The Best Exercise to Lose Belly Fat

These days everyone is trying to find out how to burn fat. However, we must remember that it is also important to remain healthy while we burn that fat.

Whether you’re looking specifically to lose belly fat, or just want to generally get more in shape, here are some good tips to help you burn fat whilst staying healthy…

1. Not all fat is bad. Whilst many people who want to reduce body fat think that reducing all dietary fat is the key issue, it is really only Saturdated Fat we need to be concerned about. Other fats, such as Polyunsaturated Fat and Monounsaturated Fat are actually healthy fats, and are needed by the body to remain healthy. Fat will also help control your appetite.
2. Consider strength training at least twice a week for half an hour.  This means weight bearing exercises in the gym or on home equipment. Increased muscle mass means an increased metabolism, meaning you’re more likely to burn fat.
3. Reduce your intake of processed foods. Try to only eat foods that have a high nutrient value and have not been processed or had any additives added to them.
4. Incorporate cardio exercise into the your regime. Do 5 minutes of warm-up, then run for 1 minute fast, then  1 minute slow, and alternate like this until you have done 20 minutes.
5. Eat more often. Rather than 3 meals a day, try to eat 5 or 6 smaller meals spread throughout the day. This will keep your with weight reduction.
6. Try to exercise 3-4 times per week.
7. Increase your intake of protein, but make sure it is healthy protein. Try to stay away from meats with lots of saturated fat.
8. Try to find ways to make physical exercise fun, and try to incorporate physical activity into your daily life.
9. Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, as they contain the nutrients needed by your body for optimum performance.
10. Make sure you eat a balance of the following types of food at every meal: protein, carbohydrate, fat.
11. Drink plenty of water. Water not only flushes out toxins from your system, making you healthier, it makes you feel fuller which will cause you to eat less. When we feel hungry, we are often actually thirsty. So always reach for some water before you reach for the food.
12. Eat more fiber. Fiber helps to keep you feeling fuller for longer. It also flushes LDL cholesterol out of your body, and helps keep your digestive system in good working order.
13. Keep away from fast food. Fast food is definitely not the way to go if you want to lose belly fat or generally lose weight.
14. Eat slower. There is a 20 minute delay between your stomach feeling full and your brain getting the message that it is full. If you eat too fast, you will eat more than your body needs, making weight loss a far more difficult task.
15. Eat oily fish, which is high in Omega 3 fatty acid. This keeps your heart healthy and helps keep the bad fat out.
16. Exercise first thing in the morning, before breakfast, even if it’s just a brisk local walk. Exercise at this time will force the body to burn fat.
