Fabdominal Cream
Hardcore Abs!
Who wants chiseled abs without the work? I know, it’s a stupid question. Except all those 300 pound lineman who don’t really care about six packs, opting instead for the keg look, we all want hard core abs and if we can get them without all those annoying sit ups, all the better.
Fabdominal is a topical cream that claims to target and melt away belly fat when applied to the midsection. I wish that were possible but it simply flies in the face of modern medical science. Unfortunately the body just doesn’t use fat that way.
The Only Real Solution
I don’t think you want a biology lesson but basically your body stores excess energy in the form of fat all over the body. The only way to get rid of that body fat is to burn more calories than you consume, therefore making the body dip into its stored reserves. There are a lot of diet pills that can help you accomplish that but a fat cell in the abdomen is no different than one in your backside. You can always tone specific areas through strength training, but fat is lost and gained all over the body.
Benefits
The main ingredients in Fabdominal are Guarana and bitter orange extract. Guarana does help boost energy but does little to actually burn more calories. Bitter orange extract is another widely used dietary supplement that has been shown to positively affect a person’s ability to burn fat. The problem, of course, is how much good is either of these ingredients doing on the surface of your skin?
Drawbacks
I think the main downside to this product is the delivery system. A topical cream must be absorbed through the skin in order to have any affect on your body. The amount you apply and the size of the surface over which you apply it, all affect how much of the active ingredients are actually introduced into the body.
As mentioned before, the overall flawed theory of targeting a certain area of fat cells is another problem with this product. I wish it were possible to target an area with a topical cream but it just doesn’t work that way. While the active ingredients in this product may help to reduce fat it won’t be because you smeared is all over your stomach.
Bottom Line
I’ve been a little harsh on this product only because it seems to be trying to take advantage of people’s natural desire to specifically rid their midsection of that all terrain tire they’ve been carrying around for the past few years. That is an unfair claim to make and I hope I was able to shed some light on the subject.
That being said, I do think that this product contains ingredients that can help you loose weight. If you choose to give this product a try I think you could see results, just not quite the results the company claims. If I were to recommend a product, I think you would be better served by one that delivered the essential ingredients in more effective manner.
