Do you want to burn serious belly fat? I mean really burn it fast. The first thing you need to do is stop the calorie counting. Calorie counting leads to frustration and failure because it is too time consuming and you won’t ever reduce your stomach fat. All you do is end up wishing you could succeed.

For those that have tried to do calorie counting does this sound familiar? The food doesn’t have a label for you to know how many calories you are eating, you don’t have your notebook to right down what you ate or you try at night to remember everything you had that day to add up your calories only to find you can’t remember or you went over your calorie allotment.

What if there was a way to eat foods without having to count calories yet still not only lose weight, but lose more weight than the average dieter?

Thankfully researchers have proven that there is a more efficient way to burn belly fat than calorie counting. This doesn’t involve any special program or fancy method of determining calories. It involves choosing the proper foods at the proper times. If you eat the right nutrients at the right times you not only feel full on less calories, but you maximize your fat furning potential and reduce stomach fat at the same time.

Pennsylvania State University researchers divided up 71 obese women into two groups. Both ate a reduced fat diet, but one group ate predominately fruits, vegetables, and lean meats. These are foods that are high in water content. Six months later the group eating the fruits, vegetables and lean meats lost an extra 5 pounds more than then the other group.

The participants not only ate more food but they felt less hungry throughout the day. These water rich foods allow you to eat good size portions while still providing fewer calories so that you can reduce stomach fat. Eating foods such as lean meats also provide a high thermic effect which helps you burn belly fat faster than eating other foods. Another reason why these foods works is because they are foods that help you feel fuller longer. A great nutrient to fill you up without a lot of extra calories is protein and fruits and vegetables also provide that fullness because they are good sources of fiber. All keys to reducing stomach fat.

Provided are some examples of lean protein and water rich fruits and vegetables to help you burn belly fat.

Lean Protein:

Chicken or turkey (white meat)

Tuna fish (canned, in water)

Lean beef

Egg whites

Non-fat cottage cheese

Fish (shark, salmon, flounder, etc.)

Shellfish

Water Rich Fruits and Vegetables

Broccoli

Salad (lettuce, romaine, etc.); use non-fat dressing. Cabbage

Green beans

Spinach

Zucchini

Squash

Red or green pepper

Asparagus

Carrots

Tomatoes

Cauliflower

Mushrooms

Artichoke hearts

Raspberries

Strawberries

Blackberries

Apple

Pear

Prunes

If you want to burn belly fat fast then make sure that at every feeding opportunity you incorporate a lean protein choice and at least 1 fruit or vegetable into your meal plan. To reduce stomach fat consistency is the key along with the proper fat burning foods. The foods listed above meet those guidelines to burn belly fat.

Do away with calorie counting forever and start enjoying life again. There is no need to diet to burn belly fat and quite frankly it doesn’t work that well. If you eat the right foods and eat frequently not only will you not have to diet, but you will burn belly fat at a furious pace. No more trying to remember what you ate for breakfast or if you had a snack at 10am and how many calories it was.

I have alot of belly fat,that i want to shed off.Please advice on the diet that i should take and which is the best exercise, track or gym ?

Weight loss happens when you burn more calories than you eat. So, first, you need to eat well. Stick to the food guide for healthy eating at http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/food-guide-aliment/index-eng.php and avoid things like soda and sweets as much as possible. Try www.fitday.com or www.myfitnesspal.com to help with keeping track of your diet and your exercise habits. Both running on the track as well as weight training at the gym are important for achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Running will burn more calories than weight training will, but weight training will help you build muscle, which burns calories faster than fat does. So a good mix of both is important. Ask the staff at your local gym to help you with a routine. You can’t, however, lose just belly fat; when your body begins to lose fat, so will your belly. But remember, weight loss is a lifestyle, not just a one-time goal. You need to make a plan to live healthy and active to keep the weight off. Good luck!

No it’s not healthy The 6 mini meals a day provides that and its a healthier way… just delete the rest if you don’t care to know about it.

Yes, it’s possible to lose weight as a teenager, but you have to eat to lose weight or your body holds onto all its fat because it thinks you are starving it.

What Should I Start To Do First?

♥ Have you ever thought about getting a binder (notebook) you can decorate and fill it with page dividers? 1) Magazine Pages from Fitness Magazines 2) Good Recipes 3) Upper Body Exercises 4) Lower Body Exercises 5) Charts 6)News Clippings, Emails, Web Pages, Fitness Magazine Exercises, etc., and decorate it up.

How Much Water Do I Need To Drink Each Day?

♥ On a better note, here’s something to follow that keeps you eating healthy while dropping unnecessary fat. There is a formula to follow for how much water to drink for your current weight:

♥ Your Weight Times (.5) Equals Divided By 8oz (or 1 Cup) Equals # Cups of Water/Day

• 100lbs x .5 = 50/8 =6 Cups of Water/day
• 120lbs x .5 = 60/8 = 7 Cups of Water/day
• 135lbs x .5 = 67.5/8 = 8 Cups of Water/day
• 150lbs x .5 = 75/8 = 9 Cups of Water/day
• 175lbs x .5 = /8 = 11 Cups of Water/day
• 200lbs x .5 = 100/8 = 12.5 Cups Water/day

Why Do I Need To Drink Water To Lose Weight?

♥ Water is essential for overall health, not to mention, its natural appetite suppressant.Water also plays an important role as in metabolizing food and helps you to burn more calories than if you didn’t drink water.

♥ http://www.secretsofhealthyeating.com/dr…

♥ It’s also is important to know that you can die from an overdose of water. Water is extremely dangerous when you are only drinking water instead of eating and drinking in moderation.

♥ Hyponatremia is the result of too much water in your system to cause an imbalance in your electrolytes which in turn would result in excessive swelling of the heart, lungs, and brain.

http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/hydra…

♥ The most dangerous consumption of water is done when the person tries to drink their daily limits of water all in one sitting. Water must be spread out throughout the day in order for it to circulate throughout your system.

What’s the Easiest Substitution To Start?

♥ Let’s start with the easiest of substitutions where people will probably not notice that you are making changes to your diet:

♥ Week 1. Stop all soda pop, juice, etc. No slurpees, milkshakes, floats. Drink only water or crystal lite as a substitute for pop, juice, slurpees, frappaccinos, frozen mocha drinks, etc.

♥ Do not use hot chocolate, tea or coffee as a substitute for water as the chemicals used to flavor these drinks take all the good qualities out of the water and leave empty calories and dehydration.

♥ The reason you are substituting the water in place of the other drinks, is to help you to regain your own self control. In approximately 3 months, you’ll be able to reinstate some of them into your diet in moderation and as a treat for yourself in the future.
Do I Need To Go To The Gym?

♥ No, what you need to achieve right now is can be done away from a gym. In order to help get your metabolism up, it’s imperative that you get your heart rate up in any way possible. If you are extremely overweight and suffer from sore knees, then you need to get yourself a bathing suit or layered workout wear to use in the swimming pool; if you do not have a public pool and you know someone who has one, then sit down and ask them if they would allow you to borrow time in their pool and schedule a time for 7 days in the week; a low depth river, lake or swimming pond will work in ideal temperatures. Another option would be to use a small indoor trampoline to do ‘rebounding’. This will also up your metabolism.

♥ Walk once around the block or swim one lap each day to raise metabolism (5 days unless you enjoy 7 days) If your block is more than a mile long then only walk half or substitute with another activity equivalent. If you have a hill or hiking trail, then try to motivate yourself to do it once a week the first month. *Do not exceed 2 hours in the beginning.

What’s the Next Substitution In The Beginning?

♥ This is one of the most difficult substitution or limitation for many teens who have gotten into the habit of sitting down and snacking.

♥ Week 2. Stop all breads, buns, cakes, muffins, etc.. No Chips, Nachos, Cookies, Cheezies, Snack Chips of any sort, Wheat Thins, Rice Cakes, Triscuits, Tea Biscuits, English Muffins, Foccascia, etc.

♥ Many teens fill their emptiness with sweet bread-like products which includes peanut butter and honey or jam toast when others will reach for saltier snacks which includes pretzels.

♥ It’s difficult to break the habit of snacking at the movies, watching home Dvd’s, sports games and their finals, as

I am watching what I eat and exercising. I lost 7 lbs, all of it from where I was already skinny (legs) and my belly has’t gone down an inch. I look worse than before. Please, don’t try to sell me anything. I want to hear from people who have been successful in eliminating visceral fat.

Alright where to start,

I was 280lbs and partly muscle and a big tubby belly. I now weigh about 220 and have kept it off

The way I lost weight and have kept it off for almost two years now is I ran and I still run. You have to run long distance over some time to get your metabolism to use fat as the primary energy source. If you run sprints you are just gonna blow through carbohydrates. Your body only uses fat with low intensity and long duration cardiovascular exercise. I still lift weights all the time to continue to keep my muscle mass on cause that’s extremely important to me. When you start running gradually increase your time/distance whichever is easier for you. When I did it I started week 1 with just a mile. This was almost impossible for me, then in week two I pushed it up to 1.5 miles and then week three I was running 2 miles no problem. Any good workout program you wont see results until week 2. This is the Healthy way to lose weight without any gimics. If running is a problem for you look into an elliptical or bike.

Nutritionally if you are trying to lose weight you need to SUBSTITUTE more fruits and vegetables for dairy, meats, and carbohydrates. Do not eliminate anything from your diet because each of the food groups has a benefit for your body in one shape form or fashion. You can cut soda, sweets, and fast food to see a tremendous boost in your weight loss.
