Losing that belly just seems so difficult!
It’s no mystery that being overweight particularly around your belly results from eating too much of the wrong food for the lifestyle you lead.
Men tend to put on weight first of all around their middle typically known as a beer belly.
Women tend to put the extra weight on their hips and thighs first then the extra weight goes to their stomach area.
As more women become overweight there will be a greater percentage of women carrying belly fat also.
Women of menopause age tend to add weight around their waist also.
You may have tried dieting and noticed that when you are on a diet the last part you lose weight from is your stomach.
Hence the reason why so many people give up.
I’ll give you some belly fat loss tips to help you get results quickly.
You really can lose that belly fat but you need an Action Plan and you need to take ACTION.
1. Look at What You Eat
Start by looking at what you eat on a daily basis particularly carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are designed to give us energy but we consume far too many for the lifestyle we lead.
When you’re inactive you won’t need to eat lots of foods laden with carbs as you don’t need the energy. If you eat too many this will turn to fat.
Replace refined processed carbs with unrefined carbs – brown bread, rice and pasta instead of white. Cut out or severely cut down on empty carbs – biscuits, sweets, cakes, pastries.
These will cause wild fluctuations in your insulin levels leading to slumps and surges in energy.
2. What Quantity of Food do You Eat?
Look at how much food you eat – It’s probably too much.
Eat slower by spending time really enjoying the taste of the food. Slow down in your eating.
Serve your food on a smaller plate.
Eating too little can actully prevent you from losing weight as your metabolism will slow down to conserve the food you have eaten.
3. How Often Do You Eat?
Always eat breakfast. Your first meal of the day after sleeping for say 8 hours is very important.
Mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks should consist of fruit, yogurt, nuts or seeds.
Lunch should consist of good quality unrefined carbs and protein.
Your evening meal should be mainly protein based and be eaten before 7pm.
Eating 5 times daily will boost your metabolism.
4. Drink 6-8 glasses of Water a Day
This will fill you up and you may actually be thirsty rather than hungry.
If you suffer from sinus problems and/or constipation to mention a few health issues caused by de-hydration you may not be drinking enough water.
5. Restrict Your Intake of Alcohol and Fizzy Drinks
Fizzy drinks are full of calories.
Fizzy drinks are also full of sugar and should be avoided. Do not drink sugar free drinks as these are laden with unhealthy artificial sweeteners.
6. Exercise
6. Exercise
You need to do cardio and resistance training exercises at least 3 times a week preferably more. If you do both this will give you the best results.
By doing resistance training you will reduce fat from your body by gaining muscle and increasing your metabolism! The more muscle building exercises you do the more calories you will burn.
Exercise will help you to lose belly fat because the more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn.
7. Mindset
Work mainly on your mindset to lose weight. That’s why most diets do not work. People think that they only have to diet and exercise which is true but then when results are not as quick as anticipated they give up. It’s your thoughts and actions which will determine whether you succeed at anything including losing that belly fat.
You need to combat your thoughts to produce the correct actions.
