Getting Rid of Belly Fat – Lose Weight the Sensible Way

Taking the first step towards getting rid of belly fat is often one of the hardest decisions a person can make.  This decision requires a positive attitude that you have to stick by for more than a few day’s at a time.  It’s almost the same as giving up smoking in many ways, you have to break old habits and change your mind set.

You’ll find that once you start eating healthy there will a wealth of great benefits for your efforts. You will experience more energy,  a better attention span, more get up and go,  and all the things that are very important in keeping your body in shape. Having a healthy mind as well as body puts you in a great position in life to achieve any goals you have.

Unfortunately, many people give up after a few weeks as they become inpatient. Not because they are not seeing results but because they think they should be losing it faster. It’s important to understand that losing weight too fast can be a very unhealthy thing. You'd be surprised that sticking to something for over 2 weeks can bring noticeable and healthy results, and results that will stay. This is because the body needs time to readjust when it loses weights. If you do it too quickly the results will not stay because as soon as you start eating un-healthy foods again your body goes through a recognizable change and re adjusts itself back to being a bigger size so the weight will go back on quickly

How to Get Rid of Belly Fat

Exercise is one of the best ways to get rid of belly fat, which will lower your insulin levels and visceral fat production.

Exercise was found to take the fat away quickly. Those who began to walk least a few miles each day had significantly started to decrease visceral fat, and subcutaneous abdominal fat.
A combination of a regular exercise program with a healthy eating program is best, plus:

* Avoid processed foods
* Avoid high fructose corn syrup, sugars, artificial fruit juices, sweetened and diet drinks (refined sugar has been shown to be more addictive than cocaine)

Below are some ways to reduce fat intake without having to alter your diet significantly.

• Replace fizzy soda drinks and artificially flavored water drinks.

• Swap whole milk for semi-skimmed, or semi-skimmed for skimmed.

• Eat less lunch than usual. For example, make your own sandwich and limit the use of margarine, butter and mayonnaise (store-bought sandwiches often contain both).

• Stop taking sugar in tea and coffee.

• Have smaller portions of the food you enjoy.

• Avoid having a second helping at dinner. ( have a hearty lunch and a light dinner)

• Cut out unhealthy treats – such as confectionary sugary snacks, chips, crackers and candy between meals.

• Cut down on alcohol intake.

All these things will influence your health and weight loss efforts in a positive way. Stick to these suggestions and start seeing results in at least one month’s time.
