I received this e-mail this morning I wanted to share with you guys. It may explain why you can't lose belly fat.
It's a good chuckle for your Monday morning...
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Can't Lose Belly Fat,
How's it goin'! This is a letter from your ol' pal, Belly Fat.
We had a great run this summer, didn't we? Lots of good times, great food, and plain ol' sitting around eating too much.
Well, I'm thinking about sticking around another year if you don't mind. But you might need to get a bigger pair of pants, as I was thinking about expanding my place down here. So do me a favor, avoid that interval training you were thinking of doing.
The last time you did that stuff, I nearly had to look for a new place to live. I felt like the Wicked Witch of the West in the land of Oz. Did you hear me yelling, "Help me, I'm melting!"?
Instead, stick to that slow cardio stuff. Sure I get a little sweaty, and the ol' brain up there thinks it's doing "a real fat burning workout", but it's never enough to melt me outta here. Another thing, keep listening to those experts who say strength training doesn't burn body fat. Since research shows they're wrong, if you added strength training to your program, you'd practically need to throw me a going away party!
After each one of those superset workouts you tried last January it felt like someone lit a match under our collective butt. I was burning up down here! But boy oh boy, I sure was glad you gave that up and went back to just lifting utensils and not dumbells. Otherwise we wouldn't have been able to celebrate another summer together this year.
Sometimes I wonder, what did you ever do in college without me, your trusted belly fat? Back then, you were probably one of those people that couldn't wait to get to the beach to show off your body, unlike these days. Nope, stay in the shade and keep the cover-up clothes on, that's the way to go now. Besides, its a lot closer to the cold beer and the BBQ when you're sitting in the shade avoiding all the fun down on the beach.
Well, it sure was good catching up with you. I'm sure we'll be in touch more often, as long as you stay away from that high intensity interval training crap. Brings a tear to my eye whenever I even think about that workout program and all the belly fat it's burned. Heck, it's fried more fat than a short order cook at a roadside truck stop.
Your friend and spare tire, Belly Fat
PS - Seriously, don't go near that high intensity crap unless you want to see me, Thunder Thighs, Manboobs, Jigg Lee Arm Fat, and Luv Handles pack our bags and hit the highway!
It will be a sad farewell, and you'd be stuck with ripped abs, gorgeous glutes, and toned arms, and you know how much attention those guys get from the opposite sex. Who needs it, I say!
LOL! I got a pretty good laugh out of this. It reminded me of my "The 10 Step Plan To Get Fat" article I did awhile ago. It helps to sometimes add a little humor to this whole "lose belly fat and lose weight" thing!
The above "letter" was from Craig Ballantyne of
Although it does give a good laugh, the point behind it is serious. As you've heard me mention before, if you want to lose belly fat and total body fat, and do so effectively, you're going to have to stop with the long boring cardio.
Doing high intensity interval training, super sets with weight training, etc., will burn off fat a whole lot faster. If you want that "toned" look, this is the type of training you need to do to make it happen.
