Many of us have the problem of not being able to reduce belly fat or when you reduce your belly you put it back only after a few months. A lot of this comes down to diets promising quick fat loss without doing so, but cutting calories too few – even if it’s tempting, you’ll only get frustrated or end up in worse shape than when you started the diet. become You see, these diets don’t have the whole picture in mind and only set you up to fail.
If you want to lose belly fat and keep it off forever then below are 5 essential fat loss tips that you must follow.
Use non-diet to reduce belly fat
Dieting and eating too few calories are the main contributors to lowering your metabolism and increasing belly fat storage.
How?
Quite simply, our bodies go into defense when hungry ‘starvation mode’. It becomes very efficient at making the most of the calories it receives and instead provides the muscles with the few calories they need to function.
This leads to loss of muscle mass, which in turn lowers your metabolism (the rate at which your body burns calories/fat.
Your body can now function on fewer calories while your fat loss slows. When you can’t handle a low-calorie diet any longer (which is the case in most cases) after your caloric intake returns to normal, you gain fat more easily because of your low muscle mass and slow metabolism.
Instead focus on eating whole natural foods, protein (chicken, fish, eggs), good carbs (complex carbs like fruits and vegetables), plenty of fiber and some Healthy fats (fish oil, olive oil).
Also, avoid calorie-rich drinks and alcohol and drink water and green tea instead.
Get active with fat burning workouts
Without exercise you can lose some fat but you will not be able to get a toned body. Instead you will be small and wobbly.
Achieving a slim, toned body requires a commitment to regular exercise. If you start a diet that doesn’t provide you with enough energy or fuel to exercise, it’s a sure sign that you won’t get long-term results. However, if your diet plan requires you to exercise excessively, it is not practical to maintain it.
Exercise should fit into your life and allow you to do the things you enjoy.
keep your workouts exciting
Only one exercise will not remove all your belly fat. Doing cardio for hours and hours will help you lose some fat (maybe?!) but won’t get rid of that stubborn belly fat, just like doing thousands of sit ups won’t help you lose belly fat . You see, the human body adapts very quickly to whatever we throw at it. If You Don’t Give Your Body a Reason to Change, It Won’t Happen
Variety will keep your body guessing and maximize your fat-burning efforts. Combine strength training with core conditioning, interval training and body weight circuits to really fire up your fat-burning furnace, boost your metabolism and burn belly fat. It’s a myth that lifting weights will put on a woman’s weight, you don’t have enough of the hormones needed to build muscle.
Even men find it difficult to gain muscle and this is something that you have to work very hard to achieve, be it a man or a woman.
Increase the intensity of your workouts
I see this at the gym, there are always all kinds of people coming in and doing the same workout routine time after time and a year later their bodies still look the same.
They sit there on the bike reading their books or newspapers and thinking their belly fat will magically come down, or do 10 repetitions of bicep curls, talk to their teammates, stand for about 2 minutes and then hit the stability ball Do one set of crunches. You are kidding yourself if you think this kind of workout will get rid of your belly fat.
Research has shown that very brief and difficult high-intensity workouts such as interval training and metabolic circuits are surprisingly effective at burning stubborn belly fat.
This workout technique continues to burn calories and fat for up to 36 hours after the workout is over, and that’s something you won’t get from slower, longer workout sessions.
Cut down on your workout time and lose more belly fat
You don’t have to spend hours and hours working out; There are many ways you can get a full workout in half the time.
For example, when circuits and super sets are used in weight training. A superset is two different exercises for opposing muscle groups that are completed without resting in between. (For example: bodyweight squats and press-ups)
Just do one exercise, followed by another, without resting in between. Both methods add intensity to your workout, and cut your workout time in half.
