As we all know, especially women, belly fat is stubborn, and just when you think you’ve got a handle on it, it’s back. So what do we do to get rid of it once and for all? The answer to controlling belly fat is not a quick fix sort of answer, it’s an overall two-part effort that has been proven to work for the long run. Here’s the best way to lose stubborn belly fat.
It’s not just what you eat and what exercises you do, it’s a combination of both. You can’t just do crunches everyday and expect belly fat to disappear because what you’re eating is the biggest culprit. Nutritionally speaking, being aware of your everyday choices will define your overall shape and this is actually quite simple to understand.
Stay away of anything in a box or can, anything processed with ingredients you struggle to pronounce or is stored on a shelf for months at at time in the grocery store. These foods are full of salt, sugar and unhealthy ingredients that will be stored in your midsection as fat. Instead, eat foods that are made from fresh ingredients and healthy proteins. Ensure there is a vegetable of some sort at every meal and a protein that will keep you feeling full like fish, chicken, avocado, chickpeas or even a little peanut butter.
Once you have the food in check, you can start to incorporate exercises that will burn fat and allow you to see the muscles that have been hiding. You don’t necessarily have to do abdominal-focused exercises, instead do full body workouts like jogging, kickboxing or anything aerobic that gets your heartbeat up. Start your workouts at home to see what you like and what works for you; here are my favorite 10 best workouts for weight loss.
Are you ready to wear a fitted top or even a bathing suit? Once you make the conscience effort to eat real whole foods and get your heartbeat up a few days a week, you will see the belly fat reduce and eventually go away for good. Enjoy!
