Loose Belly Fat The Lazy Dieter's Way

By Jonathan A Parker


If you're looking to loose belly fat with the least amount of effort required, this article will give you some top tips for saving time and/or effort.

Foods you can prepare quickly

If you are looking to save some time on the preparation front, then there are certain foods that you should be eating regularly that are also extremely quick to prepare.

These can be classified into three types themselves; cold cooked food, raw foods, and processed foods.

Examples of cold cooked foods could include cooked chicken or turkey; both very lean meats that should be a part of everyone's diet. These could form a salad or just be eaten on their own. I usually have a chicken salad every lunch time as it only takes one minute to prepare in the morning before work.

Example of raw foods would be raw leafy vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, rocket etc. These all contain vital vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and should be eaten at every meal time. These raw examples provide a convenient alternative to other fibrous green vegetables that must be cooked such as sprouts and brocolli.

Example of processed foods that are suitable for eating when you're trying to loose belly fat are protein bars and protein shakes. These are very good sources of protein containing minimal carbohydrate and fats and although they shouldn't be relied on, can keep you going between meals if you don't have much time.

Eating the same thing

By eating the same foods regularly you can become a lot more efficient when trying to loose belly fat.

Time and effort can be saved in a number of different ways, including:

Shopping

You always buy the same food so you know where it is in the supermarket and don't have to waste time looking for it. To improve on this even more you could use online grocery shopping and just have a similar order placed for the same time every week

Preparation of food

When you make a small number of meals regularly, you are able to find quicker ways to do certain tasks involved. No need to learn new recipes, and when you have that special man or lady over to dinner, you've cooked your regular meals so many times that you have them absolutely mastered.

Psychologically

I've always found that I see considerably better results when trying to loose belly fat when I stop thinking about food as a treat or for enjoyment, and start to see it as necessary fuel for survival. When you make the same food over and over again, although it can still be very tasty, it's never a 'treat' as such and I find this helps reduce cravings for the 'bad' foods.

Not eating something in the first place

When trying to loose belly fat, there is one single thing you can do that is more powerful than any exercise or workout in the world, and that is not eating something in the first place.

The painful truth is that no workout or exercise plan can out-train a bad diet so in order to loose belly fat, you need to make sure that you don't put that food in your mouth in the first place.

Consider an example here - when you go jogging you burn around 150 calories per hour more than you would just sitting still. By working for 2 seconds on not putting the chocolate biscuit in your mouth, you can save yourself a whole hour or more of pointless jogging
