HIIT is your best choice for burning off Belly Fat

In study 1, did group 3 really performed HIIT 5 times a week? In the real world, you likely can't perform it more than 3 times a week at maximum intensity because you would be too tired and slow down. Even if you can, you may overtrain.
For low intensity cardio, what was the heart rate, and did they exercise until they can carry on breathless continuously?
I've read articles stating that cardio (75% HR) was more effective than resistance training or both combined. Resistance training had no reduction
It would be interesting to know if HIIT or cardio has a bigger preferential target for visceral fat. Incorporating HIIT certainly is better for overall reduction of body fat than steady state cardio.

Gotta love HIIT. First time I lose weight was by doing kung-fu 3 times a week - those were certainly HIIT classes. Great workouts. Most competitive martial arts provide a good workout (non-competitive guys often take it a bit too easy ....)

regarding the picture with the swimmer.. are you trying to say it's the same guy in the left, the one with 100 bags of chips around his waist?:)) come one... HIIT might work, but that's unvelievable

Hi Doug: Really like your succinct presentation of the study results and love that you are getting the word out. Will you be doing a post that focuses on the second "I" in HIIT as you do not mention the Interval factor much. Keep spreading the message and not the middles! Ahh haa

that picture is fake, right? no one can believe that it's the same guy, before and after, not even me, although i've seen some pretty good results with some guys, even akebono:P

How many times have you heard it mentioned that sugar causes cancer, that cancer patients should avoid sugar, or that sugar is the favorite food of cancer cells? The truth is, this goes beyond mere hearsay or traditional knowledge; there is actually a large volume of scientific evidence available which shows the link between sugar and increased cancer risk.
A study team at Duke University School of Medicine has suggested a possible reason why cancer cells like sugar so much.
Basically, according to the researchers, in healthy cells, certain growth factors regulate their metabolism and cell survival. When these growth factors are removed, there is loss of glucose uptake and metabolism, and the cells die.
However, they found that cancer cells are able to maintain glucose metabolism by using a protein called "Akt", which promotes glucose metabolism. This prevents cell death, even when the growth factors are not available.
Refined sugar is devoid of important nutrients, causes obesity, causes cavities, and also increases cancer risk. If you or a loved one are battling cancer, or are serious about avoiding the disease, you may want to take note of your intake of this common yet dangerous substance.

Amen brother. That's all I have to say about that.
