Lose Belly Fat Within Weeks Using Proven Fat Loss Methods
Forget the fads, and forget what you’ve heard elsewhere; you obviously want to know how to lose belly fat because you still have belly fat, and therefore, the other methods have failed you. Right?
Don’t fear, it’s all relatively simple. It’s just a shame there is so much misinformation out there which make a big and complex issue over something so straight forward. Luckily that’s why my website is here, to cut through the crap.
Without trying to offend, belly fat is perhaps the most embarrassing and unsightly… well… sight, on the human physique. Also, when one wishes to lose weight, it always seems to be that losing belly fat is the biggest problem, and most simply give in.
First of all, there are things you should know about before embarking on any fat loss program, and those things are:
• Do not starve yourself to lose belly fat. This will only make your body go into starvation mode whereby it will fight to conserve fat, making your task 100 times harder.
• Doing sit-ups, crunches or any other abdominal exercise will NOT enable you to lose belly fat as a result; you can’t target areas in which to lose fat, it simply doesn’t work that way.
• Which foods you absolutely must stay away from (Yup, you need to sacrifice if you are going to lose belly fat.)
• You need to understand how the body stores fat, and why you are having such a hard time getting rid of your belly fat.
• You’ll need to be willing to either adhere to a strict diet, or count calories on a daily basis… slacking and overeating is why you have belly fat to begin with, after all.
• Most adults have belly fat, even those who don’t overeat… and the reason is they are lacking the final killer touch to remove those last few lbs of stubborn body fat… a special exercise regime – which I am going to give you…
Right, the main, and the first thing you need to understand is calories in, and calories out. People get fatter because they eat over the amount of calories that they are burning, and also because the fatter and older a person gets, the slower their metabolism becomes, thus making it even easier to pile on and store fat… so you’ve got to get on top of this.
You need to find out what is known as your ‘calorie maintenance level’. In order for you to stay the same weight you are now, you have to be feeding your body the same amount of food (calories) consistently. It would be impossible for you to be doing anything other than this. For instance, if you were feeding yourself more than your maintenance, you’d be going up in weight; less, you’d be losing weight.
If your weight is consistently the same, that means you are eating at a calorie maintenance level, and all you need to do is consistently eat less; I’d shoot for around 500 calories a day less, to start things off, and see how that goes over the course of a few weeks. I’m 99.9% certain you’ll experience good fat loss in doing this.
Right, the next thing you need to understand, which will make your task of losing fat one hell of a lot easier is, to stay away from simple carbs (aka sugars), largely found in processed foods, biscuits, cakes and cereals. Unfortunately, they are the biggest culprit in fat gain. Why? Because unless they are immediately burned off, they are stored as fat almost straight away.
Ok, so you’re avoiding sugars, and you are consistently eating less calories a day. Your stomach and the rest of your body fat is beginning to disappear, and after a while just when you think the belly is soon going to be gone forever, you hit a block, and it just seems the stomach won’t yield another mm of fat.
Now, you’ve got to turn it up a bit. Like I’ve said, most adults have stomach fat… but that is because most adults don’t keep a check on their diet and exercise. Doing one or the other is better than doing neither, but doing both is 100 times better than doing one, and in the battle against your belly fat, you can’t pull any paunches, err sorry, I mean punches.
The reason your belly fat still exists is simple: your belly is the first place fat is stored, and it is the last place it’ll be stored when you try to get rid of it; and the toughest place to fight fat.
The final ingredient in this relatively simple process is the right exercise regime. How much exercise? Well, that’s easy – however much it takes to continually reduce your belly fat. But, for a starter, I’d advocate 30 minutes cycling (preferably on a stationary exercise bike, so you aren’t stopping at every crossing or junction) 3 times a week, with a days rest in between each, at a pace which keeps your heart rate at between 130-140 BPM (beats per minute).
This is the optimum rate for which to burn fat by raising the metabolism, and, I believe 3 days a week for 30 minutes at a time is a good place to start. Eventually if you begin to stop losing fat, you should increase the days during which you cycle.
And there you have it, now, if that doesn’t help you lose belly fat, then nothing will!
