Abdominal Fat,Abdominal Obesity And How To Get Rid Of Ab Fat For Good
By the way this is my personal article based on personal experience and research that I have done for quite some time so I shall my views and research on how to get rid of ab fat so you can see that six pack of abs you always wanted.
As the national obesity level rises in this country due to several factors one problem that seems to be on the rise is the amount of people(mostly men)are experiencing abdominal obesity,a state where the individual has mostly fat around the ab region then anywhere else,in fact you can be skinny on other parts of your body but all or most of the fat that someone accumulates ends up the least place no one wants,the ab region.There are several causes of this:
Stress-High levels of stress has been linked to a whole bunch of health problems including abdominal obesity and a host of other problems like high blood pressure,heart disease and other health problems.
Cortisol-Cortisol is a stress hormone released by the adrenal gland,cortisol has been known to cause fat gains in people,in fact it's one of the big 3 hormones in the body that causes fat gain(the other two are insulin and estrogen)but it seems that cortisol is also a very big ab fat builder as well,in fact some studies indicate that cortisol could be responsible for at least 45-50% of abdominal fat gains in men alone.What cause cortisol to be release,several factors such as hunger,stress(personal stress and exercise induced stress)lack of sleep and some other factors as well.
Poor Diet-This seems to be the other major factor on why some people gain fat around the ab area.Eating the wrong foods at the wrong time can do this to people in a hurry.Eating sugar based and high fatty foods will put a spare tire real quick.How,well like I mentioned above insulin is a very big fat producing hormone if it's manipulated in a way where excess sugar is converted into fat once glycogen stores have been filled,that means that once glycogen has been replenished by the body,any excees glycgoen is converted into bodyfat,well it seems that most of it ends up being stored in the ab region and that is how insulin if not manipulated the right way can cause that unsightly pot belly that everyone dreads to see.
Estrogen-One of the big 3 hormones responsible for fat gains(see above what the other 2 are)high levels of estrogen in men and women have been known to put on pounds of ugly fat.Well in some cases,in men especially,estrogen can be a pretty good ab fat building hormone,studies that have been conducted suggested that high levels of estrogen in men can increase ab fat in the ab region in addition to other factors such as high levels of cortisol and poor food choices too,talk about triple whammy.
Lack Of Exercise-Those who don't exercise or don't do much have a tendiency to put fat on real fast,people who don't exercise tend to eat bad and have more stress which causes fat gains.Laziness often does this to people,if your on the couch eating pizza and drinking beer,chances are that you don't get enough exercise to help burn fat and keep it off.
So with all of these factors how can we reduce ab fat region(or even fat on other parts of the body)well speaking from personal experience and research I have done here are some tips on how to burn that ugly fat belly and see those sculpted abs that you worked so hard for.
BCAA's-Research has been done on this and the results are amazing,scientists have conduted tests on this and all the tests point out that supplementing BCAA's can reduce ab fat.If you are on a reduced-calorie diet, BCAAs can contribute to a greater loss of fat while maintaining your strength levels.Take at least 3-5 grams for desired results.
CLA-As more and more studies come out on CLA and it's fat burning benefits,more and more people are jumping on the CLA bandwagon,CLA is a type of fatty acid,found in certain foods such as meat and dairy product.CLA has been known to be a good ab fat reducer too,it attacks adipose cells in the abdominal regioin and converts them into energy.Take at least 3g daily,a good source of CLA are supps that have toalin CLA and free range meat such as buffalo.
EFA's-What can I say,EFA's may be the secret weapon on not only building muscle but reducing bodyfat as well.Good fats found in sources such as olive oil,natural peanut butter,flax seed and flax see oils,fish and fish oils,etc have been known to pack on some muscle and reduce body fat,consume at least 20% fats into your diet,you won't regret it.
Exercise-By doing either cardio,high intense weight lifting or both you increase your metabolic rate thus you burn bodyfat in the process,speed up your metabolic drive by doing high intensity weighlifting focusing on compound movements such has bench press,deadlift and squat,these exercises jack up growth hormone levels and we all know that growth hormone is a potent fat burner.Also do HIIT style of cardio,HIIT has been proven to burn more fat then traditional low intensity cardio.Doing 20 minutes of HIIT cardio can burn fat more then doing 45 minutes of low impact cardio.For more info on HIIT check out this website http://www.musclemedia.com/training/hiit.asp
Reduce Stress And Cortisol-As stated above,stress and an increase of cortisol can increase bodyfat especially around the ab region.Reducing stress is a personal choice of someones,several factors such as job,childern and money problems can cause high levels of stress so each individual has to find a way to reduce the stress on his or her own by looking at what is causing it and figuring out on how to deal with it,as far as cortisol is concerned,there are supps out there that can help such as a multi-vitamin complexe,PS(Phosphatidylserine) is one the best cortisol reducers on the market so you guys might want to try that out,there is also an article in the frat house anabolic forum on this site that explains what cortisol is and how do reduce it down.
Reducing Estrogen-By reducing estrogen and controling hormonal balance in your body,you can burn fat faster,you can do this by diet,not taking anything that can increae estrogen such as highly androgenic steroids(unless you have some anti e's on hand)and reducing stress in your life.
Get Your Diet In Check-We all know that a poor diet can increase bodyfat levels so it's up to you to change your diet by eating at least 6 meals a day,if you eat 6 meals a day,your body becomes a fat burning furnace,this effect is called the metabolic effect of eating,so not only are you getting the right nutrients to help build muscle,your also buring that unwanted fat,especially the fat covering the abs.Focus on eating quality protein found in lean meats,fish,chicken,turkey,cottege cheese,eggs and supplements,good fats found in olive oil,flax,fish and fish oil and all natty peanut butter,eat only complex carbs such as yams,whole grain breads and rice,oatmeal certain fruits and veggies,avoid empty calories such as soda pop and beer and avoid high fatty foods and simple sugars(except post workout).
I speak from personal experience,because I had a pot belly at one time and I did all of these things and in no time I lost it all and found those abs that I have built while it was being covered in all that ugly fat.Do all or most of these tips and watch ugly bodyfat everywhere,including ab fat disappear for good.
