When you think about going on a diet and exercising to lose belly fat, you might assume it would be some sort of boot camp for you. No more junk food, no more eating at fast food restaurants, no chocolate treats for dessert, no munchies during a Friday night movie. Sure, you can trim down and build muscles faster if you follow a strict diet. But you can still work your way to a healthier version of yourself while you enjoy your favorite foods.
Here you will find a brief list of things you can do to eat healthier and better even when you're out dining with friends or enjoying take-out at home with family:
1. Grilled options are almost always better than fried ones.
2. Learn how to spot a fake salad.
A plain grilled beef burger on a dry bun with lettuce and tomatoes can actually be healthier than a salad that is swimming in dressing and loaded with deep fried shrimps or chicken strips.
3. Create your very own sub or pizza at home or at your favorite fast food joint.
4. Fresh fruits will never fail you.
So-called healthy smoothies are not as good as they are cracked up to be. Most are made with artificial powders. What's worse is that they add syrup, cream, and other deadly fillers as flavor enhancers and extenders that won't help you lose belly fat at all. Take your fruits fresh and whole whenever you can, and treat yourself to a fresh smoothie once in a while.
5. Mayonnaise should be avoided at all times.
You can certainly survive without having any mayo in your food. If you really want to lose belly fat, you will stay away from this deadly white stuff at all cost. You won't need the extra calories and unhealthy fat, that's for sure. If you need a condiment fix, stick to some mustard and ketchup instead.
Just remember two things - portion control and go for healthier alternatives as much as possible. In doing so, you can still lose belly fat effectively without having to give up dining out.
