Set Goals!

Before doing anything, it is important to set goal so that you know where you are heading. This is also a motivation for you to focus and face the challenges that you will be meeting on your way to achieve the desired result – reduce stomach fat.

First: Change your eating habits and eating time!

Changing your eating habits is significant especially when you are eating unhealthily. When you used to consume high fatty, salty, sweets and calorie foods, get rid of them now. In short, as much as possible avoid eating junk foods, fried foods (chicken, hotdogs, fries, etc.), chocolates, your favorite sweets, canned goods, instant noodles, packed foods, pasta, pizza, hamburgers, soft drinks, and all other unhealthy foods which you are crazy over with. When you are a rice eater, choose brown rice. Start eating whole grained foods, high protein and high fiber foods and flush body with more water, 6-8 glasses daily. When you used to eat 2-3 big meals daily, change it. Break down the bigger meals into 5-6 small meals daily with 3 hours interval. In each meal, make sure you have lean meat, veggies and whole grain. As such, the key point here is: eat right, avoid the unnecessary and do not overeat.

Second: Work Out…

Achieve flat stomach with diet plus right exercise. There are misconceptions about sit-ups and crunches that they can lose stomach fat. This has a minimal effect and will not help you achieve your fitness goal. The best way is to workout the whole body through cardio training. This exercise involves working the major muscle groups. You can do jogging, power walking, running, tread milling, bicycling, and swimming for at least 30 minutes daily, 3-5 times weekly.

It is also more effective when incorporating weight training exercises to your activity. By just simply crunching, hold dumbbells while performing it and you will feel intense abdominal contraction. Do side bending with dumbbells too and make it as your routine together with the cardio training.

Enjoy also some physical activities at home, don’t be lazy! Do some floor scrubbing and mapping, clothes washing and gardening. These are commonly done at home and without your knowledge, it can actually help burn body fats. So for those lazy people there who have problems dealing with stomach fat, get up and help. You are hitting 2 birds in one stone.

Third: No To Cosmetic Surgeries…

In as much as we want to reduce stomach fat, we are stuck with time, and we do not know how to balance time from work, home and our goal to reduce thigh fat. Since we are left with dilemma, we rather choose the fastest which cannot hinder our time to do things necessary for a living.

Liposuction, tummy tuck and bariatric surgery are the most common cosmetic surgeries that frustrated dieters are availing. These are not highly recommended because of the side effects and contraindication during surgery. Yes it can lose stomach fat, but sustaining it requires diet and exercise.
