Getting Rid Of Stomach Fat

By James Norton


It is indeed uncomfortable to walk around with that bouncy flab around your stomach. Aside from being heavy, it doesn't appear to be sexy and this could affect someone's self esteem. That excess stomach fat truly serves no purpose unless you are planning to be a sumo wrestler. This excess weight is also a threat to people's health as studies have shown that huge amount of stomach fats signals possible health issues such as diabetes and bad heart conditions. If you want to look better and save yourself from these threats about your health, you must undergo some changes in your diet and lifestyle.

Calorie Intake Reduction

If you've got lots of flab, the first thing that may come to your mind is to change your eating habits and reduce your food intake. To lose a pound in a week, you would need to deduct 500 calories from your daily consumption as one pound is equivalent to 3500 calories. Even if you're trying to lose weight, it doesn't mean that the weight you've lost will be deducted to your stomach flab. Remember that the body will let go of the fat on the part that it wants. Your body will decide which fat should go first and it is important for you to be patient about this process.

The kind of food that you usually eat should be changed as well. Since you will be more conscious about your calorie intake, it means that you have to stick to a nice diet. Eat a diet that is rich in vegetables, fruits and lean protein. This will surely eliminate fat build up from your body making you lose that extra weight in your stomach. Say goodbye to pasta, white bread, rice and sugary-sweet snacks for a more effective diet.

Routine Exercises

Burn down the excess calories to help your body to get rid of those fats. This can be done by regular exercise which can be perspiring enough to dissolve these fats and be excreted by your body. For faster weight loss, do a combination of cardiovascular activity, strength and endurance training. Try brisk-walking or running for 30 minutes to 1 hour and same amount of time should go for weights. Ab crunching can be good for your abdomen but it doesn't burn the fat in your stomach. It only helps your body to build some strong muscles within that area.

Enhancing your metabolism is also important if you want to lose weight and make it hard for the fats to go back to your body. Regular exercise boosts your metabolism and helps you burn fat and calories easily. Exercises to keep stress at bay is also important as whenever your body encounters a stressful event, it releases a hormone called cortisol which is responsible on storing fats in the abdominal area. More stress means more cortisol and more cortisol means more abdominal fats. To prevent this from happening, maintain your physical exercises to relieve yourself from stress and fats.
