Did you know that excess abdominal fat is the most dangerous type of fat to have? This is because this is the most active of them all. The fat is packed around your intestines, your liver and heart and interferes with the way those organs work. This fat secretes chemicals and hormones that inhibit proper function of those vital organs. It is also an indicator of Type II diabetes and heart disease.

For women if your waist is more than 35 inches at the belly button and for men if it is more than 40 inches than you lie within the high risk category of heart disease, diabetes, blood pressure and stroke and must lose fat belly.

Logically there are only 2 things that has a direct impact on your body weight;

1) What goes in your body – Your eating habits.
2) What goes out of your body – Your fat burning efforts.
