Your Stomach Fat is a Hidden Death Trap
Did you know that the vast majority of people in this day and age have excess abdominal fat? The first thing that most people think of is that their extra belly fat is simply ugly, is covering up their abs from being visible, and makes them self conscious about showing off their body.
However, what most people don’t realize is that excess belly fat in particular, is not only ugly, but is also a dangerous risk factor to your health. Scientific research has clearly determined that although it is unhealthy in general to have excess body fat throughout your body, it is also particularly dangerous to have excess abdominal fat.
There are two types of fat that you have in your abdominal area. The first type that covers up your abs from being visible is called subcutaneous fat and lies directly beneath the skin and on top of the abdominal muscles.
The second type of fat that you have in your abdominal area is called visceral fat, and that lies deeper in the abdomen beneath your muscle and surrounding your organs. Visceral fat also plays a role in giving certain men that “beer gut” appearance where their belly protrudes excessively but at the same time, also feels sort of hard if you push on it.
Both subcutaneous fat and visceral fat in the abdominal area are serious health risk factors, but science has shown that having excessive visceral fat is even more dangerous than subcutaneous fat. Both of them greatly increase the risk your risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, sleep apnea, various forms of cancer, and other degenerative diseases.
Part of the reason visceral fat is particularly dangerous is that it apparently releases more inflammatory molecules into your system on a consistent basis.
If you care about the quality of your life and your loved ones, reducing your excess stomach fat should be one of your TOP priorities! There’s just no way around it. Besides, a side effect of finally getting rid of all of that excessive ugly abdominal fat is that your belly will flatten out, and if you lose enough stomach fat, you will be able to visibly see those elusive six pack abs that everybody desires.
So what gets rid of extra belly fat? Is there actually a LEGITIMATE solution beyond all of the gimmicks and hype that you see in ads and on commercials for “miracle” fat loss products?
The first thing you must understand is that there is absolutely NO quick fix solution. There are no pills or supplements of any sort that will help you lose your belly fat faster. Also, none of the gimmicky ab rollers, rockers, or ab belts will help get rid of abdominal fat either. You can’t spot reduce your belly fat by using any of these worthless contraptions. It simply doesn’t work that way.
The ONLY solution to consistently lose your stomach fat and keep it off for good is to combine a sound nutritious diet full of unprocessed natural foods with a properly designed strategic exercise program that stimulates the necessary hormonal and metabolic response within your body. Both your food intake as well as your training program are important if you are to get this right.
I’ve actually even seen a particular study that divided thousands of participants into a diet-only group and an exercise & diet combined group. While both groups in this study made good progress, the diet-only group lost significantly LESS abdominal fat than the diet & exercise combined group.
Now the important thing to realize is that just any old exercise program will not necessarily do the trick. The majority of people that attempt getting into a good exercise routine are NOT working out effectively enough to really stimulate the loss of stubborn belly fat. I see this all the time at the gym.
Most people will do your typical boring ineffective cardio routines, throw in a little outdated body-part style weight training, and pump away with some crunches and side bends, and think that they are doing something useful for reducing their stomach fat. Then they become frustrated after weeks or months of no results and wonder where they went wrong.
Well, the good news is that I’ve spent over a decade researching this topic, analyzing the science, and applying it “in the trenches” with myself as well as thousands of my clients from all over the world to see what works to really stimulate abdominal fat loss.
The entire solution… all of the nutritional strategies, as well as training sequences, exercise combinations, and more have all been compiled in my Truth About Six Pack Abs Program.
Keep in mind that the point of this whole program is NOT abdominal exercises (that is only a very small portion of it). The main point of this program is showing you the absolute most effective strategies for losing your stubborn belly fat, so you can get rid of that dangerous health risk, as well as get a flatter more defined midsection.
If you follow the guidelines, you WILL lose your stomach fat that has been plaguing you for years. This is not guesswork… it is a proven system that works time and time again for all of my clients on every corner of the globe that actually apply the information I teach. If you apply it, the results will come. It really is that simple.
The only reason most people fail in their fitness goals is that they have good intentions at first to adopt a new lifestyle, yet after a few weeks or months, they abandon their good intentions and slip right back into their old bad habits that gave them the excess body fat in the first place.
I want to help you succeed in finally getting rid of that extra belly fat that is not only UGLY, but also DANGEROUS.
Don’t waste another day allowing that nasty stomach fat to kill your confidence as well as contribute to your risk for MAJOR diseases.
Get the solution to rid yourself for life of this belly fat problem by reading more details about the program below.

I’m writing a novel, read the prologue and tell me that you think? (I made some changes)?
Emorella struggled with the fear threatening to overcome her. She knelt at the cave’s mouth listening to her pounding heart, it seemed to have been throbbing in her throat at the moment. The young woman scanned the forest line, the barrier separating her from her home.
A gust of wind sent her platinum blonde hair in ripples against her porcelain skin. Not too far from where she hid three cloaked creatures searched, moving ever so close to their lost prisoner. In that moment, she was aware they were near. Emorella’s bright blue eyes jerked in their direction. She would meet her fate very soon.
She glared at the bright figure pressed against the night sky, the half crescent moon reminded her of her vulnerability. She was as fragile as an eggshell in this moonlit night. Her will was as tough as steel and her inner sight was as strong as granite rock, but these were Son’s of the Darkness; she stood no chance. Emorella glanced in their direction one last time before taking off.
Knowing the fate of everyone around her was something she learned to shrug off, but this time it was her own fate she was certain of. Emorella knew death lingered in her near future, just as anyone knew the sun would continue to rise and set.
A life spent as a protector was now coming to a close. She would soon be forced to abandoned The Light. This knowledge was unbearable, but how do you beat the war of destiny? It was impossible, she might as well surrender to death. That’s exactly what others of her kind would do, exactly what they would expect of her. But Emorella wasn’t like the others, though she knew her attempt to survive this night was pointless, she had to try.
Her desperation for safety grew as the fierce rain found its way through the tangled green forest. Tonight, nature was her death trap. It bound her like an unfortunate insect caught in a spider’s web. Vines swung down from moss coated trees, intertwined and merging with uplifting roots. The shadowed canopy above blinded her escape as the forest attempted to swallow her every step.
A tremor of uneven wind whistled, announcing the arrival of her enemies. They had caught up to her. A cloaked figure descended from the night’s shadows and grabbed Emorella by the wrist. Letting out an alarmed yelp he sent her crashing into the forest floor. She caught her fall and pushed off the muddy terrain turning to escape when a second cloaked creature stepped in her path. The moonlight revealed the face of this one. His face belonged to the Elitus Curse.
His grey skin was shriveled like a prune clinging to his skeleton. Black eyes glared at her from deep within his skull. The cursed man curled his lips up into a taunting smile. His pointed black teeth left her disgusted. Creatures of the Dark belonged in Hell.
"Leaving so soon?" he said shoving her backwards with an inhuman amount of force. Emorella felt her head clash into a jagged rock and she let out a quiet groan. Sitting up cautiously she cradled her bleeding head in her hands. This was it, she thought. This was the end. The two creatures stepped aside as the leader moved swiftly towards her.
"Give fourth your gift." It’s raspy voice demanded. "Or die."
"I rather welcome death upon me than share anything with your filth" She said, her eyes showing every grain of confidence she could manage.
The Cursed Man grabbed her by the neck and slammed her into a tree."Share it or you become a filthy corpse." He growled, tightening his dirty hand around her fragile throat. "Never." she choked spitting in his face. "You’re a disgrace." He snarled as a sharp pain pierced her stomach.
The creature stepped away allowing her to fall onto her knees grasping the dagger he had plunged into her. Trying to grasp the life she was about to lose. The pain radiated throughout her entire body as she began to choke on her own blood. He then struck her across the face whipping her entire body into the wet forest floor. She could hear the creature’s menacing laughs as they drifted from her body, leaving her to die.
Emorella wasn’t surprised at the outcome of this night, she had been expecting after all. As her focus began to dim and her mind began to numb, pride and honor swam threw every vein in her body. Her hand tightened around the surrounding earth as she struggled to bring oxygen to her searing lungs.
Slowly, she lifted a bloody hand to her chest searching until she found it tucked under her white gown. The necklace had belonged to her family for centuries, it was black jeweled and breathtaking. The emblem was a half crescent moon and sun wound together by thorned vines, the symbol meant so much to the life she was born into.
She clenched it tight in her fist and pulled it from her neck planning to rid of it. Emorella clawed at the earth with her weak fingers and shoved the necklace into the ground, hoping it would be enough.
As thunder roared; echoing throughout the dark forest the bright moon casted it’s light
As thunder roared; echoing throughout the dark forest the bright moon casted it’s light upon the limp body of this beautiful young woman. She lay choking on her last breath and as the glow of life began to escape Emorella’s eyes, far across the forest seventeen year old Elaina Calient was oblivious to the dark world she would soon discover.
I’m not worried about the length.
Thank you for catching those mistakes.
I’ll be sure to fix them.
That would be more of a preface but I understand your suggestion. Yet I cannot make any changes to the length it is important to the rest of the story.
Please, stop commenting about the length. Anything but the length. THANKS.
You dont have to know there’s rain until I let you know there’s rain. The two figures she could not see their faces but the one was lit by the moonlight. Yes you can see the moon if there’s rain? I’m not going to mention the smell of rain, that’s not important and would throw off the flow of the story. The clouds are irrelevant.
I would say thanks but nothing you said helped.
I live in the middle of no where, no street lamps and a quarter of the moon will light up the night. In the forest it’s a bit difficult but the one man must have been in the perfect spot, allowing light to flow down from the forest’s canopy.
She awaits danger because she knows she will die anyway. (Because of her inner sight) She does try to take off but the tangled forest traps her.

You are a very talented author! I love that you used a lot of sensory details. I could really picture the images you projected through your writing. Let me tell you, if you publish this book I would absolutely buy it! Are you done with the novel? If you are not, keep writing, you are amazing!

That was excellent. I hate to nit-pick but I did notice two definite, small, small errors:
In the third paragraph, it says "Son’s of Death." It should be Sons.
In the fifth paragraph, it says "She would soon be forced to abandoned The Light.." I believe it should be abandon.
But forgive me.. For this is really quite good. I would read such a story.

Your prologue is beautifully written. However, it is a bit long. The function of a prologue is to entice the reader to continue reading the book and I am afraid that you give away too much information. I know how difficult it is to cut anything from your work but sometimes you have to. I would recommend making the cut here :
Emorella struggled with the fear threatening to overcome her. She knelt at the cave’s mouth listening to her pounding heart, it seemed to have been throbbing in her throat at the moment. The young woman scanned the forest line, the barrier separating her from her home.
A gust of wind sent her platinum blonde hair in ripples against her porcelain skin. Not too far from where she hid three cloaked creatures searched, moving ever so close to their lost prisoner.

This was very unique, I really enjoyed reading it.
I don’t see anything wrong with the length. There are many prologues as long as 30 pages. This is just perfect. Just because it’s not Meyer’s two page preface doesn’t mean it’s too long. I have read many books and the length is just fine. Sorry, I just had to clear that up.
There are a few grammar mistakes but besides that this is amazing. You are going to become a great author i can tell.

There’s rain but she can see the moon? No mention of clouds,the reader assumes a bright lit night with no actual weather happening till suddenly we’re told there’s rain.
I’d have liked to see more mention of her trying to hide or run, not just stay still with danger approaching.
In the dark can she really see the faces? I’ve been outside at night with a quarter moon, it’s too dark to see more than outlines of people’s heads, not their expressions unless you’ve got city lights helping illuminate the area.
Any way to get some sense of smell going in the story? Rain has a smell, so does mud, trees, etc. You’re missing one of the senses.

I was hesitant to read it, at first, but once i started, I couldn’t stop.
I could almost feel the pain she felt, and I could imagine every moment as clear as crystal.
You are SO talented, and it’s amazing.
