Who loves crunch after crunch to burn unwanted belly fat? What if there was a way to drop the extra padding around the waist without doing sit-ups or crunches. Is there really a way to get a flat stomach without endless sit-ups? Yes it is and I am going to tell you about proven methods.
First, belly fat is a storage site for excess calories. Stored calories are actually fat cells that have accumulated around the site and have not yet been burned. It’s time to do away with the age-old method of spot reduction. Doing back straining sit-ups will not work.
We should look at excess fat around our middle as systemic. This means that extra fat around our waist is a sign that we are carrying extra fat all over our body as well. So we should look to burn fat systematically from our body and belly fat will reduce.
To successfully reduce belly fat, we need to change both our eating and exercise habits. Here are proven ways to burn belly fat fast without sit-ups and crunches.
Jumpstart Your Fat Burning Metabolism With 15 Minutes Of Cardio Every Morning
What you do when you first wake up in the morning will have a serious impact on reducing belly fat for the rest of the day. Set a right tempo, and everything else will fall into place. The best way to wake up your sluggish metabolism in the morning is to get some exercise.
You don’t need to run a “mile” to accomplish this. Our bodies are extra sensitive to the effects of morning exercise. The important thing is to keep moving and moving long enough to get our heart rate up and get a good sweat going.
Try a circuit style calisthenics routine of push-ups, jumping jacks, jumps squats or briskly walk, jog, or run around your local block. The key is to do exercises that use a large percentage of your body mass at one time. This will trigger belly fat burning after effect.
Plus, this morning exercise will naturally reduce the total amount of calories you’ll crave for the rest of the day. This is due to the burning of the increased fat produced in your body. You won’t feel hungry when you’re burning body fat for energy.
Have a nutritious, high-protein breakfast with fiber within an hour of waking
This is a powerful one-two punch for burning belly fat. Eating a healthy, high-protein breakfast with fiber within an hour of waking up sets the tone for the rest of your day. Skipping breakfast will cause already low blood sugar levels to drop. The end result is extreme hunger pangs, which leads to overeating.
Even if you are not hungry, this is the best time to eat because you will not eat as much. Trust me, you will definitely cut down on sugar cravings for the rest of the day by exercising in the morning and then having a high protein breakfast. Your body will now be burning fat for energy.
There are lots of great high protein options for breakfast. What you eat is not that important as long as you make sure it is not junk food. Avoid highly processed foods as they contain empty calories. Make sure it’s nutritious. Have a banana, a glass of skim milk and a slice of whole grain toast.
Of course, this is just one example. There are too many options to list. It all depends on your taste. By doing a little online research, you can choose healthy, delicious meals that contain high protein, high fiber ingredients. But as long as you stick to natural, unprocessed foods, you can’t go wrong.
eat four to six times a day
This may seem impossible for the average busy body. But if you’re serious about burning belly fat, it’s important to eat more often. When you eat only 2 or 3 times a day, you tend to overeat. This extra food at a time overloads your digestive system.
More calories than your body needs in any one meal will be stored as fat in your body. When you eat more frequently, you keep your blood sugar levels stable, and this leads to greater control over your appetite.
You will also be sure that the calories you consume will be used by your body. Proper intake of foods is important for effective belly fat loss. You will have less flatulence and will also feel less hungry. Make sure you drink plenty of water in between meals to stay hydrated.
By combining all three of the above tips together, you should see a significant reduction in your belly fat within 3 weeks. As long as you keep up with your morning cardio and have a nutritious breakfast, along with those 4-6 balanced meals, you’ll be on your way to getting a flat stomach in no time.
