TIPS ON LOSING BELLY FAT

Hey All!

Sorry I have been gone for a while! You know how we all are always trying to lose some weight especially around our midsection……I go to the beach sometimes and I am so vain, I need to look great in my bikini! So here are some easy tips to help your belly fat in check pr even lose weight there!

v  CARRY WATER EVERYWHERE TO START LOSING STOMACH FAT

Whether you’re on a weight loss journey, you’re trying to lose belly fat, or you’re just trying to be healthier. It’s always a good idea to keep well-hydrated and to do that, you’ll want to keep a bottle of water handy with you everywhere you go. Sip from it every now and then, you’ll feel fuller, more invigorated, and you’ll also be a lot less likely to indulge in sugar-laden soda or juice if you’re not thirsty. This is a sure way to lose stomach fat fast, try it for a week and you’ll see what a difference it makes.

v  NEVER SKIP BREAKFAST

Skipping breakfast can actually be one of those things that cause stomach fat. If you don’t eat after many hours of sleeping, your body goes into starvation mode. This is bad news for shedding belly fat as it shows your metabolism down in an effort to save energy and burn less calories. A lot of dietitians’ advices that the best breakfast is a heavy one.

v  CUT OUT FAST FOOD

Fast food is the worst culprit in the battle against stomach fat. It’s convenient, sure but it is loaded with calories and fat which lead straight to our problem area. Skip fast foods or at lead opt for healthier fast food option, like salads[ without fried chicken or calories- rich ranch on them] instead of fries. But if you are really set on losing stomach fat fast. Avoid fast foods altogether.

v  CUT OUT SODA

A serving of soda contain more calories with none of the nutritional value. Many of those calories come from high fructose corn syrup, which our bodies don’t really know how to process, and often ends up turning into belly fat. Ditch the soda and save those calories for something much better.

v  DON’T STARVE YOURSELF

Starving yourself will not help you burn belly fat. Cut calories, by all means, especially empty calories but to be healthy and lose belly fat, you need to eat well. Starving yourself is dangerous, terribly unhealthy and it won’t work anyway. In addition, don’t feel you have to deprive yourself all the time either just because you want to lose stomach fat. But you can have a small dish, once in a while, to keep the edge off your craving, and to remind yourself that life is good.

v  DRINK A GLASS OF WATER BEFORE YOU EAT

If you’re thirsty, you’re going to eat more. Isn’t that strange? But it’s true. So before you sit down to eat, drink a glass of cool water, wait a few minutes, then dish out your sensible potion and begin to eat much better. Rather than eating three large meals every day, switch to five smaller meals: a light breakfast, a mid- morning snack, a light lunch, a mid- afternoon snack and a balanced dinner. Smaller portions more often will keep you from feeling hungry.

v  CUT DOWN OR ELIMINATE ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION

Aside of the effects alcohol has on the liver, drinking alcohol slows down the body’s natural fat burning process. An occasional glass of red wine is probably the best option as not only is it low-carb but it has some other health benefits.

Remember excessive consumption of salt makes the body retain water. This makes the abdomen appear bloated. We can get enough salt from our diet without needing to add it to our food. Also junk foods contain a lot of salt and are best eliminated in order to lose excess fat.

Think about what could help to stay motivated. Keeping a food diary, joining an exercise class maybe with your best friend or rewarding yourself for small success are great ways to keep you on your toes. But most importantly, if you do hit a low. Don’t punish yourself or binge.
