Can anyone give me some advice on getting rid of some stomach fat?

Answer 1

Other than liposuction the only way to get rid of fat is through cardio exercise. Crunches only build muscle and add definition. They do not burn enough calories to remove fat.

You cannot spot reduce. You cannot remove fat from just one part of your body without surgery. Just start jogging 3 times a week for 30 minutes. You will burn off the fat.

Answer 2

You can reduce belly fat by doing exercises like walking, swimming and rowing. Such activities help in supplying enough oxygen to the body to burn fat. The healthiest way to prevent a fat stomach is by ensuring that your weight is normal for your height. Ensure that the energy provided by the food you eat matches the energy you burn performing your daily activities. More info at http://www.toloseweight.org/losestomachfat.html

Answer 3

I am doing the same thing as you. First of all is diet.

For breakfast I have firstly a danone actimel (low fat strawberry) then 2 tbls of low fat greek yogurt (get one of those big pots for the week) half a bananna chopped a sprinkle of mixed seeds and 5 almonds and eat that all together in a bowl as you would cereal. and a cup of green tea.

I don't have a set lunch, I just eat portions of different fruit and veg throughout the day such as: a carrot (loads of vitamin a) apple, a stick of celery, a tomato, pepper, sharon fruit, melon, grapes. I usually have about 3 different ones throughout the day, but if its celery youre eating you can eat more of this if you wish as its not got many calories. A portion is the palm of your hand not including fingers. (I always eat with portions this size hence half the bananna for breakfast.) If you get hungry eat another five almonds as protein is more filling than carbs etc.

for dinner I usually eat a mixed salad (e.g. 1/4 pepper, 1 stick of celery chopped, 5 cherry tomatos, 5 olives, 3 inches of cucumber sliced in strips, 5 silverskin pickled onions) a portion of boiled new potatos and a portion of protein (i have fish: salmon, cod etc grilled or tinned tuna/salmon or grilled chicken.

I never eat more than 1000 calories a day. Never cook with oils of any kind, NEVER add any salt or salad dressings etc. Eat the food as it comes, foods that have grown and lived, not been created or changed.

I drink about 5 cups of green tea a day and drink about 1litre of bottled water on top of that. It is important to drink lots to keep body hydrated and not to confuse thirst for hunger.

I take supplements (pills) after a meal in the evening such as:
vitamins and minerals (including iron, very important)
odourless garlic
cod liver oil with calcium
and evening primrose oil

Most people eat too much cholesterol, not enough iron of calcium. Make sure you get all your daily nutrients!

A website I use to monitor what I eat is www.nutridiary.com it is very good and has a lot of information as you log your food, weight, measurements and it records all this for you. It's like a food diary, tedious it may sound, but to be successful in your diet you must be organised and plan what you eat.

Ok, so that's the diet bit sorted... obviously if you have allergies to any of the above or are vegetarian or dont like them, dont eat them!

And for exercise I do cheat a little as I have a slendertone flex belt I got on ebay for £25, it is very effective and does help a LOT! Get one! I do those cruches where you lie on your back and bring opposite elbow to knee then the other. Do about 50 of them in one go, quite fast though, don't take too long to do one crunch. I have a twist and shape stepper I got from boots in sale for £23.32, it is very good value for money and works just as well as the brand name 'Lateral Thigh Trainer'. I do 30 minutes on there and really build up a sweat. I have a fitness dvd called '28 day total body plan' by joanna hall, which i got for free with a health magazine. All it is, is a combination or cardio and body toning which you can do standing up with no equipment! I do that for 30 minutes when I do that. And the final exercise I do is lifting weights, I have some dumbells at home... if you get some dont get the really light ones, get about 5kg. I do the weights as muscle burns more calories than fat, even when not exercising - which is increasing your metabolism. Typically I do 30mins on my stepper, the weights until my arms are weak and cant lift any more, I do about 8 reps and then do the crunches. I wear my toning belt for about 1 hour a day at least. I do the exercise dvd if I have the time, about once a week.

So there you have it. I don't like going to the gym because it takes too long for me to get there, easier doing it from home.

I have done this for about 2 and a half weeks now and have lost 9lbs... so if you really want results you have to stick to it and be focused and organised.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Diet and exercise is the ONLY way. By the way you cannot just loose fat on your belly, you will loose it in the same percentage all over your body. You can tone the muscles up by doing crunches and 6 inch leg lifts.

Answer 5

Low carb diet and CARDIO for over 20 minutes 3 to 4 times a week. (it takes 20 mins to reach fat burning zone so the longer the better) and you dont have to kill yourself either, just work at about 60% of your max heart rate. (max heart rate is 220 minus your age) GOOD LUCK!

Answer 6

I'm pretty sure the good old-fashioned way works just as well. Gyms are around because most people can't find a forest, don't have an axe (unless it's to grind) and they can drive to it! Stick to natural ways, the muscles are bound to tone up.

Answer 7

sit ups and crunches help with stomach fat. I used to have a small roll and after soing these exercises and no junk food its gone. You have to stick with the exercises daily

Answer 8

i help you to understand i'm about an similar length as you a year older yet each and every thing enormously a lot an similar and everyone, truly everyone receives rolls even as they sit down. in case you extremely are uncomfortable then attempt sit down-ups. you may seek for on line for quick and easy abdomen pulling down routines. only comprehend you're heading in the right route; healthy, lively, and taking care of your self, so if others don't love your body in spite of that is their difficulty. you in common words do issues that are tender to you and under no circumstances others. you stay YOUR existence for YOU.

Answer 9

Cardio exercise. We all got a six pack under there dying to show through, but we got to lose the fat before you can see it.

Answer 10

Are you just sick of the typical diets were after the diet finish the added pounds are just coming and coming right after finish the diet program?
