500 Calories to a Flat Belly

So you want to lose belly fat in one week. It's much simpler than you think. One way to achieve this is to eat more. Yes, you read that right. You should eat more to lose more. Of course, there's more to that statement than meets the eye. It doesn't take a genius to know that eating more of the wrong stuff will result in weight gain. Seriously though, it is possible to eat more and still lose the extra fat, particularly around the stomach area.

Taking in small frequent meals is one way to do just that. Once adjusted to the smaller portions, your stomach capacity will also decrease in time, making you feel full faster, and limiting your overall food intake. On a short term capacity, choosing to eat five of six smaller meals in a day instead of three hefty meals will also help you digest more efficiently, making your stomach significantly flatter. It will also allow you to count calories more carefully. Since you are ingesting food in small batches, with the help of a food journal, you will be able to keep track of the number of calories you are actually consuming in a day. And once you hit your maximum allowable number of calories, you can opt not to have your last snack or mini meal in order to keep within the calorie limit you have set for yourself. Since you have presumably already had four or five mini meals before the last one, you won't need to worry about having taken in too little calories or nutrients for that day.

Ideally, in order to lose weight quickly and to lose belly fat in one week you should cut out about 500 calories from your average daily intake. If you really think about it, 500 calories isn't much, especially when you consider the amount of calories you save when you choose water over soda, or say no to that slice of pie after your meal. You can also easily cut calories by choosing not to snack in between meals, or if you do feel hungry, choosing to munch on vegetable sticks or fresh fruits instead of salty chips or flavoured popcorn.

For those who would rather workout than adjust their eating habits, there is a number of things that can be done throughout the day that will enable you to burn the extra fat. You could choose to take the stairs instead of the elevator, clean the house, walk faster in the grocery store, or take your dog for a walk. You could also go jogging, go for a swim or go biking. Not only will these activities help you lose belly fat in one week, they will also help you relax and develop a better disposition. Thanks to all the happy endorphins that exercise brings out. These little changes add up, and over the course of just a week, you are sure to start seeing positive results. If sustained, you are sure to have a flat belly and a trim figure in no time.
