That just needs to be said straight up front.
When you go on any sort of diet losing the belly fat is usually the toughest part.
Particularly as we age, losing belly fat is tough.
We don't put on belly fat overnight.
It is something that "grows" on us over time.
We overeat and don't get enough exercise and the belly fat just seems to accumulate.
Getting it off involves changing your diet and your activity level.
If you are not in a position to change your activity level, the key is to eat less than your body is burning.
So you will have to change your diet.
Below are three tips to show you how to lose belly fat: 1.
Try to cook your meals at home as compared to eating out at a lot of restaurants.
The problem with eating out at restaurants is that they give you such huge portions and before you know it you are eating 1000 calorie meals.
When you cook at home, you know exactly what you are eating and you can control your portion sizes.
If you are going to eat out at a restaurant, order more salads and fresh fruit.
Watch how much you eat.
You don't have to clean the plate.
2.
Drink lots of water.
It's always good to drink lots of water but when you are trying to lose belly fat it is imperative that you put that water into your system.
It is suggested that you drink 8-10 large glasses of water per day.
You'll have lots more energy and will be able to control your hunger better.
Green Tea is also good to drink; especially before a walk or a bike or a work out.
Green Tea has fat burning chemicals in it.
3.
Don't let yourself get hungry.
This is really important in wanting to lose belly fat.
Don't ever let yourself get hungry.
What happens is that if you do, your body goes into this type of starvation mode and holds on to all the fat.
Your metabolism slows and so does the fat burning.
But one needs to remember, when you are hungry, watch what you reach for.
Don't make a poor food choice or overeat.
The best ways to keep yourself from getting hungry are:
- Eat a small portion, balanced meal or snack every 2-3 hours
- Eat high fiber foods
- Eat protein with each meal and/or snack
- Eat something small before you start to get hungry
- Consider, but consider it with your physician, using an appetite suppressant
Just don't give up after a week.
And remember, incorporating walking or biking into your daily routine will only help.
It will also be good for your heart.
