It’s simple, how can I lose my big, bouncing belly fast? My brother always comes to tell me about what him and his many ‘girlfriends’ did that day. He ways over 280 lbs with no over hang, I weigh about 220 with a pretty bad over hang, how can I lose it. My allergies have made eating healthy pretty hard, so I can’t eat apples, bananas and carrots. So what should i eat instead of those, what should i drink, and what workouts should I do?

The Mufa Diet Plan is actually very close to a 1200 – 1600 calorie Mediterranean style diet that emphasizes adding foods that are rich in monounsaturated fats. The best health benefit of the MUFA Diet Plan is that when you eat MUFA rich foods you lose “belly fat.”

There are four categories of MUFA rich foods:

Oils include; Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Soybean Oil, Sesame oil, Peanut oil, Canola oil, Walnut oil, Pesto sauce, Safflower oil, Sunflower oil and Flaxseed oil.

Nuts and Seeds include; Peanuts, Walnuts, Pecans, Pistachios, Sunflower seeds, Almonds, , Brazil nuts, Macadamia nuts, Pine Nuts, Roasted Pumpkin Seeds, Smooth & Crunchy Natural Peanut Butter, Sunflower Seed Butter, Tahini and Dry Roasted Cashews, Peanuts, Sunflower Seeds, Hazelnuts, Pecans.

Avocados and Olives really explain themselves.

Dark Chocolate, I am not joking! Finally a diet plan that includes the fantasy food of every dieter and you can lose belly fat while eating it.

MUFA’s are the “good fats” helping to lower LDL & raise HDL cholesterol plus reducing belly fat will in turn help in reducing your risk of Cardiovascular Disease, Metabolic Syndrome, Type 2 Diabetes, Lowering your Blood Pressure, reducing the risk of Parkinson’s Disease & reducing Internal Inflammation when eating MUFAs.

Healthy MUFA fats will help make your dieting much easier, but do be warned if you don’t watch some of these foods like guacamole and nuts you could see a weight gain so remember to portion-control. MUFA rich foods will create a sense of fullness which satisfies your hunger longer.

According to Liz Vaccariello and Cynthia Sass, the authors of Flat Belly Diet series, it is the addition of MUFA rich foods (monounsaturated fat) that is the key to losing belly fat. When eating meals and snacks, include some of these MUFA rich foods they will help in decreasing midsection belly fat that has accumulated in your abdomen.

These two women have written a whole series of books starting with, The Flat Belly Diet, and including: FBD Pocket Guide, FBD Cookbook, FBD Journal and FBD Family Cookbook. You can find Liz and Cynthia’s books by clicking here.

Let’s face it, choosing the right Ephedra Diet Pill, for your new diet can be quite a task to perform.

We want to invest our money wisely, and get the maximum results out of our little fat burning friends.

After the FDA ban the market for Ephedra. Fat Burners seems to be a jungle, with tons of names of new brands with names like Asia Black, Red Hotz XS, Stimerex-ES, and Lipodrene, and copies of old brands. Old classic brands like Xenadrine RFA-1 is replaced with names or copies like Powerdrine and Megadrine RFA-1

And Hydroxycut with Ephedra is replaced with a diet pill called Hydroxyslim.

You feel Confused?

I could figure that out!!

Read this article and follow the 3 golden rules I provide you with, and you will be much more confident in knowing which Ephedra Diet Pill to choose for your diet.

These 3 golden rules are guidelines and a simple and easy way to eliminate some of those mistakes you do not what to do, for your hard earned money.

 

Rule Number One.

Know your Type of Ephedra!

In the old days, we knew that Ephedra or Ephedrine was very much tight up with the 2 ephedra alkaloids Ma Huang and Ephedra Sinica, origins in China, and has been used for thousands of years as medical treatment.

A Fact is that Ephedra grows all over the world, and so far it is only the Ma Huang and Ephedra Sinica, FDA has a ban on. A popular Ephedra is the North American Ephedra Nevadensis, that is been used in a big variety of Fat Burners Today, and are completely safe to use, with no Ban on them.

Here we are talking about Ephedra Diet Pills like Lipodrene, Metabotrol, Green Stinger, Yellow Bullets, and ephBURN 25

Which Amount of Ephedra Should I choose, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, 20 mg, 25 ,27 or even 30 mg?

As a newbie to diet pills with ephedra always choose the mildest one, in your case the 10 mg. or the 12.5 mg like Yellow Cross Ephedr, UR/24 Burnfast

or the 12.5 mg Red Stinger Ephedra Diet Pill

It also depends on your size and how much you weight.

For petit women it is enough with 10 mg. and for big guys that want to shred down and get learn for a competition, would be better of with a 25 or 27 mg. like Green Stinger or Tri-Stack Xtreme

Rule Number Two

Basically what we are looking for is something that works. The Science behind diet pills today is driven by huge commercial interests.

Keep it simple stick with something that Bodybuilders, Fitness Athlete and Dieters and Science by the way, has be proven to work. The ECA Stack.

An ECA Stack is Ephedra, Caffeine and White Willow. The active extract in White Willow bark, is Salicin which is the ingredient in a regular Aspirin, that’s why the A and not a W. It has been proven to work extremely effective combined together.

 

Why?

- Because of Ephedra for its fat burning abilities. By causing a thermogenic effect, raising your body’s temperature and increasing your metabolism in conjunction with the rest of the stack

- Caffeine for raising your alertness, and decreasing your reaction time and for it’s fat burning abilities. Caffeine gets you more energetic.

- White Willow, Salicin or for that matter a regular Aspirin does, is it improves your blood flow by reducing your body’s output of Thombozane a natural chemical that causes the blood to become stickier.

White Willow makes your blood thinner, and that improves your blood’s abilities to carry nutrients to your body and muscles. Another great benefit is that it speeds up your recovery and reduces the lactic acid production in your body, so you are able to have less recovery periods between work outs, and between sets if you lift weights.

A good choice of an ECA Stack Diet Pill could be ECA Xtreme, Tri-Stack Xtreme or Asia Black

Very Important!!

If you response or are allergic to some of the ingredients. I advice you to choose an Ephedra diet pill without the caffeine or White Willow, depending on what you are allergic or response heavy to. Tip!

If you response heavy on Caffeine, by getting shakes for example. Try to leave out the ECA Stack, choose an Ephedra diet pill like Ripped Power, which has all the other good ingredients, but no caffeine and white willow.

Take the recommended dosage and drink a cop of green tea together with it. That way you will still get some of the benefits from caffeine, but in a smaller amount.

Green Tea has proven weight loss abilities, and do not contain so much caffeine as a cop of coffee or Guarana or Kola Nut.

Another thing

You can do is to invest in pure Ephedrine like Vasopro Ephedrine HCL or Pure Ephedrine 25m PE-25. And dose your caffeine and white Willow intake yourself. But not for beginners.

With These 2 rules with have the basics of a god fat burning Ephedra diet pill in order.

- The type of Ephedra
- and the importance of an ECA Stack.

 

Rule number three

Now we are going to take a look at 2 of the most important secondary ingredients especially in the new generation of Ephedra diet pills Hoodia and Yohimbine.

Before we go on with rule number three. We need to take a look at our selves on two areas:

And please be honest to yourself

Men:
How does your belly and love handles look like? And how much candy and chips do you eat every day, or how much do you crave sweet or salty stuff?

Women:
How does your hips looks like, and the area around your gluteus (butt)?

And how are your cravings for food, sweet and salty stuff?

If you have cravings for sweet and salty stuff or a lot of food, for that matter, choose a ephedra diet pill containing Hoodia.

A choice here could be Metabotrol, which is an excellent fat burner, or Phenterdrene which is excellent as well

If your love handles and hips is getting too big, choose and Ephedra Diet pill with Yohimbine.
Asia Black could be your choice here.

Here I have to say that usually you get both Yohimbine and Hoodia in the same product, and not seperated.

If you have problems with both. Choose one with booth Hoodia and Yohimbine.

 

What is Hoodia?

Hoodia believes to be appetite suppressant, and I originally discovered by bushmen in South Africa, that where hunting for days with out food.

Hoodia is a new ingredients added in the new line of Ephedra products out there.

For Personal reasons im a big believer in Hoodia and I have seen many time, it has been helping especially Obese people with craving for sweet of salty stuff. Taking away their appetite and that way promoting a weight loss.

So you can imagine, What Hoodia can do to a Ephedra ECA Stack diet pill.

 

What is Yohimbine?

Yohimbine Is another herb from Africa claims to promote that you get rid of that stubborn fat around your Belly and Love Handles at men, and hips and but for women.

I have tried Yohimbine in a diet pill, only containing Yohimbine, with ok results, a little fat loss, but nothing huge. But better than when I started. But I do believe Yohimbine is a great secondary agent for an Ephedra Diet pill.

Especially for those with much belly and butt fat. Sorry for my expression.

This ends up in my 3 golden rules

1. Know your Ephedra! Nevadensis, is a good legal Choice

2. Always go for an Ephedra Diet Pill That is part of an ECA Stack

3. Take a look at yourself, And choose a fat burner with secondary products like Hoodia or Yohimbine.

With these 3 rules you are much more capable of choosing the product that is right for you.

If you struggle to reduce your belly fat, so that you can uncover those elusive six pack abs, then I’m going to reveal in this article why you haven’t been able to make progress with this area of your fitness.

A couple major problems I see as a fitness professional are that most people who are trying to lose stomach fat:

1. Most people spend way too much of their exercise efforts focusing on cardio based workouts, when in fact, a properly designed, high intensity strength training routine causes a much better hormonal response and metabolic rate increase than cardio based workout programs.

Also, as long as the strength training workout is designed with the right types of full body multi-joint exercises, and with the right types of rest intervals and intensity, you can actually burn as many calories (if not more calories) than with a typical cardio workout.

2. Another problem is that many people still think that they should be spending all of their workout time doing exercises that specifically target the stomach area and obliques. I think you should understand by now that spending all of your time doing exercises targeting the abs doesn’t do much to burn the fat off of your stomach and love handles area.

Again, your time in your workouts could be much better spent by focusing on strategic strength training exercise combinations and full body training that will result in a much better decrease of body fat over time.

3. When it comes to diet, many people try to follow some sort of fad diet that restricts a certain macronutrient too much… like extremely low fat diets, or super low carb diets. The fact is that your body needs all of the macronutrients and food groups to maintain proper balance and build muscle and burn fat most effectively. Trying to eliminate certain food groups or macronutrients in general sets most people up for failure.

The main focus should be on avoiding processed foods, artificial ingredients, trans fats (hydrogenated oils), high fructose corn syrup, and other junk foods, while focusing on a whole-food organic diet full of variety and high nutrient density.

Many times when people get past the fads and gimmick diets and start to eat in a balanced whole food manner, a lot of the problems they were having start to take care of themselves, and the body fat starts to melt off, energy levels increase, and hormones are back in balance.

See below for more of the key secrets to flattening your stomach and bringing out sexy flat abs for life.
