Hallelujah!

So I've been really trying to hit the gym really hard lately because we are going to the River next week and will be in a bathing suit around people I know for the whole weekend. Even though I work out about 6 days a week as is, I have felt like I needed to step it up and try to lose that layer of pudge that is covering up what surely is a six pack somewhere.

So I bought a couple fitness magazines to try and find some new ab excercises so I could find something more challenging. I found some really cool stuff in those mags and I may post some later but that will have to wait for now.

I read this letter from a reader that asked what supplements if any really help you lose belly fat. You see all these ads on TV for these pills that help you lose belly fat and I'm sure I can't be the only person who's wondered. So the expert answers and says that the only supplement that he knows of that has a proven effect on belly fat loss is fish oil. He said to take at least 1000 mg per day!

So I thought I might try that and went out to Wal-Mart to look at Omega 3 fish oil of all things. So I read the bottle and it says that it's indicated for heart health. Period. No mention of anything else. But I bought it anyhow. I also noticed a jar right above it that was Cayenne Fruit Capsules which is supposed to support metabolism. So I thought what the heck! Worst case scenario I'll shit myself for a day or two! LOL

So I've been taking the Fish Oil and Cayenne for a week now and I swear that I am noticing a rapid change in my body in just one week. I haven't weighed because I hate the scales, but I would guess that I for sure have lost pounds but definitely inches.

So I googled Fish Oil because I Google EVERYTHING and was reading this bodybuilding article that said that studies have shown 26% differences in fat loss with Omega 3 Fish Oil versus without. Basically it says that the Fish Oil causes your body to burn more calories and fat. And the side effect is weight loss in addition to the heart health benefits that it is intended for.

So how cool is that? A weight loss aid that is actually healthy for you? This is something that a person could take for the rest of their life and only see healthy benefits. AWESOME!

Nuff Said!

And for those of you who are wondering about the Cayenne (because I know you are wondering), NO! My ass has not been on fire! Seriously! No ice cream cone required!
