The Best Way to Lose Stomach Fat is to Avoid These Things

I know that you want to lose your belly and some of the other extra pounds of flesh that has been hanging loosely all around your body. I have got to tell you that one of the best ways to lose stomach fat is to avoid the following five things.

1. Avoid starving yourself. Many people want to slash their food intake to next too nothing. All this does is to cause the body to save the calories rather than burning them. If your body is not burning calories then it is burning muscle or at the very least breaking them down and that is not a good thing. It really is not how much you weigh as much as it is about having less body fat and more muscle mass. The more muscle you have the faster you metabolism works and the more calories you burn and the more you lose stomach fat.

2. Avoid eating so fast. This is one of my biggest problems because when I eat I woof it down as fast as I can. This causes a problem because my stomach gets way too full before my brain says stop eating. I am usually done ten to fifteen minutes before my wife because she talks in between mouthfuls. I, of course, listen as I eat and eat. (Okay, so I pretend to listen). Bottom line is that if you slow down when you eat you will actually eat less and that is a good thing.

3. Avoid eating processed food. Well, maybe not all together but for sure you probably need to cut back on all the store bought processed bread and cereal. You definitely need to have fiber in your diet and these processed foods have very little. Try some of the whole-grained breads and cereals along with wheat spaghetti and noodles. They actually taste pretty good and they will help you lose stomach fat.

4. Avoid all nighters. Do your best to get a full eight hours of sleep a night. Once you get into the habit it gets much easier. The same routine is important for you. I have learned that if I get up at the same time every morning and go to bed at the same time I have a much better day not only in the gym but also at work. It is a proven fact that the less sleep you get the higher insulin and glucose in your blood making for lousy metabolism for burning off the stomach fat.

5. Avoid too little water. I know that the avoid idea on this one is a stretch but it had to match the other four. You should be drinking at least 64 ounces of water each and every day. This should take place regardless if you are exercising that day or not. You need the water to flush your system of all the toxins and other trash you will find as your workouts break down the fat and your metabolism burns those unwanted calories. Water also helps you to digest the food you ingest and carries the nutrients to your muscles. Hey if your urine is a dark yellow you are not getting enough water you want it to be very very light yellow and clear is better.

So the bottom line is the best way to lose stomach fat is to avoid the things listed above and to put together a good nutritional and exercise program that helps you to lose that awful belly fat.
