Belly Fat Basics: The Painful Truth

Let's be honest here: you already know that to get rid of your belly fat you need to do something different than you are already doing now. You either need to eat different food than you are currently eating, or you need to eat less of what you are eating now, or you need to move those abdominal muscles more . . . or a combination of those three.

There is no magic pill or "spare tire cream" that will make it go away without some kind of effort. If that's what you came here looking for, you can leave right now.

If you keep doing what you have always done, you will get the results you've always gotten. That's why for me, personally, the best place to start is with my diet. If I feel better, I will move more and be more motivated. If I exercise a lot (but keep eating like crap) I usually don't see any results. So, that's why there are three programs we recommend on this page to get you started. I won't call them diets because you really can't change the way you eat for a few weeks, drop some starvation pounds and water weight and expect to look trimmer in the long run. You'll just be tired and a little lighter in the wallet.

No, these are all lifestyle changers that will help you eat healthier and move more for life.

First up: The Idiot Proof Diet aka Fat Loss 4 Idiots. Sorry if you are offended by the name but so many people have had success with this that we could care less what the name of it is. Basically, it creates a menu for you online that tells you what to eat and when and it will keep you full, but help you shed the pounds.

Next: Top Secret Fat Loss Secret by Dr. Suzanne Gudakunst . This one is new and pretty radical, but if you have tried everything else and you still have a bloated stomach you can't get rid of, this might be the answer. But be warned: there are people out there who don't like what Dr. Suzanne is saying and they are trying to shut this website down.

Finally: Tom Venuto's "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle". This is a combination diet and exercise plan for those folks who have trimmed down, but still don't have the body they want. Tom's plan helps you push that last mile or so like no other program we are aware of.

The best part about all these plans? You can download any one of them TODAY and if they don't work for you, you can get your money back within 45 days. And you'll know if they work by then, won't you?

Next time, I'll share the trick that's worked the most for me.
