Why excess abdominal fat is more deadly than you think

Below is an article contributed by Mike Geary, the founder of TruthAboutAbs.com . 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.

Get the solution to rid yourself for life of this problem at...

Disturbing Fact You Might Not Like…

Fitness pros get a bad rap at times. And hey, sometimes it's well deserved. It's unfortunate, but there are still way too many "meat head" trainers who are more interested in looking at themselves in a mirror than they are in their own clients.

But we also take heat at times for being too interested in looks and appearance than health and wellness.

Well, I'm going to fill you in on a little secret. We've tried to market our businesses by educating people about the health benefits of proper nutrition and exercise. We'd love for people to care more about their health than how they look.

Unfortunately, and this holds true for the vast majority of people, they only care about their health once they've lost it.

Think about that for a little bit.

I can tell you right now the unscrupulous marketers online are making a FORTUNE promoting these Acai Berry pills right now. And they are able to do that because they are promoting it as weight loss and not the real benefit of Acai Berry.

It is the "magic pill" of the day. If you've been paying attention to the weight loss market you'll know it used to be Hoodia.

Now, you might not like it, but I'm not going to be the one to lie to you. I'm not going to be the one to tell you take this little pill and watch the weight fall off. Acai Berry is a heck of an antioxidant that can help your body fight the aging process and help boost your immune system, but it's not going to flush the excess pounds off your belly, butt, hips and thighs. Sorry.

Now my friends at Fitness By Tracy have an amazing product that includes Acai Berry as one of its main ingredients. But unlike the Grade A scumbags out there lying to you, they only promote their product for what it is; a very powerful Antioxidant formula to help boost your health.

So if your health is of interest to you then definitely check out Fitness By Tracy

Sorry if this ticks you off. I'm here to shed light on the truth for you. It's up to YOU to decide whether or not your health is more valuable to you than your appearance.

Yours in health,

Tracy Gunnels

PS - Again, if you value your health and want help with the aging process I can't recommend
Fitness By Tracy to you enough.

http://tgunnels29.7daybelly.hop.clickbank.net/ <------- LAST Chance to Lose BellyFat Forever

These are people who were, not too long ago, just like you.
They were embarrassed about their bodies. They were worried
sick about their health and the example they were setting for loved
ones. And they never thought they could ever find a way to
REALLY lose that bellyfat, because they'd failed so many times
in the past.

They'd practically given up all hope.

But they did lose the bellyfat fast with a PROVEN program…
and now they're loving life. They've dropped 20, 40, 60, 80
and 100+ pounds faster than they ever thought possible. And
you WILL do the same. You just need to decide to take that
first step by visiting that little link below. Prepare to be inspired

I tend to be a little addicted to working out...

So, I'm trying to make sure I take off a day between strength training days.

I had a great DENSITY workout yesterday. I'm really trying to improve my squat form. It is getting better and better.

Today I performed the 5 minute mini circuit this morning. I will ride my bike and spend some time outside this afternoon walking and playing with BJ. She is LOVING this cooler weather. The best thing about it for me is NO bugs. I don't really mind the heat. I like to sweat, but the bugs drive me insane.

37 New Foods That Kill Belly Fat Faster ($400 Bonus)

If you’ve been online over the past few weeks, you’ve probably heard all of the buzz and commotion about my good friend and fat loss “guru” Josh Bezoni’s hot, new program called The 7-Day Belly Blast Diet.

In it, he reveals some VERY sneaky tricks to KILL up to 11 lbs of belly fat, excess water, and toxic waste in just 7 days. (It’s crazy, but true.) And one of these tricks involves eating a lot more of these 37 belly-blasting foods…

37 New Foods That KILL Belly Fat Fast

But it gets even BETTER. Because you’re a VIP Subscriber to my newsletter, you’re invited to an “invitation only” pre-sale, and I twisted Josh’s arm to include a VERY special, 24-hour belly-blasting bonus (valued at $400). But it is ONLY available until MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.

1. Today is the “official” RELEASE of the 7-Day Belly Blast Diet and to celebrate, Josh is having a big 3-day pre-sale and including a special belly-blasting bonus that will ONLY be available until MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.

2. This pre-sale is HIDDEN from the general public, at a special website page that has been set up ONLY for Josh’s closest fitness friends.

3. WARNING: this high-speed belly blasting program is NOT for professional body builders or for people who have a few vanity pounds to lose. This program is for busy folks who LOVE TO EAT and struggle to find the energy, will power, and extra time in their day to achieve fast and lasting results.

You see, the secret to this program is that it harnesses the power of 3 sneaky tricks to overcome the 3 biggest obstacles that are keeping you from achieving a flat belly fast.

And by the way, one of these sneaky tricks is a new technology Josh developed called “Calorie Confusion,” which ensures that you keep getting rapid fat loss results without hitting a plateau or experiencing that dreaded rebound.

And the crazy thing is, even though this isn’t a difficult program to follow, it’s still VERY powerful. The first people to experience this program dropped as much as 11 pounds of belly fat, excess water, and toxic waste in the very first 7 days.

4. Special notice, TODAY ONLY: while the “opening day” pre-sale special will only be available until Thursday, September 30th, when you order within the next 24 hours you will get a $400 value FAST ACTION BONUS.

Josh and Kim are NOT available for direct one-on-one coaching, but when you get The 7-Day Belly Blast Diet TODAY, you’ll get access to this LIVE call for *FREE*.

The truth is, I wouldn’t be recommending this program if I didn’t believe in it 100%. If you’re interested in using some very sneaky tricks to overcome the 3 things that are keeping you from a flat belly, without having to turn your life upside down to do it, then this is THE program to get your hands on. And right now, you can get it before anyone else during this invitation-only pre-sale:

P.S. I almost forgot, you can do all of this while enjoying foods like dark chocolate, peanut butter, and even BBQ. (No kidding):

3 Problems with Interval Training

By Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS

Interval training is not as good as *they* make it out to be.

Seriously.

By *they*, I mean the inexperienced personal trainers and generic

fitness magazines who aren't sure what they are talking about.

In fact, the advice they'll give you can cause a LOT of problems

with your interval training -- including the BIG 3 I'm about to

share with you...

After all, you're probably already doing some form of interval

training, but what kind of RESULTS are you getting?

Are you truly enjoying your workouts?

When is the last time you did an interval training workout where you

thought 'Wow, that was really fun!'?

Trust me, you CAN have fun, fast, proven, and powerful interval

training workouts. I'll show you how in a second, but first...

The 3 Problems With Interval Training

1) Intervals can stop working if you do the same workout over & over

Yes, you MUST switch up your interval training every 4-6 weeks.

If you continue to do the same interval workout, you're results will

slow down.

So if you're doing intervals and you're stuck at a fat loss plateau,

then it is time for a new interval workout.

2) Intervals can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing

Jumping into an advanced interval program on the treadmill or with

kettlebells is a bad idea. That's why you need to start safely.

However, most people don't realize that even beginners can do

interval training if they get a professionally designed program.

Fortunately, there are beginner interval workouts in my new manual.

3) You don't know what else to do for intervals

Okay, great, now you know that you need to do a different interval

program every 4 weeks, but what are you to do?

Well, the great news is that there are dozens and dozens of ways to

do intervals. You can do the 30-60 method, Adrenaline intervals,

Tabata intervals, and even aerobic intervals (perfect for runners

who want fat loss).

There is absolutely no reason you should ever be bored of interval

training or wondering what type of intervals you should do next.

BUT WAIT...One more problem: You don't have any fancy equipment!

Most people think you need a treadmill or bike to do interval

workouts, but that can't be further from the truth.

In the 31 Interval Training Workouts manual, you'll discover how to

do intervals with kettlebells, hill sprints, and even bodyweight

exercises (including a NEW bodyweight cardio 5x5 circuit).

In fact, I've spent this summer in my "Turbulence Training lab"

creating the Ultimate Interval Training Guide, featuring over 31

different interval workouts and replacements...

...including NO-equipment bodyweight cardio circuits, kettlebell

intervals and "ladders", hill sprint workouts, and much, much more.

The new TT 31 Interval Training Workouts Manual solves all of the

BIG 5 problems with interval training and gives you the much needed

variety for your fat burning workouts.

But the only way to get these 31 NEW workouts is by taking advantage

of a 50% off sale this week ONLY here.

Interval Training Workouts

With these workouts you'll have the exact prescription for fast fat

loss from intervals. No more of that generic "get on the treadmill

and then go fast and then go slow" advice you get from uneducated

members at the gym or at work.

This is the real deal.

You'll soon be boosting your metabolism with proven, powerful

interval training workouts from one of the first trainers to

introduce fat loss intervals to the world.

I've been using and preaching intervals for over 13 years now, and

having trained thousand of clients - in person and online - I know

exactly what works.

Fixing intervals to help you lose fat fast. Get all of those new

interval workouts here.

Get it now!

Looking forward to your success story!

(But hurry, this offer is only available until Friday.)

Top 5 Fat Loss Tips

By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS

Turbulence Training

Men's Fitness magazine recently asked me for 3 of my best fat loss

secrets. Since most times the magazines just don't have enough space

to run my full tips, I thought I'd give you a more detailed

explanation of my secrets here (plus a few extra bonus tips that I

didn't send to the magazine).

Secret #1 - Focus on burning carbohydrate, not fat, during your

fat-loss workouts.

Sounds backwards, right? But not when you look at how I structure

my workouts. Remember that Turbulence Training focuses on resistance training

and interval training. Both of these use carbohydrate as the main

source of energy. So it's obvious the workout is designed to burn

carbohydrates during the training session. I have no interest in you trying to train in your "target heart

rate zone" for fat burning (aka - the fat burning zone). The whole

idea of a fat-burning zone is an over-simplified idea of how the

body works during exercise. Leave the inefficient fat burning zone to the mis-educated trainers

in the commercial gyms (that not surprisingly, also want to sell you

a heart rate monitor so you can stay in your "fat burning heart

rate zone"). If you want to get the most results in the least amount of time,

focus on burning carbohydrates, not fat. Why do my fat loss workouts focus on burning carbohydrate rather

than fat? In order to burn more calories after the workout, that's why. When

you exercise with intervals and heavy resistance training, your body

uses more calories in the hours after exercise than it would if you

did traditional cardio and lifted lighter weights. I call this 'Turbulence'. By any name it gives you the same results

- maximum improvements in your body composition (helping you lose

fat while gaining muscle).

Secret #2 - Use a range of repetitions in your strength training

workouts.

In order to train more muscle fibers and burn more carbohydrates, I

have clients use a range of repetitions within the same workout. The Turbulence Training workouts now use 6, 8, and 12 reps per set

in order to work the muscle the most effectively. This will burn more carbohydrates and promote as much muscle growth

as possible when you are keeping the calories low.

Secret #3 - Use the stationary cycle for interval training.

I choose the stationary bike for intervals whenever possible

because cycling against a resistance can help maintain muscle mass. Cycling against a resistance also allows you to perform a large

amount of mechanical work, and that is a key determinant of the Turbulence in my training. But please note: I don't use low-intensity, fast pedaling 'spinning'

intervals as I'm convinced that the hard, resistance based intervals are more effective for fat loss. My clients only cycle

against a strong resistance in their intervals. And while I really like the bike, but there are many other ways to

do intervals. Use what works for you, but if you are at a plateau, try the bike.

Secret #4 - Increase meal frequency

Okay, so this isn't really a secret to anyone that has read about

fat loss. But a 2005 study from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition

showed that eating 6 times per day was associated with eating fewer

calories per day, lowering cholesterol levels, and lowering

post-meal insulin levels. Combine an increased meal frequency with an increased protein and

fiber intake, and you'll see your body composition improve rapidly.

If you need more nutrition help, then you'll love the new

Turbulence Training Nutrition Guide for Men & Women - written by

Dr. Chris Mohr, Ph.D.

See below for more details...

Secret #5 - My Synergistic Turbulence Training Workouts

My Turbulence Training Fat Loss workouts are fast becoming the most

effective way to burn fat, build muscle, and get lean. The

synergistic strength training-interval training workouts are

efficient and effective - getting you in and out of the gym in

under an hour. Here are some tips that you can use for an advanced training phase.

Use these advanced secrets for 2 weeks then return to your normal

training schedule:

a) Add 10 seconds to each interval but maintain the intensity

b) Add in some bodyweight circuits (10-20 minutes per day) done in

the morning or evening (if you do your regular workout in the AM, do

your bodyweight circuits after dinner; otherwise, do the bw circuits

first thing in the AM, and then do your regular workout at lunch or

later in the afternoon or evening)

If you are advanced, you can use squats, pushups, and bodyweight

rows for your circuit.

If you are a beginner, you could use lying hip extensions, modified

pushups, and stick-ups.

c) Add an extra set to each exercise in the first superset you do

in each workout.

Again, use these three tips for an advanced fat loss period of two

weeks, then return to a normal training schedule.

But always stick to the best fat loss nutrition plan possible.

If you have any other questions, just let me know.

Sincerely,

Craig Ballantyne

I have to say, I am loving this "almost" fall weather. I've been spending a lot of time outside soaking up some Vitamin D (sun)! BJ is loving it too. I have to drag her back to the house when it's time to go in for a while. When the weather changes just a little, my 10 year old dog, becomes a puppy again!

I have about 4 weeks at home now, so I plan to enjoy every moment of it. October will be slammed busy!

This week I've started doing a 5 minute mini set 1^st thing in the morning, well after my 1^st cup of coffee.

50 seconds squats, 10 seconds rest

50 seconds lunges, 10 seconds rest

50 seconds pull downs, 10 seconds rest

50 seconds push ups, 10 seconds rest

50 seconds plank, 10 seconds rest

Planks are the HARDEST for me!

I am going to start a weekly newsletter to include at least one article per week of the following:

1) exercise

2) nutrition

3) natural health

I hope everyone has a great weekend. Get outside and enjoy this fantastic weather!

(HDT) BETTER ABS IN 3 MINUTES?

I got this email today from Jon Benson.

Franky, I'm shocked.

His abs look pretty awesome for a former "fatty" as he calls himself... and at the age of 46!

What's even more shocking is that he trains his abs in 3 minutes, 3 days per week.

Here's how he does it... in his own words.

Oh, and be SURE to visit his homepage for more info!

Better Abs in 3 Minutes
By Jon Benson

Abs.

Everyone wants a tighter tummy.

Guys want a six-pack... ladies want a slim, firm waistline... and yes, some want a six-pack too.

Why be sexist? ; )

So needless to say people are freaked out to find that I train my abs in about 3 minutes.

Total.

Here's how:

http://www.7minutemuscle.com/go/40butfit     <---discount

Let me give you the dirty facts about my abs.

They are the worst part of my body... and one of the best parts at the same time.

The "worst" bit has nothing to do with muscles or even bodyfat most of the time... but SKIN.

Remember, I was obese... 46-inch waist and 38 percent bodyfat.

So my skin got pretty messed up. It never quite recovered from that and I have a "bit" of loose skin around my abs.

Drives me nuts. I may have it removed! ; )

But other than THAT... my abs are pretty good.

Here's a pretty recent shot (after a workout taken with an iPhone... so hardly a professional shot... but you get the idea... )

<img src="http://www.7minutemuscle.com/images/jon_gym_bw.jpg     Jon's Abs

This is after THREE MINUTES of ab training done 2-3 times a week.

Let me spell out my thoughts on this:

     If you are training your abs longer      than 7 minutes a week you are doing      something wrong... or you're just      wasting your time.

Sorry to break it to you, but abs develop fast.

It's the BODYFAT you need to focus on.

Still, you need abs... and my HDT-Style Training in 7 Minute Body and 7 Minute Muscle will get you those abs uber-fast:

Go watch and read how it works now.

Before you do, let me give you a substitute exercise for one of the three I recommend during my "3-Minute Abs" routine (found in both books on the page above.)

Hanging leg raises... they are the best when done the way I show you in my book.

BUT some people do not have the gym or the straps I recommend.

So do this instead: Leg raises on a Swiss Ball, bench or even off the floor.

Here's the tip: Raise the legs, pause at the top for 2 seconds and blow ALL of your air out. Contract your abs HARD at the top.

Then and ONLY then lower the legs slowly.

If you do this right there's no way to get more than 15 reps. I get about 8 before my abs give out!

That's all it takes. You do NOT need "high reps" to develop your abs. In fact LOW reps work better...

You just need resistance... and my way of training gives you plenty.

This means a LOT less time doing the exercises and a LOT MORE time enjoying the nice set of tummy muscles you've built.

Sounds like a plan.

P.S. Here's the latest for those interested in my ongoing legal issues with selling rights to a publisher.

This concerns YOU as the price for 7 Minute Muscle and 7 Minute Body will NOT be under my control as soon as the contracts are signed.

This was supposed to happen today... but as luck (for you!) would have it, I got caught in Austin traffic at 5:30pm and missed my 6:00 meeting with the publishers.

The president leaves town tonight-Sunday.

SO NOW... I can extend my half-price (more than half-off the Advanced Videos!) for a few more days...

... so go here:

http://www.7minutemuscle.com/go/40butfit      <---discount

P.P.S. In case you're wondering, this is not a clever marketing ploy... 7MM and 7MB are both being acquired by a publisher.

The recognize the amazing benefits this style of workouts offer anyone at any age... fatburning and muscle-shaping...

Otherwise they would not be writing such a nice check... : )

I bought a Jeep with it. So it's not making me a millionaire or anything, but it's nice to have my hard work rewarded!

Even nicer than that, I get the chance to almost give away my "baby" to you if you don't have it already...

When the deal is done, here is what you can expect to happen:

1. The page below WILL change, and that includes the price... they think the price is not right. (I think that means too low... ha... ; )

2. The specials will end due to the fact they will send millions of people to the site rather than a few hundred thousand (my readers and my] affiliates send about that much.)

3. The book will end up in some bookstore eventually... and that's FINE unless they want to alter the content... which I have a provision to prevent.

Sorry to ramble on about this, but I want you to know the integrity of the guy sending you emails every day...

Sure, I like to make a living. Who doesn't?

But I won't sell my soul to do it.

I won't give up what I KNOW works to make a buck or two... so that means I maintain TOTAL creative control over these books even after the publishers take over.

In fact I'm negotiating a position WITH this firm so I can make SURE I maintain control... and folks, I HATE working for other people!

But it is worth it... IF I can keep the quality of the materials where they are.

And they are 100% solid.

And right now they are 200% cheaper than normal... so if you don't know what all the fuss is about with all of this "7 minute workout" stuff (I prefer the 14-minute advanced workouts, which you can get too) ...

FASTER FAT BURNING/MUSCLE SHAPING WITH HDT WORKOUTS

All this past week I've been telling you about this:

http://www.7minutemuscle.com/go/40butfit   <---new.page

This is all about how shorter workouts (7-14 minutes) are better for fatloss AND muscle gain than longer workouts.

Naturally this freaks a lot of people out.

When they see me they assume I train for hours a day.

Wrong. I work out about 3 hours a week total in the gym when I'm not preparing for a photoshoot. When I am I increase the cardio... that's it.

However, I spend HALF the year training about 1.5 hours a week in the gym using my 7 Minute Muscle workouts.

I like training longer, so I mix it up... but the results I get from 7 Minute Muscle are equal OR better than longer workouts so this next year I plan to train using 'nothing' but 7MM.

More here:

http://www.7minutemuscle.com/go/40butfit   <---new.page

I've been getting swamped with questions about one thing in particular:

    WHY are shorter workouts better for fatloss?

The secret behind this is a trademarked term (by me... : )

     HDT    "Hyper-Density Training"

HDT is the most unique form of density training there is.

Density training is basically more work in less time.

This creates the demand for more energy.

More energy spent = greater fatloss.

More energy demanded = more lean muscle.

     All of this in 7-14 minutes per day.

     3-5 days per week.

I made a new website about HDT to explain it.

Go here now...

this comes down in a few days:

P.S. HDT works for everyone, even those who workout in their home without weights.

On The Road Again...

I will be heading out again tomorrow to work Thursday to Sunday at the BuckARama in Perry, GA!

FIVE SUPER SIMPLE FAT LOSS TIPS

Fat loss isn't rocket science. I know we love to make our problems seem much bigger than they really are, but when you really look at them they're typically easy to solve. And that's often the case with fat loss.

To prove it to you here are five super simple fat loss tips you can easily follow:

1) Stop guzzling liquid sugar. Yes, I mean soft drinks and juices and bottles of iced tea loaded with high fructose corn syrup. For the most part, a 12 oz can of cola is 150 calories of pure sugar. Have a couple of those a day...

2) I've written it a gazillion times and I will continue to - eat breakfast! If you want to make fat loss easy then make sure you start your metabolism off on the right foot.

3) Eat more fruit. Aim for at least 5 servings a day.

4) Eat more veggies. Again, aim for at least 5 servings a day.

5) Stop eating so many processed foods. If it comes in a box from your grocery store it's most likely processed. The fresher the foods the better.

* Bonus tip*

You can make tips 3 and 4 a breeze by using a whole foods based multi. Personally, I love Prograde Nutrition's VGF 25+

http://TGunnels29.getprograde.com/vgfmen

OR

http://TGunnels29.getprograde.com/vgfwomen

because it is made from 25 WHOLE veggies, greens and fruits.

THE BEST 16-MINUTE WORKOUT EVER

When Jon Benson wrote "7 Minute Muscle" and "7 Minute Body" (the in-home version; both books come in the same package) I thought he was doing the muscle-mass crowd a huge favor.

I was right... and I was wrong.

I was right because the 7MM-style training has put serious muscle shape, tone, and size on people from all ages.

I was WRONG because it did more than just add lean muscle:

THIS makes people THINNER...

http://www.7minutemuscle.com/go/40butfit%20-close-out-SALE

The short version of the science behind why this happens and a sample workout routine is included in today's newsletter.

Yep: the workout Jon intended people to use for building muscle turned into one of the fastest ways to melt body fat.

Weird.

The secret is density training.

Density is basically getting the most amount of work done in the least amount of time. More work in less time = more energy.

More energy spent = greater fatloss.

Fatloss (and muscle-shaping) is not an issue of length of time as much as it is an issue of work divided by time.

The body was made to perform in bursts, not in long bouts. This is why our immediate fuel sources (which come mostly from carbohydrates) are WAY too efficient... so much so that we store incredible amounts of fat from consuming too many of the "fast-fuel" foods.

The best way to combat this fat-storing problem is to use your body the way it was designed to be used: In bursts of fat-burning power that are intense, short, and highly focused.

That's the basics behind density training.

http://www.7minutemuscle.com/go/40butfit ; <--close-out-SALE

Want a practical example? Great... let's look at a 7 Minute Muscle chest workout followed by a 7 Minute Muscle "GXP" Cardio workout.

Your total workout time: A whopping 16 minutes.

That's "TOTAL" workout and cardio time, minus a short warm-up.

After your warm-up, you would start with the first of two "Phases":

The first 5 minutes is called The Power Phase.

This is followed by The Mass Phase (Mass is for adding lean muscle) which last only 2 minutes.

During the Power Phase, your weight you select for any movement (from a bench press to a push-up) stays the same. This makes it very easy to shorten your rest intervals between sets.

Your repetitions will be a maximum of 5 for your Power Phase using a weight that's about 60% of your normal 5-rep max. You will rest as little as possible between sets.

The first few sets will feel light, but as time progresses this "light" weight will become more and more challenging. In fact you will drop your repetitions down quite low in order to complete the 5-minute Phase... and that's GOOD.

That's what we want: As many repetitions as you can get during 5 minutes, but never exceeding FIVE repetitions, during your Power Phase.

Your rest intervals are up to YOU... you can rest a short or as long as you need.

This is a very creative and personal workout!

Your goal is simple: Get more TOTAL reps (called "Aggregate Repetitions", or "AR") than your previous workout.

This is what makes 7 Minute Muscle so unique: The progression is built-in.

Most people fail to progress in the gym because they simply do not track their workouts carefully enough.

With 7 Minute Muscle you don't have to track an entire workout: Only ONE number. The total number of repetitions, or your "AR".

Simple!

Your Power Phase for a chest workout may look like this:

EXERCISE:
Incline Machine Press (upper chest)

5 reps (rest 20 seconds)
5 reps (rest 15 seconds)
4 reps (rest 20 seconds)
3 reps (rest 30 seconds)
3 reps (rest 30 seconds)
1 rep (rest 20 seconds)
1 rep (end)

]Total AR: 22 reps
Total Time: 5 minutes

Your goal next time is to get 23 repetitions using the same weight. Once you can get 5 repetitions every set it's time to increase the weight for this movement.

You would then move to your Mass Phase (2 minutes) which would be a different chest exercise for TEN repetitions.

Same goal, same principles apply... beat your previous AR.

The end result is a 7-minute workout that shapes your chest AND burns a lot of fat due to the principles of time/energy expenditure and the fact that muscle burns calories.

More details here:

http://www.7minutemuscle.com/go/40butfit ; <--close-out-SALE

You end your 7 minute workout with "GXP" Cardio. This is 9 minutes long... that's it! But your body is primed to melt off a lot of fat after your 7 minutes of intense weight training... and you will drop the fat if you do this workout right.

You start with 3 minutes on the exercise device of your choice (I prefer the treadmill.)

You work your way up to 85-90% of your maximum heart rate, or a perceived exertion rate on a scale of 1-10 of 7 to 8. No more is needed to get the desired results.

You stay at this level for just 3 minutes.

Then you cool down for 3 minutes.

That's IT.

That's your entire cardio workout and weight-training workout... all in 16 minutes (about 20 with a warm-up.)

And you will progress faster, burn a lot more fat, and save SO much time you may have to take up a new hobby!

Enjoy the time you save!

Sincerely,

P.S. Jon's System just got bought out by a publishing company. He has a few days left before he loses control over the pricing of the product...

... SO he cut the price WAY DOWN for the next few days to give my readers a shot at everything... the book, the intro videos, the in-home "7 Minute Body" ... and even the optional ADVANCED 14-minute workout videos!

It's all here... but hurry:

DUMBEST “SLIMMING” SNACK ADVISE EVER

Dumbest 'Slimming' Snack Advice Ever

It's no wonder people are so overweight. It's no wonder people don't have the flat stomach they crave.

With TV commercials as misleading as they are it's really no shock whatsoever.

You're inundated with crummy information and myths every time you turn on the TV.

A while back they were running a commercial for some silly Rice Puff product. It was in an office setting and someone had brought in cupcakes for everyone to enjoy.

One woman looked worried she was going to ruin her "diet" because of the temptation and decided to "fill up" on a Rice Puff product.

Come on. You're smarter than that. You know darn well that a rice puff thingy is going to fill you up and stop you from stuffing your face.

For one thing, you need to expect these situations to arise. Whether you want six pack abs or just want to get to a perfectly healthy weight, you have to have a plan for temptation.

Second, that means you need to plan meals so you aren't completely starving when someone brings cupcakes to your office or something.

You know you need to eat small, frequent and nutritious meals if you really want to achieve fat loss.

Third, if you are looking for a great tasting healthy snack that fulfills your love of chocolate then look no further.

Prograde Cravers are just what the fitness pro ordered. ( Check them out here: http://TGunnels29.getprograde.com/cravers )

Cravers are only 180 calories and they are made with 100% organic dark chocolate. They are completely delicious and they are the perfect snack for busy people on the go.

They even come in three flavors. Personally, I love the Chocolate Peanut Butter bars!

Anyway, don't buy the hype on TV. You know better than that. - If you want to check out Prograde Cravers right away go here: http://TGunnels29.getprograde.com/cravers

Enjoying working out during my time off

It's nice to have all this time to spend working out. I ride bike 20 minutes in the morning and do a few squats, lunges, crunches, push ups, etc., and walk with BJ. Then after lunch I go to the gym and do more intense strengh training, ride bike 20 minutes, and swim 33 laps (1/4 mile) for about 30 minutes. Before coming inside at night, I ride 20 more minutes and since it cooled off last night, walked with BJ again. Loving it!

MONDAY -- Back at it...

I took yesterday completely off and had a cheat day, although I didn't really do much cheating. I did take a break from working out.

Back at it again today. Did squats, lunges, crunches, push ups, etc., rode bike 20 minutes, walked BJ, and played in the pond.

I have to make a trip to Norcross this afternoon. Fun, fun. Don't think I'll make the gym today, so I'll just ride my bike again tonight.

Morning: Rode bike 20 minutes, performed light strength training, and walked BJ
Afternoon: Rode bike 20 minutes, swam 20-33 laps, and did strength training at Racquethause
Evening: Rode bike 20 minutes
