Belly Fat Reduction

Ever wonder why your pilling on lots of subcutaneous and visceral fat?? 

Find out the main reasons as to what causes belly fat...

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;


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.

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.

As a rule of thumb you should be cutting out all carbohydrates after 7 o’clock in the evening provided you’re going to bed at around 11 or 12 o’clock. 

This will ensure that when you settle down in the evening that no excess energy from food is being stored as fat as a result of being sedentary.

Obviously, you are more than likely going to eat something in this time period so I would recommend perhaps chicken or fish along with some green vegetables like asparagus, broccoli or mangetoute.

Personally I always get hungry if I don’t eat something within an hour of going to bed. Consequently, I always opt for some cottage cheese or even 2 egg whites due to the lack of Calories and energy in these foods. Also, these foods are high in protein which prevent muscle breakdown and help recovery from exercise.

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

Stay well clear of these foods after 7 o'clock in the evening to prevent Belly fat storage!




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.

         





Surprisingly, not all fats are bad for Belly Fat Reduction. 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!

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

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 to Burn Fat Fast

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

If you tend to hang out with a group who regularly throughout the week head out on the town drink, smoke and cap the night of with some greasy Fast Food then the chances are you are going to do the same and this of course will ruin any chances you have of trying to get rid of belly fat.

With this said it is certainly worth your while reflecting on some of the people who you are surround by everyday and establish whether or not their bad lifestyle habit are rubbing off of you. After all “you become the company you keep”.

Perseverance

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