Five Ways to a Slimmer Stomach
Losing weight can be a daunting prospect, but five simple tricks from The Belly Off! Diet author Jeff Csatari should speed up your metabolism, helping the fat melt off. Here they are, along with the science behind each:�
Eat breakfast – Dieters who skip breakfast are doing themselves a huge disservice. The earlier you eat breakfast, the sooner your metabolism starts burning calories. In fact, Leslie Bonci, a registered dietitian and director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, said skipping breakfast could reduce your metabolism by 10 percent! The key is to fuel that fire with healthy choices. Within an hour and a half of waking, you should eat a meal that includes both protein and healthy carbs. A 2008 study at Virginia Commonwealth University found that women who ate a protein-packed, 600-calorie breakfast lost more weight than their peers who ate half the calories and one-quarter the protein. That makes sense, though, since protein burns more slowly, thereby curbing your appetite later into the day and stabilizing your blood sugar. Go for eggs and turkey bacon if you have the time. Even adding peanut or almond butter to your toast or grabbing a protein bar on the go will make an impact. �
Exercise intelligently – When working out, don’t get stuck in a rut. Lots of dieters focus on cardio alone – walking, running, biking, using the elliptical machine or stair climber. While these are great, it’s been shown that interval training – mixing short periods of intense activity within a lower-impact workout – does more to burn fat and improve overall fitness than sustained, moderate workouts. Turbo-charge your gym sessions with anaerobic weight training as well. Regardless of whether you pump iron or use your body for resistance, building muscle will accelerate your fat burning more than cardio alone.�
Eat 4-6 times a day – Just as it’s important to get the metabolism revving early in the morning, it’s wise to keep the burn sustained throughout the day by eating more frequently than the typical three squares a day. If you let too much time pass between eating, your body will go into its starvation mode that slows the metabolism. By spacing your caloric intake apart every three hours or so, your body will control its release of insulin – which, if mismanaged, can cause your body to hang onto more calories as fat. Each time you eat, your metabolism speeds up to digest the food. Give it all the speed you can!�
Drop carbs, add protein – Carbohydrates – especially of the white-flour/sugar, heavily processed variety – are killer to one’s waistline. Quickly absorbed carbs like white bread or sweets cause your blood sugar to spike, leading to cravings and belly fat. However, reducing or eliminating them from your diet – and replacing them with healthier carbs like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains – forces your body to burn fat. Plus, healthy complex carbs are high in fiber, which helps your body flush out excess carbs. Researchers at University of California Davis recently found that when carbs make up less than 40 percent of one’s total daily calories, the body deactivates a gene that produces triglycerides, which become body fat. When you eat, be sure to include a mix of protein and fat as well – this will keep you feeling full longer, helping you eat less.�
Avoid alcohol – The “beer belly” has its nickname for a reason. Alcohol halts your body’s fat-burning process. Couple that with the empty carbohydrates inherent in alcohol, and you’ve got a serious problem. Csatari recommends giving up alcohol for a month to see the difference it makes.�

TEAM = Together Everyone Achieves More
Many companies underestimate the importance of teams in fulfilling their overall mission. In reality, every company with more than one employee needs to assign tasks to a team —� not an individual. In today’s complex and fast paced workplace, you’ll get left behind if you try to make it alone.�
That’s because no one can contribute everything, but everyone can contribute something. One team member might have outstanding leadership talents while another team member excels at providing administrative support.�
A huge benefit to team building is being grouped together with like-minded people who are all working toward the same goals. A side-benefit to this is being surrounded with the positive attitudes and actions of people that will progressively motivate you to reach your own potential.�
When working with a team, many individuals discover abilities that were unknown to themselves and to the team as a whole. Stretching boundaries and known limits within a group will allow more ground to be covered in a shorter period of time. Plus, a team can act as a support group to weaker team members and assist in overcoming obstacles that would have seemed impossible if tackled alone.

The Scoop on Facebook Timelines
A lot of buzz has been generated in the social media sphere by Facebook’s announcement of its reimagined personal profiles: the Facebook Timeline. Facebook is touting Timeline as a way for its users to “tell your life story with a new kind of profile.”� It allows users to take the content they’ve added into Facebook over the years and present it in a highly personalized format, creating a mini-autobiography of sorts within the social networking sphere.�
Facebook Timelines sport a look that’s less social media and more scrapbook sentimentality, Facebook product chief Sam Lessin told VentureBeat.�
“We’d get out a big box of old pictures, flip through the photos and talk about them,” Lessin said. “We were watching test users reminisce over these things, and we tried to design with that in mind and create that experience.”�
The effort paid off. VentureBeat writer Jolie O’Dell summed up her first taste of Timeline thusly:�
Years-old memories flashed before me — old friends, old places, things I hadn’t thought about in ages. I got sucked back into the past the same way I would have in front of my mother’s old cedar chest, a trunk packed full of childhood tchotckes and pictures that holds our family’s history.�
This innocuous social web tool had just made a powerful and convincing bid for more than my information or my time. Facebook was grasping at my emotions by way of my memories, and it was doing a damn good job.�
With Timeline, Facebook is succeeding where so many other web companies have failed: It has created a technology with real emotional power.�
So what goes into the Timeline? Here’s an overview:
- Your Cover – Facebook Timelines are heavily visual, and that includes a dominant opening image. “Fill this wide, open space with a unique image that represents you best,” advises the Timeline About Page. “It’s the first thing people see when they visit your timeline.” The cover image does not replace the profile picture – rather, the profile picture sits in as a thumbnail in the foreground at the bottom of the cover image, tying together the concept that this image says something about the person in that profile pic.
- Your Stories – The next element down on the timeline is a place to “share and highlight your most memorable posts, photos, and life events,” the About page reads. “This is where you can tell your story from beginning, to middle, to now.” Users have the option to place a star by their favorite moments to make them widescreen. They also have the option to remove the ones they’d prefer to hide. Components in this section include friends, photos, places, likes, and wall posts.
- Your Apps – This section gets interactive, tying together the various platforms and technologies people use elsewhere online into one information-sharing zone. As the website describes it, “The movies you quote. The songs you have on repeat. The activities you love. Now there’s a new class of social apps that let you express who you are through all the things you do.” What’s included is up to the user’s preferences, but options include music via Spotify that friends can actually play, lists of books recently read via bookshelf apps like Kobo, movies watched on Netflix or Hulu, or runs made using Nike+ GPS.
