Stomach Fat Reduction

     Losing belly fat is one of the most challenging tasks a dieter has to face. Belly fat differs from the fat in the rest of the body. Belly fat is the common problem in men and women alike. Both men and women tend to start developing it after the age of 30, mainly due to lack of nutrients, minerals and vitamins in today's modern diets, and inability to absorb them from foods loaded with unhealthy additives.

1. Only working out your abs muscles will not help you burn your stomach fat. Instead, focus on strengthening all the core muscles of your body, which include muscles of hands, back and legs. Working out your entire body works far better for fat loss than concentrating all your efforts on the stomach fat. Whole body work out burns more calories than only working upon abs muscles for burning stomach fat. Go for aerobics or cardio exercises which ensure toning of entire body.

2. MUFAs, while healthy, should be eaten as part of a moderate fat diet, and portion control is important. Aim to keep all fats at around 20 percent to 35 percent of your total daily calorie intake. That's from 45 to 75 grams of fat, based on a 2,000 calorie intake. When used as the primary source of fats in a healthy diet, MUFAs will help you to lose belly fat and look and feel better.

3. Well-balanced, healthy meals give a variety of essential nutrients. Good nutrition helps support a healthy weight, properly absorb nutrients and for overall wellness.

4. Changing how you eat. Consume fresh, organic small meals that will be very easy to burn off, but at the same time, will nourish your body, keep you satisfied and give your metabolism a quick boost.

5. Starvation slows down your metabolism. It causes feeling of deprivation and it leaves you tired and listless. Besides it puts the body in a "starvation mode" and any food that you consume is immediately stored by the body in the form of fat. Another reason why you should'n starve yourself is called cortisol. Starvation is a stressful phenomenon for most people and it triggers the overproduction of cortisol in the body. This, in turn, leads to increased deposition of abdominal fat in the midsection of the body. In other words the more you starve yourself, the more cortisol is produced and the more belly fat is deposited. Yes, the body has its weird laws.

6. As mentioned before, the main cause of stomach flab is a sedentary lifestyle. Hence, make sure you find time for physical activities in your busy schedule. Simple things such as taking stairs instead of an elevator, wherever possible, will help you lose belly fat. Similarly, while at work, get out of your cubicle and walk a few paces around. Repeat this procedure at least 5-6 times a day.

7. Speed up your metabolism by eating 5 or 6 times a day. Now by 5-6 times a day I don't mean 5-6 healthy portions of your favorite pasta . I mean small healthy snacks including veggies, fruits, fish, chicken.
