Belly Fat is an inherited gene

New article on the web - same old story. Belly fat is dangerous. Belly fat must be lost before you can flatten your belly with exercises like sit-ups.

Belly fat, like grey hair is an inherited gene. Those with the pear shape say they would rather have the belly - grass is greener type of thinking.

Try thinking of it this way. Your belly fat is like a garbage dump. Ok a recycle center.

If you eat lots of fresh vegetables and fruits, the peelings go into the compost heap and recycle themselves into useful fuel for the earth - for more vegetables and fruits.

If you eat canned goods and boxed goods and frozen foods, the peelings go in the garbage to the land fill to sit for years. They sit right next to the plastic discards. Ok so you recycle - energy that could be used for something else must be used to shred those paper, plastic, alum peelings and then reform them into the same thing. They may not sit in a garbage dump but they also do nothing to nourish the earth.

The compost heap disappears over time -- the land fill just gets bigger.

If you are exercising, you are using fuel from your belly fat. Your body is engineered to pull fat from that area first. Your exercise could be as simple as taking a daily walk and doing housework or yard work.

The more exercise you do the faster you reduce your belly fat. Once it is down to a manageable level then you start the crunches. First you have to build the core muscles and that is part of the walk.

So, exercise in general reduces belly fat. But if your daily diet has too much sugar and processed foods then the incoming belly fat storage has to be increased.

Exercise alone won't do it. Restricted diet alone won't do it.

Start out with the daily walk. Start out by restricting white from your diet. (sugar,mayonnaise,bread)

The third primary ingredient in this formula - sleep. For the obese sleep is hard to get. Breathing is difficult and consequently you don't get that all important solid bank of sleep. For optimum health and weight control you need 6-8 hours of sleep every night.

Stress is a killer in any language and the lack of sleep contributes to stress. Stress contributes to the build up of belly fat. Hating yourself for the belly fat contributes to stress -- the never ending cycle.

The odds of you getting on the Biggest Loser TV show where you are forced into a good way of eating and exercise -- those odds are too big. You will have to find it in yourself - the will, the energy, the won't power, the determination to go the distance.

Most doctors now recognize that the addiction to sugar is as strong as nicotine, alcohol or illegal drugs. Replacing the sugar with artificial sweeteners is like replacing non-filtered cigarette with filtered cigarette.

Just like the reformed smoker, you will have to accept that you can never have those doughnuts again. Sure, one won't hurt you --- unless it is the one that leads to the whole box.
