Why excess abdominal fat is more deadly than you think

Hi, it's Mike from http://TruthAboutAbs.com with another Lean-Body
Secrets Ezine.

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 determined 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 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? 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 strategic nutritious diet full of
unprocessed natural foods with a properly designed 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 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 and
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. A lot of people have
emailed me with questions about whether they need any special
equipment, if they're too old or too young for this program, etc. I've made a
page that should answer all of your questions...

confidence as well as contribute to your risk for MAJOR diseases.
