* Tips To a Tighter Tummy *

How many people get envious when confronted with a 'tight' and flat stomach? Doesn't it make you do a double-take?

That can be you. You too can be the envy of family and friends. Over the years people have commented that they want to look like me. Being the modest fellow that I am, I reply, "you want to look better than me."

I will show you how you too can have that fabled six-pack. And it won't be all show either. You will discover that a flat stomach is a side benefit of a healthy lifestyle.

Where Do I Begin?

The first step to having a tight tummy is to make up in your mind that you want to have a tight tummy. Once the mind is made up, the body will follow.

Okay, So Now What Do I Do?

The key to a tight tummy is not tons of sit ups. It is making an adjustment to your eating habits. No, I am not talking about dieting. Diets are worthless.

(1) Your tummy tightening routine will consist of substitution. You will substitute unhealthy eating habits with healthy eating habits. Here are the substitutions you will make:

The foods you eat are crucial to a healthy lifestyle and having a tight tummy.

(2) You will also want to increase the frequency of your meals. Eating 5 to 6 meals a day will keep your metabolism revved up. Keep in mind too that digestion burns calories.

Naturally when you eat this often, you will never get hungry. This means that it is unlikely that your will overeat. This healthy eating plan is chock full of fiber. Fiber will fill you up and improve your body's elimination process.

(3) It has been proven that the one macro nutrient which will satiate (fill you up) the most is protein. Include a source of protein with every meal.

When reducing your body fat levels (which is necessary in order for you to have a tight tummy), it is important that you increase your protein intake. This will help you to target body fat for burning and keep your precious lean body mass (muscle.)

(4) Exercise. Incorporate a light weight lifting program as a part of your healthy lifestyle. Studies have shown that weight lifting will keep your metabolism on after burn. You will be burning calories even when sitting around doing nothing.

Weight training along with a nutritious eating program will normalize your blood pressure and blood sugar levels. You will also drastically reduce your risk of several cancers, diabetes, and heart disease.

Include some waist training movements such as sit ups and crunches.

(5) Supplement with a good multivitamin/mineral and Tonalin CLA (conjugated linoleic acid.) Many studies have shown that CLA will help burn body fat and increase muscle at the same time.

How Long Will This Take?

You don't want to lose any more than 1 to 2 pounds a week. Take your time-this is not a race. Use the mirror and a tape measure to gage your progress.

A scale doesn't give you a good indication when it comes to losing fat. It is possible for your weight to remain the same and still lose fat. This happens when your muscle increases at the same rate you lose body fat.

Ta Daaaa-It's a Brand New You

You will be proud of your efforts when your waistline begins to shrink, and your tummy becomes more toned. And you will not feel deprived at mealtime either. That's why this program is called a healthy lifestyle.

Imagine the feeling you will get when you can't wait until beach weather comes around. You will be able to show off your brand new tight tummy.

I worked for a mid-sized gas utility company in the northeast for 30 years. Under the mistaken idea that I was indispensable and my job secure, I was settled and satisfied.

Little did I know that my bread-and-butter job and the security I felt was soon to be shattered.

Due to mismanagement and executive level shenanigans, the family-owned company was forced to sell. I and many others paid the price with our jobs even though we had nothing to do with the corporate corruption.

There went my livelihood in January of 2005!

I felt betrayed and hurt. I gave that company 30 good years. Thirty years of loyalty and service-the type rarely seen today.

How do you like 'them' apples? Upper management 'screwed-up' and the innocent suffered along with the guilty.

At that point I was determined that I was not going to let anyone control my financial future but me! Now was the perfect opportunity to start my own home-based business.

The internet has made home-based businesses very appealing.

All that you need for a home-based business is a passion and knowledge about something. Find your niche and let it generate income for you.

My niche is nutrition/exercise. What is yours? See my web site Living A Healthy Lifestyle. Your web site can be used to generate supplemental income, make a living, become wealthy (which you can never become working for someone else), or just as a hobby.

I found Sitesell quite by accident last year. I was searching the web for information on creating e books. I found a web site, and within that material was a reference to Sitesell.

Sitesell with its landmark product Site Build It! was just what I was looking for. It provides a complete package for not only building a web site, but hosting it, getting it seen by search engines, SEO (search engine optimization), getting targeted traffic to it, and much, much more.

In other words, Site Build It! does in one package what normally would be done by individual companies, and tons more money.

Here are some of the benefits I enjoy, and which are yours also:
