This article will give you some great tips on how cut to belly fat with cardio and healthy snacks. The cardio exercises are fast, easy, and something you should be doing. If you are looking for a new outlook on things, this may be just the thing. Give these tips a try and I think you'll see some fast results.
Here's How to Cut Belly Fat
Do intervals of running hard and walking
Long and steady runs eat away at the muscles of the body. Just take a look at any long distance runner. Now, I hope you don't want to lose muscle. You need muscles because they are up to 8 times more metabolically active than fat. So, to put it another way, one pound of muscle burns up to 8 times more calories than one pound of fat.
And that's without doing anything. So, you can probably understand the importance of muscles for burning fat. The whole point I'm trying to make is that you don't want to lose the muscles you already have. But you don't need to go pack on a bunch of muscles.
Intervals of cardio exercise that have bursts of high intensity followed by active rests are excellent because they burn fat like crazy, but don't eat up the muscles you already have. And a bonus to this kind of exercise is that your body will burn fat for hours afterward.
You won't get those kinds of results from jogging.
So, whether you run on a treadmill or outdoors, run about as hard as you can for 10-15 seconds and then immediately go into a slow jog or walk for about 30-45 seconds. Keep this up for no more than 20 minutes
If you run really hard during the 10-15 second high intensity intervals, 10 minutes should be enough to get some significant fat loss. Try to do this at least 3 times every week.
This exercise is just about the best way to cut belly fat with cardio.
Healthy Diet Snacks
I want to tell you about some of the best diet snacks for dropping weight. These are snacks you'll learn to love because they taste good and are very healthy for you. Just keep reading if you want to find out what they are.
What you eat between meals affects your weight loss just as much as what you eat for meals, so read below if you want to lose weight and learn to keep it for good.
Healthy Diet Snacks
Apples
Apples are something you should eat 2 or 3 of every single day. I personally like bananas more than apples, but I choose to eat more apples because each apple contains 5 grams of fiber. Fiber is one of the major keys in losing weight.
Get it into your diet any way you know how.
Apples also contain very little calories, but at the same time fill your stomach.
String Cheese
String cheese is full of protein. It's packed with protein and also has very few calories. This makes it one the best snacks you can reach for. They also fill you up. So, try to eat 1 at least one string cheese each day.
Yogurt
You definitely want to make sure the yogurt you eat is a low calorie yogurt . While yogurt contains more carbohydrates than protein, the protein contained in the yogurt actually neutralizes the carbohydrates and prevents them from spiking your blood sugar levels.
Yogurt also makes you feel full and the wide variety of flavors will keep you from getting sick of it.
You can pick these up for less than 35 cents at most grocery stores. Try to eat at least one yogurt per day.
Those are 3 great diet snacks that will help you lose weight and keep it off.
