Two Flat Stomach Secrets For
Women
Have you tried everything under the sun
to get a flat stomach, only to come up disgruntled? Have you
fallen prey to all the gimmicks, fad diets and shameless
infomercial's promising you to lose weight fast?
Well fret no more, I'm going to let you in on the two ‘secrets'
that will help you remove unwanted fat and reveal your toned,
flat stomach once and for all.
The first secret for a flat stomach is eating supportively.
While this doesn't seem like a secret at all, most women get
this wrong in spite of their best – but misguided – efforts.
Women have fallen prey to low-fat, low-carb, Hollywood,
grapefruit, South Beach and every other over hyped diet that
marketer's can dream up, all in hopes of shedding those
unwanted pounds. But eating supportively is isn't about dieting
or deprivation; it's about moderation and balance. While
cutting carbs or fats out of your nutrition plan might give you
a temporary loss of a couple of pounds, it's typically followed
by a drop in metabolism and a weight gain of more than you lost
in the first place once you go back to your old eating
habits.
So what is eating supportively? Eating supportively is having
protein and carbohydrates at every meal. It's grazing on 4-6
meals or snack each day instead of missing meals and then
gorging yourself. It's enjoying a healthy breakfast and not
drinking your calories. But most of all, eating supportively is
enjoying the foods you love in moderation instead of in
excess.
If eating supportively is the first secret to a flat stomach,
then what's the second? The second flat stomach secret is
resistance training. Unfortunately, just as fad diets have
stood in the path of women getting the flat stomachs they so
desired, so have the myths of spot reduction and cardio being
the best method for fat loss. Late night infomercial's have
long promoted gadgets that promised to spot reduce those
trouble spots that women struggle with and sucked us in with
testimonials from fitness models that undoubtedly picked up a
nifty paycheck for endorsing their wares. But spot reduction is
a myth. Think about it – have you ever met someone with a flat
stomach and fat arms? Didn't think so. If spot reduction was
possible then undoubtedly one of these happy customers would
have toned and tightened their stomach, yet kept their flabby
arms.
The other myth that has led women astray is the belief that
cardio is the best solution for fat loss. Treadmill
manufacturers have sold the virtues of the ‘fat burning zone'
and led us to believe that we could plod along on a treadmill
watching Oprah and before long a flat stomach would be ours.
These two myths have diverted us from the path of what really
does work – resistance training. Resistance training is a flat
stomach's best friend because not only does an effective
resistance training session burn plenty of calories while
you're doing it, but it keeps you're metabolism revved long
after you're done. One recent study showed that you're
metabolism would stay elevated for over 36 hours after a
resistance training session.
Try to get that out of an aerobics class.
And there's another benefit of resistance training when it
comes to getting a flat stomach. The lean muscle that you gain
will raise you're resting metabolic rate and help you burn more
fat all day long, each and every day.
There you have it, two ‘secrets' that are guaranteed to boost
your metabolism and give you that flat stomach you've been
longing for. So ditch the diet books and the aerobics classes
and start eating supportively and resistance training. Before
long that flat stomach will finally be yours.
