Losing belly fat
is a goal of millions of people. Healthy eating and exercise are helpful, but there are diet strategies that you can use to rid yourself of this extra padding.
There's no question that losing pounds through
healthy eating
and exercise can improve your health.
But, did you know....
that losing as little as 10% of your body weight can make a big difference and significantly reduce
obesity related health risks?
You may decide you would like to lose more, but losing these first few pounds is achievable and can start you on the road to a healthier, happier life.
Losing that first few pounds can be key in giving you the
motivation
to stick with your diet and exercise program, lose even more and finally achieve your weight loss goals.
Here are some basic
healthy tips
to start your body losing the fat as soon as today. These are easy healthy changes you can incorporate into your life with very little adjustment to your daily routine.
To get you started, just keep these tips in mind:
Eat more fruits and veggies.
They're low in calories, but due to their
fiber
content, make you feel full longer. Plus they taste great! Keep pre-sliced veggies handy in your refrigerator so you're not tempted to snack on junk food.
Drink water.
Water has no calories, but helps you to feel full so you're less tempted to snack on anything unhealthy. There are many flavored bottled waters on the market today. Just be sure to check the ingredient label to make sure it doesn't have any added sugar. Pure clear water is the best!
Exercise.
It's a fact that you will lose more fat and keep it off if you incorporate some
exercise
into your daily routine. Muscle burns more calories than fat so as you exercise and increase your proportion of muscle, you
burn more calories
even while resting. An extra bonus is how much better you will feel!
Eat 5-6 small meals
Instead of three big meals, eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day. This will prevent you from getting too hungry between meals and also gives you a constant supply of energy. It will also help keep your
metabolism
high. This is essential to permanent weight loss!
Write it down.
Keep a
weight loss journal
to track everything you eat every day. You might be surprised to find you are consuming many more calories than you thought. By taking this step you are showing your commitment to permanent healthy eating.
Start making these easy healthy changes to your daily routine and you're bound to see that first 10% gone before you know it!
Losing weight doesn't have to be difficult!
What Is Calorie Shifting?
There's new theory being discussed among many researchers in the nutrition and weight loss fields called "calorie shifting".
Researchers have discovered that the human body takes several days to "sense" any change in calories -- so if you SHIFT your calories (in a certain way) then your body gets "confused" and begins burning extra fat tissue. With calorie shifting, your body is given different types of calories each day....which confuses your metabolism and forces faster fat loss to happen.
