The Question: What is Dangerous, Ugly, and Annoying?

By Viktor Kuhle


I can't imagine all the answers to this question. It might be your mother-in-law, your boss, your ex, the neighbor's old rusted Citroen 2CV, and yes excess abdominal fat. Well since I don't know much about the other topics I think it best we chat about subcutaneous fat and visceral fat.

Maybe you thought you didn't have much fat, and if that's true congratulations! You are in the 30% minority in the westernized countries. We know fat when we see it on other people and whether it is a person with a medium size belly or an extremely overweight person you know there is a health problem.

Many people refuse to look at their own fat but when it does appear they cover it up. Buy larger size clothes, forget tight fitting shirts or tailored suits. It is ugly and looking at that fat is annoying. Did you ever think that the ugliness of abdominal fat is the lesser of two evils? Yes, the excess fat is unhealthy no matter where in your body it is living. It is especially true of abdominal fat.

If you have read many articles regarding abdominal fat you already know there are two kinds of abdominal fat: subcutaneous and visceral. Excess amounts of either kind is not good for your overall health. Subcutaneous fat in the abdomen lies just below the skin and covers the abdominal muscles. Visceral fat is deeper inside your body and is in the tissues between your internal organs. If you want a live presentation of visceral fat, go to your local watering hole and take a glance at the champion beer drinker. You know...Big Max.

OK, we got the definitions out of the way now for the health message. Excess fat, both kinds, are serious health risks with visceral fat winning the most dangerous award. Both types of fat greatly increase your risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, strokes, various forms of cancer, high blood pressure, and some degenerative diseases.

When your have your annual blood test, you normally get the report on the C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Excess belly fat has frequently been associated with higher level of CRP. The high levels can be indicators of inflammation with the body.

After gaining some perspective on this potential health problem you might believe that there are some effective, quick fix solutions. Unfortunately there are none. You will just spend time and money and be frustrated with poor results. The pills, supplements don't provide long term solutions. The ab exerciser doesn't remove the fat, although in some cases it will strengthen the ab muscles, but the fat will remain. I hope this is not the first time you are hearing this because you might be very discouraged. Don't despair, there are some well well-documented solutions to the problem.

The only solution to consistently lose your abdominal fat and keep it off for good is to combine a sound nutritious diet full of unprocessed natural foods with a properly designed strategic exercise program that stimulates the necessary hormonal and metabolic response within your body. Both your food intake as well as your training program are important if you are to get this right.

I want to help you succeed in finally getting rid of that extra abdominal fat that is not only UGLY, but also DANGEROUS. A lot of people have emailed my support team with questions about whether they need any special equipment for these workouts, if they're too old or too young for this program, if the diet tips will apply to them, etc. I've made a page that should answer all of your questions...
