How To Lose Fat Tummy

Hang on! I hear you say. Isn't Belly Fat and Stomach Fat the same thing? Well, yes, sort of. No, not even sort of, it is the same thing.

Both belly fat and stomach fat are indeed the fat that sits in your midsection when you eat too much. Unlike the fat on your thighs, butt, chest, arms etc. it is visceral fat, which is a type of fat that surrounds your organs. Internal fat.

Belly fat is really unhealthy, some scientists have even suggested the subcutaneous fat (the fat under the skin) is not really all that unhealthy at all. Some fat is needed to protect you, both from the cold and from injury. It is a natural layer of insulation and padding.

But when it surrounds your internal organs, that is when things go wrong. Not only does the fat literally strangle organs by reducing blood flow, it also releases hormones that play havoc with your metabolism and fat storage systems.

Having more belly fat actually leads to more fat accumulation as increased insulin results in more sugar in the blood being converted to fat. So, it really is time for you to learn how to lose belly fat once and for all!

So, How to get rid of this nasty belly fat?

Well, quite simply, you need to exercise and go on a diet. Not really "go on a diet", more, change your eating habits permanently. Managing your weight does not get any easier as you get older, in fact, the opposite is true. So you need to learn to moderate your food intake. Eat smaller portions, use a smaller plate.

Eat less refined and processed foods to reduce intake of sugars and saturated fats. Eat more fruits, vegetables and lean proteins to increase fiber and protein (both have shown weight loss potential in studies). One good way to manage your weight is through a low GI diet plan. This involves eating carbohydrates that are not so quickly digested. This reduces the blood sugar spikes which decreases fat accumulation and increases fat burning. But, you still have to control those calories!

Then get more exercise, ideally 30 minutes 7 days a week, or 60 minutes 4 days a week. Suggested belly fat blasting workout:

• Monday - Power walk 20 minutes, 10 minutes of push ups, leg raises, squats, lunges, jumping jacks, the plank and mountain climbers
• Tuesday - 45 minutes weight training session
• Wednesday - 60 minute walk at a reasonable pace
• Thursday - 30 minute circuit training
• Friday - ower walk 20 minutes, 10 minutes of push ups, leg raises, squats, lunges, jumping jacks, the plank and mountain climbers
• Saturday - 30 minute walk
• Sunday - 60 minutes of some type of activity - walking, cycling, swimming. Family time too.

A plan like that is manageable by most people. So hop to it! Go on, burn that belly fat now!

Pete Ajello's Amazing Weight Loss Story

We spoke with Pete Ajello about his weight loss story (ok, exchanged emails across the pond). His story is really great, not just because he lost 200 pounds, but because he did it off his own back. He started by himself.

He did build up a support network, with personal trainers and nutritionists, but he took those first steps to freedom.

The result is amazing. The guy was on the brink of death, suffered a diabetic stroke, and through diet and exercise reversed his medical condition and got healthy again.

Sometimes a weight loss story just simply breaks through new barriers. If weight loss was an Olympic sport then Peter Ajello would certainly be a contender for a gold medal.

Peter Ajello lost 200 pounds in the last 16 months. Not only did he lose a lot of fat, he also trained hard and has built a pretty good physique, certainly something to be proud of on a beach.

If you under-arms are getting a bit saggy your need to start losing weight and working out. Build some muscle, stretch that skin and reduce body fat.

"You must use low-insulin nutrition like I recommend in all my books, including Fit Over 40, to lower your bodyfat. For ladies, the back-of-the-arm body fat is often the last bit to go. This type of diet is also a great way to lose belly fat.

But I promise, it will go. I can go for anyone. Marty Web and dozens of other ladies in Fit Over 40 prove that in living color, and they share how they did it.< Low-insulin nutrition means eating more protein-rich foods, foods that are not processed, and plenty of tasty veggies. But it does not mean you cannot have your pizza and burgers here and there. I do every week and my body fat is low."

New Tips to Lose Belly Fat

We are always searching for the most efficient way to lose belly fat and this is possibly the best method discovered so far.

To lose belly fat quickly you need to combine intensive cardio exercise, weight training workouts and a protein rich, sugar free diet. Why?

Intensive Cardio Exercise: This burns fat faster than any other form of exercise. It is also the fastest way to get fit, and the fitter you are, the harder you can exercise, which means you burn more fat.

Weight Training Workouts: Weight training builds muscle and muscle is greedy. Muscle building requires a lot of calories, so when building muscle calories that would have been converted to fat are converted to muscle. Also, muscles require more energy just to maintain themselves, so if you are muscular your energy needs are higher - you have a faster metabolism. You literally burn fat (or utilise energy from food) quicker than people with less muscle mass.

Sugar Free Diets: The biggest cause of weight gain is sugar. Fat may have more calories per gram than carbohydrates, but most people eat way too many carbohydrates. Stomach fat is almost always caused by excessive sugar. So cut out sugar from your diet. Also, muscle needs proteins to grow. So to build the muscle to raise metabolism, consume more protein.

These are the basic rules to weight loss. To put them into action, follow these tips:

• Perform at least 2 weight training workouts per week
• Perform at least 3 intensive cardio sessions per week
• Eat eggs for breakfast
• Cut out all bread, all cereals, all fruit juice
• No more cakes, cookies, pasta, bread, soda, take away food, junk food or processed food
• Never eat more than you need
• Drink lots of water 
• Eat soup everyday - soup helps you feel full

These tips should help you lose weight faster.
