The Majority of people are not aware that carrying extra fat around their waistline carries with it a significant increase in risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes.

A survey of twelve thousand adults found most had no idea that a fat stomach was a sign of a build-up of a dangerous type of fat around their internal organs. This fat around your internal organs is strongly related with type II diabetes and heart disease, cancer and stroke.

It is theorized that visceral fat has a direct correlation to the release of proteins and hormones that cause irritation & inflammation, which in turn damages arteries, affects your liver, and determines how your body breaks down sugars and fats.

Measuring Your Fat Number Risk is Easy You probably have the most powerful tool available to determine your risk of diabetes and heart disease right at your fingertips – a plain ordinary tape measure.

Your BMI, and overall level of fitness are not the best indicators of insulin sensitivity, your mid waist size in many cases is much more reliable. Study after study clearly shows that measuring your waist size is one great way to predict your risk for diabetes.

Measuring your waist size is simple. With a tape measure, measure the distance around the smallest area of your abdomen below your rib cage and above your belly button.

If you’re an adult male, these measurements apply to your risk ratio:

• Ideal waist measurement: between 30 and 36 inches
• Overweight: between 36 and 40 inches
• Obese: over 40 inches

For adult women:

• Ideal waist measurement: between 27 and 33 inches
• Overweight: between 33 and 37 inches
• Obese: over 37 inches

The Two Keys to Getting Rid of Your Belly Fat

1. Eliminate white sugar and significantly reduce carbohydrates from your diet.

Did you know refined white sugar is much more addictive than cocaine? It’s one of the most addictive substances you can eat. And the consumption rate has risen dramatically over the last 10 years. The average person in America consumes over 100 pounds of sugar each year.

Refined sugar is not the only thing you must avoid, unfortunately the sugar substitutes like aspartame, NutraSweet and Splenda besides causing additional unhealthy chemical reactions in your body, they also cause you to crave more carbohydrates and increases your chances of increasing calorie intake.

Empty caloric foods should also be eliminated example chips, candy, pretzels. These processed junk foods are metabolized quickly into sugar in your body and should be eliminated from your diet if you suffer from excess weight, diabetes or high cholesterol.

Following a simple high metabolism nutrition plan and foods with a low glycemic index is an easy way to automatically reduce your body’s opportunity to make fat. Doctor Directed provides a complete list of metabolism boosting foods as well as glycemic index foods.

2. Exercise Daily With Burst Exercise. (Takes 7 minutes)

Studies show regular, burst exercise is ultimately important in getting rid of organ fat and keeping it off. Burst exercise also decreases the inflammatory actions of visceral fat that are linked to heart disease, cancer and diabetes.

The keys to proper exercise to eliminate fat cells are to do the right kind of exercise. Think like a sprinter not a long distance runner. Don’t overdo it when you start, and when done correctly only require about 7 -12 minutes per day.

There are three important variables with exercise:

• Length of time – 7-12 minutes
• Frequency – daily
• Intensity – think like a sprinter not a long distance runner

If you don’t think you’re healthy enough to exercise with burst exercise; You are wrong. Burst exercise simply is exercising at full capacity. The definition of full capacity is different for each person.

Key Thought:

Choose your exercise (Doctor Directed Weight Loss Program provides over 30 exercise videos) and go as fast and hard as you can for 30 – 60 seconds… Rest or slow down the pace considerably for 60 seconds to 2 min then do it again. Repeat this process 3 – 4 times. You should gradually increase the speed or intensity of your workouts as your body responds.

To be effective you must reach what Dr Alan calls “Oxygen Debt” you should be panting for your breath. When you follow this plan as explained fully in the Doctor Directed Weight Loss program you will reach your fat loss goal with ease.
