1. Did You Know That There are Hidden Foods That are Promoted as "Health Foods" but Actually Stimulate Your Body to Hold Onto Excess Belly Fat & Cover Up Your Six Pack Abs Like a Thick Blanket?
It's True! Scientists have even discovered that some of these particular foods can even produce a hormonal imbalance in your body that triggers belly fat to resist burning and signals it to be stored excessively. These compounds are rampant in our food supply and hard to avoid unless you know what to look for... this goes WAY beyond trans fats... there are some more sinister villians in our food too (more about that later).
2. Did You Also Know That "Abs Exercises" Such as Crunches, Leg Raises, & Sit-Ups are Actually the LEAST EFFECTIVE Method of Getting Rid of Stubborn Stomach Fat & Love Handles to Uncover Your Abs? And No, the Answer to Belly Fat Loss is NOT Cardio Either!
Yep, you heard me right! Abdominal exercises should only be a VERY small portion of your workouts. In addition, If you don't perform the right ab exercises in the most effective fashion, you could actually be making your stomach worse!
Ok, here's the deal... If you want your workouts to stimulate abdominal fat loss for those flat sexy abs, you need a properly designed full body resistance training workout that takes into account certain key factors for stimulating your metabolic rate and increasing your production of fat-burning hormones.
If you ignore these key factors, you're DOOMED to a flabby stomach forever! I'll discuss more details about these key factors in a bit.
3. Another Thing... You've Been Told That Doing Lots and Lots of Cardio is the Best Way to Lose Body Fat... Correct?
WRONG! Once again, the myths that have perpetuated the fitness industry for decades are starting to become more clear.
Did you know that recent properly controlled scientific studies have revealed that people using cardio-based workout routines lost significantly less body fat compared to people who did mostly resistance training based routines? Some subjects even GAINED BODY FAT on the cardio-based workouts, while the resistance trainers got stronger & simultaneously reduced their abdominal fat.
However, you can't just do any old worthless bodybuilder workout routine that you saw in some magazine. Most people inadvertently focus on all the wrong types of exercises in the wrong combinations. That will most likely just set you up for failure and years more of a fat belly with no abs!
There are certain tricks you need to learn to put together a workout routine with combinations that will actually trigger your body to release belly fat. I'll show you those techniques in a minute.
4. Do You Really Need "Fat Loss Pills" and Other Hyped-Up Supplements to Get Rid of Your Stubborn Belly Fat for Good?
No, you don't need any supplements! The amount of deception in the supplement industry really pisses me off. Some supplements are ok (only a very limited few), but I estimate that at least 95% of supplements are a total waste of your money. I'll talk about the only worthwhile ones you can trust, so you can stop wasting your money and being deceived by the clever marketing tactics they use.
5. Ab Belts, Ab-Gadgets, Ab-Rockers/Rollers... all Useless!
Come on now... I know the infomercial showed a ripped sexy fitness model using the Fat-Blaster 6000 Ab Gizmo, but do you really think he or she got that sexy flat stomach by sitting on the couch and using that piece of crap while watching TV?
Hell no! They are ripped and sexy because they are a fitness model and they work hard using REAL WORKOUTS. I'll even show you some insider secrets as to how some of these fitness models get such lean and sexy bodies with rock hard abs. Some of the techniques are pretty clever Click here

Insider Beauty Secrets Other Women Don’t Want You To Know!
Imagine what you would do if you knew miracle working beauty secrets. And what you would do if you had the self confidence that comes with being beautiful. No need to imagine any more, read this article and turn your dreams into reality.
Imagine what you would do if you knew miracle working beauty secrets. And if you had the self confidence that comes with being beautiful.
Now before you laugh and say you'll never be beautiful, listen up.
I know where you're coming from! At one time I didn't know any beauty secrets. Before I learned any beauty secrets I was plain, even bordering on ugly.
I had acne, chapped lips, weight issues, wardrobe disasters, and not so white teeth. But thats all become past with the 5 beauty secrets that have changed my life.
I pulled through all of my beauty nightmares and learned some valuable beauty secrets as a result.
Now people are always commenting to me on my beauty. Saying I should be a model, etc.... And guys are no longer even an issue! I dont have to look for them, they come to me.
It turns out the best beauty secrets are those that are won by personal knowledge and experience. Not just by reading general tips in magazines.
So by experimentation over the years and by perseverance, I've found out what really works and what doesn't.
Beauty Secret 1
Uncheap and beautify your lips with this technique.
For soft, beautifully kissable lips, you need the following: a washcloth (I am not kidding either), warm water, and your favorite brand of lip balm.
First you apply a coat of lip balm. Then wet one corner of the washcloth, put the warm wet corner of the washcloth between your lips, press them together and hold for 5 seconds.
Then gently massage any remaining lip balm from lips with the wet corner of the washcloth, and dry lips with a corner thats dry.
Apply lip balm again to keep your lips chap free. You may also apply lipstick or lip gloss on over the layer of lip balm.
I learned this was the best way to keep lips from chapping, after going through too many winters with dried, and chapped lips.
Beauty Secret 2
Clear your acne, and get beautiful skin.
For clear glowing skin, a little home remedy does wonders for my complexion, as it should with yours too.
Steam your face for 20 minutes every night after washing it, then every other night after steaming your face, massage a half teaspoon castor oil over face.
Leave it on at night while you sleep and wash off immediately upon waking.
Steam face for twenty more minutes in the morning after washing. When you finish steaming your face splash your face with cool water and dry it.
If your skin starts to show any signs of a pimple forming. Take one night off from steaming and applying castor oil and apply Benzoyl Peroxide over face.
Take the next night off also from the steaming, castor oil, and benzoyl peroxide. Continue facial regimen with steaming and castor oil the following night.
This beauty secret will moisturize your face at the same time it will help clear up acne and pimples. But only if you work at it consistently.
Beauty Secret 3
Good taste in clothes.
When shopping for clothes try to stay away from really big prints, or weird mixes of colors (eg. green, pink and blue flowers combined on a white background, for instance).
Clothes like these just scream Im color blind! And if you in fact, actually are color blind, always shop with a friend who isnt and has good taste in clothes.
Buy basic colors. Solid reds, pinks, blues, whites, and blacks. Or things with small tasteful prints and designs.
Then mix and match each basic color with a corresponding one (blue goes well with white, pink, and sometimes with red, and different shades of the same color almost always go well together).
Put these beauty secrets to use, and start seeing the benefits today. Be sure to read Part 2 of this article, which contains the last 2 beauty secrets.

Good Carbs versus Bad Carbs...
The word "carbs" is everywhere these days, and there are many diets which are either "for" carbs or "against" carbs.
The public is getting confused about all this confusion over carbs, and nobody seems to really understand what to do when dieting these days.
So we'll explain the simple truth about carbs and what it takes to begin losing weight immediately.
A "carb" is just a short hand way of saying "a carbohydrate".
A carbohydrate is a special type of calorie which contains extra energy, which is why you'll feel more energetic when eating foods which are rich in carbohydrates. For example, if you eat a bag of candy or a piece of cake then you'll feel very energetic afterwards, because these are foods which are rich in excess carbs.
The truth is that not all carbs are fattening, because there are different types of carbs -- there are "good carbs" and there are "bad carbs" too.
However, if you are overweight (or if you're one of those people who has been overweight since childhood) then it's 99% certain that your daily foods contain too many bad carbs -- and not enough good carbs.
Sugar is a type of bad carb, and most people think they know how to avoid sugar. But the truth is that sugar has MANY different forms which are very hard to spot in foods. ...And this is why you'll never lose weight until you learn to eat good carbs only.
For example, most people falsely believe that eating foods sweetened with honey are somehow healthier than eating foods sweetened with sugar --- but in reality honey is just as fattening as sugar. In fact, honey is filled with the same fattening carbs as sugar.
Why is this true?
This is true because honey (and other bad carbs) cause your blood sugar level to rise sharply after a meal (which is why you'll feel energetic after eating a honey based meal).
This causes you to gain weight because when your blood sugar rises then your body is forced to over-produce a hormone called "insulin" (because insulin is needed to help process excess blood sugar). ...And when your body produces too much insulin then fat storage will occur.
But if you eat good carbs (instead of bad carbs) then your blood sugar level will not skyrocket after each meal, and thus you can burn fat and lose weight much easier. Plus, you'll feel energetic all day on a more even level, without the "highs" and "lows" that most overweight people experience.
So to begin losing weight you need to change the types of foods that you eat each day, and you can do this by learning about the Fat Burning Foods included in our new online diet.

Why Ab Machines Can Never Give You a Slimmer Waistline...
Ab Machines are not the answer to a slimmer waistline.
Ab machines are being advertised everywhere these days, but they are most commonly advertised on late night infomercials.
These infomercials are largely aimed at tricking the public to believe that they can �spot reduce� their stomach by doing a few ab exercises each day.
You�ve seen the infomercials � so you know what we�re talking about.
These infomercials usually have a bunch of super-healthy fitness models walking around with perfect abs -- and they tell you that they owe their great looking abs to whatever �ab machine" that they�re trying to sell to you.
These fitness models usually have a �smile� on their face as they demonstrate the ab machine for you, and they do this so that you�ll believe that it�s �fun and easy� to use their ab machine.
However, what these super-healthy fitness models don�t tell you is that they had great looking abs even before they used an ab machine.
Most of those fitness models were born with super-lean bodies, and this means that they would have great looking abs no matter what.
THE TRUTH ABOUT AB MACHINES
The truth is that ab machines do work to strengthen your ab muscles, but that�s all they do. They strengthen your ab muscles, but they do not make your waistline slimmer -- see the difference?
Ab machines cannot make your stomach THINNER or SLIMMER � they can only make your ab muscles STRONGER.
You see, even if you have the strongest ab muscles in the world, it�s still possible to have a huge waist at the same time.
In fact, just look at football players for a perfect example of this. Football players have some of the strongest ab muscles on the planet (you could almost hit their stomach with a sledgehammer and not hurt them) ---- but yet they are also some of the most overweight athletes on the planet.
This is because they have super strong ab muscles, but those ab muscles are buried beneath layers of fat tissue.
This fact PROVES that ab machines will only give you stronger abs, but they won�t give you a SLIMMER STOMACH.
If you want a thinner waistline then you must lose the fat tissue which is sitting on top of your stomach muscles, and the only way to do that is to follow a good dieting plan.
You must remember that you can make your abs super strong and firm, and yet you can still have tons of fat tissue sitting on top of your stomach which prevents your ab muscles from being seen.
This is the "truth" which ab machine makers don't want you to know when you're watching their fitness models on TV. The truth is that you need to begin a diet to lose the fat which is sitting on top of your ab muscles, since only then will you get a slimmer waistline.
To begin losing weight fast (and to get a slimmer waistline) we recommend using the new Idiot Proof Diet from Fat Loss 4 Idiots. This is a brand new type of diet never seen before. You can begin this new diet right here.

Why Calorie Counting Doesn?t Work for Weight Loss...
Most people believe that calories are the "enemy", since eating excess calories leads to excess fat, right? That?s why most people believe that the fastest way to lose weight is to cut way back on calories each day.
After all, if a dieter is eating 2,500 calories per day and they decide to cut back to 1,500 calories per day ? then obviously those extra 1,000 calories have to result in weight loss, right?
Well, actually this is not exactly true.
In fact, if you try to cut your calories too much (via starving yourself and skipping meals) then you'll quickly reach a dieting "plateau" (a point where the scale refuses to drop any lower no matter how little your are eating).
Firstly, let?s talk about how the average person begins a new diet...
The scenario usually sounds something like this...
One day you look in the mirror and see that your clothes are fitting tighter than normal, and you look more overweight than normal. ...And on this day you get ?angry? with yourself, you?re angry with what you see in the mirror ? and you decide that you?re going to lose weight no matter what it takes.
You are filled with lots of motivation and anger on this day, and you feel determined to do whatever it takes to get slimmer. So what's the first thing you do?
...You begin skipping meals and cutting way back on calories in an attempt to starve yourself thinner, since you're convinced that calories are the enemy.
Anyway, the above scenario is how you begin your ?starvation diet.?
On the first day of dieting you feel so ?motivated? to lose weight that you decide to skip breakfast.
Unfortunately, this motivation doesn't last for long, because after a few hours your hunger begins making you feel weak -- because your body is not accustomed to "skipping meals" like this, and your body is not accustomed to being without calories for so long.
Anyway, by the time lunchtime arrives you?re so hungry (and weak) that you feel absolutely miserable --- but yet you bravely tell yourself that you can handle this diet (because after all, you certainly don?t want to feel like a quitter).
So you perhaps have a piece of fruit for lunch (or perhaps another small food item instead), since you're still convinced that you can starve yourself thinner.
Finally, hours later when dinnertime arrives you?re so miserable and hungry that you have a major headache ? and this is the moment when you finally begin to realize that starving yourself might not be such a good idea after all.
After this first day of starving yourself you feel horrible, but you?re determined to stick to your diet since you don't want to be a quitter so soon -- so you?ll likely hold out for another few days on this diet.
Or, if you are particularly brave then you may even hold out for a week or two.
However, regardless of how long you actually hold out -- you won't get any slimmer and the final result will still be the same.
You see, even after two weeks of starving yourself you won?t have achieved any serious weight loss at all. In fact, your body will still look the same when you look in the mirror.
Why is this true?
This is true because most of the weight lost during a ?starvation diet? is just water weight, and not real fat loss.
You must remember that any ?water weight? lost during a starvation diet will be gained back immediately when you stop dieting and start eating normally again.
Also, whenever you starve yourself you cause a ?hidden? factor to come into play...
You see, whenever you starve yourself your body will begin burning fewer calories each day.
For instance, let?s say that you normally eat about 3,,000 calories per day.
....But then you suddenly cut way back on calories -- so that you're now eating only 1,000 calories per day.
Guess what happens?
Even though you?re eating 2,000 fewer calories per day your body will begin burning 2,000 fewer calories per day ? so in reality your weight will remain the same even though you?re eating 2,000 fewer calories per day.
When this happens the scale will stop going down regardless of how little you are eating each day, and this is known as a weight loss ?plateau.?
This is why most starvation dieters cannot make the scale go down anymore after just two weeks of dieting. They all hit a ?plateau? where the scale just refuses to go down any further, no matter how little they are eating each day.
Now you know why you?ve always failed when trying to starve yourself in the past, since it?s just not possible to lose weight by starving yourself.
The truth is that ?serious? weight loss can never be achieved by starvation dieting.
Serious weight loss can only be achieved by giving your body the right types of calories at the correct times each day, which is something that we talk about below...
Your body is actually like a big ?engine? -- and the truth is that your body needs all 3 types of calories (protein, carbs, and fat) to some degree.
To begin losing weight fast we recommend using the new Idiot Proof Diet from Fat Loss 4 Idiots -- because it does not require any calorie counting (it's one of the only diets in the world which forces fast weight loss without the need to count calories).
