Introduction

U
nwanted belly fat is a problem that almost all of us suffer from during
at least one part of our lives. For many, it is an ongoing problem that
only gets worse as we age.

This is especially true for men as they reach the age of 40 years and discover
that their waistline is increasing in size, even when they do not seem to be
eating all that badly.

By the same token, despite its familiarity in our lives, most of us have little
understanding of the nature of belly fat, the reason it is so difficult to remove,
and the consequences of allowing it to hang around for any length of time.

For men, a very real and troublesome consequence of excess belly fat is slow
emasculation. Your body literally transforms itself from a testosterone-producing
machine to one that prefers to churn out the female hormone estrogen.

Man boobs, loss of sexual appetite and performance, loss of sex appeal, and
loss of self confidence in your ability to even interact with members of the
opposite sex are just a few of the issues that arise when your primary sex
hormone slowly disappears from your body.

In this special report I will be addressing the issue of belly fat and revealing
facts about it that very few people have been exposed to before. I promise you
that by the time you have reached the end of this report you will never again
look at your belly in quite the same way!

So be preparedthe information in this report is surprising, more than a little


shocking, and even (dare I say it) downright gross in parts. But you need to
know this stuff, so I am going to put it all out there and hold nothing back. You
deserve to know the truth.

Of course, I am not going to simply alert you to the facts about belly fat. I also
want to make sure you are able to take action to rid yourself of excess belly fat
if you should need to do so. Although I have written this short guide to help
men see what is really going on with their midsection (and deep within it)
everything I have to say about belly fat is as true for women as it is for men. It
is just that the consequences for men have an extra dimension that only men
who have reached a certain age can truly appreciate.

To this end, I have created a separate, far more detailed, and all-encompassing
program for men which I have called Strong Men Stay Young. As part of this
product, you will find fat burning tips, meals, and workouts to destroy belly
fat. Be sure to look for more information about Strong Men Stay Young at the
end of this special belly fat report.

I hope you enjoy the material that follows. I found the experience of preparing
it to be eye-opening, and I believe that you will find the experience of reading
it to be likewise engaging and just a little unsettling.

The Truth About
Belly Fat

A
t a very superficial level most of us are hyper-aware of our excess body
fat because it creates a sense of body dis-morphia. When we look
into the mirror each day and see that excess body fat that sits on our
waistline and makes our clothes feel tight and uncomfortable, it does more
than make us wonder about what kind of diet we might try next to remove it.

This fat that hangs over our belts, and which gets called all sorts of namespot
belly, spare tire, love handles, beer bellyit acts as a constant reminder that
we are not fully in control of our own body, that, at least on the outside, we
have become someone who we do not recognize as being us. That realization
nibbles away at our core sense of who we are and what we have achieved.

In short, belly fat takes a toll on our mental health, and this is before we have
even begun to consider the far more serious effects on our physical health,
which I am about to touch on now.

One of the problems we face when dealing with belly fat is that we tend to
under-estimate its potential to do us real bodily harm. When we think of a
protruding tummy we tend to imagine that the fat is just sitting underneath
the skin, like fat elsewhere on our body. But stomach fat is very different in its
composition than fat found elsewhere on your body. It is not just unsightly,
spoiling your physical appearance, and making it hard to attract a potential
mate, or secure the confidence of the boss for the new job promotion, belly fat
is now considered to be seriously dangerous to your long term health.

The fat that makes our bellies protrude actually resides inside the body,
underneath the muscles, and it is of a very different kind to the fat that exists
say on your hips, thighs, or the backs of your arms. This latter type of fat is
quite different, and merely sits on top of the muscles just underneath the skin.

The Belly Fat Expos Copyright Carolyn Hansen 5


For many years, doctors have known
that people who are apple-shaped
which is to say they tend to store their
fat around their waisthave a higher
risk for chronic medical conditions than
people whose bodies conform to more of
a pear-shape because they store fat in
their lower bodyon their hips, buttocks
and thighs. But as to the reasons why
this might be the case, well, that was
pretty much a complete mystery.

Today, however, with the advent of medical imaging devices that are able to
unobtrusively peer directly inside our bodies to provide detailed images of
every section of the tissues that make us up, things are changing.

Scientists can now get a better look at the nature of belly fat, thereby opening
up insights into its behavior in regards to our hormone balance and its affect
on overall health.

Going Beneath the Surface of Things


Almost everyone is at least partly familiar with the vital organs that are
mentioned time and again on our favorite medical shows. The heart, the liver,
the kidneys, the spleen, the omentum?

OK, I've just thrown at you an anatomical term that most people will have
never been exposed to before. So do not feel the least bit guilty for having
skipped biology class the day the omentum was discussed, because chances
are your biology teacher overlooked this organ too.

Measuring approximately 14 inches


in length and 10 inches in width, this
layer of fatty tissue that we call the
omentum hangs down like an apron
inside the abdomen.

It is positioned in front of the


intestines but sits underneath the
stomach muscles. The lower edge of
this fatty mass goes down near the
pelvis in the lower abdominal area.
At its upper edge it is attached to the
transverse colon which is located just below the stomach.

The Belly Fat Expos Copyright Carolyn Hansen 6


If you like, you can think of your omentum as your belly fat bag.

For most people, hearing that they have a physical organ in their belly which
is responsible for storing fat is more than a little surprising. How did we get
through science classes without ever managing to hear about it? The short
answer seems to be that it is NOT one of the vital organs, and that life-
threatening conditions have not been thought in the past to be strongly related
to the functioning of this organ.

When something like our pancreas shuts down and stops producing the all
important enzymes we need for daily bodily functioning, we learn about it
in short order. But the omentum is more of a slow motion regulator of bodily
processes, and has never managed to achieve much of the limelight.

The Omentum
A Strange Looking Thing Indeed
When you are lean, and have a healthy (high) ratio of muscle to fat in your
body, your omentum will be quite thin and certainly in no way noticeable to
you. In appearance, the omentum looks a great deal like panty hose with wide
webbing. But as you begin to become overweight, the organ grows larger as
globules of fat fill up the spaces of the webbing.

Also called the lace apron, the omentum drapes over the stomach area, but
when it begins to clog with fat it becomes bunched up and clumped.

It is at this point that an excessively large omentum becomes a ticking time


bomb, releasing dangerous inflammatory chemicals into the bloodstream.
These chemicals harm organs, and tissues in the abdomen, and set the stage
for disease.

Because of its illustrative value, and


because quality images of human
omenta are hard to come across,
reproduced to the right is a photograph
from New Scientist magazine which
shows the omentum from an autopsied
elephant.

You can clearly see the connective


webbed tissue that makes up the organ.

The Belly Fat Expos Copyright Carolyn Hansen 7


The equivalent organ in humans looks very similar, only a lot smaller. Hey, I
warned you that this stuff was kind of gross :)

As one of the main fat reservoirs in the body, the omentum varies greatly in
size depending of how much fat has accumulated within it. When swollen
with deposited fat, the omentum is responsible for that well known pot belly
shape we love to make fun of, and it can be quite firm to the touch, not soft
and marshmallowy like you might expect.

Until recently the omentum had been thought to be relatively inert tissue.

Science is slowly revealing the secrets of the omentum, showing that it is actually
dynamic tissue having many functions other than just the storage of fat.

For example, the omentum provides both protective cushioning and structural
integrity (acts as a kind of glue) for our internal organs. So it can be viewed
as something of a safety net for the bits and pieces that make up the complex
biology of the digestive system. Of course, some people have more protective
cushioning than othersmuch more than they need, and much more than is
healthy for them.

The Omentum Gains Celebrity Status


The Oprah Show
In 2006, while appearing on the Oprah show, Dr. Oz introduced Oprah's
audience to the omentum. At the time the organ was largely unknown to the
general public, so the celebrity status the omentum received overnight was
something of a boon to those interested in helping people to lose weight.

Until that time, belly fat was seen as a relatively acceptable health risk, and
was certainly not considered to be potentially very harmful, the way we now
know it to be.

By introducing the omentum to


the general public, and making it
socially acceptable to discuss health
matters of such importance, Oprah
and Dr. Oz have probably saved
many lives.

In the still from the Oprah Show


episode to the left, Dr. Oz can be
seen holding an enlarged omentum
that was taken from a man who died
of heart disease.

The Belly Fat Expos Copyright Carolyn Hansen 8


He was only 30 to 40 pounds overweight. In contrast, the much smaller omentum
that Oprah is holding came from a person with a healthy body weight.

The Chemistry of Belly Fat


Unfortunately, it turns out that the fat cells inside the omentum do more than
simply act as storage containers for harmless excess fat. A number of powerful
chemicals are produced by cells in the omentum that actively disrupt the
body's metabolism and promote inflammation. This in turn sets the stage for
killer diseases to take root, something that is all too common an occurrence in
our modern day sedentary world.

No matter whether you happen to be male


or female, a consequence of excess belly
fat is the production of excess quantities
of the female hormone estrogen.

For a man, this is not good news.

His manliness will begin to subside as


female hormones override his manly
master hormone testosterone.

This higher than normal level of estrogen in an overweight man will change his
body from one that is firm and muscular, to one that is flabby and soft.

In all likelihood he will feel fatigued, grumpy, and maybe even depressed.

Problems in the bedroom, and


fertility issues, are also likely
to be part and parcel of this
feminization effect.

It goes without saying that this


situation detracts from maximal
health and an enjoyable life.

Nor do women escape their


share of estrogen-induced
female problems.

These range from mildly irritating discomforting problems, to massively


intrusive conditions such as breast cancer.

The Belly Fat Expos Copyright Carolyn Hansen 9


Many women will gain belly fat once they pass the age of 30, and more than
half of all women over the age of 35 years find themselves on a merry-go-
round of hormone imbalances attributed to estrogen overload.

You may already be suffering in silence from one of these estrogen-related


problems because you have been led to believe that your misery is simply a
normal part of the aging process. But what research is showing us is that an
extra large belly will cause its victim to age at a premature and accelerated
rate, and this effect can be even more dangerous to one's health than the risks
associated with cigarette smoking.

More Than Just a Villain?


Despite the fact that a fat-engorged omentum can lead to serious health
consequences, it is important that you not start thinking of your poor old
omentum as an evil organ which ought to be excised from your body (not that
this would even possible to do without lowering your short term survival odds
dramaticallyin short, we are stuck with it).

Your omentum does more than ensure a tight waistband when you over indulge
with food. It is chock-full of important nutrients and hormones that stimulate
growth and repair.

It also contains stem cells, those valuable inherited genetic blueprint or


ancestral cells that get scientists so excited with dreams of one day being
able to grow life-giving body tissues and even entire body organs from them.

The omentum also plays an important role in disease prevention, and contains
germ-fighting cells that attack infections in the abdomen and seal them off so
they can do no harm to the delicate internal organs.

Some experts have referred to the omentum as the policeman of the abdomen.

So, yes, the omentum should not be viewed as your partner in crime when you
hit the refrigerator late at night during your junk food raids. It is far closer to
victim of abuse than villain.

As I have suggested earlier on, this essential organ of ours can be a source of
terrible problems for us when we mistreat it. If blood flow to the omentum is
disrupted, due for example to an injury, the resulting pain and tenderness can
easily be mistaken for appendicitis.

The Belly Fat Expos Copyright Carolyn Hansen 10


The Stress Connection
You probably do not need me to remind you that stress can negatively affect
your health. The good news is that we are very well designed to cope with
acute stress for periods of time, provided that we alternate these with rest and
relaxation. In fact, a little stress is actually healthy for us because it gives the
complex enzymatic systems that control our bodies a workout and this helps
to keep them in top shape.

As with almost all optimized biological systems, the key to long term survival
for each of us is the attainment of a point of balancea dialed back throttle
that is on idle but ready for action at any time.

It is when we allow prolonged


periods of stress to throw off this
delicate balance that problems
can develop.

When stress becomes the norm


in our lives, rather than the
exception, the stress hormones
cortisol and adrenaline build up
to excessive levels and our body
has to find a way to cope with
them. It is at this point that the omentum kicks in, sucking up these circulating
stress hormones like a blotter clearing the system.

On the face of it, this seems like the appropriate action, but it has its
consequences, and they are not all good. The stress hormones stimulate the
omentum to store more fat to dissipate and dilute those same hormones.

The end result is stress stimulates the growth of that pot belly, which further
increases your level of stress, leading to a kind of merry-go-around that is
hard to get off.

If this stress into fat response seems like a poorly-designed element of the
overall architecture of human physiology, it really is not.

The response worked well over a period of hundreds of thousands of generations


of human evolution, increasing the odds that any one individual would be able
to survive stress-filled periods when food was scarce, by accumulating what
fat it could to use at a future date.

The Belly Fat Expos Copyright Carolyn Hansen 11


The only problem now is that our modern day
stresses are not generally borne of food shortages.

So that ancient directive to fill your mouth with


food when stress hits now works against us in
a big way, adding to the growing epidemic of
obesity that we are facing today.

So, yes, while that growing pot belly of yours


might be spoiling your physical appearance, what
it is doing to your insides is far more dangerous.
It is basically poisoning you, and setting you
up for a chronic condition known as metabolic
syndrome. When metabolic syndrome takes root
things begin to go haywire. Hormones, blood
sugars, and fats become unbalanced, and the risk of heart attack, stroke and
other serious diseases increases.

Most people aged between 35 and 45 years are at risk of developing metabolic
syndrome, and the principal means by which this condition can be avoided is
to reduce belly fat.

So what can you do? The first thing would be to assess your current risk.
A simple blood test can tell you a great deal. If you discover that your vital
statistics are outside the normal range (as discussed below) you will know
that it is time to make some changes to your lifestyle, such as to incorporate a
sensible exercise regime and develop healthy eating habits.'

Here are some of the tell-tale signs of metabolic syndrome:


Waist measurement larger than 35 inches for women, and 40 inches for men
Blood pressure higher than 130/85
HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) lower than 40 for women and 50 for men
Triglyceride (blood fat) level higher than 150
Blood sugar higher than 100 after fasting

How the Modern World is Wreaking


Havoc on Your Belly
The life we live today, and the diet that is available to us, has changed
substantially from what could have been expected just a hundred or so years
ago. Daily we are presented with a calorie-rich selection of foods that are
usually within reach twenty four hours a day.

The Belly Fat Expos Copyright Carolyn Hansen 12


The trouble is, that easy access to food (most of it less than healthy for us)
is interfering with the delicate balance of our bodies. Biologically, we are still
geared toward life as it was thousands of years ago. Our genetic blueprint has
not had time to adapt to the large changes in eating habits that have been put
in place over the last century.

Consider some of the ways things have changed, often dramatically:

1. We are not nearly as physically active as our ancestors weretechnology,


motorization, manufacturing, and household appliances of all types have
conspired to rob us of the daily physical activity that kept our metabolisms
primed and ready to burn fat.

2. We live in a fast-paced, hectic world that causes stress-induced illness.


Although we are well equipped to handle fight or flight situational
stress, we are not built to cope with the chronic ongoing stress that many of
us face on a daily basis. It overwhelms our adrenal glands and they never get
a chance to shut off.

3. Our bodies were never meant to ingest the mountain of highly processed
and refined foods that fill our supermarkets. Our food has gone from
natural, whole foods, that were eaten raw or cooked from scratch, to empty,
de-natured non-foods which are void of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, and
which instead are full of chemicals, preservatives, and additives. But the one
thing these empty foods do not lack is calories.

4. Many of the chemicals that enter our bodies come in with our food,
but they also get inside us from (unavoidably) interacting with the
environment, through our skin, our breathing, and our water. There are some
90,000 chemicals approved for use in the world and many of them find a way
into our bodies and slowly destroy our health.

As regards that last point, our bodies are tasked with the monumental job of
trying to keep us from being poisoned at every turn.

As the cleansing pathways become overwhelmed the body will isolate these
toxic substances and do its best to shove them into storage places as far away
from major organs as possible.

One of the more convenient and efficient isolation mechanisms involves the
use of body fat as the storage vehicle. When coping with the task of clearing
toxins from the body, generating fat is an easy solution that gets the short-
term cleanup done fast.

The Belly Fat Expos Copyright Carolyn Hansen 13


The trouble is, it then becomes virtually impossible to lose fat from your body
while eating a diet full of unhealthy processed foods. The body would be
risking doing harm to itself, and our in-built survival mechanisms would not
permit this to proceed very far.

Do you imagine for a moment that our


ancestors ever had to consider dieting to
lose weight?

Adding excessive fatty tissue to our bodies


is a relatively new phenomenon that has
now become even more difficult to deal
with because of the complex interplay
between our bodies and the toxicity of the
environment we live in.

These days most people who have


researched the subject at all know that
you cannot lose weight by dieting, and
that it always comes back on again once
you abandon the diet.

What few people realize is that once you get on that merry-go-round of yo-yo
dieting you predispose yourself to ongoing metabolism and hormonal problems.

These will not only trigger more fat storage but make losing that fat in the
future nearly impossible.

So, having read this far into the report you should now be starting to see that
having a fat-clogged omentum inside your abdominal cavity is not at all good
for your health, never mind your appearance.

The only way to properly measure the size of your omentum is with a CT scan,
which is not a practical solution because of the associated expense.

So we generally have to rely on the evidence that your body shape provides,
and the actual size of your midsection. If you have a protruding tummy and
it feels firm when you push it, and you have an apple-shaped body, then it is
likely that your omentum is storing way more fat than it should be.

Your waist measurement is the simplest way to keep an eye on what is


happening with your midsection, as even a waist measurement of 35 inches
for women and 40 inches for men means that your omentum has swelled to a
thickness of 5 inches and is starting to cause mischief within your body.

The Belly Fat Expos Copyright Carolyn Hansen 14


It will be releasing inflammatory
chemicals that irritate your
blood vessels. This irritation
can turn into tissue damage,
high blood pressure, hardening
of the arteries, and stimulate
high levels of LDL (bad)
cholesterolall of which are
conditions that can lead to life
threatening diseases.

As more is learned about the harmful conditions that a fat-filled omentum has
on your health, experts are practicing caution and recommending thatto
avoid the attendant health risks you stay within a waist measurement of just
32 inches for women and 35 inches for men.

So How do You Shrink Your Omentum?


I'll bet that's the one question that has been on your mind since I introduced
you to the big O, and no, I don't mean Oprah :)

Now, I promised at the beginning that I was going to shed light on what it takes
to destroy your excess belly fat, and that's exactly what I am about to do.

The good news is that if you lose some fat weight the omentum and the fat
around your vital organs, like your heart, liver, and kidneys, will be the first
things to shrink when you start losing the fat.

In addition to that, as you reduce these stores of body fat you will automatically
be reducing the total amount of inflammatory chemicals that are being
deposited into your body. This in turn will lead to a reduction in the levels of
stress-inducing hormones that are causing your body to gain fat weight.

So by now it should be apparent to you, now that you know about the existence
of your omentum, that losing weight is not something to be embarked upon
simply because you want to change your outward appearance.

You should be wanting to lose the weight in large part because of what it will
mean to the health of your internal organs.

Yes, that sounds all very medical, and not the least bit sexy, but understanding
the difference between why you would want to lose weight to look hot, as
opposed to live longer, may just be the difference between actually living
longer or not.

The Belly Fat Expos Copyright Carolyn Hansen 15


You should therefore take encouragement from the fact that reducing all-
over body fat percentage will not only make a difference in the size of your
omentum, but it will have positive health benefits overall.

As an example, you can expect improvements in blood pressure (usually


lowered), lowered blood sugars and blood fats, and more balanced hormonal
levels. These improvements in blood chemistry will begin to take place long
before you see any outward signs of physical weight loss.

This is why a healthy body weight is importantit means much more to


you than a physically smaller belly. It means there will be far fewer harmful
chemicals produced by the fat surrounding your vital organs, chemicals which
will act to hinder their proper functioning.

Is Healthy Eating and Proper Exercise


Enough to Melt Your Internal Fat?
The way to rid yourself of a bigger than it should be belly is actually fairly
straightforward. It should come as no surprise to learn that the way forward
involves lifestyle changes, as this is indeed a lifestyle related disorder.

The key lies with proper exercise and nutrition, and only requires a willingness
to accept that perhaps the time has come to finally get serious and treat your
body with the respect that it deservesafter all, it is the one thing in your life
that has the unique ability to help you reach old age!

In order to destroy the belly fat that caused you to pick up this report in the
first place, the first step is to understand and accept that the human body in
not designed to carry you into old age in an overweight and over fat condition.

To be perfectly blunt our bodies are not even designed to get us to old age.

Evolutionarily speaking, there is only a small advantage to sticking around


beyond the age of about 50 years (and the extra advantage conferred by
sticking around til the age of about 70 is that it gives you just long enough to
help see your grandchildren to adulthood and independence).

So if you want to significantly increase your odds of surviving past the first 50
years, you need to shed the weight and slip into that second half century in the
best possible shape you can manage.

The Belly Fat Expos Copyright Carolyn Hansen 16


The second step you will need to make involves committing to the idea that
some effort will be required to make the necessary changes to your metabolism,
right down at base level. In order to stimulate the rate at which your body
burns fuel (calories) you will need to rebuild and re-tone muscle tissue that
has been weakened, or even lost, to disuse.

You will need this muscle so that you can burn off the excess internal fat.

Avoid the temptation to focus only on abdominal exercises, since these work
only part of the body and you will need to concentrate on total body workouts
in order to get measurable fat loss results.

The bottom line is that only motivation and the willingness to follow a well-
defined exercise and nutrition plan is separating you from the slim trim body
that you now have in your mind's eye. You can lose the belly fat. You do not
have to starve yourself, or do hours of long duration activity. Incidentally,
this low impact cardio-type activity does nothing to keep your muscular
system in good health. What you really need is a proper strength training
exercise program that directly targets the musclesstrengthening them so the
metabolic rate is boosted.

Surprisingly, you will not be required to


spend long hours doing your workout
program. Just 23 sessions each week
with some effort put into it is all it will
take to begin seeing results.

The emphasis of your workouts should


not be on hours of low intensity
activity, it should focus on short
periods of moderate to high intensity
exerciseexactly the kind to make the
changes that are needed to your body,
and ultimately your body weight.

Healthy eating is also a very important part of the belly fat destruction
program. An eating plan that provides your body with all the nutrients it needs,
while only slightly restricting the amount of calories consumed is the way to
go for the best results.

It is important to restrict your intake of processed foods, sugar, and starch,


while having the right balance of quality protein, complex carbohydrates and
healthy fats.

The Belly Fat Expos Copyright Carolyn Hansen 17


It is also important to not rely on the
bathroom scales to measure your
progress. There may not be a lot of
movement or dramatic loss of body
weight as your body composition
(muscle/fat ratio) is improving.

As you gain high density muscle you


will be losing the low density fat, so
the needle on the scales may hardly
budge for the first couple of months
of your new program. But we do know
absolutely for sure that proper exercise is extremely effective in reducing hidden
intra-abdominal fat, and the result will be precious years added to your life if
you stick with the plan.

So if your omentum has gathered some momentum (all pun intended) and you
are keen to wave goodbye to it, the old standbys of exercise and healthy eating
are the fastest and most effective way to regain your former shapeliness. Your
omentum will be forced to give up its excess fat naturally and that belly of
yours will eventually flatten out and disappear for good.

How I Got Into
Shape By Eating
Healthy

I
hope you enjoyed learning about the strange organ inside you known as
your omentum, and how it affects your efforts to rid yourself of belly fat. Of
course, what you have learned today is just the tip of the iceberg when it
comes to putting into action the optimal eating plan and workout routines for
the destruction of belly fat.

As a wrap for this report it seems only fitting that I tell you a little about myself
and how I have used the principles of metabolic exercising and healthy eating
for fat loss to get into shape over the years. Just like you, all I wanted was a
lean, healthy, strong, and shapely body.

Not too much to ask for in your youth, which is when I first became overly
interested in the idea (in fact I became obsessed with it!)

Back in the eighties, when I got started, the fitness experts of the day believed
that to get into good shape one had to starve oneself on low-calorie diets and
do hours of long, slow, repetitive activity.

My friends and I spent many years doing just that. We dieted our socks off. We
walked, jogged, cycled, swam, and attended aerobics classes.

Guess what? Not a lean, firm body in sight. For me, just the same old skinny,
flabby body that measured in at 23 percent body fat. Not much to show for
several years of hard work.

The Turning Point


Eventually, due to burn out and lower body injuries I was told that I would
have to give up what I had been doing for perhaps a year. At that time walking
was an effort. I had shin splints and a stress fracture.

So I did the only thing that seemed left for me to do. I went to the gym and
begun a regimen of strength training.

The Belly Fat Expos Copyright Carolyn Hansen 19


I discovered that when the intense hunger I had become used to (from all the
endurance activity) was no longer an issue, eating better became easier. It
seemed simpler just to eat more protein, eat more often, and get rid of the
junk. And guess what? Within 6 months, body fat was dropping off and a new
firm body shape had begun to emerge. Progress was so fast that within 18
months I found myself on a competitive bodybuilding stage and I went on to
compete over 30 more times.

Since then I have helped hundreds of people (thousands if we count my gym


members) get into better shape. Some of them have even gone on to compete
in body shaping/physique contests themselves.

I consider my years of hands-on personal experience to be far more valuable


than the fitness/personal training qualifications I hold that enable me to work
in the fitness industry. What I have learned about getting into top physical
shape is not taught in any university in the world.

You Can Do It Too


Today my goal is to share what I know with every person who has had trouble
getting into shape and who needs a hand to do it. Because I cannot personally
coach you I have taken the time to write down my system for controlling the
amount of fat on my body, and belly fat in particular. This is just one component
of the system I call Strong Men Stay Young.

This program is ideal for you:


If you have ever struggled to lose weight and watched helplessly as the
unwanted pounds just kept piling on.
If you have tried every fad diet only to end up heavier.
If you do not have time for hours of walking or jogging.
If you wish to shut down the estrogen stream that your belly fat is
producing and which is robbing you of the precious testosterone your
body needs to function properly.
If you are a man who wants to feel MORE like the man you once were!
Any weight loss and muscle development program is only going to benefit you
in the long run if you can stick with it.

That is why I have made an effort to put together a system that requires:
No conventional dieting
No self denial

No sweaty exercise
No willpower

Now that you have discovered, by reading this report, how an enlarged
omentum can lead to metabolic turmoil and the downgrading of your ability
to burn fat the way you once used to be able to do it, you are ready to reverse
the situation and ultimately lose all the weight you want.

It is easy when you know how. And if you would like me to show you the exact
steps and give specific directions to help you shed fat, build back the muscle,
reclaim your waistline, and indeed much of the masculine essence you may
have lost over the years due to the neglect of your body, then you will find
everything you need in my book on how Strong Men Stay Young.

When you allow me to guide you in this weight loss and re-manification journey
you will find the process quite different than anything you have tried before.

This is because we are going to make it about more of everything rather than
less. You will be finally free to feel the energy of a lean and strong body while
enjoying more of everything. More food. More energy. More vitality, strength,
confidence, and quality of life.

Now, doesn't that seem like the right way to go about securing what you really
wanta strong, energetic, and lean body with an enviable flat tummy?
