Which area of your body is it that you are most unhappy with? In most cases the answer provided to a question such as this relates to the stomach. Many of us dislike having a pudgy tummy.
Even though you may be eating healthy and exercising regularly it seems that you just can’t get rid of the fat around your belly. Well hopefully below we can help you. Below are 7 ways to quickly burn fat and melt belly fat.
1. Dump The Coffee For Green Tea
It has been proven that drinking green tea can help to reduce the size of a person’s waistline, whereas coffee has the completely opposite effect. Green tea is effective at helping to melt belly fat because of a compound in it known as catechins.
This compound contains certain properties that boost your metabolism. This in turn causes the release of fat from cells particularly those around your belly, which in turn speeds up the liver’s capacity to burn fat.
In a study carried out recently it was found those who drank 4 to 5 cups of green tea each day and exercised for 25 minutes lost 2 more pounds to those who didn’t.
2. Don’t Go For More Than Four Hours Without Eating
If you choose to leave more than 4 hours between having something to eat it stimulates the stress response in your body. This in turn causes more cortisol to be produced and released and we then find ourselves eating more than we need to.
3. Give Water A Spruce Up
We all know that drinking plenty of water is vital, but most of us find it boring. Well why not spruce it. Start drinking it warm with some lemon juice (fresh if possible) added to it. As well as helping to detoxify your body it also helps to get things moving in your digestive system.
4. Don’t Skip Breakfast
Having breakfast is vital when you want to melt belly fat. Our body’s need food in the morning because our blood sugar levels are low. Keeping your insulin levels steady will help to prevent you from craving foods that aren’t good for you. If you don’t have a great deal of time in the morning to prepare something, then why not prepare it the night before.
5. Reduce Your Carb Intake
We need carbs to provide our body with energy, but if you want to burn fat and melt belly fat you need to eat them in moderation. Eat between just 30 and 40 grams of carbs each day. If you can eat green vegetables to get the carbs your body needs.
6. Protein Is Vital
Most people when trying to burn fat forget out important protein is and failed to eat enough. The reason to eat protein is important due to is thermic effect. This means that as you eat it you are burning some of its calories so your body can process it. The thermic effect in protein is 5 times greater than that of fat or carbs.
7. Eat Plenty Of Fruit And Vegetables
When it comes to meals make sure that most of your plate comprises vegetables or fruit. As well as helping to get rid of belly fat they make you feel fuller for much longer. The soluble fibre in these foods will cause fat to be stored under your skin rather than around the belly. In turn you’ll find that getting rid of fat from here is much easier.
