Want to wear that bikini on the display but do not have the body for it? Then this might just be the solution to your dilemma. Author Mike Geary, a certified nutrition specialist and personal trainer, has come up with eight e-books that will help you get that body, especially those abs, you’ve always dreamed of. This includes The truth about abs, Turbulence Training, information on a wide range of exercises to make your exercise anything but boring and routine, and nutritional information to make you fit not only physically by mentally as well. All of this information is available for $39.95 and that’s definitely less than what you would shell out for that single ab-enhancing machine which always see on TV.

The belly is the first thing we look at when it comes to determining how fit or healthy our bodies are. We spend hundreds to thousands of dollars on gym memberships, belly-flattening equipment, fitness trainers, exercise videos, and specialized diets every year and none of them seem to give us the results paid to have in the first place. The Truth About Six Pack Abs has a comprehensive program that will teach you how to get rid of those unwanted flabs and help you become an over-all healthy individual.

Geary says that eating “health foods” such as those labeled to be “sugar-free” or “low-card” or “whole wheat” is just one of the many wrong things that people do when it comes to losing weight or a few inches off the belly. He says these foods, which are pretty expensive, actually contain artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols, and other additives and in effect create hormonal imbalance, causing our bodies to store more belly fat and have these unhealthy cravings. The truth about abs the exposes the reasons behind all of this and teaches us how to eat healthy without having to give up your favorite food. This as well as doing crunches, sit-ups, ab-machines, repetitive cardio routines, and taking pills that supposedly burn fat are just some of the myths that The Truth About Six Pack Abs dissects.

The Truth About Six Pack Abs’ website also includes important information when it comes to the unique nutritional demands of the male and female body as well as an elaborate FAQ section. You might also want to check out testimonials of people who have tried and seen the effectiveness of The Truth about Six Pack Abs (and this also includes legitimate before and after pictures). However, don’t get the wrong idea. The Truth about Six Pack Abs will not give you the results it promises overnight. Dedication and sheer hard work are needed to make this program work. If you are decided and determined to get the body you’ve always wanted, then it’s time that you try The truth about abs.

You’ve made the decision to lose weight as quickly as possible. You have your diet in place and you expect to follow it religiously. At this point, you may be wondering how much weight you can lose in a given week and whether fast weight loss can be dangerous for your body.

There are a number of things that can affect your weight loss. For instance, family history, or genetics, can play a significant role. Other than physical appearance weight affects a person in many ways. This could be the overall quality of life, self-esteem, depression, health risks, and physical incapabilities. There are a lot of positive changes once a person experience weight loss. It is for this reason why a lot of people are searching for a weight loss technique that will surely trim down those fats and get a super slim head turner body. Rapid weight loss requires a multi-faceted approach that combines diet, excercise, emotional support and in some cases, diet supplements.

Start by learning about and mapping out a low-carb diet you can live with. You can use the resources below to get more information on finding a low-carb diet you can live with. Here are fast tips that can change an over-weight’s life:

First: Fast weight loss composes of a multi-faceted technique that consists mindset, exercise, and in other cases, diet supplements. Begin by learning a diet food plan that can easily be accustomed with. Incorporate an exercise plan that allows even at least fifteen minutes a day like brisk walking, running, swimming, and dancing.

Second: Though there are many rapid weight loss plans out there, everyone’s body and metabolism reacts differently to these programs. Some people can’t progress on the diet as fast as others. So, substitute a more rigorous exercise program to compensate. Others are not able to exercise as rigorously - learn to listen to your body and adjust your diet plan accordingly.

Third: Listen as the body speaks. Each and everyone’s body metabolism reacts differently to different fast weight loss programs and plans. Try substituting one program for another to compensate the body’s reaction. Exercise program must be suitable to one’s body, as others are not able to exercise as rigorously as others can. If walking is all that can be done, then walk for this is proven the best exercise. Muscles burn more calories than fats so it’s also best to put on a little muscle and looking good too.

Fourth: Drink at least 6 - 8oz glasses of water each day. Weight loss depends on flusing your system out, and you must stay hydrated during that process.

Fifth: Keep away from fried foods especially deep-fried as this contains a great amount of fat. Although fish and chicken appear leaner than beef, this white meat can contain more fat than when a beef is fried. It is recommended for those on strict diet to opt for grilled food as this does not have or contain less amount of fat after the food is cooked.

Make sure that you aren’t avoiding carbohydrates altogether though. They give your body the energy it needs to function correctly. Also, make sure that you exercise for a good 30 minutes at pace you can handle, on either a treadmill or an elliptical machine. A treadmill will do a better job, but the elliptical is also good.

If you follow this plan, you will be losing a little over a pound a day, but like I said, once you stop this routine of only 1000 to 1500 calories a day you are very likely to go right back to your normal size.

Losing stomach fat and love handles is a struggle for you right? I can bet that you are thinking that you have tried almost every strategy in the book to try to get rid of your stubborn stomach fat, but you just never seem to get results, right?

I am sure you see hundreds of commercials and advertisements that make all kinds of wild miracle claims that you can get rid of your stomach fat in no time with their supposed magic pill or hyped up stomach melting supplement. How about all of the bogus infomercial abs-gadgets out there claiming you can eliminate your stomach fat in only 2-minutes a day just by throwing on some worthless “abdominal belt” around your belly, or sizzle away the abdominal fat and love handles by using their patented “ab-rocker-roller” thingymajig.

Please someone inject some sanity! I hope you have been insulted by these fraudulent scamsters and the gimmicks that they are pushing on you every day by trying to lure you into believing that a stomach fat reduction miracle is possible in 2 minutes/day.

So let us set the record straight and get past all of the gimmicks and scams and get right down to the reality and hard science regarding the strategies & techniques that really do help you to get rid of your stubborn stomach fat and keep it off for life!

1) The 1st important aspect that we will talk about is how you structure your workout programs. In order to stimulate stomach fat loss, you need to eliminate so much wasted time doing all the various abs exercises and hundreds of reps of sit ups, crunches, side bends, and torso twists in the hopes of “spot-reducing” your love handles and stomach fat.

I am sure by now that you know (if you have read any decent reputable fitness publications over the last decade) that spot-reduction is a myth and it simply DOES NOT occur. The truth is, you can’t lose your stomach fat or love handles by doing exercises that target the abdominals or obliques. Unfortunately, although most people do understand this aspect by now (or at least they should), most still devote WAY too much of their workout time trying to isolate the stomach and love handles with hundreds of abs and obliques exercises.

Now don’t get me wrong, a certain amount of abdominals and core exercises in general are great and they do help to strengthen and help you maintain a healthy back and core. But the truth is that exercises directly targeting the stomach and obliques should only be a small portion of your workout routines. To get the best fat loss results, the majority of your training time should be focused on big multi-joint exercises that work the largest muscle groups of the body like the legs, chest, and back.

That is one of the TRUE secrets for getting rid of that floppy stomach fat for life. Focusing the majority of your time on big multi-joint exercises for the largest portions of the body causes a large increase in your metabolic rate both during the workout, and for 1-2 days after the workout. This style of exercise also stimulates an increase in production of fat-burning hormones in your body. You just do not receive this type of metabolism boost and hormonal response by wasting all of your time with hundreds of “abdominals-pumping” and obliques exercises.

So you want to lose your stomach fat right? Well, get your butt under a barbell and do some squats, some deadlifts, some step-ups, some lunges, some chest and back exercises. It doesn’t necessarily matter if it is barbells, dumbbells, or even bodyweight exercises… the focus should be on full body multi-joint exercises at a high intensity. Yes, that also means no 10-minute rest periods between sets while you “exercise your jaw” with half of the people at the gym.

If you want to lose your stomach fat for good, this requires some intensity and focus during your workouts! Anybody who tells you that you can eliminate your stomach fat with your butt parked on the couch watching TV with some “abdominal-belt” strapped to you, or doing only two minutes of crunching with your “ab-roller-rocker” is simply lying to you!

2) The second important aspect to eliminate your flabby stomach fat is your nutrition program. The first thing you should realize is that “dieting” only works against your body’s instincts in your effort to lose the belly fat. The problem is, if you follow any of these gimmick diets like low-carb, or low-fat, the soup diet, or anything else that restricts 1 or more of the macro-nutrients (protein, carbohydrates, and fat), what usually happens is that you actually lose lean muscle and essentially lower your metabolic rate. This only makes you fatter in the long term, because when you start to eat normal again, you now have a lower caloric maintenance level due to the lowered metabolism.

I could go into even more details, but you are basically messing up the processes in your body related to your hormonal balance, the muscle glycogen process, blood sugar, insulin, etc. This stops your body fat loss dead in its tracks!

It’s important to stop being suckered into the diet gimmicks, and understand that we are meant to eat a balanced diet full of a diverse variety of foods from healthy natural sources of proteins, carbohydrates, AND fats. This gives your body all of the macro-nutrients as well as all of the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and enzymes that the body needs to hum along as a well-oiled fat-burning machine!

I have dozens more strategies to help you lose your stubborn stomach fat faster… the natural way, but this article can only be so long, so look below to grab a free report encompassing some of my most effective fat-loss tips and strategies to help you lose that stomach fat and uncover those hidden six pack abs of yours.

If hearing the words isolation exercises makes you sick and if you get excited when the subject of compound exercises is brought up in conversation, then you’re going to love this workout routine.

This is a program that works all the major musculature of the body and in particular the legs. It may sound simple to you at first and you may want to throw in more exercises, but trust me on this, if you work these exercises hard to your maximum capacity - you won’t be able to do anymore lifts. Follow this program properly and you’ll crush former strength and size levels.

The Ultimate Consolidation Program is great for advanced lifters and will allow them to ramp up their strength and size even if gains have been few and far between lately. I don’t recommend this for a beginner just yet, unless it’s a rare case that likes to work the weights hard and can perform the exercises in proper form.

The Ultimate Consolidation Program

Overhead Press 2 x 6-12
Pulldowns or Chins 2 x 6-12
Dips 2 x 6-12
Deadlifts or Shrugs 2 x 15-20
Squats 1 x 15-20

Notes: Workout two days a week - if you aren’t recovering fast enough, drop to one day a week or drop to one set for each exercise. If the deadlift is too much - add shrugs instead. You should reach failure on last rep of each exercise. If not, increase weight. If you want to make it even harder make the squats 20-rep breathing squats.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program - hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.

• Lose Weight With These Health-Boosting Tips

For those who don’t know, Canadian born Doug Hepburn was one of the strongest men to grace our planet with only Paul Anderson being stronger at the time.

Hepburn burst on the Olympic Lifting scene in 1950 and would later defeat the legendary John Davis at the 1953 world championships - shattering records along the way. Those records would eventually be smashed by Anderson.

In his prime, Hepburn had lifted 760 pounds on the squat, 705 in the deadlift, 440 in the press and 580 in the bench. He was the first man to ever bench press over 500 pounds. More impressive is the fact that his lifts were before the age of steroids, bench suits and all the other crap that’s used today.

This is how Hepburn trained for the 1953 World Championship. I’ve eliminated his weight totals in case anyone reading this would want to follow. Use weights that you can handle.

Doug Hepburn’s Championship Routine

Monday

Cleans 10 x 2
Bench Press 1 x 5; 6 x 2
Squats 1 x 5; 6 x 3

Wednesday

Snatch 10 x 2
Bench Press 1 x 5; 6 x 2
Squats 1 x 5; 6 x 3

Friday

Press 10 x 2
Bench Press 1 x 5; 6 x 2
Squats 1 x 5; 6 x 3

Notes: Doug at 4-5 meals a day and would try to get nine hours sleep a night. You don’t have to follow these guidelines, stick with what makes you feel comfortable. Hepburn used very heavy weights in his workouts and you should too. Always work with weights that are heavy for you and keep training hard and progressive.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program - hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.

I am sure you have heard so many promises of fat loss products that can help you to lose belly fast at warp speed fat loss rate. Do you believe all of that mess? Well, we all know that exercise is always the best route to go, but a lot of people just hate exercise. I do.

I must confess that. I once saw a commercial on the television about this small ball that you can use to do sit ups that can be less painful and get more results, but I am lazy and don’t want to move from the coach to the floor to do anything that will require me to even lift my head up from the floor. So we are in the same boat here. Learn About the Warp Speed Fat Loss Program at lose fat muscle.

I knew I had to lose belly fat because I was no longer fitting in my clothes and when I looked in the mirror I wanted to immediately look away. I just did not like what I saw. I know I need to change my diet, so I went on a vegetable diet (instead of rice, I would replace it with vegetables). I cannot be a vegetarian, sorry. I live meat too much.

However, I tried to decrease my food portions and I also tried to eat earlier because I learned that the metabolism slowed down after certain hours and of course, after certain age and if you are over 40 like I am, you really have a slower metabolism no matter how much exercise you do.

You don’t have to do surgery to have those fat cells shrink for you. Practice sucking in that tummy when you sit or stand. It can become a ritual and a new habit. It works. I worked with someone years ago who had just given birth to a baby and in six weeks her stomach was as flat as a board. I asked her how she did it. I thought it must have been breastfeeding, but she said that she sucked in her stomach until her stomach obeyed her and shrunk. I believed her.

I would also recommend that you use a blender to create vegetable juice and fruit juice instead of eating them whole. This is easier to digest and does a better job in juice format than whole.
Try sitting up straight instead of slumping down in a chair and ruining your posture. You also weaken your stomach muscles when you do that. Join a yoga class. It is truly refreshing and helps you to stretch those stomach muscles, which result in a flatter stomach. Find out more at lose fat muscle about fat loss secret.

Did you also know that stress causes belly fat? Yes, it does. Get enough sleep and stop worrying about things that you cannot change. Do meditations in the morning or at a time convenient to you so you can clear your mind.

To lose belly fat is striking a balance with what you eat, what you do to raise your level of energy and exercise, when possible and what you allow yourself to dwell on.
