Unfortunately, belly fat can be one of the most stubborn types of body fat to get rid of. However, there are several easy steps you can take to immediately begin shrinking that layer of ugly blubber surrounding your midsection. Here are a few of the best...
If you want to lose belly fat, you have to learn to watch how much you eat. Consume smaller meals more often and eat once every 3 to 4 hours. Just ensure that your meal portions are reasonable in size, not too large. Eat foods that are high in complex carbs and low in fat. Replace snacks with vegetables and fruits instead as they provide ample supply of vitamins, fiber and minerals that helps to meet up the body requirement. If your body have sufficient supply of these, than you are most likely to eat less.
Another simple but necessary step to burning fat is regular sleep. A study done by the University of Chicago revealed that losing sleep affects how our bodies metabolize carbohydrates, resulting in glucose intolerance, a slowed metabolism and possible increased hunger. Not getting enough sleep can also make you feel "too tired" to exercise. At least six to eight hours of sleep every night is essential to keep the body's metabolism functioning properly and give you enough energy to function properly.
