Losing fat anywhere else on the body is the same as losing belly fat.
Spot reducing fat in one area of your body isn’t realistic. Consider your body fat as a swimming pool with a deep end and a shallow end, as it’s going to take the deep end longer to empty.
A proper diet is the only way for you to lose belly fat permanently. You are what you ate.
The amount of sugar and salt contained in processed foods are enough to damage a diet.
By continuing to consume these high calorie and less nutritious foods, you will never lose your belly fat. No matter how much exercise you do. The definition of insanity is to continue doing the same thing and expect a different result. STOP THE INSANITY!
If you consider that our bodies have evolved, over thousands of years, to grow and develop on natural foods, it will start to make sense why all these boxed and processed foods have caused people to get fatter and fatter as they get older and acquire all the other symptoms you can think of that are referred to as age-related diseases.
Consider that your fat stores are your body’s toxic dumping grounds for all the crap it can’t use and that it is on you, dragging you down and holding you back. It’s pretty hard to accumulate belly fat if you have a diet of clean natural food and you don’t consume more than your body can use at one meal.
The body can only take so much for so long before it gives up the ghost and starts exhibiting various deteriorating symptoms. Like large deposits of belly fat.
The reason that it’s so hard to eat correctly, and lose belly fat, is that we have unconsciously developed bad eating habits. People usually eat because the food tastes good rather than eat for nutrition. In other words people tend to “live to eat” as opposed to “eat to live.” By the way, eating healthy doesn’t have to taste bad and be boring. The road to losing your belly fat is all about changing those things that you are presently doing that got you where you are.
Remember this: It is not possible to out train a bad diet. Note that it is very easy to consume a thousand calories in just a few minutes.
It will take hours or days of work to burn that off, and in the meantime, you will put down another thousand or so calories.
Those kinds of calories are always bad food, calorie dense and nutritionally poor. Food that is high in nutrition is usually low in calories such as fresh vegetables.
So you want to know how to lose belly fat? Here are the basic rules;
1) Every meal needs to consist of lean protein, simple and complex carbohydrates and good fat.
2) Determine your resting metabolic rate, based on your weight (lean mass) and your activity level, then consume 15% – 20% under that caloric requirement.
3) Burn more calories by exercising, preferably exercising to gain more muscle mass, as this will increase your metabolic rate and cause you to burn more calories.
4) Eat 5 – 6 meals per day, about every 3 hours. If you follow these very basic guidelines you should lose 1.5 lbs – 2 lbs a week of mostly fat. Remember, you want to build muscle and burn fat.
You will have to get a firm grip of your habits and train yourself for a healthier lifestyle.
This is all about conquering yourself.
If you try to lose weight (fat) too fast, it is very possible that you will gain it all back.
You will have to make sure that the control in weight loss is left in your hands, hence, the need for retraining. Pills and drastic diets are not the answers.
Learning to live your life differently is the main answer, and that will undoubtedly take time. The clock is ticking and doing things right the first time makes more sense.
