HOW TO LOSE BELLY FAT.

1. EAT HEALTHY. You can work out all day but if you don't eat healthy you won't lose the belly fat. EAT HEALTHY!! Reduce your intake of processed foods, eat more unprocessed foods. Replace your foods with healthier options like brown rice in place of white rice, olive/sunflower oil in place of regular oil, whole wheat bread in place of white bread etc. You don't have to be perfect, you can do processed/junk foods once in a while so you won't feel deprived but please do not overdo it. Make it 90% healthy foods and 10% junk.

LIMIT YOUR ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION. Doing alcohol once in a while is okay but doing it everyday is saying goodbye to losing belly fat. Alcohol gives you beer belly and for the guys man boobs too. Alcohol also stresses the liver because it will have to work overtime to clear the toxins. Reduce your alcohol intake if you want to lose the belly fat.

EAT FAT. It takes fat to burn fat. This may sound counterproductive but it is the truth. Fat does not make you fat. Sugar, lack of exercise and bad nutrition does that. Eat good fats. They include foods rich in omega3 like fish and avocados, olive oil etc. When you give your body a constant intake of healthy fats it will not store fat.

REDUCE YOUR CARB INTAKE. Our bodies need carbohydrates for energy but the problem is that most times we overdo it. Then the body stores the excess carbohydrates as fat. Cut back on the carbs and replace with more of fruits and veggies.

EAT MORE PROTEIN. The body burns more calories processing proteins than it does carbohydrates. Stock up on the proteins as they help in burning belly fat.
