Your body is your temple
so you want to keep it looking its very best, but sometimes, no matter how much
you diet and exercise, you simply can’t shift that excess belly fat!
It’s simply a matter of knowing
what to do, in this piece we look at what you need to do to lose belly fat
forever!
1. Exercise
Yes, we know you’ve heard it
all before but there’s a reason why you keep on hearing how good exercise is
for your body.
You need to make it a part of
everyday life and factor in at least 20 minutes of aerobic exercise every week.
Not only does it help to reduce
that belly fat, it makes you feel better all over, increases your fitness
levels (that means more energy) and gets you moving.

If you have a sedentary
lifestyle then building in exercise will definitely make the difference between
that pocket of fat and a leaner, trimmer tummy.
Try it, start slowly and ease
yourself into a routine, download a good fitness app and build up over a couple
of months.
You should start seeing an
improvement within just a few weeks.
2. Tone Your
Abs!
A flatter stomach is achievable
with exercise (as long as you combine it with a healthy diet).
If you’ve never tried sit-ups
or core exercises this one is definitely for you.
There are lots of workouts
available online or on YouTube that help you to tone up your tum.
Spending five minutes a day on
repetitive stomach exercises will trim down that fat and turn it into lean
muscle.
From sit-ups to crunches,
planks to Pilates, there are so many great toning exercises to try.
Start with a set of 15 stomach
crunches, then move into a 30 second plank, switch your plank to two side
planks (either side for 30 seconds) and go back into side twists (like a
stomach crunch but you twist your upper body from side to side with your
shoulders lifted away from the floor).
Finally, try bending your knees
and lifting them off the floor while reaching with your elbows to each knee
(side to side), right elbow to left knee, then switch left elbow to right knee.
Perform this exercise with your
upper body raised away from the floor.
Repeat five on each side.
3. Stop
Eating Carbs
One of the quickest ways to a
flatter stomach is by getting rid of “bad” carbs.
So, no more bread or pasta,
anything that contains gluten should be binned (the supermarkets are full of
gluten-free products nowadays), no more potato crisps, breadsticks or white
rice.
You can still eat carbs but
make them good carbs such as vegetables, whole fruits, lentils, peas, kidney
beans, most nuts and seeds and your wholegrain carbs such as pure oats, brown
rice and quinoa.
When you cut carbs out of your
diet, your body eventually reaches a state of Ketosis, so it burns off fat –
this is known as the Keto diet.

4. Drink
That Water!
Honestly – the best liquid to
drink is undoubtedly water and actually, upping your intake of H2O will help to
reduce your belly.
Contrary to popular belief, not
drinking water will bloat you out more and have you ever thought that the
excess belly fat is a combination of fat and bloating?
Water retention is the number
one cause of bloating.
Drinking at least 2 liters a
day of water will reduce water retention, get rid of toxins and impurities,
make you feel brighter and more energized but it will also make you feel fuller
for longer!
Water is your best friend when
it comes to trimming the fat.
Embrace it!
5. Think
About Liquid Calories
As well as food calories, there
are also liquid calories to consider and many people eat a healthy diet, even
exercise regularly but don’t think about their drinks!
A regular coke contains 139
calories if you consume three of those you’re already at almost 420 wasted
calories!
Combine that with sweetened
tea, sweetened coffee and adding full-fat milk and you’re on a roll!
Switching out full-fat milk for
skimmed, banishing the sugar and trading in your sugary drinks for water (which
you can sweeten just by adding natural fruit sliced up) is an easy win, try it
and see how lean your belly becomes.
6. Always
Eat Breakfast
Skipping breakfast is not the
answer to a skinnier, leaner tummy.
In fact, studies show that by
missing out on the most important meal of the day, you could increase your
weight rather than reduce it.
Actually, those that skip
breakfast tend to be larger than those that don’t.
It’s even better to eat small
portions more regularly, so split up your food intake into five different times
during the day, this also stops you snacking and helps you to stay fuller for
longer.
Just make sure they’re good
choices, lean meat, poultry (without the skin), fresh fish, lots of vegetables,
salad (without fatty dressings, try balsamic vinegar instead), fresh fruit, a
handful of nuts…just be controlled, there’s no need to go hungry.
7. Don’t Eat
After 7 Pm
We are not suggesting you never
go out for dinner, but when you’re eating at home with your family, or even
alone, be strict about when you have your last meal of the day.
That’s because if you eat late,
the body doesn’t have enough time to fully digest your meal before bed.
Unfortunately, the later you
eat, the more likely the food will turn into fat than be used as an energy source.
That’s why a big meal makes you
feel full and uncomfortable in the morning, it could also be the reason why you
don’t sleep as well as you should!
