How do you Lose Belly Fat... well let me tell you
Belly Fat can be hard to lose.
But you need to get rid of that spare tyre
hanging around your middle. It’s not healthy it doesn't look nice and I'm sure
you don’t want to have it spoiling your good looks.
So, where do we start and how can you effectively get
rid of that belly fat.
Ways To Lose Belly Fat
It’s all to do with what you eat, your diet in other
words, and how much exercise you do.
That’s the answer to How to Lose Belly Fat Fast.
Eating the right foods and doing targeted physical exercise.
Sounds easy
doesn't it? But we both know it’s going to take some time and effort.
Hopefully you at least are doing some physical exercises
in your present life style. If not then you are going to have to start
exercising. What is it they say ... No pain No gain.
But let’s try and make it as easy as possible for you.
Okay, as to the diet part then you need to:
- Cut well down on your sugar intake. That’s a must!
- Try and cut out as many of those processed foods that you’re eating just now.
- Cut down on your salt or sodium intake.
Surely you should be able to do all of the above.
Now
that’s not too hard it just takes a little willpower on your part but think of
the benefits you are going to get.
Think of that lovely flat toned belly you
are going to have. Think of that Belly Fat just getting less and less until it
disappears.
Belly Fat and Stress
The next thing to be aware of in your fight to lose that Belly Fat is Stress.
Tell me is your life full of stress just now. If it is
then that’s not going help you or be good for you.
Why, because stress produces
higher levels of Cortisol in your body ( Cortisol is an important hormone in
your body at the right levels, it’s the fight or flight hormone ) but in a
state of stress it alters these levels and you have an imbalance and your body will
think should it start to store reserves of fat.
Try and reduce your stress levels and I know... that
can easier said than done at times.
I have found that when I am a bit stressed
out and I go and do some of my exercise routines and especially when I do Yoga
which I love, all or most of what was stressing me out just seems to fade away.
Try it, get exercising, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how much better you
will feel after doing your exercises.
Work up a little sweat and get your heart pumping and
get that heart rate up a little. You will feel so much better, believe me.
When you lower your stress levels, you lower and
control the production of cortisol and doing that certainly reduces belly fat.
The other good thing about exercising is it actually
uses up cortisol and that helps not only to reduce your belly fat but it also
helps to reduce your appetite. So there are two good things which will come out
of that.
Foods To Lose Belly Fat
We talked about diet earlier on and you probably know
that there are a number of foods which are said to help reduce stress.
Fish is one and more importantly fish that are high in
omega 3.
For example salmon, tuna, sardines and mackerel are
just a few.
Some fruits are also good at helping you to burn up fat
such as oranges, grapefruit, papayas, mangoes and lemons.
And high protein foods which are good for you on your
schedule to burn up belly fat are chicken, turkey and beef but only lean cuts
of beef.
I have heard arguments that exercise is definitely the
best way to lose Belly Fat but I don’t think that exercise alone will work.
Okay exercise will help to reduce your overall body fat but you need to
specifically target that stubborn belly fat.
This is a two pronged attack. It has to be... yes,
exercise and also the correct diet.
Belly Fat the Conclusion
To finish this particular article and then I’ll get
started on the next I'm going to leave you with this particular fact.
Did you know that Belly Fat on its own is considered to
create more health problems than any other fat deposits found elsewhere in your
body?
Belly Fat also increases the levels of LDL that’s the bad cholesterol and it
lowers the levels of HDL the good cholesterol. That is not good, you don’t want
that.
So to lose belly fat you need change your diet,
start doing targeted physical exercises and try and keep your stress levels
down.
Let’s do it!
