Are you
fat, tired, and unhappy with your appearance? When you look in the
mirror, do you see a protruding belly and NO SIX pack
abs? Have you tried everything from exercise to eating right
- all to no avail? What may be happening is this: you may be lacking
essential nutrients in your diet which may INCREASE your fat burning potential.
But more importantly, if you find yourself
overweight, you may have some deadly tissue growing inside your body. And
it may be wrapping itself around your organs. This may INCREASE your risk
for developing chronic diseases. And those nutrients may be a
KEY to fighting this nasty type of fat.
What am I
talking about? The connection between vitamin D, calcium and visceral
fat! Give me a moment and I will open your eyes to the newest research
that is sweeping the nation. And it may help banish your BELLY FLAB
forever!
There are two types of fat in your body: subcutaneous and visceral.
One fat lies on TOP of your
muscles, preventing you from seeing your six pack abs. The other lies
deeper, closer to your vital organs. Chances are, if you have a protruding belly - then you
may have MORE visceral fat. Visceral fat may be deadly to your body’s fat
burning potential, and also to your HEALTH. In fact, the more visceral
fat you have may increase your risk of developing CHRONIC
DISEASES.
Visceral Fat is commonly referred to as intra-abdominal
fat. This type of fat may be found in between and around your organs -
even wrapped around your heart! And when it is wrapped around your heart,
your risk for heart disease may increase. The problem with visceral fat:
it may consist of more than just one type of fat. In fact, it may be made
up of THREE different types! And they may all reside in a “pocket” in
your fat cells.
And these pockets may be FILLED TO THE
BRIM with nasty FAT. You might be asking yourself if
there is a way to rid yourself of visceral fat. I am here to say YES, you
may be able to cleanse your body of this disease-causing fat! But
first…
Protein and Weight Loss - Protein may
provide the building blocks you need to maintain lean muscle tissue on your
body. And lean muscle may BOOST your metabolism,
possibly leading to a tone and lean body.
There are different ways to
increase your intake of dietary protein:
• Lean
meats
• Nuts
• Protein supplements
However, with a hectic
lifestyle you may be TOO busy and have very little time throughout your day to
make a chicken breast or some kind of lean meat. And you may have
forgotten to replenish your stack of nuts. The next best way is to mix
your favorite protein powder with a tall glass of low fat milk or coconut
milk. This may give you good fats and an ample protein supply, which may
be vital for lean muscle development.
Plus, it may provide more vitamin D
and calcium, which may stimulate your body to burn MORE visceral
fat. Confused? Let me explain…
Vitamin D, Calcium,
and Fat Loss - Researchers may have determined that vitamin D and
calcium TOGETHER may be a potent one-two punch for
weight loss. And not your regular run-of-the-mill fat loss, but a potent
fighter against visceral fat. These researchers have determined that a
large percentage of Americans may be lacking in calcium and vitamin
D. And this may lead to an increase in obesity. In a similar
study, researchers determined that youth who may be lacking in vitamin D, may be
one key for the rise in youth obesity.
Now back to the ADULT
study!
The researchers recruited 171 participants with an average age of
40. They were randomly assigned to one of two groups: one with fortified
orange juice (both regular and lite), and the other as a placebo. The
results were ASTOUNDING! Both groups showed insignificant weight
loss. Insignificant weight loss means that it might have been
statistically insignificant.
However, the group who had the fortified
orange juice - lost 12.7 cm of visceral fat. The control
group lost only 1.3 cm.
Plus, the participants in the “lite” version -
lost a dramatic 13.1 cm of visceral fat. The control
group in the lite version lost only 6.4 cm.
Their researchers concluded
that vitamin D, in combination with Calcium supplementation, may reduce
visceral fat deposits. Even though this research is new and needs further
study on the exact mechanism, the results may prove promising for reducing
central obesity.
What Can You Do? - Obesity has
grown to epic proportions. And these numbers may continue to climb in the
foreseeable future. Being overweight or obese may increase your chances
of developing chronic diseases. In fact, the longer you hold onto your
FAT may dramatically increase your risk. There are two types of fat in
your body: subcutaneous and visceral.
Visceral fat may be DEADLY to your
health. Including more calcium and vitamin D may increase your body’s
ability to BOOST VISCERAL FAT BURNING, thereby banishing
it FOREVER. Including more foods that supply your body with adequate
vitamin D and calcium may provide a powerful one-two punch for visceral fat
loss.
Including a product, like Prograde Lean, may increase your
protein intake, possibly supplying your body with the building blocks it needs
to maintain lean muscle tissue. Mix it with a glass of a low fat, organic
dairy product, or your favorite fortified juice and you maybe one your way to
increasing your weight loss, especially the loss of nasty visceral
fat.

Elliptical trainers include upper body conditioning as they are a combination stair climber and ski machine. Walking, on the other hand is considered an excellent weight bearing abdominal exercise that is accessible to everyone.
