text: how do u get a flat tummy fast?   you have two options.   you can cut calories and perform crunches like crazy, try one of the hot new incredible infomercial ab devices and buy the lastest new and improved  “fat burner”.   also there is another  option but it is not too popular. eat right, understand functions of the abdominal muscles, work the body as a whole, and allow for ongoing fat release.   of all of two options, there is only one that "works," all of the time. unfortunately, it “appears” to be the most complicated.   here is the real ab-solution:  before we go any further, i would like to point out that slimming down your abdominal parts really means reducing you body fat percentage in those areas. therefore, the goal is to reduce your body fat percentage.    now that we understand what we are seeking, let us zero in on the solution.  step 1: eat right to release the fat from the fat cells  "eat right" sounds so simplistic, but the idea is maximize natural unprocessed foods and minimize processed or junk foods (please do not go on a depravation diet, it will make things worse). however, you also need to eat in a way that supports fat loss.  the real trick lies in stabilizing blood sugar, which allows fat to be released from your fat cells. you would do that by eating meals free from simple sugars and refined carbs, low in processed saturated fat, and balanced with protein, complex carbs, fiber, and essential fatty acids.   step 2: move your body to burn the fat in the muscle cells.  once the fat is release from the cells, they need to be burned in your muscle cells. releasing the body fat is not enough; you need to support your nutrition with a more active lifestyle. if you are not active, the released fat just goes back to the fat cells and they are not burned. burning that fat make your “six packs” visible.   you not only need to work on your abs or core muscles but you also need to work you the body as a whole (focus on the major muscles like your legs and back).  then you need to optimize circulation with moderate aerobic exercise (do not go crazy), and fat release should be consistent and ongoing, and a little at a time, those abs will shine through.  do not continue doing something just because "they" say it's the way things should be done. allow yourself to choose the solution that will work for you, regardless of what it may be. the only way for you to know who is right is to measure your progress and actually track your results.  change is hard, but it's also worth it. not getting results makes change extremely hard.  get support from friends, family or a coach. losing weight is not as hard at it seems once you know what to do. stop now and sign up to my forbidden weight loss secrets blog at http://www.charlesblain.com because you will receive weight loss secrets that you will not get anywhere else. the result will be that body that you’ve always wanted.  good luck with your journey…  http://www.newjerseypersonaltrainer.com
