5 Tips to lose belly fat forever

 

1.   Stop Eating Carbs 

One of the quickest ways to a flatter stomach is by getting rid of “bad” carbs.

So, no more bread or pasta, anything that contains gluten should be banned and binned (the supermarkets are full of gluten-free products nowadays), no more potato crisps, breadsticks or white rice.

You can still eat carbs but make them good carbs such as vegetables, lentils, peas, kidney beans, most nuts and seeds and your wholegrain carbs such as pure oats, brown rice and quinoa.

When you cut carbs out of your diet, your body eventually reaches a state of Ketosis, so it burns off fat.

 

2.   Drink water 

 

The best liquid to drink is undoubtedly water and actually, upping your intake of H2O will help to reduce your belly.

Contrary to popular belief, not drinking water will bloat you out more and have you ever thought that the excess belly fat is a combination of fat and bloating?

Water retention is the number one cause of bloating.

Drinking at least 2 liters a day of water will reduce water retention, get rid of toxins and impurities, make you feel brighter and more energized but it will also make you feel fuller for longer!

Water is your best friend when it comes to trimming the fat.

Embrace it!

  

3.   Exercise 

 

Exercise should become part of everyday life and factor in at least 20 minutes of aerobic exercise every week.

Not only does it help to reduce that belly fat, it makes you feel better all over, increases your fitness levels (that means more energy) and gets you moving.

If you have a sedentary lifestyle then building in exercise will definitely make the difference between that pocket of fat and a leaner, trimmer tummy.

Try it, start slowly and ease yourself into a routine, download a good fitness app and build up over a couple of months.

You should start seeing an improvement within just a few weeks.

 

4.   Tone those abs

 

A flatter stomach is achievable with exercise (as long as you combine it with a healthy diet).

If you’ve never tried sit-ups or core exercises this one is definitely for you.

There are lots of workouts available online or on YouTube that help you to tone up your tummy. 

Spending five minutes a day on repetitive stomach exercises will trim down that fat and turn it into lean muscle.

From sit-ups to crunches, planks to Pilates, there are so many great toning exercises to try. 

Start toning Today!

 

5.   Don’t eat late 

 

We are not suggesting you never go out for dinner, but when you’re eating at home with your family, or even alone, be strict about when you have your last meal of the day.

If you eat late, the body doesn’t have enough time to fully digest your meal before bed.

Unfortunately, the later you eat, the more likely the food will turn into fat than be used as an energy source.

That’s why a big meal makes you feel full and uncomfortable in the morning, it could also be the reason why you don’t sleep as well as you should!

When you visualize a sexier and healthier you and you keep that image in your mind, it makes it easier to stay committed. Start NOW! Be the best version of yourself that you can be! YOU CAN DO IT!
