Burn Belly Fat
(Don’t eat before sleeping)
Don’t eat sugar
When you eat a lot of refined sugar,
the liver gets overloaded with fructose, and is forced to turn it all into fat.
Numerous studies have shown that
excess sugar, mostly due to the large amounts of fructose, can lead
to increased accumulation of fat in the belly.
Liquid sugar is even worse in this
regard. Liquid calories don’t get “registered” by the brain in the same way as
solid calories, so when you drink sugar-sweetened beverages, you end up eating
more total calories.
Make a decision to minimize the
amount of sugar in your diet, and consider completely eliminating sugary drinks.
This includes sugar-sweetened
beverages, fruit juices and various high-sugar sports drinks.
Excess sugar consumption may be the primary driver of belly fat accumulation,
especially sugary beverages like soft drinks.
Eat more protein
If weight loss is your goal, then
adding protein is perhaps the single most effective change you can do to your
diet.
Not only will it help you lose, it
can also help you avoid re-gaining weight if you ever decide to abandon your
weight loss efforts. There is also some evidence that protein is particularly
effective against belly fat.
Carb restriction is a very effective
way to lose fat.
Just avoiding the refined carbs
(white breads, pastas, etc) should be sufficient, especially if you keep your
protein high.
However, if you need to lose weight fast,
then consider dropping your carbs down to 50 grams per day.
Eat foods rich in fiber
The best way to get more fiber is to
eat a lot of plant foods like vegetables and fruit. Legumes are also a good
source, as well as some cereals like oats.
Walking is very effective
Exercise is important for various
reasons.
Exercise completely prevented people
from re-gaining abdominal fat after weight loss, implying that exercise is
particularly important during weight maintenance.
Exercise also leads to reduced
inflammation, blood sugar levels and all the other metabolic abnormalities that
are associated with central obesity. Exercise can be very effective if you are
trying to lose belly fat.
Track your foods
It doesn’t mean you need to weigh
and measure everything for the rest of your life, but doing it every now and
then for a few days in a row can help you realize where you need to make
changes.
Eat Fish
A diet rich in omega-3s, can boost
heart health, lower your risk of dementia, and improve your moors. As for
weight loss, many omega-3 carriers are rich in protein.
Eat Nuts
Nuts can protect us from heart
disease, cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. Foods rich in magnesium are
also extremely weight loss friendly: protein-rich fish and nuts, lentils, soy
and black beans, as well as fiber-rich grains like bran.
Drink Skimmed Milk
Skimmed Milk may really do a body
good when it comes to belly fat. Calcium can help you sleep if you tend to be
awakened by muscle soreness or cramps—the mineral, along with calcium. Milk
helps relax muscle nerves and fibers. There are other ways to get your calcium
in as well, such as sardines, fortified orange juice, tofu, and dark leafy
greens like kale and spinach.
Cherries
These cherries are one of a number of plant-based sources of
melatonin, the sleep hormone. (Bananas and corn have it, too.) Foods like these
can raise melatonin levels in the body.
