While it's no secret where fat accumulates in the body... you can see it with your own two eyes, a harder question to answer is where does the fat go when you lose weight?You may have heard (or tried) programs that promise to melt away fat from specific areas of the body, but the evidence (MRI and CT scans) sadly doesn't support these claims. It would be great if fat could simply disappear... but when you understand more about fat cells, you'll see why this just isn't possible.So forget the fads and best-selling diet books; focus instead on long term weight loss that comes as the result of a sensible diet and exercise program in order to see that fat disappear for good.You'll want to choose more healthy, low calorie, non processed foods and increase your activity level on a regular basis in order to see the fat start to slip away.Eat less...

With summer here, I'm sure most of you have fallen prey to the summer fitness neglect program, come on, you know it's true, you've decided to slow down or stop your fitness routine because it's finally here! The nice weather, the back yard BBQ's, the pool parties, landscaping, washing the car, the beach, social gatherings or whatever else you want to call it. I hear it all the time, "I'm not motivated in the summer time" "I'm going to do my walking outside" or "it's summer, I'll do my fitness routine later" "I'm too busy" Sound familiar? Then I hear it in September "Well, now it's time to get back at it" or "I never should have stopped, now i have to lose 10 pounds from the summer" "Help me!" Why not make this summer different? Why not choose to continue to keep it up this time? Why come back and have to start all over again when you don't...

Summers are here - the scorching heat is in full swing, short shorts are out, lemonades are being served and air conditioners are a man's best friend.

I'm here to state the truth on why people aren't getting the results they want when it comes to fat loss.When it down comes to it, people say cardiovascular exercise is the number one thing to fat loss. However, even though a cardiovascular exercise helps with losing fat, the number one key to fat loss is your diet. No matter how many hours you put into training and working out, if your diet isn't good, then you won't receive the results you want.What should I do then?Well, for starters, I would increase my metabolism. If you have high metabolism, you'll be able to burn more energy than you consume. You can increase your metabolism through exercise, eating something small every 2 hours, drinking green tea, eating spicy foods, drinking...
