The Best Way to Lose Belly Fat

Weight Loss Help and Tips

Are you tired of looking for the best way to lose belly fat and weight in general?  It seems that most weight accumulates in the belly area. Why is this so?

Belly fat is an accumulated amount of fat in the belly or abdominal region. There are many reasons why this occurs and one of them is due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle.  Drinking too much alcohol and beer, or eating too many fast food products bloats the stomach without giving you a nutritional return. These high calorie beverages and foods help to increase your weight and are more likely to settle in the belly area.  Though you may have inherited your belly size from your parents, you still can make significant changes through a more conscious lifestyle.

Targeting your diet and lifestyle is fairly simple, but you will have to maintain a commitment and clear vision of what you want. By now you should have stopped thinking about fad diets, overnight weight loss, extreme workouts, and all those other false claims. There is no overnight weight loss resolution, nor is there anything permanently achievable in mere days or week. You will have to work at losing excess fat, and a holistic healthy approach will help you get there.

Now what about the diet?  There are many fat-reducing foods and they are generally those that are high in protein and fiber, which can easily be found in fresh vegetables and fruits, fish, lean meat, poultry, low-fat dairy products, beans and nuts, oatmeal and other whole grain products, along with olive oil for the best source of healthy fat.  An important factor in a weight loss diet is fiber, which helps burn  fat, sweep out toxins, and makes you feel full, thus decreasing hunger pangs. The nutrients found in all of these food items will help you reduce belly fat and weight.  

A good technique for losing belly fat is to eat small meals at frequent intervals. This can be in six small portions to help maintain a boost in your metabolism, and also prevent you from snacking during the small gap in between meals.

Another way to burn fat effectively is through cardio exercise, which helps you achieve healthful heart and respiratory function.  Jogging, taking a brisk walk or even dancing in your home are some of the ways to get your cardio workout. You don’t have to go to gym for this. Be creative and  consistent with a given activity and maintain it for about 40 minutes to an hour a day. You can divide and vary your workout into three sessions of 10 minutes in the morning, 10 in the afternoon and 20 before sleeping.  It is recommended on a daily basis, or no less than 4 times a week.

Starting out with a holistic healthy approach to losing weight is just the beginning of a long and meaningful journey to rediscovering healthy living.  It takes 2 weeks or a month to achieve very reliable and consistent results, so be patient and do your best!
