Do you really want to lose that stubborn belly fat?

Have you reached the point in your life that you are sick and tired of being short of breath?

Or do you wish that you could just tie your shoes while keeping your pants buckled up?

Of course you would, not to mention the sex appeal that comes with a flat stomach.

Unfortunately, most of us North American men are considered overweight and, many are obese with risk the possibility of health problems.

So belly fat, also known as a love handles, potbelly or beer gut, is a clear sign that more than a few extra pounds are hanging around our stomach.

Mike Geary, in his Truth About Abs eBook, lays out some of the basic principles that deal with melting belly fat in the most efficient manner.

Feel Better With 30 Minutes

By loosing a few pounds, most of us guys will admit that we feel so much better.

At that first hint of that “feel good” sensation, we find that it is motivation in itself to keep working at it. You just got to get over the hump of inactivity as in breaking the couch potato habit.

You could start off by taking a daily walk before breakfast for 30 to 60 minutes. If you want to start burning off that beer belly, aim for 60 minutes.

To maintain good health, you need to be doing something everyday. Not the level of exercise that you can hardly catch your breath, but just enough that you can still talk.

This includes a regiment of weight training to gradually harden and build your muscles. Once built up, these new found muscles can work on burning fat while you sleep.

Measure Your Heart Rate

You want to stay within the fat burning zone, That is, your heart rate should be in around 60% to 75% of you maximum heart rate.

To keep you within the right pace, you want to buy yourself a heart rate monitor. I use the Polar F11 unit and it is best investment you can make in your quest for good health.

Otherwise, if your heart rate is too low, you will not get the most out of your workout. On the other hand, if your heart rate is too high, you will not burn the maximum amount of fat, but will dip into your sugar stores.

Speaking Of Sugar

You know the old saying, garbage in, garbage out. To lose that belly fat, you got to take in fewer calories through good nutrition while burning a bunch through exercise.

So cutting out the starchy and junk foods, sodas and booze will go along way in the right direction. When you reduce your current carbohydrate and fat intake down to a more balanced approach, you will likely notice immediate results in the first week.

On top of that, if you eat smaller portions of food, more frequently throughout the day, you can all but eliminate those hunger pains that make you cheat.

And take it easy on the booze and beer. If you are really serious about getting rid of that stubborn belly fat, you will avoid any alcohol, at least until you getting close to reaching your goal weight.
