Body mass index

By: Dr Dave

Too Many people are not aware that transporting extra fat around their waistline carries with it a significant increase in risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes.

A survey of twelve thousand individuals found most had no idea that a fat gut was a sign of an increase of a perilous type of fat around their internal 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, damages your liver, and sets forth how your body breaks down sugar and fat.

Measuring Your Fat Number Risk is Easy
You probably have the most powerful tool available to measure your risk of diabetes and heart disease right at your fingertips - a basic ordinary tape measure.

Your Body Mass Index, and overall level of fitness are not the top indicators of insulin sensitivity, your middle waist size in many cases is much more trustworthy.

Study after study clearly shows that measuring your waist size is one great way to forcast your risk for diabetes.

Measuring your waist size is simple. With a tape measure, determine the distance 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 31 and 36 inches
" Overweight: between 36 and 40 inches
" Obese: over 40 inches

For adult women:
" Ideal waist measurement: between 28 and 33 inches
" Overweight: between 33 and 37 inches
" Obese: over 37 inches

The 2 Keys to Getting Liberating Your Belly Fat

1. Eliminate bleached white sugar and significantly reduce carbohydrates from your daily food intake.

Did you know refined white sugar is more addictive than cocaine? It's one of the most addictive substances you can consume. And the consumption rate has increased dramatically over the last ten years. The average person in America consumes over 100 lbs. of white sugar every year.

Refined sugar is not the only thing you should stay away from, regrettably 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 escalating calorie intake.

Non nutritious 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 if you suffer from 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 decrease your body's chance to make fat. Doctor Directed Weight Loss Plan provides a complete list of metabolism boosting foods as well as glycemic index foods to make your fat loss happen with ease.

2. Exercise Daily With Intensity Exercise. (Takes 7 minutes)

Studies show regular, burst exercise is ultimately important in getting rid of organ fat and keeping it off. Intensity 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 correct exercise. Think like a sprinter not a long distance runner. Don't overdo it when you start, and when done correctly only requires about 7 -12 minutes per day.

There are three significant variables with exercise:
" Time commitment - 7 - 12 minutes
" Frequency - daily
" Speed - think like a sprinter not a long distance runner

If you don't think you're healthy enough to exercise with Intensityexercise; You're wrong. Intensity exercise simply is exercising at full capacity. The definition of full capacity is different for each person.

Key Thought:
Choose your exercise (Doctor Directed Weight Loss Program provides you over 30 exercise videos) and go as fast and hard as you can for 30 - 60 seconds... 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.

When you follow this plan as explained fully in the Doctor Directed 14 Day Weight Loss program, you will reach your fat loss goal with ease. You will easily lose 10 pounds the first 2 weeks and then 1 - 4 pounds per week thereafter.
