Why Weight

The Gudelines in Order to Burn Stomach Fat

By Brendan Harris


The basic principle behind burning body fat is to use more calories per day than you intake, and to burn stomach fat you need to employ the same strategy. For example, if you require 3000 calories a day to perform your daily tasks and you intake only 2500 calories then your body must break down the fat reserves in your body to retrieve the necessary calories required for that day's tasks. Conversely if you intake 3500 calories on that particular day then your body will convert the extra 500 calories into body fat and store it for later consumption.

Let's explore these scenarios further. In the first example we had a 500 calorie a day deficit to fill. Since there are roughly 3500 calories in each pound of body fat, you could lose a pound of fat a week by this process (500 cal/day x 7 days/week = 3500 calories or 1 lb body fat). That would put you well on your away to achieving your goal to burn stomach fat. Conversely, if you are consuming 500 extra calories a day in one week you could gain a pound of body fat.

Using our established principle let's maximize our weight loss potential. We want to boost the amount of calories required a day and lower our caloric intake. One of the best ways in which to boost your metabolism is exercise. The 2 major types of exercise are cardio-vascular and weight-training. Used in conjunction they can significantly raise your metabolism rate. After a one-hour cardio session the body will continue to burn calories for about an hour before stabilizing and a one-hour weight-training session will cause your body to continue burning fat for up to 24 hours!

Using these guidelines you can begin to track your caloric intake versus your metabolism rate and make changes to help turn your body into a fat-burning machine, helping you burn stomach fat. Here is a simple chart to help gauge where you may be right now:

Physical Activity - Caloric Needs

Office job-stationary 8-10 hours a day - 1900-2300 calories

Retail job-mobile 4-6 hours a day - 2200-2500 calories

Construction-mobile 8-10 hours a day - 2500-2900 calories

While managing your daily caloric intake is the guiding principle behind shedding unwanted body fat, it should be done responsibly. With a small amount of research you can find diet & exercise programs that are both enjoyable and effective. If you have specialized needs for diet or physical activity, your family physician is an invaluable resource for helping you get on the right track.
