I’m 15 years old, I weigh 136 pounds. But I seem to have trouble losing belly fat.
Please don’t tell me to do crunches. I’ve tried that and I didn’t get much results.
I’ve heard about the bycicle crunch but I’m not sure if it would work for me.
I already know about sit ups, but does anyone know any better options?
Best Ways to Lose Belly Fat Easily:
1) Exercise early in the morning: Jog or do brisk walking for 30 minutes to 1 hour everyday before breakfast. Morning exercise tends to keep you active for the full day which is one of the best ways to lose belly fat fast.
2) Avoid drinking alcohol: Alcohol contains high amount of calories. There are 7 calories per gram of alcohol.
Another reason to stay far away from alcohol is that it has a huge impact on the body sugar levels, thus affecting your efforts to lose belly fat fast.
3) Avoid junk food: Eating too much junk food can be a primary cause for developing lot of belly fat. Eating junk food can raise your appetite levels making you eat more and also eat unhealthy fattening foods resulting in gaining more fat around your stomach.
4) Drink lot of water: You may be surprised to know that the more water you drink, the less of it is retained by the body.
So you can lose some water weight and also lose belly fat by drinking more water.
5) Reducing stress: High levels of stress can cause your body to produce a hormone called as ‘cortisol’. This cortisol has been linked to weight gain. Hence start some relaxation exercises.
6) Eat balanced diet: Avoid unhealthy foods and those foods that have high levels of sugar or caffeine. Try going for foods which are rich in nutrients and fiber. Examples are fresh vegetables, fruits, oatmeal, whole grain etc.
Such kind of healthy foods keep your insulin levels even and control blood sugar levels as well as hunger. Gaining control over hunger means you stand a much better chance of getting rid of belly fat quickly.
7) Get sufficient sleep: When you are tired, you tend to feel like eating something. This can lead to overeating and developing a fat belly.
Proper sleep at night would ensure that you stay active during the day, and burn more fat by being energetic.
