Belly Fat Loss Secrets

Need a couple quick tips to get your body burning stomach fat effectively?  If you feel like you’re making no ground on losing fat and are ready to raise the white flag and accept defeat, not so fast.  Here’s a couple tips that will definitely get you burning more stomach fat, sooner, rather than later.

1) Eat more of the right foods

The first and most important part of burning fat is to eat more of the right foods.  Goes without saying that avoiding salty, carb and calorie filled snacks is a good idea, but it’s also important to take control of your regular meals as well.  Keep breakfast free from the usual bowl of sugar and refined carbs we call cereal.  For lunch, if you’re stuck going out to eat with your coworkers, get something with a lean meat, like grilled chicken or grilled salmon.  Eating 5 to 6 healthy meals (or three meals and two healthy snacks) a day will not only help you feel full longer, but you’ll also burn more calories from the energy your body expends digesting these high fiber, high protein foods.

2) Interval Training

If you haven’t heard by now, interval training is a form of cardiovascular training were you alternate periods of faster, more intense, walking or running, with slower periods of less intense exercise.

Applying this form of training to your program is easy and can be used regardless of your fitness level. If you have no exercise limitations, sprinting is a great for interval training.  If you are a complete exercise novice, you can start interval training by walking or riding an exercise bike at only a slightly faster pace than usual for a period of time.

If you do use a treadmill or exercise bike as your primary means of burning stomach fat, you can use the timer on the display to time your intervals. Start by kicking up the intensity and maintain that pace anywhere from 15-45 seconds, depending on your fitness level. Follow that with a slower period of less intense work, until you’ve recovered.
