Before we get into this, do a mental dump of everything you
think you know about fat and losing weight. Everything you are about
to learn here is spanking new. Even better, it's backed by the bleeding
edge of research into midsection fat.
Fat in the midsection
represents a very unique problem. Midsection fat is correlated to
metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and risk of cardio vascular disease
and is one of the best predictors of all three of these diseases. There
is a good reason. Midsection fat is a form of Metabolism Damage
FAT IN THE MIDSECTION - WHAT'S GOING ON.
Let's
take a minute to understand why midsection fat is such a unique
problem. It will help understand how to deal with the problem.
The
bleeding edge theory about midsection fat is that as you get more of
it, your fat gets farther and farther away from the body. A state of
hypoxia begins to occur. Basically, the fat cells at the outer edge of
the midsection don't get very good circulation and thus don't get
enough oxygen. These oxygen starved fat cells in the midsection become
damaged, more or less permanently. What then happens is energy
metabolism in these cells gets broken. In simplest terms, the fat cells
in the midsection stop using glucose and fat correctly and tend to
easily store and create more fat.
Your midsection becomes like
the hull of a ship with a hole in it. The ship will always take on
water in the section that is damaged. This is in effect what is going
on with midsection fat. These fat cells will always be problematic
because they are damaged. That's the bad news. Now the good news.
HOW TO ADDRESS MIDSECTION FAT.
First,
you need a copy of Free of Fat Forever - The LookCut Method. All of the
diet and exercise basics you need are in that. What I can cover here
are the tricks unique to midsection fat.
Here is how we tackle
midsection fat. The assumption here is that you are actively engaged in
some kind of cardio exercise (which means you really need a copy of
Free of Fat Forever. There is a chapter in there addressing how to make
cardio instantly start working for you)
PRE CARDIO
Dry Brush: Gently
take a dry brush and BRUSH your midsection fat problem areas gently for
about 3 to 5 minutes. This might sound silly, until you notice that
your entire midsection area is flushed and red with circulation.
Remember, bad circulation is the problem in the midsection.
Abs: Spend
5 minutes solid on some kind of ab exercise machine and go to failure.
You want to get an awesome pump in the abdominal region. Again, we are
going for circulation here.
In perfect world, you do the
brushing and abs back to back. If you can't and need to go to the gym,
then get the brushing in right as you leave your house.
Cardio: Get in 45 minutes of cardio. Follow all of the rules in Free of Fat Forever.
Post Cardio: Repeat the brushing and ab routine again.
Food: Wait 30 minutes before eating.
Our
objective here is to get you into a fat burning state AND increase the
circulation to the midsection while you are burning fat.
Remember, your fat cells in the midsection are damaged. They do not work correctly. You need to give them help in evening the playing field.
Daily: Dry brush the midsection at bedtime. As you sleep and burn fat, the added circulation in the midsection will certainly not hurt.
If you follow the 9 Essential Rules of Food in Free of Fat Forever, you will be adequately covered on the diet side.
That's the basic routine. Continue to do this prior to cardio. It definitely works.
