Three No Fail Secrets To Losing Belly Fat

The fitness industry wants you to believe that losing fat requires special exercise equipment, expensive weight loss supplements and diet pills. The Love Your Body Diet Course is proof that this isn’t the case. Losing fat doesn’t need to be difficult, especially when you are armed with the right information.

Many of my friends and personal training clients ask me, “Rick, how can I drop a few pounds of fat fast?” Usually they want to fit into a special dress for a party or look great for a first date but they all have one thing in common. The want to lose the fat quickly and easily.

I tell them: Yes, there is, and it is so simple to follow that you will kick yourself for not doing it sooner. So use these three tips to easily lose your first 10-15 lbs of unwanted belly fat.

Here are my 3 No Fail Secrets To Losing Belly Fat

1. Unsafe White Foods That Will Make Your Belly FAT: white rice, white potatoes, pasteurized dairy, cheese, bread, noodles, crackers, most cereals, flour based products, all make your belly Fat. White foods that help burn belly fat are chicken, turkey, fish, white pork and of course cauliflower.

2. Drink WATER, ONLY drink water, NOTHING else! “Can’t I drink tea or coffee?” Just to keep any possible withdrawal headaches at bay, one small cup of organic black coffee. Can you add half and half?…Well is it white? Drink a minimum of 1/2 of your body weight in ounces of water each day (ex. If you weigh 200 lbs, you need to drink 100 ounces) to really see the fat fall off.

3. Don’t eat anything with the word wheat in the ingredients list. What if it’s whole wheat? Look, if the word starts with W and ends in T and has the letters h e a in between, you can’t eat it. This includes bread, pasta, crackers and cereal.  Many packaged snack foods also contain wheat so be sure to read the ingredients list carefully. Our bodies are not designed to eat processed grains that become bread, cereal and noodles. Remember, in the beginning of time when we were cavemen, if you could not pick it from a tree or cook it on a stick over fire, you couldn’t eat it.

If you apply these three belly fat busting secrets to your diet for the next two weeks you sill see some amazing results. Get started on your own personal fat burning meal plans right away with The Love Your Body Diet Course.

Richard Hackworth says that Losing Weight is GOOD

Posted on January 11, 2010 by richardhackworth

Why Losing Weight is Good

There is a great benefit acquired from losing weight.  Though losing weight is not easy,  the long term effects brought by it would probably be of help to anyone considering to shed those unwanted and unhealthy pounds. 

The following are a few of the remarkable advantages from losing those excess weight.

Weight loss prevents high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke

That is a three in one benefit from losing weight.  It is a fact that heart disease and stroke are one of the primary reasons for disability and death in both men and women in the US.  People who are overweight have a higher risk to have high levels of cholesterol in their blood stream as well as triglycerides (also known as blood fat). 

Angina, one type of heart disease, could cause chest pains as well as a decrease in the oxygen pumped to the heart. 

Sudden death also occurs from heart disease and stroke, and usually this strikes with very little warning, signs and   symptoms.

It is a fact that by decreasing your weight by a mere five to ten percent, this could positively decrease the chances of you having or developing heart disease or a stroke.  Plus, how your heart functions would also improve as well as your blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride count will decrease.

Weight loss prevents type 2 diabetes

Diabetes puts in jeopardy one’s life as well as how one leads his or her life because of the complications that result from having it. Both types of diabetes, type one and type two are linked with being overweight. To those who already have diabetes, regular exercise and losing weight could help in controlling your blood sugar levels as well as the medication you may be currently taking. Increase your physical activity. You could simply walk, jog or dance. It helps get those blood streams moving as well as lose those unnecessary pounds.

Weight loss helps reduce your risk for cancer

Being overweight is linked with a number of kinds of cancer. Specially for women, the common types of cancer that is associated with being overweight include cancer of the uterus, gallbladder, ovary, breast, and colon. This is not meant to scare you, this is only to keep you informed. Men are at risk too from developing cancer if they are overweight. These include cancer of the colon, prostate and rectum. Extra weight, a diet high in fat and cholesterol should as much as possible be avoided.

Weight loss reduces sleep apnea

Or it could eliminate it all together. Sleep apnea is a condition wherein one could temporarily stop breathing for a brief period and then would continue to snore heavily. Sleep apnea could cause drowsiness or sleepiness during the day and – because of being overweight – could result in heart failure. Shedding those excess pounds could help in eliminating this problem.

Weight loss reduces the pain of osteoarthritis

When one weighs heavily, the joints of his or her knees, hips and lower back would have to exert double – if not triple – effort to carry him or her through out his/her waking, walking and moving life. This could cause tension and stress on these joints. Weight loss decreases the load these joints carry thus decreasing – if not eliminating – the pain of one who has osteoarthritis.

Overweight Health Problems

Posted on March 6, 2008 by luvbody

Quite apart from the fact that your body will be in better shape if you lose weight, there are many other health issues that will benefit from a reduction in body fat.

Diabetes is one of the most obvious areas of concern with overweight people with a large number of the population suffering from diabetes and the related health problems that this disease can bring with it.

Many people are unaware that diabetes is the leading cause of blindness. And diabetes is also a major cause of kidney disease.

In addition to this, diabetes increases your chance of having heart disease and suffering from a stroke by almost 400%.

In men it can also cause erectile dysfunction.

High blood cholesterol and high blood pressure are also prevalent with people who are overweight.

Even a small reduction in body fat can have quite a substantial effect on your overall quality of health and it will also help to reduce the possibility of you suffering from other diseases later in life.

If you are overweight you are also more likely to snore at night because the fatty tissue at the back of your throat will obstruct your breathing passage when you are lying down and due to this you won’t be getting good quality sleep and your energy levels will be reduced accordingly.

Losing even a small amount of body fat can reduce your snoring quite considerably and the benefit from getting better quality sleep at night is you will have a lot more energy.

Being over tired also tends to make most people want to eat more food in an attempt to boost energy levels and this only adds to your weight problems so as you can see all these little steps assist each other to help optimize your overall health and well-being.
