A lot of people are skeptical by nature, and for good reason. No one likes to waste money, and when it comes to spending money on a product, especially an informational product on the internet, you want to know what you are buying is not a waste of you money. The Truth About Abs Scam, is it really a scam? And how can you be sure what you are not wasting your money on this abdominal product?
Here are four reasons how you can tell that the Truth About Abs is not a Scam:
- It is the #1 selling ab program on the internet (according to ClickBank.com). What does this mean? It means that since so many people are buying it, it MUST be working. If the Truth About Abs really was a scam, then wouldn’t the whistle already have been blown so to speak. Wouldn’t the word have already gotten around that it was a scam? Well, this hasn’t happened. People are still buying it, and people are still getting their sexy, six pack abs from the information in the program.
- This leads me to the next reason: There are tens of thousands of positive reviews all over the internet. So many people have tried the program and gotten the results they were looking for. There are hardly any negative reviews (probably because of the reasons below). With so many people who love this ab program, and so few who dislike it, it is easy to see that this product is not a scam.
- They have a 21 day trial program that only costs $4.95. You pay for $4.95 and get all the information from the program. You then have 21 days to decide if the information is worth it to pay the rest of the cost.
- They have a 60 day, 100% money back guarantee. If after 60 days, you don’t see the results you were looking for, or you are not completely satisfied for any reason, you can get all your money back. I would say that is a very good reason as to why the Truth About Abs is not a scam.
These 4 reasons show you that there is no such thing as the Truth About Abs Scam. If a product is the top seller, it has tons of positive reviews, offers a low cost trial, and has a money back guarantee, then the product is legit.

I’m a strongman. I’ll Love the sport ’til I die! Although there are many different fitness topics in this blog, Strongman is the sport I’m most inclined to discuss. Anyone wishing to post their fitness routines/diets/workouts on Infonian.com is more than welcome to! Just send me your workout to workouts@infonian.com and I will be MORE than happy to evaluate it, post it on the homepage, and give you valuable feedback…FOR FREE!!!
That’s it. No catch. I’m not going to ask for payment in anyway anyhow. I just take pride in learning how athletes, like you, do what they love and helping them out however I can. If I see any drawbacks in your fitness plan, I’ll discuss in a review I’ll write. And of course you should expect to get “two thumbs up” for submitting your workout.

It seems that I tried every diet and exercise program out there, but nothing seemed to work. But then I discovered something that helped me lose 30 pounds in 30 days. I lost pounds and kept them off, and you can too! I started this blog because I wanted to share my weight loss story. I’m a busy mom of three, and I don’t have TIME to count calories or go to the gym every day. After trying lots of different things, I developed a diet that works and fits my busy schedule. The products in this diet are safe, healthy, and they REALLY WORK. Want proof?
Before and after photos of me. The photo on the left was taken on November 6,2008. The photo on the right is taken December 8,2008.
Hi, guys! Joan Parker here. I wanted to blog about this amazing product that helped me to lose so much weight. I’m a working mom of 3 – a receptionist at the local doctor’s office here, with three absolutely amazing kids. John, five; Alex, three; and the baby, Lauren, who is turning a year old. It can be so stressful trying to lose all of that baby weight! While I was pregnant with Lauren, I don’t know why but I gained about twice as much weight than with John and Alex. After Lauren’s birth, I worked so hard to get back to my “normal” shape; working in a doctor’s office wouldn’t look good if I was so overweight!
I managed to lose all of the baby weight Lauren put on to me, except for the stubborn last twenty pounds. I worked my butt off to get that far, and some things worked better than others – but they all made me feel very tired and lethargic, almost like I was still pregnant! I tried the South Beach Diet, the organic juice-only diet, the supplements-only diet – I tried everything, combined with exercise; nothing worked well.
And the places that the weight stayed on – around my middle, and my thighs and butt – made it incredibly difficult to buy or even try on clothes. I would go to the department store and try on jeans, and rush out in tears; it was so hard to find clothes that fit right, or even fit close to right. My self-esteem dropped, and even the new baby girl couldn’t bring it back up again. My husband noticed, and commented that my self-esteem issues concerning my weight were really affecting the family. I had to find some way to get out of this rut.
My husband noted that the women in his office were talking about the miracles that this Acai Berry Weight Loss Formula worked for them, and suggested it to me. I think that he genuinely wanted me to feel better about myself. But then when I heard that Oprah was the one who was suggesting this diet, I had to try it.
Another friend who had also just had a baby and was trying to lose the rest of the stubborn weight from the pregnancy recommended the Colon Cleanse, to help me do weight. I talked to her about the Acai Berry Weight Loss Formula, and after some research online and with the doctor at my office, we discovered that they were safe and twice as effectual when you combine the two.
We also found out from the doctor that I work for, that there is a secret website where we could get these products cheaply. We ended up finding free trials for both the Acai Berry Weight Loss Formula, and the Colon Cleanse. Because I so strongly believe in the power of these two products, here are the websites for the free trials. But keep it a secret, or everyone else will be doing it too!
After doing the combination of these two diets for a month, I found that all of the weight from my last pregnancy was gone! In addition to losing the weight from the last pregnancy, I was beginning to lose other weight that I had put on, simply from all of the stresses of being a working mother – ferrying John around to his soccer practice, Alex to play dates with his three year old “girlfriend;” and, of course, Lauren is still in her “mommy’s girl” phase. If the kids want McDonalds, I don’t have time to take them there after work, and then make myself something special afterwards! I have to eat what they eat; it’s really the only thing that works. These two diets, the Acai Berry Weight Loss Formula and Colon Cleanse, allow me to still eat what my kids eat, and lose weight at the same time! My friend, too, has learned that she can devote more time to her kids and less time to her eating habits while doing this diet.
So, what did my friend and I do to lose so much weight? Oprah is never wrong. And neither are Rachel Ray or CNN – both of which have been mentioning the Acai Berry a lot lately. The Acai Berry Weight Loss Formula, combined with the Colon Cleanse, help me in many different ways.
- my metabolism is much more regular, and much faster, so I am able to eat more and gain less weight
- it keeps me from feeling like I constantly need to eat to keep up with my life
- I have so much energy to devote to John, Alex, and Lauren. And they need a lot of energy and attention! In addition, my relationship with my husband has improved so much; we now have time to do “other special things” that I didn’t previously have energy for
- I also have healthier gums and teeth by cutting out coffee, tea, and soda. I don’t need them any more because I already have enough energy, thanks to the Acai Berry and Colon Cleanse!
Besides the physical effects, I managed to shave inches and inches off of my waistline. I went down four whole inches in jean size!! And the doctor who was helping my friend and I out told us that we would be lowering our blood pressure, in addition to our cholesterol, and that we were cleaning out the years and years of buildup in our colons.
After losing so much weight, I am finally happy with my figure and my body and am so much healthier. The energy increase has truly made an enormous impact on my health, too, which I am sure I will appreciate later in my life. I know that there are women out there who are having weight problems, just like what I was having after my last baby. I believe that the Acai Berry Weight Loss Formula and Colon Cleanse diet, since it worked for me, will work for anyone, especially people who are tired of having to devote hours and hours of time to these diets without seeing any results at all. You will lose about 30 pounds in under a month; I did, and so did my friend! My doctor was so impressed, and noticed the change in my demeanor also. If you are having problems losing weight, or if you are busy and don’t have time for other ridiculous diets, use this diet. It truly will change your life; it changed mine, and I wouldn’t go back to my old body for anything!!
As you can see from the picture above, I lost a TON of weight. Over 30 pounds on the free trial alone! More importantly, the weight finally stays off. I’m really happy I discovered this diet, and I wanted to share it with you.
I know how hard it is to lose weight and keep it off, but I’ve really found the solution. Make sure you order both the Acai Berry and TotalCleanse and try the full free trial before giving up on yourself. Both products have good guarantees and are totally safe, so you never have to worry about falling for some scam. This dynamic duo diet is healthy, safe, and best of all, free. You have nothing to lose! Again, here are the links to the free trials in case you missed them earlier:
Order an Acai Berry free trial
Order a TotalCleanse free bottle
Good luck!

Wu Long Tea (oolong tea): Does it really help you lose weight?
www.burnthefat.com
By Tom Venuto, NSCA-CPT, CSCS
You’ve probably seen the advertisements:
“Drink wu long tea and lose a jeans size every 7 days!”…
“Burn 20 lbs of fat in 30 days with wu long tea!” …
Maybe you even watched Oprah a few years ago when Dr. Perricone said that switching your coffee for green tea would help you take off the pounds.
You may have also read or watched countless news stories which say how healthy it is to drink green tea.
The odds are good that if you’re interested in improving your health and losing fat, you probably either drink tea, take a green tea supplement or you’ve at least thought about it.
But what if I told you that most of the fat reducing claims for green tea were absolute, total BS, based on misinterpretation or deliberate misreporting of the research?
Unfortunately, it’s true. If you’ve bought green tea based on the claim that it causes large reductions in body fat, then you have been scammed.
Here are the facts:
Green tea DOES stimulate your metabolism.
However, the research is very unclear about what kind of impact this small, short term increase in metabolism will have on your bodyweight in the long term.
In the most often quoted study (Dulloo, 1999), A swiss research team found that 270 mg of green tea extract 3X a day increased metabolic rate by the equivalent of about 79 calories on average and increased the oxidation of fat as the fuel source.
If you do the math, it appears that 79 kcal a day would add up to an extra pound of fat lost every 44 days. Not much, but you’ll take it, right? Hypothetically, that would add up to an extra 8 pounds lost per year.
What advertisements quoting this study don’t tell you is that this and other similar studies did not even measure long term change in body fat percentage or bodyweight. They only measured a 24- hour increase in energy expenditure.
One study which is used as marketing ammunition to claim that wu long tea burns 2.5 times more fat than green tea was based only on a 120-minute increase in energy expenditure! (reminds me of that Mark Twain quote: “There are lies, damned lies, and then there are statistics.”)
Numerous follow up studies have confirmed the short term increase in metabolism, but the studies are mixed on whether green tea improves weight reduction or maintenance in the long term.
The research IS compelling, but not conclusive.
As for ad claims that say you’ll lose a lot of weight just from drinking green tea… absolute BS! Hopefully the Federal Trade Commission will catch up with these scammers sooner rather than later, as the marketing messages on the Internet are getting louder and bolder every day.
As for health benefits – green tea is certainly a champ. It’s high in antioxidants and there are more than 2,000 research citations about potential health benefits of green tea (not to mention a 5,000 year history of use in China and the far east).
Even if you’re a skeptic, green tea is hard not to like and it’s hard to dispute that it’s a good idea to add green tea to your nutrition program as one part of a well-balanced fitness lifestyle.
But when it comes to claims for large and rapid losses in bodyweight and bodyfat, (especially the wu long tea ads that are currently all over the internet), buyer beware.
The science we do have says that the thermogenic effect of green tea – while very real – is also very small.
Train hard and expect success always,

The legions of fitness men all over the world will agree that developing a well-defined midsection can be the most challenging part of working-out. Stored fat around the belly tends to be the most stubborn when trying to trim down and lose body fat. The effort of trying to get rid of love handles and a cushy tummy can get very frustrating at times and a lot of people give up.
Our anatomy is such that the excess calories we don’t expend our stored as fat and this is concentrated mostly around our midsection. It’s quite unattractive to walk around with a potbelly, so losing belly fat tops the list for gym goers everywhere.
Gym exercises require repetitions that can become tiresome and boring after a while. With lower ab exercises for women, it’s tougher to stay motivated because their body fat is usually found in the lower part of the belly, hips and thighs.
Because body fat tends to leave the lower abdomen last, it may seem like progress in terms of getting a six pack is slower than developing other parts of the body. As such, a lot of folks try to do lower ab exercises more.
Isolating the lower part of the rectus abdominus by trying to target the lower abs is quite impossible because it’s really all one single muscle. There are lower ab exercises however that put more stress on that area: air-pedaling while on one’s back, vertical and horizontal leg raises, and different versions of such.
The monotonous nature of repetitions and seemingly slower progress developing the lower abs make it a challenge to keep working regularly. This can be remedied by either working-out with a partner, using alternative devices like a medicine ball, or switching to a different type of lower ab exercise every now and then.
Muscle tissue stops growing when it adapts to a specific type of movement. Changing your lower ab exercise routine once you feel like you’ve hit a plateau will help you reach your goal of getting a six-pack a little faster.
By keeping our workouts less monotonous through a gauntlet of different lower ab exercises, we don’t face the risk of getting bored and worse- stop working-out. The best way for radical results is consistency in exercising.
