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 is 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 every day 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.
