Ten Steps to a Flatter Stomach, Explained!

About once a month, Vincent Ferguson, NYC Fitness Czar and President of Body Sculpt of New York, Inc. holds the seminar, "How to Flatten Your Abs." During this two hour seminar, he (along with a certified nutritionist) presents ten guaranteed steps to get a flatter stomach and a fitness trainer does an hour long cardio-respiratory fitness class. During the presentation, Mr. Ferguson discusses in detail what it means to take each of the steps he presents, explains common misconceptions, and answers any questions the attendees have as they arise.

The steps truly are quite simple. However, implementing them correctly and steadfastly is where most of us fall apart.

After a few months of doing these presentations, we realized that without fail, certain questions were always being asked. As an attempt to provide better answers to participants, all of this year's monthly newsletters have included articles that provide more in depth answers to some of the seminar's most frequently asked questions, and about the ten steps themselves. Eventually, all ten steps will be answered, but for now, here are articles about:

First and foremost: The Dangers of Abdominal Fat
The Importance of Water
Why We Need to Reduce Salt Intake
The Importance of a High Fiber Diet
Why We Need to Limit High Fat Foods
What IS the Big Deal About Sugar
The Differences Between Types of Sweeteners

In the next month's newsletter (May), will be articles about Portion Control and Eating 5 Daily Meals, and Eating Late, and The Impact of Stress on Our Bodies.
