3 Ways To Eliminate Belly Fat

By Clayton Thomas

Losing belly fat can be easy, as long as you implement these healthy techniques! They are not only easy, but they dont require you to make any drastic changes to your lifestyle. And no, its not a new diet or special exercise! Instead they are simply a few changes in the way you do everyday things!

1. Breakfast is under rated: Breakfast is the meal that decides how you feel for the rest of the day! If your body is low on fuel from a poor breakfast, then obviously you will feel sluggish for much of your day. Also, after not eating for 9 or 10 hours after you wake up, you need to refuel you body properly!

Weve all heard the rule that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Only most people dont follow that rule. We will usually eat a small breakfast (sometimes only a muffin, or a cup of coffee!), a medium sized lunch and a large dinner. Eating this way makes losing weight exponentially harder!

In order to lose fat fast, you need to reverse your eating schedule. This means your breakfast should be the largest meal of the day, and your dinner should be the smallest one! Too justify, if you have a large dinner, you will usually go to sleep soon after. As a result, your body won't be able to burn all those extra calories from your large dinner. It will instead store them as excess fat deposits!

If you make breakfast the most heinous meal of your day, your body will have the entire day to filter those calories, using what it needs and eliminating what it doesnt. This means that weight gain will reduce dramatically!

2. Sugar and weight gain: Sugar may taste good, but sometimes too much of a good thing is bad. As is the case with sugar, which is easily converted into fat by your body. Sugar can give you a jolt of energy, but it will also cause cravings, which will inevitably cause you to eat more, and furthermore, gain weight.

Cravings will cause you to eat more sugary foods and continue to put on more weight. Healthier alternatives to sugar are potatoes, rice, natural fruits and vegetables, bread, pasta, etc. Just remember, sugar is bad glucose, healthier alternatives produce good glucose.

3. Water is the elixir of well-being: Drinking plenty of water is mandatory for a healthy body and if you want to lose weight fast! No matter how much water you drink you wont gain weight. You must understand that water is a natural metabolism booster! If you have ever woken up feeling exhausted and, well, unable to fully wake up, it is probably because you are dehydrated.

Your body needs water to perform every single internal function, so limiting water would obviously not allow your body to burn excess fat. Also, if you don't drink enough water, your body will store any water you do drink because of the shortage. This leads to increased amounts of water weight. This is something that can be easily be averted by drinking plenty of water! - 15343
