The Best Way to Lose Stomach Fat Fast

Summer's coming and many people want to get rid of their extra stomach fat as quickly as possible. No matter how fit you are, having an extra layer of ugly fat hanging off your hips and belly just doesn't look very good... especially when you're in a bikini or swimming shorts!

Most people, in their rush to reduce stomach fat, go to extremes by doing thousands of crunches, performing "marathon" aerobic exercise workouts, following crash diets, and/or taking one of the thousands of "fat burning" diet pills being sold all over the place.

Unfortunately, using these kinds of techniques is a recipe for fitness failure!

Sure, you may lose some weight using the above methods, but you're not going to lose much stomach fat and your body really isn't going to look (or feel!) very good in the end. Worse, there's a good chance you'll end up losing vital muscle tissue, slowing down your metabolism significantly, and possibly even damaging your health.

The best way to lose stomach fat fast is to combine 3 of the most effective techniques for burning calories, building muscle, and forcing your body to pump out those "power" hormones that can change the way your body looks very quickly. These techniques include:

1. Full-body strength training involving multi-joint exercises done in "supersets"
2. Interval cardio training
3. A high-protein, low "starchy" carb diet
   

These are the only techniques proven to boost the metabolism, burn fat, and change the composition of the body (fat-to-muscle ratio) in a relatively short amount of time. The combination of all 3, done on a consistent basis, is an almost surefire solution for getting that stubborn belly fat off of your body quickly!

By the way, although it's true that it's difficult to "spot reduce" and lose fat from one specific part of the body, there is evidence that interval training can burn off fat stored around the midsection faster than other forms of exercise. So forget about all the "ab" training and get going on a good interval-based cardio program!

To learn everything you need to know about eliminating your ugly belly fat for good, be sure to take a look at the Turbulence Training program. It is highly recommended!

An Expert's Secrets to Losing More Fat

Interested in losing more fat in less time and with less effort? Craig Ballantyne -- one of the world's top experts on healthy fat-burning -- provides 3 very useful tips for losing body fat in a faster, easier way. I always enjoy reading his stuff and I think you will too. Enjoy...


3 Ways to Lose More Fat from an Expert Fitness Trainer
By Turbulence Training author Craig Ballantyne

Once you get in the zone, burning fat can be very easy. I know, easier said than done, right? But maybe you just don't have the right tips and tricks in your arsenal to help you get started on the right foot.

So here are three of the most important things you need to be doing to get your fat burning workout program started properly.

1) Use Fitday to figure out your food intake.

You can't just "wing it". You can't "eyeball" your food intake, as research shows that even nutritionists underestimate how much food they are eating.

If you don't know whats going down your throat each day, you are going to eat way too much food and never burn the fat. If you aren't losing fat, it's a simple numbers game. You are eating too much. And if you know your numbers, its easy to make the necessary changes.

As one client said on the message boards...

"Ok, I input all my meals on Fitday yesterday, including 2 cheats that I didn't think were a big deal. One was a handful of trail mix and the other was a handful of goldfish crackers. (yes, I have kids :-) ) I can't believe how just those two seemingly harmless snacks added up!! No wonder I have a muffin top! Yikes! So thanks for the tip about Fitday because that's going to keep me accountable."

The little things add up so quickly! You'll be amazed when you finally start counting your calories that you will often be far above your recommended intake.

A little bit here and a little bit there is all that is needed to sabotage your efforts.

Use it and lose it!

2) Use the right recovery pace in your interval training.

The biggest mistake people make in interval training is working too hard during the recovery period.

If you continue to work at a hard pace when you should be almost resting, you wont get the true benefits of interval training.

So lose the cardio mentality and be sure to alternate between periods of harder than normal exercise, and very easy exercise.

If you don't know about interval training, here is how it goes.

Start with your normal warmup. Let's say walking at 3.0mph on the treadmill. Do this for five minutes, and then increase the speed to 3.8mph (a fast walk). Do this for 30-60 seconds (as long as you are comfortable doing it - don't do it if you feel that is too fast for you).

Drop the intensity way back to three miles per hour.0mph for 60-90 seconds. That is one interval. Go back and forth between working hard and going easy for 3-6 rounds. Then finish with a 5-minute cool-down.

Use the recovery period to recover!

3) Plan your food intake on the weekend.

Set aside time to plan, shop, and prepare several days worth of meals. Use a Saturday or Sunday afternoon to cook some chicken breasts, prepare some raw vegetables, wash your fruit, and pack up your nuts.

A little bit of knowledge can go a long way.

Its that easy.

Use interval training in your fat burning workout and bodyweight exercises to sculpt your body.
