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.

Work out Hard and Lose Your Belly

By Jack Spencer

It wasn't all that long ago when a strong set of arms really defined the sexiness of an individual but that has changed in recent years. It has a lot to do with the fact that people are showing more of their abdominals whenever they are out in public and for that reason, a sexy stomach has really replaced arms as the definition of physical fitness. That is why people will work on this area of the body to an excessive degree.

The unfortunate thing is that many of us are unable to show our abdominals out of embarrassment. Even if we work out on a regular basis and do endless amounts of abdominal exercises, we still may not have the six pack that we are really looking for. The reason why this is the case is because no abdominal muscles are going to remove the layer of fat which is hiding the ab muscles underneath.

If you really want to get the set of sixpack abs, you're going to probably need to forget everything that you already know about obtaining them. The reason why this is the case is because we are constantly fed misinformation by the diet industry as well as those late-night infomercials which are peddling some new contraption every time you turn around. It doesn't matter how hard you work your abdominal muscles, they will not look good unless you get rid of that layer of fat which is covering them over.

The first thing that you need to do is to look at the fat on your belly as you would look at it on all the other areas of your body as well. You are not going to be able to shred fat off of your stomach without losing fat from other key areas of your body. That is a simple fact of nature and it is one that you're going to have to accept if you want to be successful in getting great abdominals.

Another thing that is true is that the larger muscles of your body are what is going to burn the fat off of your abs, not the ab muscles themselves. The leg muscles and at times, the muscles in the core of the body are the ones that you really need to concentrate on building. If you work out your legs on a regular basis, your body is going to be leaner as a result.

For every pound of muscle that you gain on your body, your body will burn an additional 60 calories per day. If you're able to put 10 pounds of muscle onto your body, that is 600 calories every day that is gone, which equates to just over 1 pound of body fat per week.

If you're working the larger muscles of your body whenever you are at the gym, you are going to notice results in the body fat composition of your body as a whole. The leg muscles are the easiest for you to bulk up, so make sure that you're working them first while you're at the gym.
