how do i lose belly fat ?

Answer 1

since we cant choose which body parts to lose the weight off - it has to be overall weight loss.

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Answer 2

Once you've decided to lose weight and burn all the fat in your body, you should make that commitment and follow it with a positive attitude. Another is a physical process of exercise. Cardio workout is an excellent way to lose weight. But many are scared by the thought of losing potbelly with cardio and sit ups. Though we would wish for a miracle to occur, it is not possible. Losing weight needs time and effort if you don’t have the suitable approach and encouragement to help you.

Get 7-8 hours of sleep:A lack of sleep causes stomach cells to produce ghrelin, which increases your feelings of hunger.At the same time, there is a decrease in production of a hormone named Leptin, which is responsible for suppressing our appetite and burning fat stores.
-Eat ample quantities of cold water fish such as fresh water salmon, sardines, anchovies , and mackerel. At the same time I would invest in the following nutritional supplements: Omega 3 fish oils, Carnitine, Alpha lipoic acid and astaxanathin. These foods have high anti-inflammatory properties, that will reduce the fat in your body.
-Avoid high glycemic carbohydrates, that are structured to make you dependent on them. For the glycemic index please visit www.glycemicindex.com. Focus on eating foods that are low on this list e.g lentil soup and beans.
-Drink plenty of water, it naturally suppresses your appetite and it helps the body metabolize stored fat.
-Reduce your stress levels; cortisol is released when you are stressed out. It stimulates carbohydrate metabolism for fast energy , and in the process stimulating insulin release to keep up with the "perceived" increase in blood sugar levels. This results in an increase in your appetite. Therefore pray, laugh, and manage your emotions well.
-Drink green tea-it has been proven that it prevents fat absorption, helping to keep excess body fat in check.
-Strengthen your abdominals: 3-4 sets of different stomach exercises, done right after your warm up.
-Perform aerobics exercises before your weight training. This will help in melting that layer of fat.
-Aerobic training: perform what I call jig jogs i.e sprint 20 secs then jog 10 secs, sprint 10 secs then jog 20 secs sprint 30 secs then jog 30 secs . These are great fat burning routines.
-Weight training: Perform 12-15 reps for 3-4 sets, working with 65%-75% of your max. Be progressive with this.
-Weight train 2 times a week for the first 4-6 weeks , then step it up to 3 weight training sessions.
-Apply progressive overload-increase your resistance/resistance every 14 days.
-Walk a little bit more, instead of driving everywhere, park 3 blocks away, or on the further end of the parking lot. Do gardening work at home, clean up the house, use the stairs more often. Its all about incorporating "active things " into your lifestyle.Think you are living in the year 1980, this might help.


Go for it! having thought about it.....you are about IT!
