Hunger is a Side Effect of Weight-Loss Maintenance

One of the things it does, of course, is to make the dieter hungry. And this goes beyond the ordinary pangs of eating less. Calorie reduction has repeatedly been shown to prod the body into boosting its output of hormones that make us hungry and reducing those that make us feel full. And as with metabolic changes, it was assumed that this was temporary. But a recent Australian study found that these hunger-inducing hormonal responses were unchanged one year later.

So, along with burning fewer calories, the body makes us ravenous. A one-two punch to the gut, as it were. The director of the Australian study put it bluntly: “The only way to maintain weight loss is to be hungry all the time.” Your Biggest Weight-Loss Hurdle: Your Bodycalorielab.com/news/

So what gets rid of extra abdominal fat, including visceral fat?

Both your food intake as well as your training program are important if you are to get this right and the good news is that I've spent over a decade researching this topic, analyzing the science, and applying it "in the trenches" with myself as well as thousands of my clients from all over the world to see what works to really stimulate abdominal fat loss.

I've actually even seen a particular study that divided thousands of participants into a diet-only group and an exercise & diet combined group. While both groups in this study made good progress, the diet-only group lost significantly LESS abdominal fat than the diet & exercise combined group.

From my research, two of the most important aspects to getting rid of visceral fat are:

1. The use of high intensity forms of exercise and full-body resistance training. Low intensity cardio exercise simply isn't as effective for removing visceral fat in particular. High intensity exercise such as interval training, sprints (bike sprints or running sprints), AND full-body weight training are very effective at helping to improve your body's ability to manage glucose and increases insulin sensitivity, a crucial step in removing visceral fat.

These types of high intensity exercise routines are also very effective at increasing your fat-burning hormones and creating a hormonal environment conducive to burning off abdominal fat, including visceral fat.

2. In addition, it's vitally important to get blood sugar under control to help restore insulin sensitivity through the right nutrition. This means greatly reducing sugars and refined starches in your diet (including fully eliminating any use of harmful high fructose corn syrup!), and focusing more of your diet on healthy fats (such as avocados, nuts, seeds, coconut fat, olive oil, grass-fed butter, free-range eggs, fatty fish and fish oils, etc), as well as increasing protein and fiber intake. The standard diet recommended by the government, which contains an unnaturally high grain intake is NOT conducive to controlling blood sugar and reducing visceral fat!

Reducing grain-based foods in your diet and getting more of your carbs from veggies and high fiber fruits such as berries can go a long way to helping to solve this problem.truthaboutabs.com/abdominal-fat-dangers.html
