Th 12 Second Sequence and the Flat Belly Diet

First time here? You may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

They’re everywhere today!  It seems a new year brings new ways to “get-the-body-you-want-fast!”.  Well, that’s a great way to take advantage of millions of people’s resolutions right?

Do they work, are they any good.  Let’s look briegly at them in the news:

The 12 Second Sequence

The 12-Second Sequence™ is a breakthrough new method to lose belly fat with resistance training. It uniquely combines two proven resistance techniques–slow cadence lifting and static contraction–to create my trademark method: Controlled Tension™. My team and I spent years developing this method that dramatically reduces the average workout time. In just twenty minutes, you will get the equivalent of a two-hour workout. How is this possible? Well, Controlled Tension™ fatigues your muscle tissue faster than any other program available; when you create muscle fatigue, you are on your way to building new fat-burning lean muscle tissue, which is critical to sculpting and toning your body–and getting rid of that dreaded belly fat! With the 12-Second Sequence™, you will see your waist shrink in two weeks. Plus, if you commit to the entire 8 weeks of the program, you will see your best body ever.

The Flat Belly Diet

This week’s diet media frenzy was sparked by the appearance of a 55-year-old woman on Good Morning America proclaiming the miracle of the Flat Belly Diet!, created by Prevention magazine’s Editor in Chief Liz Vaccariello and Nutrition Editor Cynthia Sass.Mary Anne Speshok, a resident of Bethlehem, NJ, was selected along with several other dieters to be featured on a segment of Good Morning America on Wednesday. Speshok claims she lost a whopping 46 pounds after following the instructions of the Flat Belly Diet! book and speed walking six days a week. She dropped from a size 16 to a size 8.

The diet’s core principle revolves around the idea of “a MUFA at every meal.” MUFA is a term that stands for monounsaturated fatty acid, so-called “good fats” thought to reduce LDL cholesterol and boost HDL, reducing the risk of heart disease and providing other beneficial effects to the body.

Okay, these are the two methods.  Let’s begin by saying that if you follow ANY plan for 8 weeks, you are guaranteed to see results.  As you may know from what I’ve been saying in this blog, the hard part is not finding a great plan, but the commitment needed to make it work.

It is hard to commit for a month, but if you get past the month you have 90% chances of keeping with the plan.  In 8 weeks, it has become a habit and a part of your life.  Of course, I don’t think they are bad, they may work, but they have nothing special.  The simplest plan work equally fine:  diet and exercise and is something that you can begin doing today without buying the latest fads.
