• Lose tummy fat!
• Lose thigh fat!
• Lose arm fat!
• Lose chest fat!

Who out there does not want to do this?  I know I sure do!

The problem is, these info-peeps are selling a fallacy.  It is impossible to target a specific spot on the body and lose fat from just there.  Fat loss is body-wide.

Want to lose tummy fat?  Excellent!  You can absolutely do it.  The upside is that you will also lose thigh fat at the same time.  You will lose arm fat and chest fat, too.

Why?

Because your body will burn fat from wherever it is.  You see, fat is nothing but stored calories.  When your body needs more calories than is available from the food you just ate, it goes into the storage room and grabs the needed calories from the fat.  The thing is, it does not take it just from one place, it takes it from everywhere.

So, if you have a belly you would like to lose, it is very likely that you have fat elsewhere that also needs to go.  Perfect!  Use one area as your motivation and know that other “secondary” areas are also being improved.

But, do not buy programs or products that claim to target one area and then look for something else that targets another area.  You DO NOT need them.  Find one that you enjoy and will follow consistently and you WILL get the results the info-peeps promise, you just won’t be falling for their wild (and erroneous) claims.

If you are looking for an easy-to-follow plan that will get you looking great and feeling even better, please check out Turbulence Training.  Whether you are a man or a woman, this is a fat burning program that will work for you.  Best of all, you can try it out for 3 weeks for just $4.95.

Until next time…

Spot Fat Loss – Fact or Fiction? is a post from: Lose Tummy Fat...Now!

The step that should be done last is the one most people do first when trying to lose weight.  By skipping the first two steps, they are setting themselves up for failure (or at least a big dose of disappointment).

Step 3 – Get Moving

As mentioned above, adding physical activity to your day should be a part of your plan to lose tummy fat.  While what you eat is important, changing just your diet will lead to weight loss, but it the weight will come off slower than it could otherwise.  To get the kind of results you want in as short a time as possible, exercise is a vital component.

If you sit at a desk all day, just about any activity will be a huge help when you first start.  Going for a simple 20 minute walk will lead to some good results.  Of course the results will drop off over time, so you will want to either add time to what you do or take turns doing different activities each day.

One of the most asked questions is “What is the best fat loss exercise to do?”  The answer may sound simplistic, but it’s so true.

Any exercise you enjoy and will do consistently is the best fat loss exercise you can do.

You see, consistency is far more important than intensity when it comes to weight loss, so figure out what you enjoy doing and do that.  It really is that simple.

Now you have three great weight loss tips.  However, understanding that these tips are all you need to lose weight and knowing how to get them to work together properly are two very different concepts.

It is the putting them together that is the hurdle that keeps people from realizing their weight loss goals.

Why reinvent the wheel?  Rather than needlessly taking up a lot of your time trying to create a plan yourself, wouldn’t it be easier to use a proven, comprehensive program created by an expert?  Of course it would .   You can get your hands on a plan today so you can get started today.

Lose Tummy Fat – 3 Easy Steps to Success (Step #3) is a post from: Lose Tummy Fat...Now!

And don’t worry if you get off track, everyone does at some point.

Today let’s talk about the second step in your plan.

Step 2 – Change what you eat

At the most basic level, in order to lose weight you need to burn more calories than you consume.  There are a number of ways you can do this.  One way is to simply reduce how many calories you eat.  Another way is to add enough physical activity to your day to burn more calories.

When working to lose tummy fat, what you eat is the more important component of your plan.  You can exercise like crazy, but if your food choices are poor, you will not see the results your physical efforts suggest you should see.  This can lead to discouragement, which ultimately will lead to abandoning your goals and quitting.

Winners never quit.

The preferable way to lose tummy fat is a combination of the two methods mentioned above.

Let’s take a look at what the options look like individually.

By knowing how much weight loss you want, you can figure out how many calories you need to cut from your daily intake.  For illustration purposes consider that a pound of body fat is equal to about 3,500 calories.  Therefore, to lose 1 pound of body weight per week requires a reduction of 500 calories per day.

Conversely, you could also get the same calorie change by keeping your diet as it is and burning an extra 500 calories per day.  This could be achieved by running, biking, swimming, rowing or any other physical activity done in addition to whatever you may already be doing.

Either of the above options can get you results.  The ideal approach is to make better food choices and add in an exercise component.  It all starts with the food choices, though.

Good food choices include cutting out processed foods and sugar and adding fruits and vegetables.

Another good choice is to be sure to eat breakfast.  To keep your body in calorie-burning mode it needs to have food to digest.  Nothing derails that calorie burning like skipping meals, and skipping breakfast is the worst meal to skip.

So, two easy steps down, one more to go.  Check back in a couple of days to get the final piece to your weight loss puzzle.

Until then…

Lose Tummy Fat – 3 Easy Steps to Success (Step #2) is a post from: Lose Tummy Fat...Now!

There are millions of people around the world just like you.  They looked in the mirror one day, didn’t like what they saw and decided it was time to lose tummy fat and get healthy.

The question is, how do I do it?

That is a great question.

With all of those “miracle” products being blasted on TV that turn out to not really work, what can you do?  To get great results that will make you the envy of your family and friends, there are just 3 easy steps you need to follow.

.They are:

-Set a goal

-Change what you eat

- Get moving

Today we will take a look at the first step.

Step 1 – Set a Specific Goal

Losing tummy fat should be approached no differently than any other goal is.  In order to be successful achieving a weight loss (or any other) goal, you need to be as specific as possible about it.  Below are some questions to help you get started:

Where are you today?

Where do you want to be?

By When?

How will you do it?

You want to lose weight.  Great!  But that alone is not a goal.  In order to set a good goal, you need to be more specific.

So, let’s get started.

Ok, you need to know where you are today.  The two big numbers to know are your current bodyweight and your body fat percentage (BF%).

Your bodyweight is less important to track, but it is of use here.  Your Body Fat % (aka body composition) is more useful to you.  As you lose fat you will also gain muscle, which will make it seem as though you are not getting good results.  Don’t worry, you are making progress.

Your body weight may not change much, but your body composition will.  By changing your body composition you get healthier.  The important thing to remember is the muscle weight gained will offset the fat lost so do not put too much stock in what your scale says.

Now, to answer those questions:

First, write down today’s date and your current body weight and body fat percentage.

Second, write down your goal weight and body fat percentage.

Next write down the date by which you would like to hit your targets and figure out how many weeks away that is from today.

Finally, divide your weight loss (in pounds) by the number of weeks you are giving yourself to do this.

A safe amount of weight loss is 1 to 2 pounds per week (on average).  Does your weekly goal fall within this range?  If it is higher, you should re-visit your plan.  If it is lower, then you may hit your goal earlier than planned.  That is awesome!

Please note, when you begin to lose weight, you may find that you are losing more than 1-2 pounds per week.  That is fine.  This is common for those who have not really tried to lose weight before and for those who are currently extremely overweight.

Over time you will find the pounds come off more slowly.  Do not let this discourage you.  As you have less to lose, your body is slower to let go of it.

Finally, you need to figure out how you will reach your goals.

We will look at this when we investigate the other two steps over the next few days.

See you then!

Review: Turbulence Training for Women is a post from: Lose Tummy Fat...Now!

This is easier said than done, right?  Well, no, actually it isn’t.

Below are five mistakes that will hold you back until you fix them.  The good news is that they are easy to fix.

Mistake #1 – Skipping Meals/Snacks

When trying to lose weight it is vital that you do not allow yourself to get to a “starving” level of hunger.  When your stomach is yelling at you, your self-control is weak and that is when you make poor food choices.

If you allow yourself to get to a ravenous state, you start loading up on fat-laden foods.  This makes sense becausefatty foods take longer to digest, so they will keep you from feeling hungry for a while.  It may take you longer to feel hungry, but I am sure you agree that this is not a good food choice.

To keep from falling to this temptation, eat 6-8 smaller meals throughout the day rather than three larger ones.  Eating smaller meals will require eating every few hours, but using this method will keep food in your stomach and make it much easier to say no to that greasy hamburger and fries.

Also, never skip breakfast.  Get your metabolism going by giving your body something to burn.  Keep it going by eating every few hours.

Mistake #2 – Too Many Salt-filled Snacks

Do you remember the potato chip commercial from a few years ago that had the tag line “You can’t eat just one”?  There is a reason why you can’t.  It’s the sodium.

Salty foods are easy to eat quickly.  Sit in front of a bag of chips and see how much of the bag is gone after 20 minutes.  You may be surprised by the result.

The easy answer to this problem is to cut the amount of salt in your diet.  After two or three weeks of little or no extra salt, you will find that salty snacks taste too salty and you will be inclined to skip them or cut way back on how much you eat.

The hard part is pulling it off.  Quitting cold turkey has a low success rate.  If you cannot go that route, then buy reduced-salt versions of your favorite snacks and go easy with the salt added when preparing foods.  As you get used to less salt in your diet, you will find it easier to resist the temptation of salty snacks.

Mistake #3 – Eating Right Before Bedtime

A key ingredient in your fight to lose tummy fat is to burn more calories than you consume.  Of all the activities that you do in a day, sleeping burns the fewest calories.

Eating just before you hit the sack is essentially sabotaging your efforts because you have filled your stomach with a bunch of calories, but will not be doing anything again until tomorrow.  Since you will not be burning the majority of those calories, your body will convert those unused calories into fat for later use.

Make it a practice to be sure to give yourself two hours of awake time after eating before going to bed.  If you are spreading your eating over 5-6 meals per day, you should find that this is easy to do.

Mistake #4 – Eating As Though “Weekend” Means “No Calories”

It is easy to let yourself go on the weekends.  This is a time that many of us get together with family and friends, a lot of times this means a trip to a restaurant.  Just because you are out for a good time does not mean that your choices do not have consequences.

Eating out is not a bad thing; it is just more difficult to know exactly what is in your meal.  Restaurant food is notorious for large serving sizes and for being loaded with such nice ingredients as saturated fat and sodium.

Knowing what makes a good food choice as opposed to a bad one is the easiest way to keep from wasting the hard work and good choices you put in Monday – Friday.  Pretty much anywhere you go will have menu items that are better choices than other items.  Keeping in mind that you are trying to lose tummy fat will help you make the right decisions.

Mistake #5 – Drinking

Alcohol is the arch enemy of weight loss plans.  The number of empty calories in one drink may not seem like much on its own, but how many times do you have just one drink?  If you have a drink or two each evening with dinner, by the end of the week you have consumed nearly one full day’s worth of calories.   Or worse, if you go bar hopping with friends, you can get all of those calories in one night.

A week is 7 days long, why hamper your weight loss program by eating 8 days worth of calories?

Add to the fact that alcohol lowers one’s inhibitions and it is easy to see that poor food choices will be made while drinking.  That is a double-whammy that will kill even the best efforts to lose tummy fat.

You have weight loss goals and do a lot of good things to work towards those goals, but there are traps out there waiting to sabotage your efforts.  By being aware of these traps you will make good choices and continue to lose tummy fat.  Before you know it, you will have blasted right through your hurdles and have the flat stomach you have always wanted.

Get Slim: The 4-Week Bodyweight Program is a post from: Lose Tummy Fat...Now!

Cardio exercise is such a strange thing. In theory, it should work so perfectly well for all men and women, but as anyone who has tried it knows, the practicality of it just doesn’t add up.

After all, some men and women do cardio 6 hours, 9 hours, or more per week, and still have belly fat to burn. On the other hand, it works just fine for others.

British researchers wanted to get more insight into this paradox, and studied 35 overweight men and women, who weren’t previously exercising.

(Reference: International Journal of Obesity 32: 177-184, 2008).

Subjects exercised 5 times per week for 12 weeks. That’s a lot of exercise, but it helped the subjects lose an average of 8.2 pounds, which is great – I was positively surprised by the results.

So cardio will work for some people, however, in my experience, it works best in young men, who need the help the least!

Back to the study, the variance in fat loss between individuals was huge. Check this out…

The best subject lost a staggering 32.3 pounds in 12 weeks, while the worst subject actually GAINED 3.74 pounds.

The scientists think they know where things went sour. They classified the subjects into 2 groups, called the “Compensators” and the “Non-compensators”.

The Compensators were hungrier, and as a result consumed an extra 268 calories per day, all but wiping out their cardio efforts.

Therefore, the Compensators lost the least amount of weight, and scientists believe that was due to the huge “compensatory” increase in appetite experienced by this group.

Does your appetite increase when you do slow cardio? If it does, research shows it will ruin your cardio efforts.

So if your cardio program is not working for you, check your appetite and calorie intake to see if you are “compensating” for your efforts. If you are, you might be better off using a program of high-intensity resistance and interval training (i.e. Turbulence Training) for your weight loss efforts.

As Australian Professor Steve Boucher has shown in research, interval training increases hormones called catecholamines. And increased catecholamines can reduce appetite, among other fat-burning benefits.

In the real world, few people lose 33 pounds after 12 weeks of cardio. Heck, few even achieve an average weight loss of 8 pounds with aerobic exercise.

So again, check your appetite, and consider giving high-intensity exercise a go for your next workout program.

Beat the curse of cardio with high-intensity Turbulence Training.

Why Cardio Doesn’t Work for Fat Loss is a post from: Lose Tummy Fat...Now!

The human body is truly amazing. If you think of all of the things it can do all on its own, it is hard to imagine how it does what it does. For most functions, this is a big positive. However, when it comes to weight loss it can be a big negative if not handled correctly.

As a matter of survival, the human body wants to be as efficient as possible.  Calories are used when only absolutely necessary. If the body can get by without using up a calorie, it will hold on to it for later use. This is great for those times when food is scarce.

However, for those trying to lose weight, this adds another opponent to the struggle. Your body will eventually adapt to changes you make in your diet. If you are trying to lose tummy fat, you need to change up your current eating routine so that this adaptation works for you rather than against you.

A terrific nutritional guide that will will help you blast tummy fat is instantly available, just Click Here to learn more.

The way you get your body to work with you is to increase your metabolism. A higher metabolism means a faster calorie burn. As we all know, burning more calories is needed in order to lose weight.

Here are four tips you can use to lose tummy fat today:

1. Avoid Fad Diets

What tends to happen with these diets is that people go on them for some amount of time, reach their goal weight and then go off the diet. Soon after she is back to or above her original weight.

When on the “diet” your body adapts to fewer calories by lowering its metabolism. This is the exact opposite of what you want.

2. Cut calories throughout the day

What many dieters do is cut calories by eliminating an entire meal; this is going to result in a lower metabolism. By cutting a portion of the total reduction at each meal, your body will not even notice.  You will continue to burn calories just as quickly as usual, but there will simply be fewer of them to burn each day.

3. Eat 6-8 small meals during the day

By keeping food in your stomach, you keep the engine burning throughout the day. Spacing the meals far apart causes your metabolism to rise and fall. A constant burn leads to a higher metabolic rate. Just make sure your meals are healthy. A candy bar and a bag of chips is a big, unhealthy snack, not a small meal.

4. Add some physical activity to your day

Going for a walk is a good start if you get virtually no physical activity during your day. If you get some activity already, adding a 20-minute workout a few days a week will help to blast the fat from your body.

By making these easy changes to your day, you will lose tummy fat without going on that dreaded diet. The key is to be consistent and keep your metabolism higher than it is right now.

Long story short, you only lose tummy fat when you burn more calories than you consume. The other great thing about following this plan is that adding some activity to your day means that you have fewer calories to cut from what you eat, so you may find that you are eating a just little bit less and the pounds are melting away.

Fat Burning Workouts to Obliterate Tummy Fat is a post from: Lose Tummy Fat...Now!

Do you find yourself struggling to find a way to lose tummy fat? If you are like many others, you want to flatten your stomach, but have questions about the best way to do it.

A flat stomach is a sign of a healthy person, so your desire for one is understandable.   The good news is that it is easier to do than you may think. So, let’s quickly get rid of the round belly you have and get the flat stomach you want.

One of the biggest obstacles faced by those who are looking to lose weight fast is that there does not seem to be a way to get results quickly. Fortunately this is not the case. You can lose tummy fat in as little as 10-20 minutes per day. Even the busiest of us can find the time needed for this important activity.

Before we get started, there is one big myth that I need to dispel.  Doing an endless number of sit-ups or crunches will not get you a flat stomach. The fact is, you can do crunches for hours on end, but if you do not eliminate the body fat on top of your abs, you will never see them.

The key to losing weight is to burn more calories than you consume. The fastest way to do this is to do some physical activity everyday. The exercises listed below will get your body moving.  Be active consistently and you will begin to lose tummy fat quickly.  The best part is that they can be done without any weights, so you can do them at home and save a trip to the gym.

1. Squats – This needs to be a staple of your workouts. Muscles need calories in order to work. Squats work a lot of muscles at the same time, so this exercise is an efficient way to burn up a lot of calories in a short period of time.  These can be done with your body weight, dumbbells or a barbell, depending on your preference.

2. Pull ups/Chin ups – Another exercise that uses many muscles at the same time. If you are beginning, start with chin-ups. When doing a chin up you grab the bar with your palms facing toward you. If you want a bigger challenge, do a pull up. When doing a pull-up, grasp the bar with your palms facing away from you.

3. Squat Thrusts (aka Burpies) – This is a calorie incinerator. If you have not done this exercise before, here is how to do it: Start in a standing position and then crouch down placing your palms on the floor. From the crouched position kick out your legs backwards to get into the push up position. Do one push up then bring your knees back in to get into the crouched position. From the crouched position jump straight up. That is one rep.

4. Mountain Climbers – This exercise will work your abs while also adding a cardio element to your workout. When doing these it is important to bring your knees into your chest as much as possible and then kick out as far back as you can.

If you noticed, none of these exercises are specifically targeting your abdominal muscles. The important part of your fast weight loss plan is to burn calories in order to strip away the body fat that is your belly. By doing the calorie-scorching exercises above, you will see great results in a very short time.

Of course you cannot do just these four exercises forever.

For one, you will get bored with them after a while and lose your motivation to keep going.  Consistency is vital.  There is a saying that I like: “Consistency is more important than Intensity”.  This means doing something on a regular basis is more effective than going real hard every once in a while.

Second, your body will adapt to them and it will eventually figure out how to conserve as many calories as possible while you do them. This means you will not continue to lose weight as fast as you did in the beginning. When this point is reached, most people get discouraged then give up.

To continue to lose tummy fat you will need to have a larger arsenal of fat burning exercises to use over time. By remaining motivated and keeping your body guessing, you will see the pounds melt away in no time.
