How to get rid of belly fat

Get rid of belly fat

• To stop fat accumulating around the abdomen, engage in regular cardio exercise and eliminate refined processed carbohydrates from your diet (apart from the occasional treat). We cannot cope with these foods and they can cause excess belly fat. Refined processed carbohydrates are a major cause of weight gain, obesity, insulin resistance, body fat accumulating around the abdomen, diabetes type 2, and many diet related diseases. Replace those foods with 'fat burning' foods and make good use of the fat burning thermic effect of these foods. If you are unsure what either of these two food groups are, you will find a list of refined processed carbohydrates, and a list of fat burning foods, with more about the thermic effect of fat burning foods, further down this page, listed under Sources and Related Links.
  
  
• Many people believe exercises that target abs help to get rid of belly fat. However, most experts agree that there is no way to lose fat from that area of the body by doing only ab exercises. Ab exercises will make the muscles under your fat stronger but they will not get rid of the body fat. You will then look worse with bigger muscles under layers of fat. Also, try reading the caloric and carbohydrate labels on foods. For a sedentary (not active) lifestyle, eat only (or less than) 10 calories per pound of body weight to lose weight in general. The more activity exerted and fewer calories eaten will help with weight loss. However, you need to first get rid of belly fat by doing cardio exercises and improve your eating habits by eliminating or strictly limit refined processed carbohydrates.
  
  
• Practicing Yoga may help some people. There are poses that aim to remove superfluous fat from the stomach region. Linked to a customized healthy diet, as mentioned above, you may find solutions by practicing yoga. Sun salutations are a coordinated sequence of positions that precedes the actual asanas or a fully-fledged yoga session. Due to the nature of the Sun salutation movements, you may notice loss of weight after daily performance in a few days. Sun salutations also help to tone and build abdominal muscles. Other forms of yoga exercises useful in shedding weight from the stomach include the bow pose, the peacock pose and abdominal lifts. Do not attempt to do any of these poses if you happen to be under any form of ailment; check with your doctor.
