I had the pleasure of being interviewed recently by a fitness professional from NYC, Certified Personal Trainer, Geovanni Derice. The interview is below and I think you’re going to like it… I reveal some of the hardest hitting strategies for getting rid of that stubborn stomach fat to uncover those flat six pack abs that everyone wants.

“GD: Welcome Mike to our 4-ever-Toned Fitness Journal. For those who do not know you, please tell us a few things about yourself and how you can help our readers with their fitness and health.

MG: Thanks for having me, Geo. Well, to go back a little, I have been heavily involved in fitness and sports for about 17 years now, ever since I was a teenager. Being involved in sports in high school got me interested in strength training and conditioning.

At that point, once I started feeling more energetic, getting stronger, and looking better, I was instantly hooked for life. I’m 33 now and still addicted to the way living a healthy and fit lifestyle makes me feel energetic, confident, strong, and youthful on a daily basis.

I decided earlier in my 20′s that I wanted to make the commitment to help other people experience the excitement of being fit and getting in the best shape of their lives, especially since we’ve reached an epidemic of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, depression, etc. That’s why I became a fitness professional. It just gives me so much satisfaction to help others, who have struggled for years to get in good shape, and show them that it can be done, and it can be fun in the process.

I’ve expanded over the years from just reaching local individuals with personal training, into being able to help people all over the globe achieve their fitness goals with the reach of the internet. I only hope that my passion for fitness inspires people to take action and improve how they look and feel for life.

GD: Now Mike, there’s so many things out there as to what works and what does not work… if you had to pick 3 things that work time and time again to get flat lean abs, what would they be?

MG: The first and most important thing to get control of in order to lose your belly fat and get flat abs is cleaning up your diet. Exercise is important, but your diet is king when it comes to losing body fat so that you can see your abs.

There’s so much confusion these days about what a healthy diet that promotes fat loss really is… after all, we are bombarded by conflicting messages in the media about what is healthy and what is not, and you have all of these gimmicky diet books about low carb, low fat, high protein, vegetarian, fasting, atkins, south beach, liquid diets, and hundreds more. There’s so much conflicting info, that the average consumer doesn’t even know where to start when it comes to eating for fat loss.

The second thing that works time and time again, is to focus on the intensity of your workouts and focus on working the body as a whole in order to get the best metabolic response to lose that stubborn stomach fat.

In order to really get lean, the workouts should have a high intensity, with short rest periods, working the largest muscle groups of the body, instead of trying to isolate specific small muscles like the biceps, triceps, or calves.

For the third thing, let’s talk about actually training the abs specifically. When it comes to training the abs, if you want real results, I always recommend forgetting about the crunches and situps for the most part. They are ok for someone that is really deconditioned, but most people that already have some training under their belt need a much better stimulus for their abs than crunches. Crunches are one of the abs exercises that actually provide the least amount of resistance, and remember that resistance is what develops and tones the muscles.

I provide a ton of great abs exercises in my book, but one of THE highest resistance exercises for the abs, is hanging leg raises (but NOT the way you see most people at the gym doing them). The key to doing these and actually working the hell out of your abs is to curl your pelvis up as you raise your legs. Almost nobody ever does this right. To be honest, the majority of people cannot do this at first, but I provide some strategies in my book as to how to progress to doing these correctly.

GD: What are people doing wrong when it comes to developing the coveted “6 pack abs”?

MG: Well Geo, I know this sounds funny to most people, but the MAIN thing that people are doing wrong to get those flat 6-pack abs is… are you ready for this?

They spend entirely too much time focusing on training their abs! WAY too much time spent on abs exercises. Sounds crazy, but it’s true.

Remember, having a flat and visible six pack of abs is all about getting down to a low body fat percentage. In order to do that, your workouts must focus on stimulating a fat burning hormonal environment in your body, and increasing your metabolic rate. That just does not happen when you focus too much time training a small muscle group like the abs.

Instead, you must use the majority of your time focusing on training the largest muscle groups of the body like the legs, back, and chest. That’s what stimulates your metabolism and the fat burning hormones that will get you truly lean and sporting a flat sixxer!

GD: Which exercises are the top exercises that people need to do if they are to get maximum defintion with their midsection?

MG: When it comes to developing the abs themselves, I again refer to any kinds of hanging abs exercises, as well as some good floor abs exercises like lying leg thrusts (all described and illustrated in my book).

However, maximum definition in the abs and midsection comes from losing bodyfat, and the most effective exercises featured in my program for that goal are various forms of swings and snatches (unique dumbbell or kettlebell exercises that almost nobody ever does in normal gyms), squats, deadlifts, lunges, step-ups, clean & presses, mountain climbers, sprinting, and other full body exercises and calisthenics. If you want great looking flat abs, focus on those instead of focusing so much on training the abs directly!

GD: When it comes to diet Mike, people really have tried millions of ways to get one thing… and that is fat loss. What recommendations have you used to successfully help your clients lose body fat and keep it off?

MG: I have included a fully comprehensive discussion of this topic in my book, which accounts for almost half of the book, but I’ll try to make some nice simple generalizations to get people started on the right path immediately. The most important thing is that your diet is as natural and unprocessed as possible. It almost always comes back to the overprocessing of food that makes it unhealthy, and makes it totally wreck your metabolism and hormone balance in your body.

For example, why eat refined grains, when you can eat whole grains (even better are sprouted grains, as I usually recommend limiting grain foods overall for best results).

Why eat refined sugar, when you can get natural sources of sugar from a high nutrient whole food like fruit. Why eat highly processed, refined, and hydrogenated vegetable oils (these are THE worst thing in the modern diet), when you can eat natural sources of healthy fats like nuts, avocados, fish, eggs, coconut milk, organically raised meat, and so forth.

The point is to not fall for some gimmick like extremely low carbs (although I do believe in a fairly reduced carb intake as that is a big problem for most people), low fat, super high protein, or any other combination that has you focusing on one macronutrient vs. another.

Your body needs all macronutrients to thrive and obtain a variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc. Trying to cut an entire food group out just works against what your body needs. I get into much more detail on this vitally important topic towards losing body fat (especially that stubborn stomach fat) for life in my book.

GD: Thank you very much Mike for sharing with us all of this great information.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this interview and plucked several nuggets of info to get you motivated and started on showing off your flat abs shortly. If you don’t already own a copy, be sure to pick up a copy of my Truth about Six Pack Abs book and discover the entire system I’ve developed for ridding yourself of that extra ab fat for good!

There are quite a number of programs for weight loss and ab toning and firming that do not give you the truth all the time. Some of these programs are full of hype and false promises that are very ineffective. A person who seeks to lose a lot of weight and develop firm abs should look into a Truth about six pack abs review just to get a glimpse that not all promises are intended to be broken. As a matter of fact, these reviews were intended to help you in finding solutions to maintain your body to stay fit and lead you in the right ways to lose weight.

First of all, the Six Pack Abs regimen is designed not just to help you develop those 6 packs but also help in improving your body mass by toning the muscles and reducing unwanted fats. Second, this isn’t a program where you can expect overnight results. Don’t just sit there and relax until the fats melted away. These programs promoting quick results never worked anyway.

The Truth about six pack abs review  is that a lot of people are being misled into thinking that ab exercises are enough to tone and develop those six pack abs. ordinary ab exercises and crunches are not sufficient. These exercises do firm up your abdominal muscles but they don’t help in forming the 6 packs. You’ll need to research more eBooks to discover the routines that will really help in achieving those well formed abs.

The author Mike Geary of the Truth About Six Pack Abs Ebooks, says that in exercising some vital parts of your body you will burn up those excessive fats. In due time, the fats in your midsection will burn off and this will help tone up your abs.

Besides exercising you must learn to eat the proper foods that will assist you in strengthening your body and make you lose all the fats while boosting the 6 pack abs all at the same time. Beware of the exercises recommended by others. They might be using special apparatus to boost the abs. If you do the exercises erroneously you will just end up reinforcing the abs but not form those 6 pack abs. The right exercises must be done to make you lose pounds and develop the abs all together.

The greatest thing to do is read more on the Truth about six pack abs review. You will learn from other people’s point of views. Once you learn from these reviews then now is the time that you apply these tips in enhancing your abs.

Ponte Vedra Beach, FL (PRWEB) November 8, 2006

According to official figures from a 2006 report compiled by The Trust for America’s Health, the adult obesity rate rose from 15 percent in 1980 to 32 percent in 2004. Combine that with the number of Americans who are overweight but not obese, and the figure stands at 64 percent. And the childhood obesity rate more than tripled between 1980 and 2004, from 5 percent to 17 percent.

“I don’t have enough time for exercise.” “I’m too out of shape to workout.” “I don’t know what to do.” “I’m too afraid to ask the fitness instructors.” “The gym is too crowded.” “The health club members are rude.” “I don’t have the willpower.” These are some of the top excuses revealed by a 2004 survey conducted by the American Council on Exercise of San Diego.

“For the general population, excuses are just excuses. They are not valid reasons for poor levels of fitness and health. That being said, I can understand why so many people use these excuses. They just don’t know any better.” said Exercise Physiologist and Fitness Consultant, Joey Atlas. “There is so much fitness and weight loss information out there. It’s hard for people to make sense out of it and see how or if it applies to them.” according to Atlas.

Atlas offers these six tips to put an end to your fitness excuses:

1)    Develop this mindset: Fitness is not a leisure pursuit. It’s an obligation and a means for you to protect the gift of life you have been given.

2)    Create a simple home gym with a little bit of space and a floor mat for core exercises.

3)    Learn compound leg exercises, such as the touch-down, that do not require fitness equipment.

4)    Perform daily flexibility and stretching exercises for increasing energy and injury prevention.

5)    Use the floor mat for abdominal exercises and thigh exercises that provide a smart foundation for a more advanced fitness program.

6)    Incorporate butt exercises and stomach exercises that do not require weights or exercise machines.

“There is so much that can be done with little or no fitness equipment. There is no need to be a member of a health club to be in great shape and healthy.” says Atlas. “I have some of my best workouts on the local playground. A ten-minute ab workout, a quick leg exercise series, a simple core workout and eight minutes of stretching for flexibility will give you a good sweat in less than thirty minutes.”

Joey Atlas, M.S. – Exercise Physiology, is a fitness consumer advocate, professional trainer and fitness writer. He has been in the fitness industry since the late 80′s. Atlas is a contributing writer for OnFitness Magazine. He is the creator of the Home, Office and Travel Fitness DVD series, which is distributed in over 60 countries.

Westchester, NY (PRWEB) June 27, 2008

Dane Whitted, a certified personal trainer in Westchester, New York, recently had his quick exercising tips included in “Full-Speed Fitness: How to achieve more workout in less time,” a feature article published in the official Westchester Magazine Web site. In this feature article, Whitted explains, step by step, how to perform his exercise routines. The article says that these routines include squat thrust, push-up, ball lift and a pull lift.

There are specific steps that one should take in order for the exercise routine to be effective. According to the feature article, for example, in order to perform a squat-thrust with push-up, one should follow these steps: “Squat down to crouch position, placing hands on the floor. Kick out legs into push-up position; do one push-up. Pull legs back underneath body in one motion; feet should also touch hands. Stand up and complete squat, lowering all the way down before coming back up.”

Whitted also says that the above-mentioned squat thrust and push-up combination works “everything – legs, arms, glutes, triceps, shoulders and core – for maximum efficiency.” Each of Whitted’s three featured exercise routines has explanations of the particular exercised body parts for each routine. The other exercise routines are called, according to the feature article, “Full Medicine Ball Lift” and “Modified Pull-Up.”

“These moves knock out several muscles at once,” said Whitted. “Perform ten to twenty reps of each, with a minute’s rest, for three to six cycles.”

About Dane Whitted:

According to the official Ultimate Health Pro Web site, www.ultimatehealthpro.com, Dane Whitted is a certified professional trainer located in Westchester, New York. The official Ultimate Health Pro Web site also says that Whitted has experienced U.S. Army Boot Camp, several years of football practices, several years of track and field, several years of wrestling and other similar activities. According to Whitted’s biography on the official Ultimate Health Pro Web site, Whitted was also in the U.S. Army for five years, and he has experience in training athletes, soldiers, men, women, and children.

Start simple.

I mean, the goal of losing 10 pounds can be daunting.  So before I share these 40 Simple Ways of trimming up the tummy, hear out an opposing message:

Not a single one of these tips has the power, in itself, to shave inches off your belly.  Even when you do a dozen of them every day – by the way, they are simple enough to be able to do that – you will still not see the inches just disappear.  [Fair Warning]

When your saw the word “Easy” in the title of this report, your mind probably told you, “Ha! Who are they joking.”  Your body – yes, your body talks – your body has unknowingly told your mind that it’s HARD to lose belly fat.

Your (weak) mind just agreed with it.  Thus, your initial thought is something like, “Yep, it’s NOT EASY to lose belly fat.”  Yet, you are here because you want to believe it can be done.  That is your true (strong) mind.  And that is precisely what this list of tips is really about.

That’s why every single one of these 40 Tips is ACTUALLY and fantastically easy to do – on purpose.  Let me tell you why.

Each one contributes not just a weight loss benefit but a mindset benefit.  The doing of each one confirms in your mind, as one pebble in a pond, that winning the belly battle is doable.  You will develop a healthy mindset with each little exercise.  You sense progress in yourself, thus you build momentum and confidence to move your body faster toward the goal.

The word “move” is used with double-meaning.  Physically move, of course, is self-evident.  Yet more: to mentally move is the vital link here.  The fact that you are reading this is proof your mental attitude is now engaged in action.

Each tip contributes not just a weight loss benefit but a mindset benefit.  The mental and the physical support each other.  Losing belly fat is as much mental as it is physical.  Do these exercises.  Follow these tips.  They can readily fit into your everyday life.  Thus, they are effective.  By consciously watching your body weight and naturally keeping good health habits, you will improve your mental capacity.  As your mental habits improve your physical habits do, too.

Together.  The battle over belly fat is won as a joint effort, with the mind and the body cooperating.

So, remember: Start simple.  Pick the tips you like.  Begin with a few of them.  Build your physical AND mental capacities as you go.

Now, let’s go lose some belly fat!

40 Easy Exercise Tips to Help Lose Belly Fat:

1.            Do short 10-minute workout sessions. Three times a day. Blocking out 30-minutes for aerobic workout seems impossible at first. So, do it in tablets of time. For example, instead of sipping another cup of coffee in the break room at work, take 10 minutes to walk around the block or up and down a few flights of stairs.

2.            Join a fitness club with flexible hours. Not one with hours that seemed forced. When others there are slightly more fit than you, you feel challenged to extend yourself more. The key to membership is finding a club which has hours that mesh with yours.

3.            Do chores that count for fitness. Burn your calories just by doing everyday chores with vigor. Raking leaves, sweeping the garage, mowing the lawn, washing the car, dusting the house, or running a vacuum, folding laundry.  All count as moderate exercise, particularly, if you do them with gusto.

4.            Park far away and take the stairs. Skip the elevator.  Walk across big parking lots. Just make it a little harder to get where you’re going. Make it a fun thing, too. Enjoy the “getting to your destination point.” Walk between stores, if possible, when doing errands. Research shows that taking 10,000 steps a day improves physical fitness.

5.            Plan a fun weekend activity. Bicycling. Softball. Bowling. Canoeing. Group aerobics class.  Hiking with family.  Could by by yourself. Could be on a team sport. The key: something you totally enjoy.  Mix it up.  Carve out time on your weekends to pursue it.

6.            Make love to your spouse thrice weekly. An hour of sex can burn 500 calories. Sex is great exercise. It’s free and fun, too. It takes energy from both a physical and psychological perspective to do it well.  Sex improves cardiovascular health, boosts self-esteem, and helps you sleep better, all needed to maintain a healthy weight.

7.            Go outdoors with family. Play catch with your son, weed the garden with your wife. Plan a hike together.  Walk the dog.  Visit with a neighbor. A way to relax the mind, to warm up relationships, and to do the work of burning off calories.

8.            Use social gatherings to initiate activities. Group walks provide peer motivation. Board games stimulate fun and laughter (see #38).  Going to coffee shops or shopping together may induce more walking.

9.            Make a daily morning routine. Get up 15 minutes earlier.  Hydrate yourself right away.  Go outside to walk around the block.  The cool morning air stimulates your body, and you will find  your energy level does not slow down again. You are officially awake and ready for the day.

10.          No Dumbbells? Use plastic jugs. Fill them with sand or water for an easy workout. Strength training is an important part of anyone’s fitness routine. Ideally, you should work all your major muscle groups at least two days per week. Experiment with the size and fullness of the bottles until you find a weight that’s right for you.

11.          No Stair-Stepping Machine? Climb stairs. Climb the stairs at home, in apartments, when visiting big buildings. Go up at a quick pace.  Try double steps for leg lifting.  While walking down, hold the abdomen in.

12.          Get a workout partner. Someone to share accountability. A friend raises the excuse bucket.  You help motivate each other to keep a regular workout schedule, because you won’t want to let down your buddy. You can encourage each other and share tips on what works and what doesn’t to make your workouts more effective.

13.          Get a resistance band for arm curls, squats. These are long, wide rubber bands.  Yo can find them at sporting-goods stores. They are inexpensive, portable, and a great way to add strengthening practice to your home workout. They come in different tensions and are used for many different moves.

14.          Do Step-Ups. Step Up aerobics are a great way to burn calories at home.  A 200-pound person can burn 333 calories in 15 minutes. Use a household step stool or even a balcony stair. Make sure it is 4-6 inches high and doesn’t slip when you step on it.

15.          Watch workout videos. Available free online, on Netflix, or from public libraries. Great for motivating yourself in the privacy of your home. You can schedule them on your own time.  You get a professionally led, regimented workout, often with high energy music.  Very motivational to say the least.

16.          When watching TV, do marching or leg lifts during commercial breaks. The good feelings that you get from these small bouts of exercise may encourage you to make room in your day for a longer home-workout routine.

17.          Skipping rope. Have high ceilings or driveways.  Skipping enhances flexibility while improving your reflexes, balance, and posture. It tones your muscles in arms, legs, and abs. It speeds your heart rate like that of a runner, so it requires a lot of energy to maintain a good fitness point.

18.          Join a dance group. Square dancing.  Ballroom dancing. Salsa. Dancing conditions the body, builds stamina, strengthens and tones legs, relieves stress, helps you release toxins via sweating. Provides cardiovascular conditioning. Physical benefits aside, dancing has a way of brightening up a person’s day.

19.          Go to a fitness center. Employers know that a fitness center in the workplace can lower health-care costs and stress at work, while at the same time increase productivity and morale. Many excellent centers exist across the country. They give needed structure in a friendly, supportive environment.  If you’ve never been to one, decide to breakthrough, by finding a friend who does for encouragement.

20.          Wear headphones while doing exercises. Motivational tapes.  Moving music. Energy songs. Though no scientific study outlines the weight loss benefits directly, indirectly it benefits you by keeping your mind up.  Words of inspiration and song can uplift your spirit to keep you motivated to keep moving your body.

21.          Increase in small increments. Start with a low doable number of sit-ups, say.  Do them religiously each day for a week.  After a week, add two.  Do that amount for a week.  Repeat, by adding just a few each new level.  25 weeks later, where will you be?  Wow!  Think of it. Start at doable. Increase weekly. Thus you grow.

22.          Work with a personal trainer. Even a few sessions can be worthwhile. They benefit you by creating a specific exercise routine, giving you proper technique and form, and helping you stay on track to achieve your goals. You get different points of view and new exercises. Though it is a serious commitment of money and time, no less.

23.          Take a break from the gym. Go to a tennis court. Pick up your golf clubs. Go swimming at the local pool. Vary your regimen to juice up your motivational muscles. Don’t settle for a routine. It will wake up your senses and give you new thoughts.

24.          Consume caffeine 45 minutes before your workout. It can make your workouts vigorous, thus burn more calories. Caffeine may reduce your desire to eat.  It stimulates thermo-genesis, one way your body generates heat from digesting food.  Remember though, specialty coffees are high in calories and fat.

25.          Take up yoga. Without the calorie-burning power of aerobics, yoga is a phenomenal way to put you in touch with your body. The buzzword is mindfulness. To change your lifestyle, to change the way you think about food, to get over destructive eating patterns, yoga gives spiritual connection to your body to help make those changes.

26.          Volunteer. Science backs up the idea that volunteering is good for your own physical and mental health.  It’s a benefit of helping your community, the environment, or other worthy causes.  Couple of ideas: Teach intramural sports for youngsters. They’ll get you motivated. Or walk dogs for the animal shelter.

27.          Skate weekly. Ice skating or roller-blading is a fabulous full-body movement for legs, buttocks, abdomen, and back.  To achieve the best results, skate 3 times per week.

28.          Mop the floor. You’ll be moving your shoulders and twisting to your waist and abdomen.  Work the exercise especially with your side and waist.  Some similar movements apply when vacuuming.

29.          Knead your belly. Using massage lotion after bathing, make circles on the area of your belly in a clockwise direction going out from the belly button with two fingers, then back inwards counter-clockwise. Knead your belly, while imagining heat inside the belly area.  This “chi” actually burns or metabolizes your fat away.  Don’t laugh.

30.          Stand and sit up straight. Perfect posture is important for your health. It can instantly make you look 10 pounds lighter and feel confident.  Slouching puts undue strain on your muscles. Keep reminder notes around: “Practice Perfect Posture.”

31.          Do belly dancing. Okay, alone at first.  Your belly button is both sexy and a healthy spot.  Do it a favor.  Face the mirror for technique. Belly dancing gives you improved posture and muscle toning, maintains flexibility, helps prevent lower back problems, tones and firms arms and shoulders, helps with weight loss, reduces stress.

32.          Drink up water. Water increases your metabolism to burn calories 3% faster. Thirst and hunger sensations are triggered together. A slight dehydration initiates thirst, which may be mistaken for hunger, causing you to eat when the body is actually craving fluid. Drinking water prevents overeating at meals.

33.          Listen to your body. Women, especially, train yourself to go to the bathroom. Don’t be so rushed as to ignore your body’s signals.  If you dismiss them, you prep yourself for bloat-inducing constipation. Adhering to the quiet messages from this profound machine called your body will train you to listen when it tells you enough has been eaten, too.

34.          Chew thoroughly. Feel bloated and gassy after eating? When you do not chew your food well, you do not complete digestion, because digestion starts in the mouth not the stomach. When your food is not chewed properly, you do not receive all the nutrients from your food, leaving body cells starved, making you want to eat more.

35.          Eat slowly. While you are slowing down, you might find that you learn to stop eating sooner. You might notice that you are full and don’t need that extra bite.  Besides, you will taste your food, the textures, the flavors, the smells in richer abundance. Eating fast makes you prone to swallow air, which helps develop a potbelly.

36.          Give up the gum. Chewing on gum causes your mouth to produce a steady stream of saliva. This is a waste of energy otherwise used for essential metabolic activities. Most chewing gum is sweetened with aspartame. Long term use of aspartame has been linked with diabetes. Chewing also forces you to swallow more air.

37.          Take supplements of calcium D-glucarate and B-complex. Both vitamins help you excrete estrogen, the hormone which can lead to a smaller middle. Excess estrogen causes the body to retain fat around the waist.

38.          Relax already. Your body under stress produces extra steroids and cortisol, hormones that send fat directly to the midsection.  This affects your digestion and causes constipation.  Tell yourself that 20 minutes of the day belongs to you alone, and then do something that gets your mind off things and is soothing on the body.

39.          Take a walk after lunch. Not immediately.  Let the digestive system work first for about thirty minutes. Walking instantly directs your blood to your limbs and not to your stomach.  This is not good for digestion.  After a short rest, then go for a leisurely stroll.  Not only is it good for your health but also keeps you sharp.

40.          Laugh.  No joke. Laughing increases the heart rate 10 percent to 20 percent. Ten to 15 minutes of laughter could increase energy expenditure by 10 to 40 calories per day, which could translate into about four pounds a year.  Watch a comedy sitcom at night. Laughing also tones the transverse abdominus that helps flatten your midriff.

As you know, none of these 40 Tips by themselves will fundamentally change your game to lose belly fat.  What they do, however, is help you change your lifestyle one step at a time.

It is a mindset shift that takes place.  You still have to learn more, do more, exercise more, and eat better foods.  The little things practiced here begin to add up to a momentum of powerful change.

You have already decided that you will feel better, look better, and do more by reading through these tips.  Now.  Pick one. And do it.  It’s time to gain a mindset momentum and lose some belly fat.

There is a very real concept called information overload.  This is where someone studies a topic for hours gathering as much information as possible.  At times there are contrary points that they learn and all these loose ends of data need to be sorted out in their mind.  What happens at times is that instead of acting on what is learned, the person keeps learning more and more about the topic and in some cases gets more confused on the finer details that many times don’t have just one right answer.

Many people do this with diet and exercise.  They want to figure out the perfect diet and exercise routine before getting started.  The idea is to get maximum results in every single effort that is made.  While this is a good goal, most of the time people who do this never actually get started.

What you need to realize is that you already know plenty of information to lose that first 10 pounds.  While you might not have all the details about building a certain muscle group or know the nutritional benefits of all these different kinds of food yet, you can get started on the first step.

Most people already know that starting an exercise routine, any of them, along with diet where you start eating more natural foods over processed foods will help you get healthier and lose some weight.

If you are finding yourself in a position where you are gaining knowledge on the subject but doing nothing, stop reading and thinking about it.  It’s best to actually start since something like losing weight is a very long process.

After you start, some of the things that you might find to be confusing might not matter anymore.  Personal experience will teach you many things that you might not be able to learn through research alone.
