Weight Loss Methods To Reduce Belly Fat

Walking is a basic exercise that allows your legs, back and core muscles to support you as you walk. It also causes your heart to beat faster, your lungs to take in more oxygen and your muscles to burn more fat calories. There sre some basics rules that apply. First, it is highly suggested that you keep the duration low, not more that fifteen to twenty minutes if you are just getting started. Second, try to do some walking daily, which is why you don't want to do too musch too soon. You should try to increase the duration of your walk about five additional minutes each week. Finally, observe your heart rate, keep it in the low to moderate intensity zone, this allows for your body to use more oxygen as you walk. Oxygen burns fat, decreased oxygen results in fatigue too quickly and only burns sugar.

Eat smaller meals that will satisfy your hunger. Foods such as green vegetables, high fiber grains and cereals should be consumed. Lean sources of protein along with two snacks of fruits or nuts should round out about five to six meals per day. Ideally you want to space your meals about three to four hours apart. When you look at the meal it should be high in fiber and protein, low in sugar and saturated fats. This type of eating will allow your body to burn more fat. It will also balance your blood sugar levels throughout the day. The last thing you want to do is consume a diet high in foods that will be easily absorbed and stored as excess body fat. Low protein, high carbohydrate processed foods will be easily stored as fat if you are not exercising enough to use those calories.

Water is the next must do to reduce your belly fat. Drink water often throughout the day to flush your system of toxins where most of the fat is stored on your body and in your belly. If you wait until you are thirsty you are already dehydrated. Try to drink between eight and ten glasses per day. Water also keeps you feeling full so you are less likely to over eat or crave sweets. Drink the water in between meals to keep you feeling full. Do not drink the water with your solid meals. Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly to enchance digestion and absorption.

Finally, do some strength training to elevate the rate at which your body burns fat. Nothing strenuous, just enough to feel a burn in your muscles for each of the major muscle groups in your body. This does more for you than just doing a lot of sit-ups or crunches. Work your midsection as you would any other body part.
Performing some weight lifting twice a week is ideal at first. Allow for two days rest between lifting if you are just getting started.

Do these four things consistently for the rest of your life. It will become a habit after a few weeks and you will not have to return to this stage again. You can move on to reshaping your entire physique. The idea is to build your best body and keep it functioning optimally for as long as you have it!
