P.O.R.N. Diets

I am coining this term as I feel some of the diets out there are so radical they need to be discussed in one place.

We here from our favorite celebrities daily and some of us live for this. We follow them on Twitter, talk about them on Bebo and MySpace or e mail each other about them especially when a new diet is talked about.

There have been some over the top radical diets in the past like the 'Air diet', not a very popular one for obvious reasons unlike the 'Chocolate' diet. Then there is the more main stream 'Atkins' diet or 'The Dash Diet' or even 'The South Beach Diet'. All have there plus and minus points and their advocates and nay sayers as well.

The trick when it comes to diets if there is a trick in selecting one would be to thoroughly research the topic. The mere fact that there literally are thousands of diets commercially available shown on television, billboards or even your local Chemist shop.

Here will be many, many articles pertaining to the topic of P.O.R.N. Diets circulating our media and your opinion on them is most welcome. Maybe you have been on one and would like to praise it or maybe warn others away from it. Whatever you may like to share, diet related, please do.

Abdomen Fat and How to Break It

By Michael Timms

Not only is a solid, flat abdomen the critical symbol of sex appeal, experts have discovered that losing abdominal fat is one of the most important steps you can obtain to stay fit for life.

Most people recognize that excess fat is detrimental, but the type is where the fat is distributed. Individuals with apple-shaped bodies (fattest in the stomach) have a greater risk of heart disease and diabetes than those with pear shapes (fattest in the hips, buttocks, and thighs).

There are two major types of fat in the tummy area. Visceral (pronounced viss-er-al) fat is stored deep inside your body. It surrounds and protects your internal organs. Subcutaneous (pronounced sub-cue-tain-ee-us) fat, on the other hand, is stored just beneath your skin. It's what wobbles when you hop up and down.

What's the greatest way to lose tummy fat?

It won't stun you to study that the best way to lose abdominal fat is to consume right and exercise regularly. And there's a increasing body of investigation to show that the best way to burn off the fat from your stomach is with a combination of weight training and aerobic exercise.

And the consequence?

People who lifted weights, did more powerful cardio, and consumed more protein lost more fat generally (-20.6%) than the usual group (-10.1%). They also gained 2 pounds of muscle (0.9 kilograms) despite the fact that the cardio-only group, not amazingly, lost muscle.

More interesting still, abdominal fat dropped by 26%, but by just 13.5. So, subjects lost roughly twice as much abdomen fat.

At this point, I should show that this wasn't the whole study. For one, although the subjects were told to record what they ingested, there's no way of knowing how precise these records were. So, this was not a study where the diet was firmly controlled by the professionals.

Unfortunately, self-reported food ingestion is a notoriously wrong way to appraise calorie intake. A few studies illustrate that people misjudge their calorie ingestion by up to 50% [3]. Which means that somebody who says they are consuming 1000 calories per day may certainly be consuming 2000 calories.

It's also worth nothing that subjects taking part in this review exercised for up to six days per week. Don't agonize if you don't have time for all this working out. With the correct program, four days weekly is enough.

So, if you want to drop stomach fat, what should you do?

First of all, you will want to train. And a weak 30 or 40 minutes of cardio in your purported "fat-burning zone" two or three times a week isn't going to be sufficient. As you've learned, a full-body guidance program that includes both cardiovascular and challenge exercise will produce better, faster results.

Forget about doing hundreds of crunches, sit-ups, or any of the numerous "drawing in the stomach button" exercises. They're virtually useless for the majority people when it comes to losing abdomen fat.

Abdominal exercises do NOT burn fat away from your abs! This can only be proficient thru a much more effective full-body training routine that maximizes both your metabolic reaction and your hormonal response to your workouts."

Consider, belly fat is stored energy. To get rid of it, you need to burn additional energy (calories) than you consume. And these exercises don't burn enough calories to create much of a difference to the appearance of your waist and tummy.
