Lose Your Tummy Fat

The average person is 15 - 25 lbs. overweight, has low energy, and is slowly eating themselves into the grave with their teeth. This is due to the fact that most people are lazy, have no self discipline, and are content with just getting by. Does this statement offend you? I really don't feel this way, but at least now I really have your attention.

What I do know is that everyone wants to be lean, energetic, and healthy. At one point in time, almost everyone has wanted to lose their tummy fat. Most people have tried so many different times in the past to exercise and diet with no success that they have given up. Heck, every year losing tummy fat is the #1 New Years Resolution. Most people do not even stick with their fat loss plan more that a couple weeks.

The reason why most of you have not had success at firming your midsection and keeping the fat off is because:

  • We have too much (bad) information
  • You do not have a specific, effective, fat loss plan
  • You are close-minded
  • You have been lying to yourself for years
  • Your body is toxic, acidic, and tired


What I see, is many people working out for two hours a day, four to five days a week. That's a total of 12- 15 hours per week including travel to and from gym, and getting no results. We can only do that for too long before we start rationalizing:

  • I have a slow metabolism, bad thyroid, messed up adrenals
  • Exercise doesn't work
  • All those before and after pictures of success stories are lies
  • I am big boned like my family
  • I don't have enough time to work out


If you are in this group then please finish this article with an open mind considering our time and our health are by far the two most precious resources that we have.

No one has ever been ever to come up with more that 1440 minutes in a day. It is the same for every-one, whether you are black, white, or any color in between, rich, poor, young or old.

BAD FAT LOSS, FITNESS, DIET INFORMATION; I will start out by saying that even the best information in the world is worthless without purpose or passion. Because we just won't act on it consistently with out some kind of pep in our step if we don't have a reason too. If you are going to lose your tummy fat

Consider that the majority of what we hear is spoon fed to us and is propaganda. The big companies are spending millions on try to brain wash us so we will buy their product. One of the biggest ones that I deal with almost on a daily basis is that milk is good for us, good for calcium and strong bones, right? Wrong. Who do you think has been paying for those commercials on television for the last 50 years? That's right, the milk industry.

Other sources of information may not have an agenda, but they may be misinformed themselves.
Make sure that you pick reputable sources to follow.

NOT HAVING A PLAN; the old saying, when you fail to plan you are planning to fail. The #1 reason why most people are working out and wasting their time or have given up is because they do not have a specific work-out and nutrition plan. If you do a work-out without a firm plan it will take twice as long and you will accomplish almost nothing. Anyone can accomplish the best most effective fat burning work-outs in between 30 and 60 minutes.

CLOSEMINDEDNESS; one of my pet peeves is when an individual is so strongly opinionated that he or she says to the hell with everyone else's ideas. I believe that both open and close mindedness can serve us. Trust me, we should always be learning, no matter how much we know. To think that we know all there is to know about something is absurd.

One strategy that has worked well for my clients as well as me is to remain close minded with one specific work-out strategy and one specific nutrition strategy for a 12 week stretch of time. Then become open minded to consider different strategies for exercise and nutrition. Pick some new methods and use those in a close minded fashion for another 12 week stretch. This is the only way that you will find out what works and what does not work for fat loss.

PEOPLE ARE LYING TO THEMSELVES; maybe this is a little harsh but maybe the average person needs to be slapped across the face and realize that they are just settling in life and that over the course of 10, 20, maybe 30 years they have become merely a shell and are walking around in a daze not being real about the quality of their life.

Let's stand up!! Let's look in the mirror!! If you through a rat in boiling water, it would jump right out immediately. But if you put that same rat in bath water a cranked the heat up under the bath water he would stay in the water and boil to death. The point I am trying to make is to be aware and real with yourself.

OUR BODIES ARE TOXIC AND ACIDIC; with today's environment and life-styles our bodies are challenged more than ever before in the history of man-kind. The stresses of today's fast-paced information age life-style, with the lack of physical activity because of all the technological advances, (we don't even have to leave our bedroom and we could still manage to do every-thing that we needed to get done in a day or two), along with the massive consumption of over-produced over processed, over preserved foods that are full of chemicals that have no place in our bodies. Most people are full of toxins and acids in such amounts that their health is compromised and they are barely hanging on just waiting for some disease or sickness to surface.

The first step to cleaning toxins out of our bodies and becoming less acidic is to commit to a fitness routine and healthy nutrition plan that includes less processed man made foods. If it came from a plant eat it, if it was made in a plant stay away from it.

I do believe that a lot of people are wasting incredibly valuable time in the gym. Do not commit to an exercise plan if it takes more than 5 to 6 hours per week.

I do believe that the majority of people are over-weight, have low energy, and are slowly eating themselves into the grave with their teeth, but its not because they are lazy, have no self-discipline, and are content on just getting by. For I am no different than you, I am nothing special, and if I felt that was true about you, it would also go for me. I feel that it is because the masses are fed bad information, and don't have a plan, maybe some-what close-minded, get runned down and start lying to themselves, but most of all because their bodies are toxic, tired, and acidic.

You can radically change your waistline, your lifestyle, and your life with a well thought out approach as long as it encompasses training, nutrition, positive mindset strategies, goal setting, and social support.

You can be happy, lean, energetic, and excited about your future. You can be in love with your spouse again. You can be truly fulfilled and live a long life of significance. And it starts with your health and energy. You have the power. Thoughts become things, choose the good ones.
