Diet and Fitness Secrets

Are you looking for some diet and fitness secrets? Well, you're in luck. Because there really are some secrets that people don't know about that prevent them from achieving the success that they are looking for. Instead they spend a lot of time an effort doing things that don't do anything.

Secret number 1. Diet's don't work! That's right, you heard what I said and here's why. Diets are a short term approach to a long term issue called nutrition. The way to approach proper nutrition is armed with some information. Highly processed, manufactured foods will make you fat. There are a billion overweight people in the world just to prove it. To go one step further I'll say that my wife lost 25 pounds in a year without doing anything besides eliminating soft drinks. These foods have all sorts of ingredients that nature never intended we eat. But, nature never had to be concerned with the shelf life of an apple so, if you eat foods that were closer to the way nature intended you will probably start seeing results without even trying.

Secret number 2. You can't spot reduce fat! That's right so that means sit ups are absolutely useless for losing fat. They are fine for building muscle but you won't see it behind your belly.

Secret number 3. Lifting weights is a better fat burning exercise than running! Sure you burn more calories in a half hour of running as opposed to lifting weights but you build muscle by lifting weights and muscle burns fat even after you are home from the gym.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg. If you'd like to know more click here http://www.absnotflab.info
