Belly Fat Loss Basics

How do we in fact lose belly flab? And when we talk about burning fat, what do we actually mean?

Here’s a very straightforward, and simple to understand explanation of what really happens in creating a fat loss effect.

The fundamental view that diet gurus and fitness trainers have led us to believe for years is that it’s all about our intake of calories versus the calories we burn.

This is true for losing weight – but it’s not the complete truth for belly flab loss or fatloss in general, there are a quantity of defensive mechanisms that our bodies have in place, called ‘rate limiting steps’ to prevent fat being lost.

On a very primitive level – Fat burning is in essence a two step procedure.

The primary step is mobilization. We need to make the fat leave the fat cells so we can then use the fat as a fuel source.

Fat mobilization is governed essentially by levels of a hormone known as HSL short for Hormone Sensitive Lipase. On general terms, the higher the level of HSL we have then we can mobilize more fat from the fat cells.

So how do we get higher HSL? We need to boost adrenaline or primarily our catecholamine levels

How do we do that? Simple we exercise. In particular high intensity exercise.

But HSL is also restricted by insulin. Therefore high insulin levels mean low HSL levels and hence we don’t mobilize enough fat.

Therefore a great strategy for part one is low insulin levels which we achieve by the correct diet and easy training plus high catecholamines which we achieve by high intensity exercise

The second part of the procedure is transport and oxidation.

If HSL levels are high-level – fat cells break down into FFA (free fatty acids) which circulate in the blood and eventually finish up in a muscle where they can be burned off in the mitochondria.

But there’s another rate limiting step here. Transporting the FFA into the mitochondria where it can be burned off. That transport is controlled by carnitine levels.

If carnitine levels are high – fat transport is high.

A good analogy here would be to compare carnitine to a farm gate.

If you had 100 sheep to herd into a field and there is only one gate, it would take a long time to get all the sheep into the field.

But on the other hand if you had 20 gates, then the sheep would get into the field a lot quicker. So the more gates you have (carnitine) the faster the process.

So I hear you ask “how do we ramp up carnitine levels?” Once again we have a rate limiting step. If muscle glycogen is high then carnitine levels are low.

Therefore we need to reduce muscle glycogen and we achieve that with metabolic work and we have the optimal fat oxidation state.

So high intensity glycogen depleting exercise is chosen.

Putting all the above together, we now have large levels of fat mobilization plus high levels of fat oxidation, which will leave us with our desired accelerated fat loss and a vanishing beer belly..

Belly Fat Loss Is Basic Biology…

So if you work out how to combine all those steps, and get around each rate limiting hurdle – you’ll find that fat loss is really very simple..

But on the other hand, if it all sounds a bit too much like a Biology lesson, DON’T WORRY because all the science has already been worked out for you in This Diet Solution…

How To Lose Belly Fat Fast

How To Lose Belly Fat Fast

Why does losing weight especially belly flab, take so long?
How can we change this and accelerate the entire belly fat loss procedure? I discovered the secret, and you can see my video proof by clicking the link Best Way To Lose Belly Fat

It always annoyed me when I’m told – a good belly fat loss diet could achieve 2lbs of fat loss each week.

“Any more than that and you’ll start to shed muscle fibre”.

Or a sound exercise plan could result in you losing the same couple of pounds.

But if you had a good belly fat loss diet AND a good exercise plan – your results didn’t double – they canceled each other out!

Diet seemed to work.

And exercise seemed to work…

But you just can’t seem to get the double benefit of combining both!!!

We’ve all been taught that two pounds a week is the target to lose love handles… Yet there are genuine controlled studies displaying belly fat loss much higher than that.

So is fast weight loss about burning calories? Well the simple answer is No….

There are studies displaying that interval training, whilst burning less calories during the workout, results in a significantly greater overall fat loss than a more energetic workout of calorie burning training…

Also there are studies showing the same total calories burned from weight training and cardio, results in drastically different amounts of fat loss.

So it’s not just about calories…

There are nutrition studies that illustrate altering the source of protein intake doubled the lean mass gains and increased fat shed – without changing total calorie intake or even activity levels.

Another study showed a similar occurrence when you changed the source of dietary fat or carbs. Once more – no change in total calories in, or activity levels (calories out) — but there was a pronounced reduction in body fat.

So after reading differing types of fat loss information, it’s not difficult to arrive at the conclusion:

You shouldn’t believe that it’s only possible to lose 2lbs a week, in fact…

If we concentrate on doing everything the correct way- looking for synergy between the different components for burning our belly fat as opposed to incompatibility and cancelling each other out. – we can ramp all the processes up, and work them all together so that instead of training and dieting for 12 weeks — you’d get great results in less than a month.

That’s what I found, when I discovered how to lose 6″ off my fat belly in just one month. You can check out my Best Way To Lose Belly Video Diary for proof

Let’s be honest– training to lose the belly sucks. Dieting sucks. And we all usually think about it, instead of JUST DOING IT….
