Vegetarian Weight Loss Tips for Women - How to Lose Belly Fat Fast

     Including exercises in your vegetarian weight loss plan is a smart move. But if you're making hours for exercising despite your busy schedules but yet your scale doesn't move much and your pants are still tight, then something must have gone wrong with your vegetarian weight loss diet plan. Let's take a look at what you should do with your workouts first and what kind of exercises will help you lose belly fat fast and burn more belly fat than any other exercises.

Vegetarian Weight Loss Tip #1 - Do Interval Training - Not Cardio

Cardio is an aerobic exercise that you do for hours at slow - moderate pace with an intensity level where you can still talk. It does burn fat but only during the exercise bout. Once you stop, the fat-burning effect stops.

Yes, you'll definitely lose belly fat with cardio, but where do you get so many hours to spare for cardio exercises? Also, after shedding some pounds you'll hit a plateau. Thereafter, no matter how long you do, you'll just keep to that weight and size - no more, no less.

Interval training is what you should go with. Not only it'll lose more belly fat than cardio, but it takes only 30 - 45 minutes a day, 3 times a week to achieve better result at faster rate.

Here's what you'll do in interval training - you'll do an 8 / 10 intensity exercise on a hard pace for about 30 seconds followed by an "active rest" of 3 / 10 intensity exercise for 60 seconds and then repeat for 3 intervals. How long are you taking?

Only 4.5 minutes, plus a 3-minute must-do exercise each for warm-up and cool-down, you spend only less than 11 minutes in total for the day. And you're done. The fat-burning effect will last longer than when you're doing cardio for 1 - 2 hours (even cardio trainers agree with that).

Nothing beats interval training when it comes to losing belly fat. It's particularly more effective for vegetarians since vegetarians bear a superior overall body constitution for efficient fat-burning response.

But as you just saw, interval training involves short burst high-intensity workout routine, so you must get a certified personal trainer to guide you along to avoid any potential injuries.

Vegetarian Weight Loss Tip #2 - Bodyweight Vs Dumbbell Exercises

Who says doing light dumbbell exercises with more repetitions will burn more fat fast?

If you want to boost your metabolism for maximum fat loss, you should do bodyweight exercises instead, such as pushups (or kneeling pushups if you're just getting started and have not built the strength to perform standard pushup yet), total body ab exercises, and leg sculpting moves.

Vegetarian Weight Loss Tip #3 - Crunches Can't Lose Belly Fat

Total body ab exercises work much more efficient than crunches.

You can use mountain climbers, spiderman climbs, side planks, cross-body mountain climbers etc. These will make a stronger impact and produce faster 6-pack ab results with less time (each exercise will probably take you only 20 seconds to 1 minute).

Tip for Muscle Toning - Most women fear to bulk up their muscles, so they heed the wrong advice and start using light weight to do more reps (thus, wasting more precious hours). The truth is, you can use the slightly heavier dumbbell (based on your strength) to firm up your muscle without bulking up. The trick lies in doing fewer repetitions. You save more time but get even firmer result.

Vegetarian Weight Loss Tip #4 - the Effective Weight Loss Diet Plan for Vegetarians

Interval training is effective in burning belly fat, but without a proper vegetarian weight loss diet plan, your workout will only yield minimal result. Here's what you should do with your weight loss diet to maximize belly fat loss.

Try to prepare every weight loss meal yourself so you can control the quality and know exactly what you're eating. Go with raw vegetarian diet for best result. Not used to full raw? Half raw with minimal cooking and sauteing work fine too. Search online for an effective vegetarian weight loss diet plan if you need help in getting one.

Increase the number of meals to 5 or 6 but in smaller portions, which include light snacks such as whole grain crackers or small bowl of oatmeal to give your metabolism a boost, so that your body will continue to burn fat throughout the day. But bear in mind, in your main meals (i.e. breakfast, lunch and dinner), fill your stomach to only 70% full. Snacks should only give you a 30 - 40% satiety level.
