How to Lose Belly Fat: The 8 Stupid Mistakes Everybody Makes and How to Avoid Them

If you make any of these 8 mistakes you won’t lose weight, no matter what diet you are using. Here you’ll discover what they are and how to avoid them.

1. Not planning. “I don’t know what my triggers are, what my danger situations are that cause me to lose my healthy focus or want to overeat.” Fix: Take ten minutes every night before bedtime to plan your schedule and your diet for the next day. Include accomplishing the single most effective thing you could reasonably do to help you lose weight and get healthy. Consider possible food and eating triggers you might run into and plan a workaround.

2. Fixing feelings with food. “I’m kind of feeling down, so let’s have dessert.” Fix: Plan to eat healthful food routinely all through the working day. Make certain you have encouraging people in your life to communicate to and talk to them. On the other hand, spend time genuinely helping others, as it can do amazing things for your spirits. Get medical assistance if you need it.

3. Avoiding exercise. “I’ll start that workout routine next week…” Fix: Start slowly, perhaps start by walking a little daily, if only for ten minutes. Check out the types of exercise that take only a few minutes a week (high intensity training) if time is an issue, or conversely those that are easiest, like walking, if the stress and strain of exercise is an issue.

4. Looking for the future fix. “If I can just get that new workout equipment, or running outfit, my fat will start dropping off.” Fix: Question yourself about what you can do right away to shift your body toward wellness. Then do it. Include this question in your evening planning sessions.

5. Imagining tasty sweets or other junk food. Fix: Plan to keep healthy but quick food around, and eat it often throughout the day. Prevent cravings before they arise.

6. Tolerating the insulin yo-yo. Some foods will cause your body to rush in with insulin. Your blood sugar goes up and down like a yo-yo leading to fat storage and fatigue. Fix: Notice when these swings happen, and what you ate just before them. Avoid the fast/binge syndrome by planning to eat regularly throughout the day. Some supplements like chromium and cinnamon are thought to help smooth out these swings. See a doctor if you need too.

7. Packing in junk food during a hunger attack. Acting like a “Cookie Monster.” Fix: Plan for eating quality food before you are really hungry. Develop better awareness of your body’s subtle hunger clues. Eat a reasonable amount slowly, and then wait at least 20 minutes before you eat more.

8. Shopping with bad habits. Fix: Invade the healthy fresh food areas of your local market before venturing into the processed foods sections, but only after you’ve eaten well. Plan to buy healthy meals and snacks in your nightly planning sessions before you ever go to the store.

Fat Loss vs. Weight Loss: What’s the Real Difference?

Posted by – January 3, 2012

The term ‘weight loss’ is not a help to you in the quest for better health and a more attractive body. This is because it applies to so many different types of bodily changes. Loss of fat, muscle, bodily waste, toxins, a reduction in water retention or a sudden illness can all cause the type of weight loss that you see on your bathroom scale. Conversely, certain types of foods can cause a gain in one or more of these areas, usually over months or years, but sometimes in just a matter of days.

‘Fat loss’ specifically means a reduction in the percentage of fat cells to other types of bodily cells. Fat loss is much more important to understand than weight loss. High percentages of body fat can contribute directly to diseases such as diabetes, heart attack, hypertension, stroke and cancer. These illnesses add to the emotional and social tolls already experienced by people with high body fat who often are seen as less attractive.

Many myths exist around the issue of fat loss. Is there such a thing as ‘targeted’ fat loss? The debate is hot and heavy, and current scientific knowledge is changing at a rapid clip, which only adds to the heat. Here are some examples of the conflicting opinions we hear every day:

• Some say there is no such thing as targeting specific areas for fat loss. Instead, they insist fat always reduces from all parts of the body equally.
• Others say fat reduces differently on one person than on the next, and there is no way to influence that pre-programmed pattern.
• Exercise gurus preach that specific exercise regimens will target or ‘spot reduce’ specific bodily areas, like hip, thigh or abdominal fat.
• Diet gurus say their diet will reduce a specific area of flab, especially on the belly, thighs or buttocks. Other diet experts think specific spot reduction from dieting is impossible.

With all this confusion, what is a mere layperson to think? Well, it may be fairly straightforward after all. Nutritionist Josh Bezoni has put together the latest information from current nutritional science in a format that even the physiologically ignorant can understand. Here are few a solid points that could help to clear up this mess.

The latest understanding regarding fat loss and weight loss is this:

• Fat reduces from each person in a unique pattern that, according to our current understanding, is genetically locked in and unchanging
• Certain types of foods and food additives can cause fat gain specifically in the belly
• Rebound fat storage, which happens when the body determines there isn’t enough food eaten as with most traditional diets, can tend to concentrate fat in specific areas like the abdomen
• A diet and exercise plan that creates a slight calorie deficit will cause fat loss. When this is coupled with the avoidance of specific food additives which actually increase belly fat, this plan will ultimately yield more reduction in belly fat than a standard diet regimen

So, there you have it. Fat loss, not weight loss, is the real key. Avoid the kinds of foods that add belly fat. Reduce the right types of calories to reduce all over fat. Eat foods that leave you satisfied, not foods that create cravings. For maximum belly fat loss make sure your diet does not set you up for immediate fat rebound.

Why Is This Man Called the ‘King of Fast Weight Loss?’

Posted by – December 28, 2011

Josh Bezoni has recently become known worldwide in the diet and weight loss industry as a nutritionist who is able to quickly help his clients with stubborn fat loss problems. Using his industry leading knowledge of the latest nutritional research, Mr. Bezoni has worked with tens of thousands of men and women to make small changes in their eating habits that yield big results in their percentage of body fat.

Josh Bezoni: Nutritionist and Fat Loss Expert

Mr. Bezoni is the President of Global Nutrition Sciences, Inc., located in the Denver, Colorado area. He has appeared on several major television networks such as ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS and The Travel Channel to explain the reasons why the old familiar diet programs many of us have worked with do not attack the hidden causes of abdominal fat in either men or women. Out of sheer frustration many people have turned to more drastic, dangerous and expensive methods to try to regain healthy midsections. These include extreme diets, so called ‘fat loss pills,’ and even liposuction or laser fat reduction.

Bezoni has launched a crusade to teach the people of the United States, a nation struggling with a growing obesity problem, to lose an aggregate 100 tons of belly fat through his published videos and written material. He is calling the nation’s icon Statue of Liberty by a new name, “The Statue of Obesity” and he is very serious about creating true liberty from this life-shortening disease.

Some have called him the “King of Fast Weight Loss” due to the quick results that his clients have demonstrated. Some clients say they have lost as much as 11 pounds of fat, “toxic waste” and excess water in the first week alone.  But Bezoni also teaches us that real fat loss, his true target, is a different story than quick weight loss. And this is where he has really stepped ahead of other diet gurus.

Josh Bezoni’s 7 Day Belly Blast Diet 2.0.

Bezoni’s students are finding that his belly fat loss program is following up rapid initial weight loss with real long term fat loss results. And they don’t seem to have the problems with sudden fat bounce back that traditional dieters have struggled with. Josh Bezoni is a man to watch in the field of fat loss. We expect great things from him.
