Friend,
Sorry to be this blunt, but that fact is that if you have excess
belly fat, it’s slowly killing you.
To find out how, read the article below (contributed by Mike Geary,
author of the #1 selling abs book on the Internet).
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.
