I thought this was an important topic to share with you because the reality is that most people simply don't realize how dangerous their excess abdominal fat really is to their health.
The Hidden Dangers of Your Excess Abdominal Fat - It's More Serious Than a
Vanity Issue!
by Mike Geary, Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer
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 demonstrated 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.
Part of the reason visceral fat is particularly dangerous is that it
apparently releases more inflammatory molecules into your body 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 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 the information I teach. 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.
Don't waste another day allowing that nasty abdominal fat to kill your
confidence as well as contribute to your risk for MAJOR diseases.
