     The secrets to losing stubborn stomach fat? That is what people all over the world want to know. Questions about fitness are asked every day, but by far one of the most common themes of these questions revolve around the struggles that most people are having with losing that flabby stomach fat that doesn't seem to want to go away no matter what they try.
     Fitness professional Mike Geary is a well-known expert who deals exclusively with the most effective strategies for losing stomach fat so that you can finally uncover those elusive six pack abs that everyone desires. Some of his strategies deal with nutrition aspects and others deal with training techniques. To that end, he has put together one of the most comprehensive resources for dealing with all of the aspects necessary to finally get rid of that nasty belly fat for good. The key is that he focuses on the REAL techniques that are going to get you lasting results, and teaches you how to avoid all of these ‘quick-fix’ scams and gimmicks that are all over the infomercials and the internet these days.
     Here are a few of the mistakes that Mike see's every day where people are going wrong in their fat loss attempts.
  • Most people are wasting too much of their time doing hundreds of reps of ineffective crunches, situps, and other ‘abs pumping’ exercises in their attempt at losing stomach fat.
     Mike has discovered that there are certain highly effective exercises that stimulate your metabolism much better, and increase your fat burning hormone levels much more. These exercises that he outlines are the best of the best for getting a lean, chiseled body. Surprisingly to most, the majority of these most effective exercises for stomach fat loss are NOT ‘abs-specific’ exercises. Not only that, but he shows you how to combine and sequence them to get the best metabolic and fat loss results possible, changing the shape of your entire body.
  • Most people are wasting way too much time doing hours upon hours of boring monotonous cardio routines.

After all of this research, he has come to the conclusion that the majority of people out there are not doing the right types of cardio exercise.

The strategies that he reveals in his program go beyond ‘interval cardio’ too.
  • Most people are failing miserably with fad diets.
     Mike reveals exactly why most low-carb or low-fat diets are actually working against what your body needs to become lean and ripped and maintain it for life.

     Why Paleo Diet critics are wrong ... here's what they don't understand.
     If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of THE best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular 'fad' diets out there.
     The truth is that the Paleo Diet will NEVER be considered a 'fad' because it’s just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 1.9 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most 'diseases of civilization' such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it’s a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is NOT true!
     There is no one single Paleo Diet, as our ancestors from all over the world ate dramatically different diets depending on the climate where they lived, their landscape, accessibility to water bodies, and the latitude that they lived.
     In some cases, a Paleo Diet may be 90% plant foods and 10% animal foods, and in other cases, a Paleo Diet may be 90% animal foods and 10% plant foods.
     For example, our ancestors that lived near the equator had year-long access to more plant materials such as root vegetables and various fruits, veggies, and nuts.
     On the other hand, our ancestors that lived at higher latitudes further away from the equator only had access to fruits and vegetables seasonally at one specific time period per year, and had larger periods of the year where they ate a higher % of meats, organ meats, fish, and other animal-based foods, or fermented foods that could be stored for winter.
     However, studies of tribes or isolated groups of people still living off the land and eating a hunter-gatherer diet (such as the research conducted by Dr Weston Price) consistently shows the distinct LACK of modern western diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, obesity, and alzheimers, and this distinct lack of degenerative disease occurs regardless of what % of their calories came from protein, carbs, or fat. This is one of the biggest misunderstands of Paleo eating.
     Some of these tribes or groups of people eating an ancestral diet do indeed eat a very high % of their annual calories from protein and fat (such as the Masaai and Samburu tribes, or the Inuit people), whereas on the other hand, there are also examples of isolated groups of people such as the Kitavans that eat as much as 60-70% of their annual calories from carbohydrates (mostly from starchy roots) yet still display robust health and a lack of disease.
     And there are also other tribes that supplement their regular meat eating with various amounts of honey, berries, and nuts at certain times of year, and once again, display almost perfect health on their ancestral diet. It’s important to note that modern-day factory farm animals are a far cry from the wild game that our ancestors ate, so if you want to be truly healthy, you must choose pasture-raised meats and eggs (or wild game) instead of factory farm raised meats and eggs.
     Another characteristic of our ancestors that ate a hunter-gatherer diet (Paleo) is that they always ate the entire animal (unlike modern humans that mostly just eat the muscle meat), without wasting anything, including eating the organs, cartilage, and other collagen-rich parts. This was very important for health, as organ meats are THE most nutrient dense foods on the planet (more nutrient-dense than most veggies), and the collagen protein is important for slowing the aging process, protecting our joint health, and preventing cancer.
     As you can see, the Paleo Diet isn’t necessarily a low-carb diet per se, and it’s not a meat-based diet either, although it can be weighted more heavily in favor of protein and fats in certain cultures. The most natural and healthy diet for humans is an omnivorous diet, and not a plant-based diet, or a meat-based diet per se. The Paleo Diet can be very widely varied and omnivorous for the most part, but the most important thing is that it’s unprocessed, and avoids the worst foods that agriculture brought mankind … refined inflammatory vegetable oils, refined grains (some are worse than others), and sugar.
     The benefits of adopting a Paleo way of eating can be incredible. Many have adopted a more Paleo way of eating and have seen all sorts of health problems disappear, including eliminating acne and other skin problems, digestion problems, improving brain clarity ... and of course, losing a lot of body fat.
     If you want TONS of ideas on how to eat Paleo, but do it in an exciting delicious manner where you enjoy mouth-watering meals and desserts every single day, you MUST try out the Paleo cookbook. You will REALLY enjoy the meals in there, plus, you’ll enjoy the improved energy levels, skin health, digestive health, brain clarity ... and fat loss too.

     Avez-vous déjà entendu parler du « Régime Paléo » ? Pourquoi est-ce que le mot « Paléo » est sur les lèvres de tous les nutritionnistes et experts de santé ?
     C’est simple : parce que c’est le « régime » à la popularité la plus croissante dans le monde en ce moment ... le régime le plus populaire qui n’est PAS une mode. Les célébrités, les chefs, les athlètes d’élite ... et même les experts de la remise en forme … tout le monde est impatient de l’essayer ... et pour une bonne raison ... parce qu’aucun autre régime ou programme d’alimentation ne fournit autant de bénéfices aussi rapidement.
     Simplement en consommant les aliments vrais, naturels et non transformés que consommaient nos ancêtres, vous gagnerez :
- un corps mince et musclé;
- plus d’énergie;
- une peau plus nette;
- une meilleure libido;
- une plus grande clarté mentale;
- une endurance qui dure toute la journée;
- des séances de sport plus efficaces;
et plus encore.
