Want to lose your belly fat once and for all?

Affectionately referred to as the "spare tire region", belly fat belongs to that category most are intimately familiar with... The PROBLEM FAT AREAS. You probably know the other members: fat hips, saggy buttocks, love handles, flabby underarms...? Some are more familiar to men and some to woman.

And why are these areas a problem? Because no matter how much dieting you do or weight loss you experience, these areas never seems to disappear!

If you haven't noticed by now... The fad diets on the market won't do anything for belly fat or other problem fat areas. There are many people who have lost weight on such diets, but the weight loss is disproportionate. Woman who go on these diets tend to lose weight in the upper body and retain all of the fat around their hips and upper legs. This gives them a "pair shaped" appearance. On the other hand men who partake in such diets tend to lose fat everywhere except the belly region. They develop more of an "apple shaped" body.

The reason that the vast majority of fad diets do nothing for belly fat and other problem fat areas is because they do not address the cause. Your problem fat is merely a symptom that is caused when your body is not getting what it needs. Contrary to popular belief, if you are overweight chances are you are also undernourished. You are getting enough calories but they are mostly empty. An undernourished body that is getting a lot of calories without a lot of nutrition is a perfect environment for creating problem fat.

So the question everyone is dying to have answered...

"How do I get rid of it once and for all?"

Here are three things that you can do that will have a profound impact. Like so many others I also have struggled with problem fat, especially belly fat, and these three steps have worked wonders for me.

1) Change what you eat

You must stay away from processed food. This food is high in the empty calories that are the building blocks of problem fat areas. Eat a diet consisting of primarily plant-based unprocessed food. Plant-based unprocessed food is high in nutrients and low in calories. It is excellent fat burning fuel! Don't freak out... this does not mean that you have to become a vegetarian. Simply put, the more your diet consists of plant-based unprocessed food, the more nutrients you will get, directly helping your body to burn problem fat areas.

2) Colon Cleansing

It's amazing just how much toxic waste your body accumulates through the years. This is especially true for those who eat a lot of processed food. The intestinal tract of the vast majority of individuals has lots of stored waste. OK, it is down right clogged up! I realize that this is a touchy subject, so I will spare you the details. Just note... unclogging the colon works wonders when it comes to removing problem fat because it allows your body to absorb more nutrients as well as to eliminate excess fat.

3) Create a Calorie Deficit

This does not mean starving yourself! This means exercising... Push your body a little. Exercise type is not as important as intensity. Have you ever noticed the people who try to walk their way to the body of their dreams? They are still walking... You need to sweat. Exercising with intensity forces your body to dip into your belly fat reserves.
