What if one small adjustment to your workout could unlock the results you’ve been dreaming of? An easy and straightforward way to achieve healthy weight loss, this groundbreaking guide shows how just one hour of exercise a week can turn into a lifetime of wellbeing.
We’re all aware of the ways today’s modern lifestyle takes a toll on our health—not enough time means fast food trumps nutritious meals and the couch wins over the treadmill. But did you know that just twenty minutes three days per week is all the time you need to burn away belly fat and get your health back on track? The trick: It has to be the right kind of exercise.
Based on ten years of scientific research at the University of New South Wales, Belly Fat Breakthrough shows how, by incorporating a simple interval training routine and delicious Mediterranean eating plan, you can shed—and keep off—that stubborn excess belly fat. With simple, easy-to-follow guidelines, Dr. Stephen Boutcher explains how to apply exercise, healthy eating, and stress management in a practical, easy-to-follow program that will overhaul your bad habits. And you’ll see the difference in just six weeks.
Too much belly fat increases your risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and research has shown that most types of diet and exercise won’t help you lose it. At last there is a solution. Belly Fat Breakthrough will make you rethink your attitude to getting and staying healthy. It’s not simply a diet—it’s a total lifestyle revolution.

Boutcher, an associate professor at the University of New South Wales, here offers the results of a decade spent researching excess belly fat and developing a program to keep it off. His plan is centered upon interval sprint training for 20 minutes three days per week, supported by a Mediterranean eating plan and adequate amounts of sleep (inadequate amounts, he notes, are related to increased belly fat). Boutcher clearly explains why belly fat can pose a risk: increased weight in this area has been linked to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, hypertension, sleep apnea, and breast and other forms of cancer. The text takes readers through the process of choosing and using the right bike and examines the program's effects on specific populations, such as people with heart disease or diabetes, or postmenopausal women. Other benefits include increased leg and abdominal muscle mass and improved aerobic fitness. This straightforward, no-frills program for reducing belly fat will appeal to readers seeking an uncomplicated, swift solution. Boutcher's inclusion of his long-term research lends additional credibility to his four-pillared (interval sprinting, healthy eating, good quality sleep, and stress control) approach to health and wellness.
