Belly Fat Reduction... Many factors can contribute to one gaining an excessive, un-healthy body fat percentage around the Belly and other regions of the body including the hips, chest, arms, thighs, back and even face.



These factors can, simply, be broken down into 3 categories in order of most-least important;

                        --Diet--    --Exercise--     --lifestyle--

It is only when one losses balance of these three elements that they start to put on undesired Fat.

Your Balance should always be according to your Goals whether you wish to lose weight or maintain your current weight.

Case Study: Kate

Background:

Kate is in her twenties and is just about to leave college to start working in the city. She is physically very active as she plays Hockey three times a week which means she is fortunate to have a fast metabolism that uses food as energy as oppose to storing it as subcutaneous and visceral fat. As a result, she can afford to eat pretty much what she likes (within reason). At the moment, she is content with her body and has for Belly Fat Reduction.

When Kate starts working at her demanding job in the city, she decides quit Hockey and focus on her job. Now, with no exercise and her previous eating habits she is unable to maintain her desirable figure and slowly begins to put on weight. Kate loses her BALANCE!

Solution:

Kate must either regain her old exercise routine or change her diet in order to rid Belly Fat that she has aquired and obtain the weight that she was content with.  

Diet to Lose Belly Fat:


         Eating Late night – This is a big No-No. What most people don’t understand is that surplus energy from food in the body is stored as Fat. Fats and Carbohydrates as oppose to protein are in high energy.

So, these foods, especially late at night will be stored as fat instead of being used as energy because your very inactive and uses little energy (from sleeping!) late at night. [Carbs for Fat Loss....]


         High G.I foods – These are foods which promote short spikes of energy follow by a severe dip in energy. This dip can result in us having a craving for the same high G.I food stuffs throughout the day which can lead to our bodies having excess energy and as a result storing the extra energy as Fat.

Low G.I foods are a better option as they they release energy slowly and don’t settle as fat as much.

Examples of High G.I foods: pasta, white breads, potatoes, sugary foods(biscuits, chocolate, cakes) etc.

Examples of Low G.I foods: wholegrain bread/pasta/rice, oats, wetabix, green veg

Causes of Belly Fat
         High in Saturated Fat Foods - Obviously foods like burgers, fries, pizza and anything fried are bad for weight loss as there is a dangerously high content of fat in these foods.

         



Lack of Healthy Fats -
Surprisingly, not all fats are bad for weightloss. Infact, a good dose of Fats high in monounsaturated and low in saturated fat can help to speed up weight loss, curb cravings, increase energy and improve overall health! [Eat Fat to lose Fat! Read more...]

It is imperative though that the right amount for you is established so that you can effectively reach you weightloss goal.

Exercise to Reduce Belly Fat:


          Your doing too much!! - Overdoing it is such a common occurrence when you are desperately trying to Rid Belly Fat. This comes from emotions such as anger and frustration which make you unable to think logically. As a result you push yourself as hard as possible when doing your exercise to lose belly fat at a pace that is totally unmaintainable over a prolonged period of time.

When you give up this ludicrous intensity when exercising and see little results it usually results in despair and overall resentment of losing weight. To these unfortunate people I say consistent low/moderate exercise is the best! 

Lifestyle:


            Mind the company you keep - It is no myth that your family, friends and co-workers do have an influence on your health.

            Rest and Recovery...


Perseverance

“Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.”

Persevere with a good Diet, Persevere with effective Exercise and you WILL prevail...
