One of the most common questions I get is “how to lose belly fat?“. Belly fat is actually the most dangerous type of fat – besides aesthetics, large waist lines are indicators of –disease-disease-disease.

Did You Know That Not All Belly Fat Is The Same?

The most harmful abdominal fat, the hardest one to get rid of. By cleansing your liver, helping normal bile flow, reducing fat absorption into the fat cells, regulating your lipid and cholesterol metabolism. Prevents your blood vessels from forming atherosclerotic plaques.

This visceral fat in your middle makes toxins that affect the way your body works, says James Edwards, MD, president of the American Diabetes Association. Among them are chemicals called cytokines that boost your chances of heart disease and make your body less sensitive to insulin, which can bring on diabetes.

Cytokines also cause inflammation, which can lead to certain cancers, says Eric Jacobs, PhD, a researcher at the American Cancer Society. In recent years, he says, scientists have uncovered links between belly fat and cancers of the colon, esophagus, and pancreas.

The Hidden Health Risk Continued...

How can you tell if your belly fat is putting your health at risk? That part is easy. No special blood tests or scans are required. All you need is a tape measure. The size of your waist says it all.
The higher the number, the greater the danger your tummy poses to your health.

• For women, a waist measurement of 34 inches + more is cause for concern.
• For men, a waist measurement of 38 inches + more could spell trouble.

“If you have to move to a bigger pants size, even if your weight is considered normal for your height, or even if you haven’t noticed much weight gain, that’s an important sign it’s time to start watching your abdominal area."

“If your waist has already reached the “+“ size, you may want to consider dropping a couple of pounds from your abdominal area. Proper supplement,targeting specifically belly fat can be very effective.

A Tough Change To Make

Most of the time, that’s easier said than done. Is it worth the effort? Dagogo-Jack points to several studies that he says show the “spectacular” effects of even modest weight loss in preventing the onset of diabetes and other problems.

That should be great news for the 54 million people who have the high blood sugar levels that put them in the prediabetes category. Once you have it, type 2 diabetes is likely to follow within a decade.

Dropping belly fat can be a challenge. If you feel your efforts aren’t giving you the results you want...

...Here Are 5 Steps To Change Things Up:

1. Skip the fruit juice. It might seem like a healthy swap for sugary colas, but it’s not. All the fat-reducing fiber in the fruit has been removed, leaving only the pure fruit sugars that go straight to your waistline.

2. Eat your veggies. They should fill up at least half your plate, especially at your biggest meal. Choose more nonstarchy varieties (think leafy greens, broccoli, and beans) than their carb-filled kin (potatoes, corn, and carrots).

3. Choose proper supplement. Claims vs. reality. Your choice should focus on product that is formulated with abdominal fat in mind. Ingredients such as Caralluma Fimbriata, Lychee Exctract, Green Tea, Irvingia gabonensis are those which have been proven by clinical studies as the most effective in the fight for the waistline. One out of few products we liked, the one combining all of the above is Slimfy’s - Stage3. All natural, safe and gluten fee.

4. Go natural. Processed foods are not your friends. When you’re in a rush, it’s easy to overlook the fact that packaged foods are often loaded with trans fats, sugar, and salt -- all guaranteed to boost belly fat.

5. Keep your cool. The stress hormone cortisol can override your diet and workouts. When it goes through your body, fat deposits relocate to your belly area. Exercise and meditation can both be great ways to dial down your stress to nontoxic levels.

At 26, Sunita Verma is looking fairer than she ever was. She looks so fair now that even her own mother dint recognize her when she met her after a month of using this trick! Her friends and family have all tried to discover her secret: is it chemical peeling, expensive facials, or some home remedy?

The 26 year-old mother is a perfect example of how a little smart-thinking and ingenuity can help you avoid unnecessary health risks and save you thousands of rupees in expensive chemical peels and facials.

Like most women, Sunita didn't have the extra cash to try out every celebrity-endorsed Skin-Whitening "miracle cream" out there, let alone splurge on expensive elective medical procedures, like chemical peeling or laser treatment.

Before trying this simple trick, she admits she used to spend almost an hour every day on an extensive skincare regimen consisting of over 6 different products, with seriously disappointing results. Each product made big claims promising fairer skin; and while Sunita followed all their usage instructions to the letter, she saw no real results.

Frustrated and let down, she considered going so far as to take out a substantial loan for getting Skin Peeling done, and even contemplated a highly risky and very expensive plastic surgery procedure. But the high cost (ranging anywhere from 15000 - 40,000+) and the horror stories of unfixable botched procedures convinced her that cosmetic treatments were not the solution she was looking for. She was determined to find a safe and affordable Skin-Whitening solution that would give her real results and not leave her digging her way out of a huge financial debt.

"Doctors Call It - The Miracle Skin-Whitening Breakthrough - 
Because It Works!"

Sunita's Solution:

After a year of doing thorough research and speaking to other women about their own skincare habits, she learned of a product that was yielding real results and helping women get 5-6 shades fairer: Radyance Skin Brightening Serum

While Radyace is proven to be effective on its own, one night, Sunita made an accidental discovery that would revolutionize the whole skincare industry: she combined it will olive oil.

After only a few days of using both together in her daily skin routine, she saw noticeable results in the mirror. After just two weeks of using Radyance Skin Brightening Serummixed with olive oil, the proof was staring her right in the face: this was giving her realresults.

Using the two together, Sunita's results were noticeably better than what you'd find after chemical peeling for 15,000 or more. This combination removed virtually 90% of all her dark spots. It made her face and neck fairer, removing all signs of dark, ugly, and dehydrated skin. Sunita was able to see these dramatic Skin-Whitening results simply by using Radyance for only 14 days.

Her friends, husband, and family were all shocked. They were convinced she'd been secretly getting chemical peels, because her skin looked 5-6 shades fairer almost overnight! Soon, word got around as her friends starting using Sunita's method, and not long after, her easy, mix of Radyance and Olive Oil was featured on the popular news tv shows!

Sunita is now one of hundreds of women that share the same incredible story. Using this method, she effectively got 5 shades fairer. It's changed her life and completely astonished everyone around her, even total strangers!

How does it Work?

Through her research, Sunita discovered that the real secret to cell revival and skin rejuvenation are two key ingredients:

1. Vitamin C
2. Hyaluronic Acid

These are both natural ingredients that work together to brighten skin at the cellular level below the surface of the skin which is why they're so effective.

Vitamin C is the key to maintaining healthy, youthful skin. It's a powerful antioxidant that slows the rate of free-radical damage, which causes skin's dryness, hyper pigmentation, and dark spots. It helps combat and even reverse hyper pigmentation of your skin. Applying Vitamin C to the skin topically is up to 20 times more effectivethan taking it orally.

Doctors call Vitamin C "the secret to becoming fairer".

Hyaluronic Acid works by binding to moisture. It can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it an excellent natural skin plumper. Hyaluronic acid helps your skin repair and regenerate itself after suffering from dryness, environmental stresses, or irritation.

Celebrities like Deepika Padukone, Bipasha Basu, and Priyanka Chopra have all admitted to using Radyance Skin Brightening Serum to get fairer.

A new electric car company has revved up Apple Car conspiracy theorist who think the mysterious automaker might actually be a shell company for Apple’s automotive ambitions.

Faraday Future has already pulled in $1 billion in investments and is stocking up on top Tesla talent (just like Apple), but little else is known about the new company that current boasts over 400 employees with plans to add 100 more of the best automotive engineers and designers in the world before the end of the year.

Take a look at the rendering of their future car:

Faraday’s roaster includes former Tesla employees who have served as director of vehicle & chassis engineering, director of manufacturing, and vice president of supply chain. They also sniped BMW’s founding member and lead designer of the i3 and i8 concepts.

Launching a secret shell company to covertly promote a new product isn’t Apple’s style, so I highly doubt there’s a connection. In fact, the LA Times claims the Faraday brand is tied to Chinese billion Jia Yueting, who’s looking to back up his huge ambitions with the $7 billion he made founding the company Leshi Internet Information & Technology.

A vendor working with the company in Gardena told The Times that Faraday hasn’t made any secret of its origin or its plans.

“They told us right off that this is China’s response to Tesla,” said the vendor, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak for Faraday.

It looks like Faraday Future is definitely not related to Apple in any way, but we expect to see a lot more from them. The company is positioning itself to be Tesla and Apple’s biggest rivals according to senior VP/company spokesman Nick Sampson who say Faraday Future plans to put a rival to the Tesla Model S on the road by 2017.

Google and Facebook have significantly expanded their rival plans to develop unmanned aircraft that can provide broadband internet access from high above the Earth, the Guardian has learned.

Both Facebook and Alphabet, Google’s parent company, have quietly registered new drone designs with the US Federal Aviation Administration.

Meanwhile, Alphabet is also planning secret high-altitude airborne operations at Spaceport America in New Mexico, which has been largely unused since Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo craft crashed in December 2014, and an American subsidiary of Facebook has taken delivery of a prototype solar-powered drone.

Much of the world’s attention is focused on small drones, such as Alphabet’s Project Wing or Amazon’s Prime Air delivery drones, but Google and Facebook are also working on much larger drones that can operate far above passenger jets, and even as high as 90,000 feet.

Flying for weeks or months at a time, such drones could theoretically provide city-sized areas with high-speed internet access, particularly in remote or undeveloped parts of the world.

“We’re working on ways to use drones and satellites to connect the billion people who don’t live in range of existing wireless networks,” said Facebook’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, in July. Last year, Facebook set up an initiative with Nokia, Samsung and others called Internet.org to provide some online access to the two-thirds of the world lacking a reliable connection.

Drones should be banned from private use, says Google's Eric Schmidt

Both companies would benefit from an expanded internet network which would help them reach new users, and in turn develop new advertising markets.

Over the summer, Facebook revealed a huge solar-powered drone called Aquila with a wingspan of 42 metres capable of operating at up to 90,000ft, sharing internet access with radios and lasers. Aquila was developed by Facebook in the UK. The drone is made from carbon fibre that is about three times stronger than steel and lighter than aluminium. Yael Maguire, head of Facebook’s Connectivity Lab, said in July that the Aquila would weigh around 400kg, allowing it remain aloft for 90 days at a time.

The Guardian has learned that the first and only Aquila prototype arrived in the US in late September, for flight testing later this year. However, registration papers with the FAA show that the aircraft now has a maximum takeoff weight of over 500kg. They also indicate that the Aquila was not delivered to Facebook or Internet.org but instead sold to a recently formed Facebook subsidiary called FCL Tech Inc, for $2m.

“Weight is always your biggest enemy,” said Missy Cummings, professor of aeronautics at Duke University, referring to a traditional challenge of designing aircraft. “Facebook and Google are starting to find out what Boeing and Lockheed Martin have known all along, which is that it is really hard to design these systems.”

FCL Tech Inc also bought another, much smaller drone from Facebook UK in August for $75,000. The SM5 drone has four electric motors like the Aquila but weighs just 12.5kg, suggesting that it may be a scale-model of the Aquila or even intended for another purpose altogether. FCL Tech Inc has been testing digital transmitters that support broadband connectivity at an old navy base near San Francisco, and experimenting with TV “white space” spectrum near Facebook’s headquarters.

Google also recently registered two new drones with the FAA, codenamed M2 and B3. While there has been speculation that they might be part of Alphabet’s own plans to offer internet access from on high, FAA documents seen by the Guardian show that the drones are tiny. The M2 weighs 2.25kg and the B3 just 900g, about twice as much as a soccer ball.

If people want to fly tacos around on a drone, that’s totally possible

These would be far too small to reach high altitudes but could be used as part of the company’s Project Wing drone delivery project, according to Cummings. “A 900g drone is not going to carry a LCD TV but it could carry small things,” she said. “If people want to fly tacos around on a drone, that’s totally possible.”

Alphabet is still pushing ahead with its internet drone plans though. Last spring, Google acquired Titan Aerospace, a New Mexico startup that had already tested and flown high-altitude solar-powered drones with wingspans of up to 50 metres. Following a crash of one experimental drone in May, Alphabet announced that it was relocating Titan Aerospace to Silicon Valley to join its growing Google Access team. Google Access also includes Project Loon, a plan to deliver wireless internet using unpowered balloons floating through the stratosphere.

However, the Guardian has learned from documents filed with the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) that Google is now planning a return to New Mexico, where it will conduct high-altitude tests at Spaceport America. The tests, which could last until March next year, will involve relaying data between ground stations using aircraft flying at up to 25,000ft, operating on the same 2.5GHz frequencies as 4G LTE cellphone signals.

Alphabet’s tests will be a welcome boost for the glamorous but underused private space facility, which has been virtually mothballed since the Virgin Galactic crash. Alphabet is also running similar airborne tests at a drone range on a Native American reservation in Oregon, and over the Californian coast.

Even if the companies solve the technical challenges of keeping drones aloft for long periods, sharing data via lasers and serving city-sized areas, both Alphabet and Facebook still face regulatory hurdles. Neither company has been granted a waiver to the current FAA blanket ban on the commercial operation of unmanned aircraft.

Alphabet has applied for an exemption, called “333” after a section of the FAA regulations, for its Project Wing delivery drones, but that is yet to be granted and in any case would only clear operation to a maximum height of 400ft. Google has also been testing its delivery drones in the US under a Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) with Nasa, which permitted flights intended to help Nasa develop an automated air traffic control system for low-flying drones. This would not apply to drones flying far above other manned and unmanned aircraft.

“There’s not a lot to run into between 60,000 and 90,000 feet,” says Cummings. “But I’m sure regulators would be deeply suspicious if Google and Facebook were flying these over the US.”

Facebook and Alphabet would not comment.
