Have you got problems with your belly size?
If so, you could be one of the thousands that currently consider their
belly fats as huge and noticeable. With summer approaching this
inefficiency of the body becomes more important and it is the time that
many people search for a solution. If you take a survey now and ask
people about their targets, in the top of the list you will find goals
related to fitness and weight loss. Although caring about your weight
should not be seasonal, it is never too late to make a turn to a
healthier lifestyle and fit body.
The areas in the body where fat usually resides are the belly,
thighs, buttocks, and hips. Most of us don’t know that all of these ‘fat
types’ are the same, and that there are a few natural ways to lose fat,
unless of course you’re considering liposuction or hepatic surgeries.
Here are some ideas on how you can address this problem and get fit
before this summer.
Clear out misconceptions
Fats are only burned through activities and that includes cardio
exercise and other fat burning methods. You can’t decrease your belly
size over crunches and sit ups and you won’t definitely see six packs
with those alone. Cardio exercise is the best way to lose fat in
general. With cardio you can shed off those extra pounds and feel the
difference not only when you get on the scale but also in overall body
size and appearance. Don’t be fooled, there is no miracle diet or magic
pill that can just get rid of stomach fat overnight. Losing fat may take
time and the speed would depend on the diet you are following and the
intensity of exercises you perform.
Plan ahead
Absolutely plan ahead and make daily plans as well. Try to make your
daily plans as specific as possible with details on what to eat, when to
eat and number of calories consumed. Use one of the free BMR
calculators and calculate your Basic Metabolic Rate and base your plans
around that figure. Make sure youíre doing a lot more fat burning
activities while having less calorie intake.
Proper diet
You will have to maintain a balanced diet and this means consuming
food with a good protein source like beans, nuts, tofu, green veggies,
also high fiber carbs like whole grains, and healthy fats from olive
oil. All of these food items are essential for a well-balanced diet
which keeps fat intake to 30% and with carbs and protein evenly
distributed in 35%.
Since you are aiming in losing weight and fat in general, do not
forget the leading role of fresh fruits and vegetables. These are full
of fibre which can give you a feeling of fullness for longer time and
they contain fewer calories in a high nutrient package.
Sports and Exercise
Cardio and aerobic exercise can be in a form of sports and
recreation. You choose whatever you like as long as you consistently do
it. This means that a suggested daily 30 minutes to an hour brisk walk
or jog is important in trimming your belly fat but if you really can’t
find the time for 30 continuous minutes you can do this evenly
throughout the day. Have 10 minute brisk walk after each meal and you
can add up your 30 minutes by the end of the day. Be creative and always
think on ways on how to lose weight more naturally.
Keep your heads up
Motivation is a key factor in losing fat as well as achieving any
goal in life. Finding your target and focusing your energy towards that
target will keep you motivated. Always start your day with a little
imagination and picture yourself having reached your goals. Visualizing
your success would help you start a fun belly losing day. You can also
try the buddy system, where you have a partner who shares the same
challenges, and together you work towards your goals. Or you can wear
bracelets (or any other gadget) to act as a reminder of your
aspirations.
Nothing beats the healthy way of losing fat and weight. What you need
to understand is that there is no shortcut for faster results. Also it
is an easy plan to stick to. Stop daydreaming and try it to get flat abs
now, summer is just around the corner!
