You are going to see tons of info commercials and magazine ads talking up a storm about the latest thigh reducing machine or ab equipments that will give you flat and toned abs instantly… like magic… or is it?
And the worst thing of all? Using sleek and muscular couple to demonstrate the exercise equipment which leads us to think that this equipment actually gave them the body they have…

How to Lose Stomach Fat Series – Post 1 – Myths and Facts About Losing Body Fat
OK… let’s put it down and admit the real reason why you are reading this post about how to lose stomach fat… you want to look and fee terrific about yourself! And we can all admit it… fat looks terrible. And fat is tightly correlated to your overall health. So the less excess fat you carry… the better you look and the healthier you will be.
However, all body fat isn’t bad. You actually need SOME body fat… it is critical for overall health…
For instance, fat in your body is the secondary source of energy… sugar and starches is the first (your body gets it from the muscles).
However, that energy source from your muscles gives out after ten minutes or so from heavy activity… at that point… your body switches over to the fat stored in the muscle tissues throughout your body. And the little engine in your body is going to take that fat and convert it to sugar which is used as energy.

So What Can You Do to Reduce Ab Fat?
Whenever anyone is talking about diets and fitness plans… at some point… someone is going to bring up how to reduce ab fat.
And no wonder when you read all about the facts that 67% of all American adults are either overweight or obese. And the reason why most of us are obsessed with abdominal fat is because it is the last area of fat to leave our bodies.
I have NO IDEA why evolution cursed us with this… but unfortunately it is true. So when you are trying to lose your body fat… you are going to lose most of it in your arms, legs, back and butt BEFORE you ever see your abdominal muscles.
In so many words… those of you that are trying to get a six pack abs… well, it is all hidden underneath your belly fat.
And I want you to think about this a little bit… have you EVER seen anyone walking around with bulky arms and big butts… but with a six pack abs?
Of course not! It is impossible to see that… so you need to focus on how to reduce overall body fat as opposed to just reducing ab fat!!

Rising Rate of Obesity…
Oh man! I just read this article based on a recent Federal government report (National Center for Health Statistics) that says the number of U.S. adults who are obese is now higher than the number of just overweight adults!
This is just shocking to me… 34% or 72 MILLION adults are now obese in America. And another 32.7% of the adults are just overweight.
This report concluded that U.S. is not the only country facing this obesity and overweight epidemic.

The Truth About Getting Sexy Abs
So you made a New Years resolution to lose some weight and remove some of your belly fat. First of all, let me congratulate you because THAT is an admirable pursuit! To get healthier and be more active is the best gift you can give yourself.
.jpg "Get Your Six Pack Abs")
The first suggestion I would make is to avoid all “health foods.” They are nothing more than junk food that is designed to get you fatter and separate your money from your wallet. So no thanks to health foods.
The next thing you should be aware of is that any ab exercises you do at this point is probably a huge waste of your time. Instead you want to focus on full body workouts which burns fat much faster…
Look at it this way, you can do all the ab exercises and have the best looking abs in the world… but nobody will ever see it. And why? Simply because of the layer of fat you have over the thin ab muscles. So lower body fat and you WILL see your abs.
