The Myths And Revealing The
TRUTH On How To Create Toned And Defined Abs!
Are
you sick and tired of spending hour after hour in
the gym only to see a chubby stomach
staring back at you in the mirror? Wouldn't
you love to melt those love handles in a wild and
chaotic rush? If
so, then read the following article to transform
your stomach workouts and results... There's
a reason why you're reading these words right now. My
bet is that you're hoping to get the TRUTH on how
to get a toned and defined stomach. Am
I right? That's
what I thought. I'm
also going to put a wager on my belief that you're
seeking the absolute best results possible in the
shortest amount of time, and the easier the
better. I'm
on a roll, aren't I? Well,
before I explain how to unveil your best stomach
in 12 weeks or less, I must first "point my
finger" at the TOP 3 myths associated with
your stomach, in order to erase any false
belief systems that are imprisoned within your
mind that can only hold you back from the
"eight-pack" you desire and deserve! Myth
#1: By performing abdominal crunches you'll lose
body fat in that area alone. When
you perform any exercise for your stomach
what you're actually doing is disrupting the
muscle fiber, breaking it apart. Then,
assuming the intensity of the workout was high
enough and after allowing the appropriate amount
of rest, your hidden "eight-pack"
becomes a little bit stronger and harder. A
percentage of the calories you burn during the
workout and for several hours afterwards will come
from fat that's stored within your body, but you
absolutely have no way of knowing exactly where
that fat is going to escape from, nor can you control the process. You won't lose body fat in the stomach
area alone. Too bad! Allow me to explain... There are unwanted but necessary
compartments all over your body that excess fat
enters for storage purposes.
When there's a need to release a certain
amount of fat for your energy demands then your
mind instructs the body fat to come off from
wherever it sees fit. Unfortunately 9 times out of 10,
the most stubborn areas (one being your stomach)
is the first place that fat runs to and the last
place it likes to walk away from. However, if you're consistent and
force your stomach to become stronger and
firmer on a regular basis by working out on a
progressive program (a full body program that
includes stomach training), while also
eating properly, then you definitely won't be
upset as the layer of fat resting between your
slabs of abs and skin will shrink, becoming
thinner and your once hidden
"eight-pack" will shine through! Myth #2: To get the best possible
results from your stomach workout it's
crucial to perform at least 50 repetitions in a
set. I'm not sure when or why this myth
broke into the minds of many fitness enthusiasts. Perhaps it's just become accepted over time that in order to
develop a sliced and diced stomach it's
imperative to literally burn-out by performing
endless reps and sets of stomach work. My friend, nothing could be further
from the truth! A question for you... When you train your chest, do you
perform 50 to 100 reps in a set? My guess is no. So, it doesn't make any sense
whatsoever to grind out absurdly high reps for
your stomach since this muscle group
contains a high percentage of what we Fitness
Guru's call "fast twitch" muscle fiber. It's predominantly this type of
muscle that makes up your back, chest, shoulders
and arms as well. Consequently, this fast twitch
muscle fiber becomes stronger and firmer most
effectively when stimulated with lower reps (12 -
20) and at a much higher level of intensity,
rather than the alternative. Myth #3: Dieting is the fastest and
most effective way to increase stomach
definition. You can definitely lose the stomach
bulge in a hurry on a diet!
For when you drop your food intake quickly
and drastically your body doesn't have a choice
but to lose fat from all over, including your stomach. But as you lose the fat, may I ask
what you could be sacrificing? How about muscle? Actually, almost an equal part of
muscle to fat! That isn't good news as when the
protein (muscle) is eaten away within your body
for the needed energy requirements due to a lack
of other essential nutrients, the condition causes
you to become less active and as a result your
metabolism slows down, which makes it extremely
difficult, if not impossible for you to keep the
fat off your stomach. There's always a catch, isn't
there? You'll also lose shape, strength
and a healthy appearance in the process. It doesn't even matter how
result-oriented your stomach workouts are -
your stomach won't get stronger and firmer,
it just won't happen! I won't even get into the strict
lifestyle that would make you a completely
miserable person if you had to stick with a
super-low calorie consumption for years. Instead, here are the TOP 3 tips on
how to eat right for MAXIMUM fat loss results that
will allow you to create a toned and defined stomach
in 12 weeks or less!
Tip 1: Eat 5 to 6 small and
balanced meals a day. By eating 5 to 6 small and balanced
meals daily you'll lose excess body fat, improve
your energy levels and will experience less
cravings throughout the day. This is a result of your accelerated metabolism, which allows
you to burn more calories than usual and also from
giving your body just what it needs in terms of
food, instead of too much. It doesn't matter if you're eating
an overdose of fat or carbohydrates, most of the
extra calories that your body doesn't require for
immediate and stored energy will instead get
deposited as body fat and there's a good chance it
may choose your stomach as a home! Here's the facts... If you're only eating 1-3 meals a
day, you're going for some time without food and
your mind actually believes that your body is
starving! So,
the last thing your body is instructed to do in a
case like that is to release fat. Instead, it hangs onto it for dear
life to protect itself. If you happen to find it time
consuming, difficult and expensive to eat more
meals than you're used to, then take a supplement.
For example, whey protein shakes count as a
meal. They're
tasty, convenient, inexpensive and supply a high
quality of protein that your body just loves! Tip 2: Only eat lower glycemic
foods in the evening hours. By avoiding the higher glycemic
foods in the evening, such as; pasta, potatoes,
bread, rice and fruit and instead eating lower
glycemic choices, such as; veggies, lentils, beans
and salads, you'll feel less sluggish and bloated,
while also becoming more energetic. Not only that but you'll lose more
unwanted fat off your stomach. Let's not forget about that! You see, higher glycemic foods; see
www.glycemicindex.com... are normally calorie
dense in nature and your body breaks them down
quite rapidly into sugar for your energy purposes. Later on in the day when you're not
as active, it's safe to say that your body doesn't
need this rapid burst of energy.
So, the extra carbohydrates (glucose)
enters your body fat storage compartments instead
of getting used inside your daily activities. Furthermore, the higher glycemic
foods cause the sugar in your blood stream to rise
quickly and drop suddenly, which creates that
sluggish and bloated condition. I'm sure that's not how you'd like to feel!
Tip 3: Minimize your alcohol, pop,
candy, hydrogenated and saturated fat intake. By minimizing your intake of
alcohol, pop, candy, hydrogenated (margarine, deep
fried foods) and saturated (butter, fatty animal
meats) fats you'll love how your stomach
will become tighter and harder in such a short
period of time. More of the good fats such as
olive, flax and canola oil will help to increase
your energy and improve the condition of your
eyes, hair and skin without causing you to gain
body fat. It's so much easier getting at
sugary foods and the bad fats nowadays, isn't it? Thanks to the media, fast food
explosion and your local corner store. There are some sneaky ways to find
and fit the good fats in, though.
When you cook, instead of greasing the pan
with margarine or butter (bad), try adding olive
or canola oil (good) as an alternative. When you snack, go nuts! No, not crazy. Eat a variety of nuts that contain
good fats, instead of Twinkies and donuts!
