Too Many people are not aware that carrying extra fat around their waistline causes a significant increase in risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes. A survey of 12,000 adults determined most had no idea that a fat stomach was a sign of an increase of a hazardous type of fat around their visceral organs. This fat around your internal organs is strongly related with type II diabetes and heart disease, cancer and stroke. It is well documented that visceral fat has a direct correlation to the release of proteins and hormones that cause irritation & inflammation, which in turn damages arteries, affects your liver, and sets forth how your body breaks down sugar and fat. Measuring Your Fat Number Risk is Simple You probably have the most effective tool available to determine your risk of diabetes and heart disease right at your fingertips - a plain ordinary tape measure. Your Body Mass Index, and overall level of fitness are not the best indicators of insulin sensitivity, your mid waist size in many cases is much more reliable. Study after study clearly shows that measuring your waist size is one efficient way to predict your risk for diabetes. Measuring your waist size is simple. With a tape measure, determine the circumference around the smallest area of your stomach below your rib cage and above your belly button. If you're an adult male, these measurements apply to your risk ratio: " Ideal waist measurement: between 30 and 36 inches " Overweight: between 36 and 40 inches " Obese: over 40 inches If you're an adult female, these measurements apply to your risk ratio: " Ideal waist measurement: between 27 and 33 inches " Overweight: between 33 and 37 inches " Obese: over 37 inches The 2 Keys to Getting Rid of Your Belly Fat 1. Eliminate white sugar and drastically reduce carbohydrates from your daily food intake. Did you know refined bleached white sugar is much more addictive than cocaine? It's one of the most addictive substances you can consume. And the consumption rate has risen dramatically over the last ten years. The average person in America consumes over 100 pounds of refined white sugar each year. Refined sugar is not the only thing you should stay away from, sadly the sugar substitutes like Aspartame, NutraSweet and Splenda besides causing additional unhealthy chemical reactions in your body, they also cause you to desire additional carbohydrates escalating your chances of ever increasing calorie intake. Empty caloric foods should also be cut out of your diet; example chips, candy, pretzels, boxed foods. These processed junk foods are metabolized quickly into sugar in your body and should be eliminated from your diet unless you like excess weight, diabetes or high cholesterol. Following a simple high metabolism nutrition plan and foods with a low glycemic index is an easy way to automatically reduce your body's chance to make fat. Doctor Directed provides a complete list of metabolism boosting foods as well as glycemic index foods to make your fat loss easy. 2. Exercise Daily With Metabolism Boosting Exercise. (Takes 7 minutes) Studies show regular, burst exercise is ultimately important in getting rid of organ fat and keeping it off. Burst exercise also reduces the inflammatory actions of visceral fat that are tied to heart disease, cancer and diabetes. The keys to proper exercise to eliminate fat cells are to do the right kind of exercise. Think like a sprinter not a long distance runner. Don't overdo it when you start, and when performed correctly only requires about 7 -12 minutes per day. There are three important variables with exercise: " Length of time - 7 - 12 minutes " Frequency - daily " Intensity - think like a sprinter not a long distance runner If you don't think you're healthy enough to exercise with Burstexercise; You are wrong. Burst exercise simply is exercising at full capacity. The definition of full capacity is different for each person.

Rest or slow down the pace considerably for 60 seconds to 2 min then do it again. Repeat this process 3 - 4 times. You should gradually boost the speed or intensity of your workouts as your body responds. To be effective you must reach what Dr Alan calls "Oxygen Debt" you should be panting for your breath.
