Cardio activities whether it be going for a walk or a hike on a nice day, or spending some time on the elliptical in the gym, are the quickest way to burn fat all over your body, including your belly. Cardio raises your heart rate causing your body to look to its fat storage for energy. The longer your heart rate is within the fat burning zone the more calories of fat you will burn away.

3. Try not to skip meals. You should eat 5 to 6 small meals throughout the day verses one or two large meals. This keeps you from getting hungry and will help you lose belly fat much faster.

4. Choose the right carb food - the only carbohydrates that will not add fat to your belly are the complex carbohydrates such as whole-grain or whole-meal pasta, rice and bread. What you need to watch out are the add ons such as pasta and dairy sauces, butter and cheese. Stay away from simple carbs such as sugary foods (cakes, biscuits etc)

Drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water everyday is mandatory, therefore make it a point to drink the said quantity. Often times we eat, when we are actually hungry. Therefore, the next time you are hungry make sure you reach for a glass of water before you reach for a packet of junk food

The muscles near your belly fat do not necessarily burn more belly fat than other muscles in your body. The body works as a whole to obtain its energy needs. The more you work all your muscles, the greater amount of fat you will burn overall, including the fat around your waistline.
