Q.How can Iose belly fat without doing
sit-ups?

A. Doing sit-ups has NOTHING to do with losing belly fat.

Some women still think they need to do sit-ups and crunches to lose extra belly fat but the truth is no exercise will flatten your stomach.

If you want to lose the extra belly fat the first thing is your nutrition.

Look at getting the right amount of calories for fat loss (this can differ from many women and depends on metabolism) I explain certain tricks to get your metabolism moving in my system and how to set up your calories for max. fat loss. Don't go by the calculators that you see online..they are way off.

Next make sure you are eating enough protein. I recommend anywhere 1-1.5 grams of protein per lean body mass.

Fish oils are a must if you want to lose the extra belly fat. This is one of the most important supplements that should be taken daily not only for fat loss but for other bodily functions.

Cardio should be intense. Doing intervals is the best...forget about long boring sessions...they are a ways and actually can be counterproductive and produce cortisol which contributes to extra belly fat.

Here is a sample:

warm up 2 minutes
1 minute intense
1-2 minute moderate pace
1 minute intense
1-2 minute moderate pace

You can also set up your weight training program so it become more fat-burning.
This can be done several ways. One of the programs in my system shows you how to set
up at your home outside. You simple set up different stations (similar to an obstacle course)

For example:
Station one: push-ups
Station two: Pop squats
Station three: dips

Doing this in a series of circuits really gets the heart rate up and you will get some great fat-burning results when set up right.

I have more programs that vary in duration for fat burning in my 6-week fat-burning system.

I got an email from a subscriber asking
if it does in fact work.

Here comes another diet pill trying to convince
dieters that is the solution to permanent weight loss.

After doing my research, as expected
I found some interesting finds.
This pill is offered over-the-counter and
is like a mild version of Xencial
(which is prescription drug to treat obesity)

How it Alli works:
Alli promotes weight loss by decreasing
absorption of fat by the intestines,
which reduces the number of calories you absorb.

But get this:
You can't eat more than 15 grams of fat
per meal while taking this and here are
some of the lovely side effects:

* Gas with an oily anal discharge
* Loose stools or diarrhea
* More frequent bowel movements
* Hard-to-control bowel movements

Alli can help you lose weight but the
it might be only a few pounds (and most
of that will be water and NOT fat),
and you have to continue to take it
otherwise the weight will come back on.

The drug also may pose risks for anyone who
takes blood-thinning medication or has
diabetes or thyroid disease.

How much does Alli cost?

A starter pack, which includes reference guides,
a daily journal and one month's supply of medication,
is about $60. A refill pack with a 40-day supply
of capsules is about $75.

The best answer for weight/fat loss is a combination
of using your mind to re-program yourself to get
results and reduce caloric intake and exercise.

I recommend investing your money in educating
yourself on the right fat loss program by a
skilled professional.

Believe it or not you can still enjoy eating the
things you want without gain fat.

Having the right tools to lose fat and keep it off
is far better than wasting your money on pills.
In the long run they never work for permanent results.

When it comes down to it it's the right information,
in the right order that will produce the results you want.

Q. How to get rid of cellulite and burn fat

A. This is one of the most asked questions that women want to know.

There are many components that go into this ..but let me highlight the main ones.

1. You must lift heavy (6-8 reps) to get rid of the cellulite...light weight aren't going to cut it. Most women focus on doing all cardio and wonder why they still have cellulite...even skinny women can have cellulite. I also want to add that you can do higher reps sets too (10-15) but your program needs to be varied.
2. You must eat the minimum requirements for protein 1-1.5 g for your lean mass or bodyweight
3. You must train with intensity to get results.
4. You must be in a calorie deficit to burn fat. (this means eating less)
5. You must reduce the amount of simple sugar in your nutrition (this means cut back on the sweets)
