Why Weight

The Truth About How to Lose Belly Fat

By Liz A. Langley

How to lose belly fat is by far the most frustrating weight issue faced by many women and men.
Not a day goes by that we do not see the famous and glamorous showing off their toned torsos and leave the rest of us feeling inadequate. If you are struggling with excess fat on your stomach and you want to know how to get rid of it then this article is for you.

To begin with we must face the facts. The unavoidable fact is that there exists no instant cure for belly fat. Diet pills may help in the short term but they cannot give a strong, toned tummy.

In order to lose belly fat permanently you need to combine exercise and diet. The only way to get a fat free, toned stomach is to eat a healthy diet and take up training of a cardiovascular and resistance nature. If you get this right losing your excess stomach weight won't be a struggle.

Don't think, for a second, that losing fat around your middle is easier for some than others or that you can't do it. The important point that you must remember is that you need to decrease the amount of calories that you consume on a daily basis. If you reduce your calorie intake to be less than that your body burns, you will lose weight. In order to lose 1lb of fat a week you need to consume 3,500 calories less, the equivalent of 500 a day.

There is a limit on how far you should go in reducing your intake of calories. A large reduction in your calorific intake can result in your system adopting starvation mode, which means it stores fat ! A modest reduction in your calorific intake combined with an exercise program can lead to a dramatic decrease in your weight and belly !

Regular walks, runs, swims or bike rides are the sort of cardiovascular exercises you need for weight loss. Weight resistance exercises should also be used on alternative days to help to tone and strengthen your muscles. Your local gym would advise you what exercise routine would be best for you.

The combination of gym and road work will make your fat belly a thing of the past.

Your diet should never include soda drinks, junk food or anything else with a high sugar or fat content.What should be the mainstay of your new lifestyle are fruit, vegetables and fish.

Don't view this shift in your lifestyle as a huge task, take it one step at a time, modest exercise and the right diet will have physical and psychological effects that you can hardly imagine.
