure it is high in protein.<br />
<br />
Regardless of what meal it is, you need protein. Protein is the substance that helps maintained proper sugar levels. If you don't have stable blood sugar than you will notice that you have cravings that are hard to control, as well as feeling extremely hungry.<br />
<br />
Also, protein boosts metabolism, which makes sense, as your body is made up of protein!<br />
<br />
It's fairly simple to figure out what meals have protein in them. Any type of meats such as chicken, lean beef, beans, any type of legumes, protein shakes. Sometimes finding snacks with protein is hard but any type of yogurt, string cheese, and protein bars (just watch out for sugar content), or a handful of nuts.<br />
<br />
Watching TV tonight? Jump rope while watching TV, it helps!<br />
<br />
Everyone knows how great boxer's bodies are. This is from working out a lot, and a little known fact; they also jump rope. Even though you're not looking to be a boxer, this exercise drops pounds fast.<br />
<br />
Jump rope during your commercial breaks, that totals to about 10 minutes of a half hour show. You won't notice the time going by if you break it up over your TV time, but you will notice the ponds drop.Unthought Knownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01733436119706136302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715742945607639084.post-86880562294172663082010-07-30T22:38:00.001-07:002010-07-30T22:38:23.898-07:0010 of the Best Slimming FoodsChoosing the best slimming foods as part of your diet is an easy way to help you lose weight without having to do a lot of calculations. The best slimming foods are those that fill you up without a lot of calories.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
10 of the Most Effective Slimming Foods<br />
<br />
1. Green vegetables - Mom was right when she told you to eat your vegetables. Vegetables have lots of fiber, so they fill you up. They are also very low in calories, so you can eat until you're full. Finally, green vegetables like broccoli, spinach, green beans and asparagus are loaded with vitamins.<br />
<br />
2. Fruit - Fruit also contains lots of vitamins and fiber. It has plenty of vitamins and contains natural sugar, which can help satisfy a sweet tooth.<br />
<br />
3. Lean protein - Lean protein like meat, eggs and low fat cheese are great for keeping you full and providing fuel for muscles. Protein keeps you feeling full for a long time, helping to ensure that you don't overeat.<br />
<br />
4. Low fat dairy - Low fat milk and other dairy products contain calcium. Studies have shown that dieters who consume an adequate amount of calcium lose more weight than those who don't.<br />
<br />
5. Green tea - Green tea contains EGCG an anti-oxidant that speeds up the metabolism. A few cups of green tea each day can help ensure that you burn more calories, so you lose weight faster.<br />
<br />
6. Whole grains - Whole wheat bread, brown rice and oatmeal are all among the best slimming foods. These provide good carbohydrates and lots of fiber, which is good for all of us.<br />
<br />
7. Nuts - Nuts are filling and full of vitamins. However what makes them one of the best slimming foods is the fact that they're packed with "good fats" - the kind our bodies need. The fats from nuts are nutritious and help you feel full. Nuts are high in calories, however, so you do have to watch portions.<br />
<br />
8. Hot peppers - Hot peppers contains capsaicin, which speeds up your metabolism. So, in addition to having vitamins and fiber like all vegetables, eating hot peppers may really provide a boon to your weight loss efforts.<br />
<br />
9. Beans - Beans are a great source of complex carbohydrate and protein. They are very nutritious, have lots of fiber and keep you feeling full for a long time. In addition, they are inexpensive and can be prepared many different ways.<br />
<br />
10. Fish - Fish, especially oily fish like salmon and tuna, are not only good lean proteins, but they also contain Omega 3 fatty acids. These acids are not only good for your heart, but may speed up your metabolism, too.Unthought Knownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01733436119706136302noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715742945607639084.post-40342416794559746792010-07-28T17:15:00.000-07:002010-07-28T17:15:05.614-07:00Top 5 Excuses Not to Lose Weight and How to Beat ThemMany of us fail to lose weight because we find any imaginable excuse not to eat healthy or to exercise. Here are the top 5 excuses that will prevent you from meeting you weight loss goals and how to beat them:<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
1. I am afraid I will gain the weight back. We are afraid that even if we follow a diet for a few weeks or months, we will eventually give up and gain those pounds back. We've all experienced this or heard this happen to a fried or a member of our family. The main reason why people just give up is because their dieting plan is to strict to follow. The best thing you can do is start slowly, choose a not so strict diet and treat yourself once in a while<br />
<br />
2. I do not have time. It does not matter how busy your schedule is, you need to find the time to take care of your health. The ultimate solution is to modify your schedule and put healthy shopping and exercising at the top of your list. These should be your top priority and even work is not as important as your health. You won't be able to do your job properly if you are always sick and tired.<br />
<br />
3. I don't have money for a trainer. Personal trainers can be a luxury that not everyone can afford. The good news is you do not need a personal trainer in order to lose weight. There is a wonderful thing called the Internet where you can go and make your own research and connect to other people that are trying to lose weight. If you are on a budget, start education yourself for free!<br />
<br />
4. I don't feel like working out today. We all have days when we just want to relax and procrastinate. The problem is that if we skip one or two workouts, we usually tend to stop doing our exercises for a few weeks, even months. The best way to prevent this is to do our training based on time and not on our mood. If you have decided you are going to work out every 2 days at 7:30 am. do it, even if you don't fell like it.<br />
<br />
5. I am embarrassed with my weight. You just signed up for a local gym but you don't go there regularly because you are self-conscious about your weight. This can be a major issue because you need to exercise on a regularly bases and you cannot go to the gym only when you feel like it. If you are not comfortable exercising around a lot of people, you can choose to go the gym during off hours and if you are a female, it may be a good idea to look for a gym that only women go to.Unthought Knownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01733436119706136302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715742945607639084.post-91348639271422232702010-07-26T17:06:00.001-07:002010-07-26T17:06:11.668-07:005 Ways to Avoid Comfort FoodsComfort foods are those foods that we turn to when we're feeling "a bit down". They are usually sugary or high fat. When you're losing weight, you don't want to be tempted by these foods just because you've had a bad day, or you simply can't resist one chocolate from the aisle.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
In this article we'll discuss five ways to reduce or avoid eating comfort foods altogether, but if you do slip up, it's not a reason or excuse to fall off your weight loss wagon.<br />
<br />
Internal dialogue<br />
Otherwise known the devil on one shoulder, angel on the other (like in those cartoons!) This technique never works. You're already biased to having a chocolate, so no matter how bad you feel about breaking your eating plan, you'll always make a deal with yourself in order to lessen the guilt and make it OK. Spend an extra 20 mins on the treadmill, skip dessert later, run an extra mile. These promises usually never pan out, leaving you feel guilty about eating the candy and also breaking your promise to yourself.<br />
<br />
The solution? Reduce the dialogue to: You don't really want it. Then walk away. Out of sight, out of mind.<br />
<br />
Walk towards the fruit and vegie section<br />
Fruit is full of sugars, so whenever you feel you just need that little pick me up, pick something very sweet like a punnet of strawberries (stay away from the dipping chocolate!) Strawberries will fulfill your sweet cravings, plus they contain loads of antioxidants and vitamins that you just aren't going to get from a candy bar.<br />
<br />
Choose a better option<br />
Most comfort foods have a healthier option. Choose air popped corn without butter flavouring (which is artificial anyway) but you're allowed a small sprinkle of salt for flavour. Or try a peri peri flavouring (either salt free or salt reduced). 'Reduced fat' items usually mean more sugar, so avoid them. Reduced fat candy bars still contain up to 48% sugar, so stay away from those too. There are now rice snacks, grain snacks and low fat chips that are acceptable for comfort food cravings. Choose those and make your own guacamole; it will be fresh, low fat, nothing artificial and you know everything that went into it. There are many healthier versions of pizza and burgers too, which your weight loss supporter or group can tell you about.<br />
<br />
The smaller portion<br />
Many candy bars and other snack foods come in small sizes. These are called fun or treat sizes. If you simply cannot resist a chocolate, buy the smallest size and not the whole block or super size. Avoid buying a packet of treat size bars also- this can lead to bingeing. It's better not to have a packet of candy lying around the house- you'll be amazed at how many excuses you can come up with to eat them! If you crave a doughnut, buy just one. You don't even have to eat the whole thing; just a bite or half the doughnut is enough to satisfy the craving. John Travolta, when he needs to lose weight for a role, literally cuts everything in half. So he'll still eat a burger or pizza, but only eats exactly half of it. Portion control is the key to weight loss success.<br />
<br />
Identify the reasons for the comfort food<br />
If you're wanting comfort food regularly, then it may be worth finding out why. Many people, without even knowing it, are self-medicating with sugar to regulate their moods. Women are far more likely to engage in this self-medicating than men, due to fluctuating hormones throughout the month. Identify the reasons you crave sugary foods, then work to eliminate them. Using a birth control pill will help the hormonal influences, for example. See your doctor if you suspect you are suffering depression. Everyone has "bad days" but if these days are frequent, there's probably an underlying reason that needs to be identified and corrected. A healthy mind translates into a healthy body.<br />
<br />
If you're on an eating plan, chances are that you're part of a support group or have a buddy system. Talk about your cravings to your support person or group. They've definitely been there before and they know how hard it can be to talk yourself out of it. They will have solutions just for you that can be implemented without guilt or stress.Unthought Knownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01733436119706136302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715742945607639084.post-37997016066015662582010-07-25T17:06:00.001-07:002010-07-25T17:06:40.271-07:00Liposuction Before and AfterLiposuction is one of the most popular and effective cosmetic surgery procedures and any liposuction before and after stories will show you why. In this operation, fat is removed from areas of the body such as the stomach, buttocks and thighs, resulting in weight loss and a slimming effect to the contours of the body.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Just look at some liposuction before and after photos to get an idea of how dramatic the effect can be. The surgery is most effective in people who tend to put weight on in a particular area, as it will actually reshape the body. It can also be used in several places around the body to remove pounds and slim the figure all over.<br />
<br />
Liposuction may be performed under local or general anesthetic depending on the size of the area to be treated and the overall fitness of the patient. There is always a risk to general anesthetic, so local is preferred for smaller, less extensive treatments. It is always important that the candidate is in good health before undergoing any surgical procedure and this will be assessed by the physician before the procedure. Patients must also not smoke for two months before surgery as this can cause complications.<br />
<br />
The general procedure is as follows: The candidate and surgeon discuss the process so the candidate is aware of what to expect from the surgery. A date for the procedure is then arranged and on the day of the surgery the patient will sign a consent form and be given antibiotics. A liposuction before and after photo is taken as reference for the patient to compare to after the procedure. The patient will be given either a local or general anesthetic and the operation can take place. General recovery usually takes place within the same day but compression bandages must be worn for a few weeks after the operation.<br />
<br />
It is important that anyone considering plastic surgery educates themselves about the procedure, the likely results and possible complications before deciding to undergo treatment. A good way to start doing this is to look at liposuction before and after pics on the internet to get an idea of what is possible, rather than having an unrealistic view of what the surgery can achieve. The best results of liposuction are achieved in combination with a healthy diet and exercise program which your doctor should advise you on during your initial consultation.Unthought Knownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01733436119706136302noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715742945607639084.post-20489316491611141872010-07-22T21:52:00.001-07:002010-07-22T21:52:37.825-07:00How to Lose Weight SensiblyChances are, if more weight loss companies were promoting how to lose weight sensibly, there would be far fewer obese people. The only problem with that reasoning is that they would also be out of business. That's because, to a large degree anyway, most of those products aren't necessary. In fact, some of them may be dangerous.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Losing weight sensibly involves eating less and moving more. Just exercising portion control is one thing you can begin to do immediately that will have a bearing on your success. The cost? Nothing!<br />
<br />
Be careful about taking weight loss advice from those who are trying to sell you something. When you do this, objectivity is lost. Instead, look for authorities on the subject or speak with your healthcare professional. You can also find a lot of good information online about sensible weight loss, but you will have to separate the wheat from the chaff.<br />
<br />
Incorporating exercise into your lifestyle is part of a sensible weight reduction plan. Instead of buying the hype that you can buy a belt and lose weight while you sleep, get moving! If you have a family, get them moving too. Make it a family affair to get healthy and exercise together. Whenever possible, look for activities that are fun but that also involve a degree of exercise. Bike riding with the family is an excellent way to get into shape and have fun at the same time.<br />
<br />
By incorporating small changes into your diet and your exercise routine, you can lose weight sensibly and keep it off.Unthought Knownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01733436119706136302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715742945607639084.post-64342161991810380662010-07-20T18:16:00.000-07:002010-07-20T18:16:39.405-07:00What is Belly Fat Saying About You?Are you carrying extra inches around your mid-section?

<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
As men age, key hormones such as testosterone decline which cause a decrease in metabolism and an increase in a sedentary lifestyle because of a loss of motivation. The result is the male body accumulating fat, primarily belly fat. Fat contains an enzyme called aromatase which converts testosterone to estrogen which can further accelerate increased body fat. As the level of testosterone drops further, the issue becomes more pronounced.<br />
<br />
The drop in testosterone and the increase in estrogen add to the symptoms of andropause-sometimes referred to as male menopause. Unhealthy hormone levels are unhealthy for the body in general and in particular for the prostate, heart and brain.<br />
<br />
Why is Belly Fat a Specific Concern?<br />
<br />
Gaining fat in the belly region, as opposed to other regions in the body, places a man at a greater risk for serious health problems. The following health risks may occur with excess body fat:<br />
<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Heart disease<br />
<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Stroke<br />

<br />
Getting Rid of Belly Fat<br />
<br />
Whether you're trying to get rid of belly fat or decrease fat from another part of your body, the basics of weight-loss remain unchanged with one addition.<br />
<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Reduce calories mainly refined carbohydrates. Decrease portion sizes and increase the amount of low-calorie, healthy foods in your daily diet.<br />
<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Increase physical activity. The Department of Health and Human Services recommends adults get a minimum of two hours and 30 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or one hour and 15 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity, in addition to strength training.<br />
<br />
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The addition: Building on the above information, you may want to investigate the possibility that you have low testosterone levels and the possible treatment options available for low testosterone levels.<br />
<br />
Is Testosterone Replacement Therapy/Male Hormone Replacement Therapy Right for You?<br />
<br />
Before prescribing male hormone replacement therapy in general and testosterone replacement therapy in particular, a physical exam and a series of blood tests, including a PSA (protein-specific antigen) test, must be performed to measure testosterone levels. If you are suffering from low testosterone levels, your physician can discuss the various treatment options. Many insurance companies cover the costs of andropause treatment, and male menopause treatment is often available for purchase with a tax advantaged flexible savings account.<br />
<br />
Male hormone replacement therapy and testosterone replacement are effective low testosterone treatment options for men with andropause. If you have any symptoms associated with andropause, such as low energy, irritability, hot flashes, abdominal weight gain, loss of muscle strength, loss of sex drive and the inability to maintain an erection, talk to your doctor. The sooner you speak with a physician and get checked for low testosterone levels, the sooner you can begin feeling like yourself again.Unthought Knownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01733436119706136302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715742945607639084.post-15493544141595052152010-07-19T01:13:00.001-07:002010-07-19T01:14:03.077-07:00How to Lose Body Fat in 3 Easy Steps"How to lose body fat?"<br />

<br />
The thing about losing fat and becoming healthy is that it's actually different for everyone. Each one of us is unique and has different metabolic rates that the experience of losing weight will also vary. Some people can lose enough fat by doing daily activities, that minimal effort is required to stay fit and healthy. For most people, however, losing excess pounds is more difficult and so they even require a special diet and a weight loss program that can help them lose weight.<br />
<br />
Although dieting and exercising are the key points to losing fat fast, one should always remember that there is a right amount for everything. Too little diet or too little exercise will not be enough to produce results, and can even become too frustrating for others. Too much diet can sometimes cause an increase in fat. This happens when our body tries to compensate for the lack of food and starts hoarding up food as fat. The body is tricked that there is a shortage of food so it tries to use less food as energy and instead stores it as unwanted fat. The same goes for doing too much exercise, too much exercise can cause muscle strain and injury which may result to activity intolerance. When this happens, we feel burned out and the body would rather be sedentary than active. This results again to the accumulation of excess fats.<br />
<br />
To reach your ideal weight, you may need a weight loss plan designed just for you, taking into consideration your body mass index and your metabolic rate. This can be achieved by looking for professional help. A professional can whip up a weight loss plan with the right exercise and diet to provide you with your desired effect. Furthermore, asking for help from a professional will also ensure that what you are doing will be safe and effective.<br />
<br />
There really is no shortcut to becoming fit, it is a long and hard road to travel, but bear in mind, almost everything in this world that is worth having is often achieved by hard work and patience.Unthought Knownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01733436119706136302noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715742945607639084.post-61009587730442255502010-07-19T01:09:00.001-07:002010-07-19T01:10:03.541-07:00From Belly Fat to Belly Flat - How to Get There in 2 Easy StepsSo, you've decided that you 100% want to move from belly fat to belly fat right? I am glad you've made that decision and in this article I am going to reveal the simple, time honored two step formula for getting there.<br />
<br />
This 2 step formula for going from belly fat to belly flat doesn't involve the use of miracle creams, miracle pills or that thing that you wrap around your waist that vibrates. In fact it doesn't involve anything you are likely to have seen on an infomercial.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Step 1 - Eat Right and Get Rid of Fat<br />
The first step in the process involves getting a diet regime in place that fosters weight loss but doesn't leave you starving. If you are packing away the burgers and coke everyday this needs to stop. Instead try to eat more wholesome meals. Be sure to include lots of vegetables in your diet and the more fish you consume the better. If you are a big fan of red meat, by all means continue to have it. Just make sure when you do eat red meat however, it's 100% lean.<br />
<br />
There is no way you are going to get rid of belly fat if you don't eat right but there's also another component to the process...<br />
<br />
Step 2 - Take Regular Exercise<br />
One of the biggest misconceptions that people have is that they can get a flat stomach, ripped with abs without shedding the pounds. You see it all the time; people doing sit-ups for months and can't see a six pack manifesting itself. If you lose the weight first, then go for the flat stomach you'll be amazed at how quickly you achieve your goal. But you can't shed the pounds unless you take regular exercise.<br />
<br />
What you do for exercise is up to you but make sure that it's cardio related. Anything like jogging, running, cycling or even rowing is good for shedding excess belly fat.<br />
<br />
Once you combine the two components of the formula you are sure to achieve that goal and go from belly fat to belly fat. It works every time and now that you have the formula right here in this article, it should work a charm for you too.Unthought Knownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01733436119706136302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715742945607639084.post-88251677870041058332010-07-19T01:04:00.001-07:002010-07-19T01:07:15.550-07:00Quickest Way to Lose Abdominal Fat - This Single Tip Will Flatten Your Tummy in Weeks!<div>Searching for the quickest way to lose abdominal fat?
