We all look at the new year with wide and bright eyes. We dream of what can be in a year that is still a blank slate. We know we can make things happen in a year that has not yet begun.
The sad thing is that even though we mean well, even though we have the best intentions, we soon realize that all the promises we made ourselves and our loved ones were actually made in a drunken stupor and you have no idea how you are going to accomplish everything that you want.
You realize that when the second week of the new year comes and goes, you somehow lose sight of your goal and you stop trying. You let that resolution go. In fact you are not alone. Studies have shown that up to 90% of all New Years Resolutions are broken before the first month of the year is past.

How to Look Like You Are 20 Again
HOW TO GET THAT 6 PACK STOMACH AND LEAN 20 YEAR OLD BODY WITHOUT HOURS OF BORING WORK OUTS!
There are literally thousands of products and idea out there about how to get a lean and trim waistline. Now first of all, why do we seem so obsessed with having a lean mid-section?
There are a number of good reasons and bad reasons for wanting and having a healthy and lean mid-section.
Lets look at some bad reasons. One reason is that when you have a lean tummy, you must have a low body fat content or a high Body Mass Index or BMI. That usually means that you have to have less than 15% body fat and for most of us that really means less than 10% body fat. Body fat content that low will allow the muscles to pop. But having such a low body fat percentage means you have to eat and you may even need to eat a lot more than you eat now.
Plus a low body fat percentage means that if you are lost in the woods you will have less fat for your body to use so you will need to eat more and more often.
Now for some reasons to HAVE that lean midsection. Well, just like I mention above, you will have a low body fact content which is good for the body. Sure you will need to eat more and more often, but just think, if you love to eat you will get to eat more but not get fat...that is if you eat the right foods.
Having a lean body also means you have a higher metabolism rate which is the rate at which your body burn calories. Now when you have a high motabolism, your body burns more calories and it burns those calories more efficiently. This means you will also have more energy. In fact, if you shed just 10 pounds of body fat, you will be amazed at how much energy you gain. You will find that even without excersise your energy level will shoot through the roof. Your mind will become even focused and you will find you can finish task faster and better.
Believe it or not, even sex is better with a lean tummy. That's right. SEX is a lot better when you are lean and trim. You will have more energy to perform longer. Of course it is partly due to the fact that you just look better.
Test and studies have shown that physical attraction is a huge part of the sexual experience. And women and men have both shown to prefer a tight, strong and lean midsection over other areas of the body. Yes, that mid-section is a big babe and dude magnet. Not to mention, just feeling a good set of abs is a turn on.
Test have also shown that men and women both like to run their hands over a firm and tight stomach. Touch enhances sexual pleasure. So you see a lean mid-section is like an aphordesiac.
Another great reason is posture. A tight and lean stomach will help to support your back and keep your spine in proper alignment. This can minimize, even eliminate lower back pain that so many of us experience especially as we get older. You will stand straighter giving you a look of greater confidence.
And after you have had your day full of task, eating, sex and having people stare admiringly at you, it will be time to dim the lights. Yes, a trim and lean tummy will also help you get a better nights sleep. You will experience a fuller, deeper sleep and you will awaken fully refreshed and ready to tackle your day.
So how does one get a lean mid-section? You probably are thinking that tons and tons of crunches or sit-ups will do the trick. Not so fast. Yes crunches and sit-ups will tone and strengthen your muscles but you wont see them if you keep that layer of fat on top of them.
You need to burn that fat away. You do that by doing simple cardio. Simple cardio could be as easy as increasing the amount you walk. If you increase the number of steps you take daily by 10,000 you can drop a pound of body fat per week with out changing your current diet. Yup, simply walk more every day. Walking also tones the legs and even the feet. So go to the mall, but not to buy anything but to stroll up and and the halls a couple of time. Park farther away from the entrance. Walk to the corner store instead of taking your car.
Also, you could give up fast food one day a week. If you eat out twice a week at a burger joint, cut one of those days out. You could lose up to 2 pounds in a month by doing that.
Get a full 8 hours of sleep every night. Your body needs to repair itself on a daily basis and sleep is the time your body does that at its peak. It also is the time when the body resets the many clocks in your body suck as your fat clock your biological clock, etc. If you disrupt those clocks then your body responds by packing on the pounds or by retaining the pounds. Believe it or not you could actually lose weight by getting a proper nights sleep every night.
Drinking plenty of water. Drop the high calorie drinks and such. Drink 8 glasses of 8 oz of pure water per day. I know that seems hard but it really doesn't have to be. Drinking water helps you feel full for a longer period of time so you don't have the urge to snack. Plus drinking water flushes the body of impurities and fat. Yes, water helps the body rid itself of excess fat. You can up the water intake by cutting back on the soda, juices and coffee that you drink daily. Although a cup or two of coffee per day can actually help you lose weight but make sure you drink the water to help that coffee do its job better.
And finally, watching less TV will help you lose weight. Yes, studies have shown that when you engage the mind it actually uses and burns more calories than just sitting in front of the boob tube vegging out. Plus excersing the mind has its own merits and benefits. Also, when you do things that activate the mind, you eat less. People who watch 8 hours of TV per day can consume 25 percent calories than those who watch only 2 hours per day. People who play board games or do crossword puzzles consume fewer calories than those who read romance novels.
In short, just simple little changes can help you lose the body fat and in the end what you will have to show for it is, lean and strong abs, ready to show off at a moments notice. Espceially when that "hottie" is looking at you from across the room or as they pass you buy on the beach.
One last benefit. A healthy mid-section usually means a healthy heart which means fewer doctor visits and lower health care bills. So you can even save money. What more could you ask for?

How to burn fat
How to Burn Fat and Stay Healthy
from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit
Obesity is the second leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. [1] By becoming lean, strong and healthy in less than 1hr per week.
Steps
- Remember fat is not as important as calories for controlling weight. Just make sure you’re eating healthy monounsaturated and poly-unsaturated fats instead of saturated and Trans fat. The less, the better. You should not be eating more than 20 grams of saturated fat per day.
- Strength training which means weight training in the gym or at home at least 30mins, 2 x per week. Muscle helps speed your metabolism since it requires 50 calories a day just to support a pound of muscle.
- Cut down on processed foods. Stick with all natural foods which have little added preservatives and chemicals. If you can’t find it in nature think twice before you eat it.
- Cardio exercise do interval training on an exercise of your choice eg. running - warm-up 5mins then do 1min fast, 1min slow continously for 20mins.
- Eat more. Yep, you heard right. Instead of the 3 square meals a day, go for 6 micro meals to keep your metabolism geared up to burn and your insulin levels steady.
- Aim to exercise at least 3-4 sessions per week, is beginning, 4-5 sessions per week is making a difference.
- Eat more protein. Your body needs protein to support the muscle it has. Just make sure you’re sticking with quality proteins such as lean meats, fish, and poultry. Whey and Soy Proteins are also good choices. Stay away from meats with high saturated fats.
- Do something fun and always think in terms of physical activity, ask yourself how can I be more active today?
- Control your portions by eating low energy-density foods. Foods such as vegetables and fruits have low energy density which make them less likely to be overeaten. They are also packed with nutrients such as vitamins and minerals which ensure your metabolism has the resources to do its job more efficiently.
- Don't cut out any one food group. You should be consuming carbohydrates, protein, and fat at every meal. This will keep you balanced.
- Drink more H20. Water is a major player in weight control. Besides being a major part of your body, water helps flush metabolic wastes keeping your metabolism charged. It also helps you feel fuller, helping you to eat less. Don't wait until you feel thirsty. Start by drinking at least a half-gallon of water everyday. For active people, move up to a gallon per day.

By consuming at least 30 grams of fiber daily, you will feel fuller than you would by not eating the fiber. Fiber also helps out your health by latching on to LDL cholesterol and flushing it out of your system. Some good sources of fiber include vegetables (with the skin), fruits (with the skin), whole-grain breads, and high fiber cereals such as Kashi and Fiber One. One simple thing to boost fiber intake would be to eat an Orange instead of drinking Orange Juice. It has less calories, more fiber and bound to make you feel more satisfied.
- Eat your complex grains early in the day and then stick with the water rich carbohydrates such as fruit in the evening. This has to do with the way insulin is secreted into the bloodstream.

- Stay away from fast food, or at least don't eat it as often. It is a far healthier option to cook a nice meal at home.

- Eat some fish. Fish, such as salmon, is rich in Omega-3s, which is an Essential Fatty Acid. This helps keep your heart healthy, and keeps the bad fat out. Fatty fish such as salmon, halibut and shellfish help reduce the size of fat cells and help out with fat loss.
- Exercise in the mornings before you eat breakfast if you want to burn fat more effectively. Perhaps go for a mile jog around your neighborhood, or walk the dog. Doing aerobic (fast paced) exercises after you've been fasting for 8 hours will force your body to burn fat instead of calories for energy.

Tips
- Its all about an energy balance, what you consume in with food, must be expended out with exercise if you want to burn fat!
- Be smart about what you eat.
- Be sensible when you exercise.
Warnings
- Make sure you consult a doctor before beginning any type of health plan or exercise regimen.
- When exercising, don't over-exert yourself. Make sure to stop if you really feel like you can't go any longer, breathe deeply, and drink plenty of water. Absolutely stop exercising if you develop a headache or a dry throat; this is a sign of severe dehydration and you should drink some water immediately.
