<p>Six pack abs is the mantra of gyms, fitness publishers, and popular magazines.  Six-Pack Abs by Matt Roberts is just one of many good books on the subject.</p>
<p>It is no wonder there is so much attention to the subject &#8211; when others see six pack abs on you they will consider it sexy.</p>
<h3>Female Six Pack Abs</h3>
<p>The big secret is getting to your six pack abs is not constant exercise of your ab muscles.  Sure you need to exercise but the big thing is: burn off that <strong>belly fat</strong> and pull the curtains back on what you already have.</p>
<h3>Teenage Six Pack Abs</h3>
<p>Again, pull the curtains back and reveal what you already have.  Use  whole body workouts and diet.  Even if you are over weight it doesn&#8217;t have to take forever.  Specific ab exercise, while important are a relatively small part of getting your abs.</p>
<h3>Male Six Pack Abs</h3>
<p>Males, as with women and teens already have decent abs.  Again they are hidden by layers of fat and you must reveal them and then develop them.</p>
<h3>Diet For Six Pack Abs: Cut The Bad Carbs</h3>
<p>You need a great diet to get maximum results.  This is a diet that cuts unhealthy carbs.  These are carbs with high glycemic index.   This means they quickly spike your blood sugar and trigger insulin production.  This is the bodies signal to store fat.</p>
<p>So what are these evil carbs?  White food &#8211; sugar, flour, a lot of dairy, rice, potatoes, and you get the idea.</p>
<p>What are good carbs?  Vegetables like broccoli, green beans, salads.   Combine this with moderate amounts of fruit and you will be set.  Look for fiber rich carbs and you will help yourself to a big health boost.</p>
<p>You also need lean meats, chicken, eggs, in other words quality proteins, again in moderation.</p>
<p>Begin with a good diet, whole body workout at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes or more, remain active during the day and stick to this.  Soon the curtain will pull back on your abs (and other parts of your body) and you will find the abs you are looking for.</p>
<h3>You Tube Six Pack Abs</h3>

<h3><a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Six-Pack-Abs ">How to Get Six Pack Abs</a></h3>

<p>Gastritis, ulcers, IBS, all diseases of modern civilization.  All diseases that are mostly due to the modern diet of convenience.  Great Taste No Pain is a program that can help you eliminate these conditions.</p>
<p>With sweeteners like high fructose corn syrup and our grains stripped of their fiber.  With dairy products perverted and fats removed from everything it is no wonder that our society has an outbreak of digestive problems and obesity.</p>
<p>Great Taste No Pain helps you set the unbalance right again.  Getting on the plan quickly reversed a minor case of acid reflux that I had developed.  Adding in fibers and reducing some of the junk, replacing it with quality fiber rich food has resolved the problem without prescriptions or any strange medicines.</p>
<p>I was able to take care of my Acid Reflux with only the free white paper.  You should check it out, those who follow the advice are helped.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><div class="shr-publisher-155"></div><p>There are actually diet rules out there that are meant to be broken? Yes, recently many dated diet guidelines and myths are up for speculation. You’ve probably heard all these silly rules before, but experts weigh-in on the worthiness of these supposed truisms &#8211; most of which won&#8217;t help you lose weight or make dieting any easier.</p>
<p>10 Food Rules You Can Ignore:</p>
<p>1. Eating at night will pile on the pounds. The total calories you consume over a 24-hour period or over a week is what causes you to gain weight, and when you eat these calories doesn&#8217;t matter.</p>
<p>2. It&#8217;s best to eat at the same times every day. Eat when you&#8217;re hungry, not when the clock says it&#8217;s time to eat.</p>
<p>3. Dieting with a buddy always makes weight loss easier. Common goals may pay off but weight loss is a personal journey.</p>
<p>4. Dietary fat keeps you feeling full longer, so you&#8217;ll eat less. Fat does take longer to digest, but it will not help you control your appetite. Foods likely to fight off hunger the longest are protein foods, followed by carbohydrates, then fats.</p>
<p>5. When you blow your diet, you might as well wait until the next day to get back on track. Nothing could be farther from the truth- always try to get right back on track with your next meal.</p>
<p>6. Refusing food at a party or when visiting is rude. Turning down food that you know will blow your diet is socially acceptable.</p>
<p>7. Skipping a meal every now and then will help you lose. Skipping a meal means you will be so hungry at the next meal that you are likely to overeat. This can also  help lead to a slowdown of your metabolism.</p>
<p>8. Bread is fattening, nuts are fattening, pasta is fattening. Whole-wheat bread/pasta is a great source of nutrients, and it won&#8217;t make you gain weight more than any other food with the same number of calories.</p>
<p>9. All calories are equal. This is somewhat true, however; you&#8217;ll get more nutrients from a 100-calorie apple than from a 100-calorie portion of white bread. Choose healthier items if you are losing weight, or controlling your hunger.</p>
<p>10. If you don&#8217;t clean your plate, you&#8217;re wasting food. If you just don&#8217;t feel right leaving the table until you&#8217;ve cleaned your plate, underestimate your hunger and put less food on your plate to begin with, or you may overeat.</p>
<p>Don’t believe everything you hear! Much of it is just superstition. Now you can tell your friends the real truth. In the end, nutrition experts say, many of the food and dieting rules we hold dear are meant to be broken &#8211; without guilt!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><div class="shr-publisher-143"></div><p>Are there cures for snoring?  You probably already know that snoring possibly means you have sleep apnea and all of the dangerous things that may go with that &#8212; from just being tired all the time to high blood pressure, weight gain, and a host of things.  It&#8217;s bad stuff.</p>
<p>Your doctor will send you for a sleep study that will cost you a lot even if you have good insurance and then it&#8217;s likely that you will get an expensive (even after your insurance pays their part) CPAP machine (<em>continuous positive airway pressure).<br />
</em></p>
<p>Oxygen flow is reduced as your throat muscles relax and your airway is restricted.  These machines help hold the airways open while you sleep by blowing air into your nose.  They help some while others have wasted their money.   Still others do not have access to CPAP  due to the prohibitive costs.</p>
<p>Here is an anti-snoring program &#8211; remember some of the same issues cause snoring also cause sleep apnea, and snoring is a precursor to sleep apnea.  This program uses exercise to strengthen muscles in the throat-neck, mouth, tongue, and nose to eliminate the problem.  There are 24 exercises in the program to naturally and inexpensively solve the problem naturally by strengthening the air passages.  Here is an example of one of the exercises:</p>
<p class="style4" style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Try out this jaw strengthening exercise</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The best way to see how simple these exercises are is to try one out.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">So here&#8217;s an exercise that helps to loosen your jaw &#8211; because tight or clenched jaws are considered one of the leading causes of snoring.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">This exercise takes only a minute, but before you&#8217;re done, you should feel your jaw muscles strengthen and the back of your mouth opening up.</p>
<table border="0" width="80%" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<ol>
<li>Start  by lining up your upper and lower molars and put them together, very lightly.</li>
</ol>
</td>
<td><img src="http://www.productsupplycenter.com/web176570/9_images/body1.jpg" alt="" width="132" height="108" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<ol>
<li>Now imagine your molars are like a hinge (similar to your door). Lower your jaw while keeping your molars together and your lips closed. Open and close your lower jaw about 20 times.See how easy they can be?</li>
</ol>
</td>
<td><img src="http://www.productsupplycenter.com/web176570/9_images/body2.jpg" alt="" width="133" height="134" /></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>This is just<strong> one of the 24 exercises</strong> that have been developed to stop people from snoring. Each exercise is designed to strengthen a specific area &#8211; turning relaxed, weaker muscles that block your airways and flap like a flag into toned and well-controlled muscles.</p>

<p><strong>By <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.earlytorise.com/author/kelley-herring/">Kelley  Herring</a></span></strong></p>
<p>If you’re not getting a good night’s sleep on a regular basis, it may be  having a negative effect not only on your energy levels but also on your  waistline.</p>
<p>In a study of more than 68,000 women over a period of 16 years, Harvard  researchers found that those who got less sleep tended to gain more weight. In  fact, women who slept five hours or less a night were 32 percent more likely to  gain at least 33 pounds during the study period than those who slept seven to  eight hours.</p>
<p>Here are some tips to help you get your full dose of rejuvenating (and  slimming!) sleep:</p>
<p>• Reduce the caffeine in your diet, and don’t drink caffeinated beverages  late in the afternoon or in the evening.</p>
<p>• Beware of <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.earlytorise.com/2008/04/30/caffeine-imposters-can-cost-you-sleep.html">excitotoxins</a></span></strong> that can rob you of sleep. Common excitotoxins include <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.earlytorise.com/2007/10/12/msg-and-obesity.html">MSG</a></span></strong> and <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.earlytorise.com/2007/05/22/13-reasons-to-avoid-aspartame.html">aspartame</a></span></strong> (which you should already be avoiding because of their other health-harming  effects).</p>
<p>• Go easy on the alcohol. While booze initially makes you drowsy, it  interrupts your sleep cycle later.</p>
<p>• Shut down. If you keep a computer and/or TV on in your bedroom, the light  will keep your brain waves in the “awake” state.</p>
<p>• Get cozy. A relaxing cup of herbal tea with chamomile and<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> <a href="http://www.earlytorise.com/2008/04/17/alternative-medicine-for-sleep-part-3-2-more-natural-ways-to-get-your-zs.html" target="_blank">valerian</a></span></strong> helps you ease into sleep.</p>
<p>• Try <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.earlytorise.com/2008/06/25/take-advantage-of-the-world-travelers-secret-to-staying-younger-longer.html">melatonin</a> </span></strong>or L-tryptophan, natural supplements that promote deep, restful  sleep.</p>

<p><strong>By Tim Reynolds, MD</strong></p>
<p>Every day we are bombarded with medical garbage. It comes from all sources —  maybe even your doctor. There are also medical myths that have been passed on  from one generation to the next — unfortunately, no one has looked carefully at  where the information started and whether it is in fact valid or not.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter">
<p><a title="Free Offer" href="http://follett79.bevopub.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-49" src="http://louisvillekarate.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/offer.gif?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="102" /></a></p>
<p><a title="Amazon" href="http://astore.amazon.com/karate80-20" target="_blank"></a>In the following weeks, I would like to explore five of those myths and raise  some questions. Hopefully, you will begin to think about them (and others) more  critically…</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<p>I hate budgets and I hate diets. I think I hate them for the same reason —  they make me want all the things I can’t have even more. Have you ever noticed  that the word DIET is a four letter word and that the first three letters are  DIE?! That’s how I feel about dieting. So many times we go to the doctor and  he/she says “Well you are overweight and you need to start on a diet”.  Unfortunately, many health professionals do not know exactly what this means —  it is also the wrong approach to take to lose weight.</p>
<p>Instead of going on a diet, why not change the way you look at food and the  way you approach your health? Why not change your reality and realize that food  is nutrition that is good for the body as long as it’s the right kind and eaten  in moderation? Food is not the enemy — choosing the wrong foods and overeating  is the enemy.</p>
<p>A major problem started with flawed research that was then capitalized upon  by food manufacturers. In the 1970s and 80s, it was erroneously determined that  our high fat diet was making us all fat.<sup>1</sup> Food manufacturers quickly  caught on and soon every product had a label that said “low fat”. Unfortunately,  we replaced the fat with sugar. As we all ate our low fat diets, the entire  country got fatter.</p>
<p>A variation on the theme is being seen now with carbs. Everyone wants to be  on a low carb diet. So now everything at the grocery store is advertised as “low  carb”. Once again, most people have no idea what this means. There is more than  one type of carbohydrate and not all carbs are bad.</p>
<p>Natural plant fiber is made from carbohydrates. Fruits are carbohydrates but  should not be considered the same as carbohydrates from a doughnut. If we only  look at the carb count, once again we will be led down the wrong path due to  creative advertising.</p>
<div style="float: left; margin: 3px 3px 3px 3px;"><br />
</div>
<p>So what are we to do? How can we figure all this out? I have two simple  recommendations that will help. First get back to nature. I do not mean move to  the mountains (although that does sound nice) — but start eating natural foods.  Think of it this way — if you can’t catch it or pick it, don’t eat it. If you  follow this rule, you can have all the fish, fresh meats, vegetables, and fruits  you want.</p>
<p>In fact, if your diet consisted of just these foods, you would never be fat.  As I write this, I am at a scuba diving resort in Borneo, Malaysia. This island  does not have an overweight person on it. Why? Because they only eat what they  can catch or pick. They have a natural high protein, low carb diet.</p>
<p>Second, if you are going to eat processed foods, always check the label. You  will find protein content in grams, fat in grams, and carbohydrates in grams.  Under carbohydrates it will list sugar in grams. <em>If the grams of sugar are  higher than 10 (8 if you want to be strict), put it back and choose something  else</em>.</p>
<p>You will be amazed at what does and does not have sugar once you start  looking. Remember, it is not simply the fat or carbohydrates — as it turns out,  the problem is the amount of sugar it contains.</p>
<p>Finally, I have an 85/15 rule. If you eat like I just showed you 85% of the  time, you can eat what you like the other 15%. Food is energy — it is good for  you. Choose the right foods and they will keep you healthy. Choose the wrong  foods and they will make you ill. You are in fact what you eat.</p>

<p><strong>Why Cardio Doesn&#8217;t Work for Fat Loss<br />

<p>Cardio exercise is such a strange thing. In theory, it should work<br />
so perfectly well for all men and women, but as anyone who has<br />
tried it knows, the practicality of it just doesn&#8217;t add up.</p>
<p>After all, some men and women do cardio 6 hours, 9 hours, or more per week, and still have belly fat to burn. On the other hand, it works just fine for others.</p>
<p>British researchers wanted to get more insight into this paradox,  																			    and studied 35 overweight men and women, who weren&#8217;t previously  																		      exercising.</p>
<p>(Reference: International Journal of Obesity 32: 177-184, 2008).</p>
<p>Subjects exercised 5 times per week for 12 weeks. That&#8217;s a lot of<br />
exercise, but it helped the subjects lose an average of 8.2 pounds,  																			    which is great &#8211; I was positively surprised by the results.</p>
<p>So cardio will work for some people, however, in my experience, it  																			    works best in young men, who need the help the least!</p>
<p>Back to the study, the variance in fat loss between individuals was  																			    huge. Check this out&#8230;</p>
<p>The best subject lost a staggering 32.3 pounds in 12 weeks, while 																			    the worst subject actually GAINED 3.74 pounds.</p>
<p>The scientists think they know where things went sour. They<br />
classified the subjects into 2 groups, called the &#8220;Compensators&#8221;<br />
and the &#8220;Non-compensators&#8221;.</p>
<p>The Compensators were hungrier, and as a result consumed an extra 																			    268 calories per day, all but wiping out their cardio efforts.</p>
<p>Therefore, the Compensators lost the least amount of weight, and  																			    scientists believe that was due to the huge &#8220;compensatory&#8221; increase  																		      in appetite experienced by this group.</p>
<p>Does your appetite increase when you do slow cardio? If it does,<br />
research shows it will ruin your cardio efforts.</p>
<p>So if your cardio program is not working for you, check your<br />
appetite and calorie intake to see if you are &#8220;compensating&#8221; for<br />
your efforts. If you are, you might be better off using a program<br />
of high-intensity resistance and interval training (i.e. Turbulence 																			    Training) for your weight loss efforts.</p>
<p>As Australian Professor Steve Boucher has shown in research,<br />
interval training increases hormones called catecholamines. And<br />
increased catecholamines can reduce appetite, among other fat-<br />
burning benefits.</p>
<p>In the real world, few people lose 33 pounds after 12 weeks of<br />
cardio. Heck, few even achieve an average weight loss of 8 pounds 																			    with aerobic exercise.</p>
<p>So again, check your appetite, and consider giving high-intensity<br />
exercise a go for your next workout program.</p>
<p>Beat the curse of cardio with high-intensity Turbulence Training.</p>
