Benefits of Organic Diets For Belly Fat Loss

Organic eating is no laughing matter. When it comes to getting results with losing stomach fat and getting abs, organic eating does make a real difference. The reason for this is that it simply reduces your chemical exposure which in turn has a positive effect on your metabolic processes because your hormones are doing what they are supposed to be doing - burning fat. Research suggests that changing to an organic diet can reduce your pesticide exposure by 80% or more which will be more than enough to change your results in a positive way!
You can find a list of a dozen conventional foods which are often heavily doused with chemicals here. Switch these to organic and your off to a great start.
In essence, organic eating will give you enormous health benefits which in turn should translate to better results from your abs workouts. This will give you a big advantage in getting sexy 6 pack abs.

An Abs Exercise Not To Forget - Burpees!

People often ask me what I think of ab-roller, sit ups and other ab exercises and I can't help but cringe. Exercises that focus specifically on your abdominal muscle will not get you a flat stomach. If you want to get 6 pack abs you need to focus specifically on losing stomach fat and functional, abdominal toning exercises.
One exercise that really gets the heart rate going, boosts your metabolism and burns loads more stomach fat than any ab-roller gadget ever will is the Burpee.
Here is an abdominal exercise in disguise and by far one of the most effective abs exercises there is.
It effectively engages your arms, legs, chest and abs all in one exercise. Visit the above link to see how it's done. There are variations on this to make it easier for those of you who haven't done a lot of high intensity training before.
The Burpee essentially starts in the neutral stance with the feet shoulder width apart.
From there we have 3 movements:

1. Drop down towards the floor (to pushup position) at this position you can either drop your chest to the ground (perform a pushup) or simply come back onto your feet.
2. Once on your feet again, launch yourself up, jumping as high as you can
3. Start again

This really gives your abs an awesome workout.
Do 20 of these 3 times and you will definitely feel the result.
So don't forget that the best form of exercise you can do to lose belly fat and tone your stomach is a functional, full-body exercise which also targets your core.

Sugar Replacements To Lose Stomach Fat

There is no doubt that sugar is one of the big causes of stomach fat. It is in virtually everything we eat these days and is hard to escape for those of use with a weak spot for sweets. For every teaspoon of sugar you consume comes an extra 15 calories and if this can be avoided, it will make your goal to lose stomach fat and get sexy abs much more achievable.
So what are the alternatives to sugar? We've all seen the adds for "zero-sugar" soda and many hundreds of other products that claim zero calories. The problem is the method they go about to provide "zero calorie" products.
The options for alternative sugar products are as follows:

• Aspartame products such as Equal, NutraSweet and Canderel
• Xylitol
• Stevia

The ideal here is to have a sweetener with zero calories, which tastes great and won't have any adverse affects on the body, including any effects which might prevent fat burning systems.
Aspartame based products are the popular choice and this is one of the reasons that over 50% of the population are overweight. Aspartame is an artificial sweetener which has known harmful chemical by-products such as formaldahyde (a toxic substance known to cause damage to the human body) and phenylalanine (shown to decrease Leptin - an extremely important hormone which regulates metabolism - by 34%).
Clearly aspartame based sweeteners are going to have a detrimental effect on losing belly fat.
Xylitol is a natural sweetener derived from fruit fibers and has 34% less calories than sugar. It tastes great, it's got numerous health benefits and it's often recommended by dentists as a sugar alternative which "doesn't promote tooth decay".
Finally, Stevia is a natural sweetener derived from the Stevia plant. It has zero calories, is much sweeter than sugar and has no adverse effects to human metabolic functions. This makes it an ideal sugar replacement to help lose stomach fat. The taste is a little bit different to what you may be used to from using sugar but in a short amount of time, most people love the taste and have no trouble using it as a sugar alternative.

I would recommend in any case that natural sweeteners are more beneficial than artificial sweeteners to help in getting rid of belly fat to expose a flat, "6 pack" stomach.

Lose Belly Fat With Avocado - 5 Benefits!

Now I want to talk about one of my favorite fruits(!) today and that of course is the avocado.

After all, we need to find out which foods are going to help us towards getting sexy abs as it is 80% of your program anyway.
So the reason that the avocado is such a great food to help you with stomach fat is given here in 5 main points:

1. It contains nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients

More & More Serious Stomach Fat

It seems that the more we research and analyze current trends the more we come to serious and often deadly conclusions about some of the most common problems plaguing people around the globe including something as simple as belly fat. So if you're finding it hard to motivate yourself into a program which will help you to lose stomach fat, consider also how your choices affect your health both in the short and long term.

In Australia, the largest cause of death is due to heart disease. Unhealthy hearts are our biggest problem.in Australia and the US has a very similar problem. The ABS statistics put heart disease as the cause of 16% of all deaths in 2008. You know what's even more disturbing... "People with a greater concentration of fat around their stomach have an increased risk of developing certain chronic diseases such as Type 2 diabetes and heart disease". So if you need a really good reason to start working harder on losing belly fat (and losing weight overall), here it is.

With such a high percentage of people now overweight and an even higher percentage struggling with stomach fat, it is definitely time to take action and get fit, get a set of sexy abs and avoid all the drama. Plus you'll feel so good about yourself, it's bound to change your life.

Some Typical, Fat Melting Replacement Foods

So I established yesterday about how important foods are in reaching your health and fitness goals. Just as a recap though (and to stress the importance of this) it will be approximately 80% food and 20% exercise that gets you to your goal of a flat, sexy stomach.

I don't want to discredit exercise though as that is where your toning happens and is also vital in increasing your health and fitness.

What I want to mention about this though is that we have a big, fat problem.
70% of the US population are overweight or obese. Even more alarming is the rapid decrease in the age of overweight children. We are, as a society, getting fatter.

And if 80% of the problem is coming from foods, what can we do about it?
Well, most people dread the mention of calorie counting and diets so I'm not going to mention them further (although if you're diligent enough, calorie counting can help you lose weight). What I will suggest is that you take 3 vitally important tips away from this reading today:
1. Reduce your "processed food" intake - This is a simple thing really. Just don't buy as much canned and pre-packaged food as you usually would. By replacing these processed foods with more natural, raw foods, you are effectively reducing your exposure to all kinds of additives, sodium being the most common and what you eat to replace the packaged foods is likely to give you other health benefits too!
2. Don't fall for "diet" products - Manufacturers aim to make huge profits so they will do anything to convince you that their "junky" foods are going to help you lose weight and you will probably willingly believe them if it means you can enjoy the products. Don't fall for it. So called "diet" or "lite" products more often than not, do more damage than good to your results.
3. Integrate other foods into your eating - Over time you should aim to try something new each week. Try out "healthy" foods and see what you can do with them. Even if you can't stand the taste of them (grow up), if you want real results, integrate foods you wouldn't usually eat into your regular diet. Some good foods include nuts, seeds (eg. sesame seeds), green vegetables, herbs and legumes.

I hope you got something out of that one. Take away those 3 points and apply them and you'll be flaunting your sexy abs in no time. Remember the 80/20 rule!
