Suffering From Belly Fat?

Filed Under Fat Loss, Nutrition, lose belly fat, lose stomach fat, weight loss | Leave a Comment

Today I’ve got a killer article to share with you from my friend and fat loss guru John Romaniello.

In this article, John shares some awesome information, including:

1) The exact hormone most responsible for stubborn belly fat

2) The “secret” hormone no one talks about that you NEED more of to fight off the hormone from #1

3) A new, unusual training style that has been show to increase the hormone from #2

I GUARANTEE you’ll learn something new:

Suffering from Belly Fat?
By John Romaniello

Like many people, you probably suffer from regional fat storage issues. That is, while you store fat over your entire body, it’s probably most noticeable in certain areas, and it’s from these areas in which we struggle most to lose fat. You know–the problem areas.

These problem areas are influenced heavily by your hormonal environment, and where you store that last bit of fat is determined by which of your hormones are most out of whack (and yes, sometimes it’s quite a few of them).

Today I’m going to talk to you about belly fat specifically.

One of the things that has been talked about quite a bit in fitness media lately is the relationship between belly fat and a hormone called “cortisol.” To put it simply, the higher your cortisol levels, the more belly fat you’re likely to have.

By the same token, if you have a good deal of belly fat, it’s reasonable to assume that you have high cortisol.

Having high cortisol is detrimental for other reasons, but for our purposes, let’s focus on the fact that cortisol is keeping you not-so-little in the middle.

Rather than just suffer through this, the obvious solution is to try to lower cortisol levels and resultantly lower belly fat. And I’ll tell you, lowering cortisol is a LOT trickier than you might think.

I’m sure you’ve seen the late night TV ads trying to sell you anti-cortisol pills. Even if they worked (they don’t), it’s a hormone like cortisol can’t be fooled by a little pill.

Besides, wouldn’t it be much more effective to find a solution without taking expensive pills? Something that is also going to help you burn fat overall?

Well, that’s actually possible.

You see, I’m big on using certain hormones to tame other hormones. Essentially, you CAN actually fight hormones WITH hormones. Clever, I know. It’s just a matter of finding which hormones work well against one another. When it comes to cortisol (and belly fat), you need look no further than Growth Hormone.

Also known as Human Growth Hormone or simply GH, growth hormones is produced in the pituitary gland and is responsible for growth (obviously) among other things. More specific to this writing, growth hormones is actually one of the most effective things in the world to offset cortisol.

Put simply, if you want less cortisol, just make more growth hormone.

Just tell you body to do it. Make a few calls.

Okay okay, it’s not that simple…but I have some really good news.

Did you know that there are certain types of training that are actually exceedingly effective at producing growth hormone?

It’s true–indirectly.

You see, growth hormone is normally produced and released in response to something, and in the case of training, GH is released as a response to the production of something called lactic acid. Lactic acid is a waste byproduct of some of the chemical and metabolic processes that happen during exercise.

So, if you do exercise in a specific way, you can produce MORE lactic acid, which will then produce tremendous amounts of growth hormone as a result. That growth hormone surge will also help to work against your high cortisol levels. And as we’ve established, that will absolutely assist you in getting rid of your stubborn belly fat.

Of course, you’re wondering: how to I do it!? It’s easy. While lactic acid is produced in most forms of intense exercise, there is an unusual style of exercise that can actually produce even MORE lactic acid than is generally possible with other types of exericse. Appropriately (and not-so-cleverly) called “lactic acid training,” this type of training uses slow lifting speeds and fast lowering speeds.

The reason for the structure is that lactic acid is primarily produced during the “concentric” or positive/lifting phase of an exercise, and not so much during the “eccentric” or negative/lowering phase. To take advantage of this and produce more lactic acid, we simply–with apologies to Bing Crosby–accentuate the positive and (almost but not quite) eliminate the negative of each rep on all of our exercises.

To quantify it a bit, for each rep, you’d lift it over a period of about 4 seconds, and lower the weight extremely quickly, but safely.

If you were squatting, you’d drop down to the bottom position relatively quickly, and push slowly back to the top. In an overhead press, you’d lower the dumbbells quickly but safely, and press them back over your head over a period of 4-6 seconds.

Performing exercises with these extended concentric movements is going to create a tremendous amount of lactic acid, which in turn is going to prompt your body to produce fantastic amounts of growth hormone. And that growth hormone is going to help you manage cortisol and fight belly fat.

And if all THAT wasn’t enough, lactic acid training is also just a great fat loss training methods, so you’ll lose fat overall.

If you want to fight your cortisol issues, you need growth hormone. And for that you need lactic acid training. Utilizing this method, you’re one step closer to fighting off your belly fat for good.

———————————————

Pretty cool, huh? John is a MASTER at pinning “good” hormones and specific exercise up against the “bad” hormones that cause regional fat storage.

And in his new program (which is available at a full 52% OFF until tomorrow), Final Phase Fat Loss, provides you with specific types of exercises and workouts to combat:

1. Estrogen, “man boobs” and lower-body fat (combatted with “Density” training and Testosterone)

2. Insulin, and your “love handles (combatted with “Dynamic” training and IGF-1)

3. And of course, Cortisol and belly fat (combatted with specific “Lactic Acid” training and Growth Hormone)

If you struggle with “problem area” fat storage, this is THE program to set you free. And right now, it’s still 52% OFF (but not for much longer).

I hope you enjoyed today’s article, and I hope you choose to invest in John’s system before the Grand Opening Special closes tomorrow.

Have a great day!

What is Wrong With Vegetables These Days?

Filed Under Fat Loss, Nutrition, lose belly fat, lose stomach fat, weight loss | Leave a Comment

It goes against everything we’ve been told. Eat your veggies to boost your immune system. They have tons of Vitamins, Minerals, and anti-oxidents. They help eliminate food cravings & control our appetite.

And they help fight against Fat.

Or DO THEY?

Recent data released by the USDA says otherwise. Over the past 50 years store bought fruits and veggies have been losing their luster, and they’re not as Nutrient Packed as we think.

Here’s the data from a few store bought veggies under the microscope

Tomatoes of Today contain
- 29% LESS iron
- 57% LESS Calcium
- 46% LESS Vitamin A

Carrots of Today contain
-40% LESS Iron
-33% LESS Calcium

Broccoli of Today contain
-27% LESS iron
-60% LESS Calcium
-52% LESS Vitamin A

Sweet Corn of Today contain
- 76% LESS Calcium
- 22% LESS Vitamin A

Due to farmers using hybrids to create a better looking crop to put on the shelves so that they SELL BETTER, our favorite fruits and veggies are being depleted of their precious vitamins and minerals.

Those are just 4 examples, but when I read this report I was totally appalled…

Not because the hybrid crops are yielding less nutrients, but because

NO ONE IS TELLING US ABOUT IT….

NOR are they giving us better options..

Here are 2 other options to get your veggies to ensure they are rich in vitamin & minerals:

1) Grow our own garden - Not exactly plausible for everyone. Plus it’s a
long pain-staking process, especially if you don’t have a green thumb

2) Seek out your local home-grown fruit and veggie market, and buy your
stuff there.

Growing a garden isn’t the best option for everyone, but local farmer’s markets have great produce as compared to its store bought counterpart.

Plus you’ll know it’s not devoid of the precious nutrients that help eliminate our food cravings & control our appetites…

If you haven’t seen this yet, this is one of my favorite nutrition sources to help you permanently eliminate cravings, control your appetite,and get a lean body…

1 Unique Spice That Beats Abdominal Fat

Filed Under 6 pack abs, Fat Loss, Main Content, Nutrition, lose belly fat, weight loss | Leave a Comment

I have a great article for you today from one of my trusted colleagues, Certified Nutrition Specialist, Mike Geary . It’s about a specific spice that could help you to burn body fat and get leaner, in an indirect way…

Enjoy!

1 Unique Spice That Beats Abdominal Fat:

Ok, this spice that I’m going to mention is one of the most overlooked, but healthiest spices in the world…

You might even call it a “fat burning spice”… in a roundabout way.

And yes, it can actually help you win the battle against abdominal fat if you use it daily…I’ll explain why.

Here are some other benefits of this miracle spice:

*controls blood sugar levels
*helps maintain insulin sensitivity
*a very powerful antioxidant
*may have antibacterial and antifungal properties
*and dozens of other benefits

So what is this miracle spice?

Well… it’s good old tasty Cinnamon!

Although cinnamon does not directly increase fat burning (such as by increasing metabolic rate, etc), it CAN actually help you to burn off abdominal fat and get leaner through an indirect link.

Here’s how…

Although cinnamon has dozens of health benefits, the main benefit that will help you to get leaner is through it’s strong effect on controlling blood sugar levels in your body.

In a study published in 2003 in the medical journal Diabetes Care, groups were split into people taking 1, 3, or 6 grams of cinnamon per day in capsule form (the equivalent of approx 1/4th to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon).

The results of the study showed that all 3 amounts of cinnamon reduced fasting blood glucose levels by 18-29% after 40 days.

Cinnamon can also increase insulin sensitivity, which essentially means that it is helping your body to control blood sugar while simultaneously allowing your body to produce less insulin.

As you know, chronically high insulin levels can make your body pack on the blubber.

How to harness this to lose more fat…

One possible way to benefit from cinnamon to lose more fat is to use cinnamon daily in your meals when you can, such as in yogurt or cottage cheese, in smoothies, oatmeal, or anything else you can think of where it would go well.

Also, you could use a cinnamon capsule before each of your meals.

This could help to control blood sugar and insulin response from your meals and thereby control your appetite and cravings throughout the day… hence, helping you to lose body fat more effectively over time.

So now you can see that not only is cinnamon a powerful antioxidant that can help you stay youthful longer, it can also help you to control blood sugar and get a leaner body!

Note: please make sure to consult your doctor before adding any new foods or spices to your nutrition plan if you are taking any medications or have food allergies.

Nutrition Process to Lose Belly Fat

Filed Under 6 pack abs, Fat Loss, Main Content, Nutrition, lose belly fat, lose stomach fat, weight loss | 12 Comments

Let’s dive into Part II of the Fat Loss Process head first, and cover the Nutrition portion of your first short term goal that we discussed last time.

But before we get started, I just want to make sure I’m clear that…

It doesn’t matter what your specific goal is. It could be to lose 7 pounds in a month, it could be to lose 1 pound a week…

Heck, it could even be to gain 2 pounds of muscle in 3 weeks.

This isn’t about the specific goal, it’s about the process to reach that goal.

And I also want to be clear that the short term goal isn’t restricted to 4 week blocks. It could even be set in 2 week blocks like I used for the http://SixPackAbsProject.com.

The important thing is to just set a short time frame, cut your big goal into a realistic chunk, and get after it.

Just like the Washing Clothes example earlier, there are 3 Main Parts to any successful fitness program.

1) Nutrition
2) Training
3) Cardio

And Each of these 3 have their own small processes that need laser sharp focus to be successful.

Since we’re discussing nutrition today, you probably already know that calculations and food choices are “involved”.

But what we may not realize is that those 2 things are just small parts of the big picture. They are NOT the single most important things of our nutrition process.

They are JUST Processes.

Let me give you an example.

Here’s a formula to calculate the number of calories we need to consume per day to maintain our current weight:

Men’s Formula:

66+(6.22 x bodyweight in lbs)+(12.7 x Height inches)-(6.8 x Age)= Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
*Multiply RMR By our Activity Factor (1.3 to 2.0), and this will give us our daily maintenance calories

Women’s Formula

665+(4.36 x bodyweight in lbs)+(4.32 x Height) inches-(4.7 x Age)= Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
*Multiply RMR By our Activity Factor (1.3 to 2.0), and this will give us our daily maintenance calories

Once we deduce our maintenence calories, we subtract 500 calories…..

And this is the number of calories we should consume per day to lose approximately 1 pound of fat per week.

Next we match up foods that help us reach the daily caloric requirements.

It could be mixed and matched…

Steak & potato

Chicken & Broccoli

The How to Get Six Pack Abs Cheeseburger (my fav)

The list goes on and on.

So we have a food list, we have the calories that we need each day to lose a pound of fat per week.

THEN WHAT?

The first answer that likely comes to our mind is to just put the foods together and get it done.

But this is usually where we get it all wrong. Because it’s not really THAT easy unless you have a list of things to check off each time something is done.

Because just like the example with washing clothes, each small step needs to be completed one at a time.

So, it does take a little preparation, and a little bit of thought, but it won’t kill us, I promise; because we’ll break it into even smaller chunks that are easy to focus our undivided attention.

Here’s what I would consider the 5 Basic Nutrition Processes:

1. Calculating our Calories
2. Making a grocery list of our (approved) preferred foods
3. Going to the store and purchasing the foods
4. Preparing the foods
5. Consuming the foods

Now, I think you’ll agree, on the surface this looks really simple.

Each of the Processes have several small action steps that should be completed based on the respective frequency of the process.

For example, let’s take “Preparing the Foods” Process, and answer a few of the questions we’ll use to formulate our own personal Nutrition Plan to follow, assuming we’re determined to reach our end goal.:

1. How often will we prepare our food?
- Will we cook each day as we go?
- Will we cook enough to last 2-3 day?
- Will we cook enough for a week?

2. How will we store our food?
- Will we just put it all in 1 big container?
- Will we seperate it out into portions so that
it’s ready to heat and eat?

3. How will we transport and store our food at work?
- Do we have access to a refrigerator at work?
- Will we have to work around our work schedule and
just consume meal replacement bars or shakes at work
and eat our prepared food at home?

Once we have those questions answered, the hard work is out of the way, and we simply lay out the process as we have it answered above..

So here’s what a “sample” Nutrition process may look like:

1. calculate our calories (Only have to do this Once)
2. choose approved foods to prepare for the week
3. go to the grocery store once per week
4. prepare our food to last 3 days at a time
5. Every 3rd day will be a cooking day for the next 3 days’ meals
6. we have our food portioned and placed in containers so that it’s easy to transport and eat
7. We know what we’re taking to work with us each day, and what we’ll be eating.

As you can see, once we break down each part, it becomes extremely manageable. This is why focusing on the process and action steps is so powerful. In this example, we focus all our attention on choosing, buying, preparing and consuming our food.

Nothing more, nothing less.

So, the next step in the overall process is to actually lay out a step by step workout action plan to achieve your first 4 Week Goal… And then follow it.

I’ll be more than happy to dive deeper into this in my next blog post, but before I do, I want to make sure you want this information…

And I want to make sure we have a grasp on everything covered today.

So, you can let me know whether you want me to move on to the next process or discuss the Nutrition process a little more before moving on by leaving a comment below.

** The last post received 64 comments, so if we receive at least 50 comments on THIS post, we’ll discuss more on the processes in the next post. If not, we’ll move on to a different topic. Cool?
