Weight Loss Management Part 8: (Belly Fat Loss)

Belly Fat burning

Certain factors contribute to belly fat, such as poor eating habits and lack of exercising. Luckily, there are methods to slim your belly and improve your overall appearance. You can't shed belly fat overnight. But with patience and determination, you can lose fat from your belly. The key is following an effective program of weight loss.

Exercise routine:

An exercise routine is key to weight loss. To lose belly fat, work out for at least 30 to 60 minutes three times a day---more if possible. Effective exercises for losing belly fat can include aerobics, walking, jogging or biking. 

                         Engage in abdominal workouts. While high-impact exercises help you to shed belly fat, chanting exercises strengthen the core muscles and contribute to a flatter stomach. Along with regular aerobic workouts, you need chanting exercises such as Pilate's and stomach crunches.

Eat a healthy diet:

Some people naturally store fat in their bellys. That's why the food you eat can determine whether you lose or gain weight in the stomach. Choose your foods cautiously, and adopt a low-fat, low-sugar diet. Take plenty of fruits and vegetables, don't overindulge, and limit your carbohydrate intake to 130 g per day.

Lose water weight:

People frequently mistake water weight or fluid retention for belly fat. Losing water weight helps you to quickly shed pounds and flatten your belly. Drink at least ten glasses of water each day to get rid of excess fluids in your body, and reduce your sodium intake to less than 2500 mg per day.

Control stress:

Cortisol, a stress harmone, also contributes to increased belly fat. When the body undergoes a trial, it releases a high amount of cortisol, resulting in an increased appetite and redistribution of fat. Learn ways to meet stress and anxiety, such as hobbies, massage, exercise, meditation and breathing exercises.
