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…

Lose Belly Fat With Fad Diets
September 9th, 2009
Do Fad Diets Help You Lose The Belly?
If you search the web for ‘weight loss diets’ you’ll find millions of web pages appear in the search engine. So you realise there’s a lot of people out there who have published web pages on which they give advice about how to lose weight.
Some of these sites contain information that is both valid and valuable for belly fat loss, but a great many others are full of nonsense and ideas that have little or no substance!
There are loads of ‘fad diet’ pages These will often focus on the latest fashionable theories about things that might work as part of a belly fat loss reduction eating regime.
Beware of such ’fad diets’ at all costs!
Most of these ‘diet plans’ are often nothing more than crash diets , implying that you starve yourself as a way of losing your belly fat.
It’s not rocket science to work out, that if you stop eating, you will lose weight. Indeed, if you stop eating altogether, you will lose so much weight that you will die, so, starving yourself will undoubtedly shed the additional poundage that you want to get rid of. Unfortunately, it will not do so in a way that is even remotely healthy.
Most ‘fad’ diets focus on eating a great deal of one particular type of food whilst removing other necessary foods from the overall diet plan altogether. This will definitely generate weight loss, but it will not do so in a healthy fashion, because a balanced diet is essential for long-term human health. Another issue of these so-called belly busting scams is they tell you not to bother taking exercise to lose weight, which is rubbish.
Nor are the ‘beneficial’ effects of such a ‘fad’ diet likely to be long lasting.
As soon as you have completed your weight loss program, you’ll return to a normal, healthy balanced diet and when you do, eating the foods that you have denied yourself for weeks or months is likely to see extra weight being piled back on just as quickly, if not faster than you managed to get rid of it.
Another problem with ‘fad’ diets is that, because of their focus on one particular type or group of foodstuffs, they tend to be boring and uninteresting. You start to crave for those foodstuffs that this particular diet denies to you, and such a craving is not going to be something that you can ignore for ever!
Many ‘fad’ diets ignore healthy eating on an even more basic level.
‘Fad’ diets will often encourage you to ignore basic healthy eating rules, such as the requirement to eat a certain number of portions of vegetables and fruits every day. As another example, such a diet plan might recommend that you avoid eating oily fish, ignoring the fact that they are one of the best known sources of the essential trans-fatty acids that are vital for long-term good health.
Because all of these here-today, gone-tomorrow so-called diet plans are accorded miracle status because of their ability to help you shed weight extremely quickly, all that they are really doing is storing up potential problems for the future.
But there are still easy ways to lose abdominal fat.
