If you’re wondering how to burn belly fat and have even considered
taking diet pills or fat burners, you should try to do it the all
natural way before taking extreme measures.
1. Drink More Water
This is perhaps the most easiest and effortless way to lose belly fat,
and it’s a problem for countless Americans. There is a dehydration
epidemic going on, and if we all just drank more water, and got closer
to the amount that we actually need each day, there would be less
obesity, fewer digestive problems, and more people that are awake and
alert throughout the day. But here’s the kicker: because it’s only
involves drinking water it’s pretty easy, and easy things are easy to
forget to do. If you’re conditioned to not drink enough water it can be
pretty tough to make a change. But stick with it and soon you’ll reach
new levels of hydration and reduced levels of belly fat.
2. Get Sound Sleep
This is perhaps the easiest and hardest thing to do for most of us.
Doing things in your sleep can’t get much easier, but finding the time
in our busy lives to get more sleep can be a challenge. The real
struggle is that your deepest and most cleansing sleep comes from
getting to bed earlier in the evening. For most that is just not an
option, and others are so entrenched in their late nights that they
can’t fathom going to bed at 10pm or earlier. But science has repeatedly
shown the link between getting deep sleep on a consistent basis and
having less belly fat. You’ll be stressed out less, and you’ll wake up
feeling refreshed and ready to greet the day, with more energy
throughout the day. The body also repairs itself at night, so you’re
helping yourself in many different ways just by snoozing.
3. Do High Intensity Interval Training
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is where you go hard out for
anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute, followed by periods of rest where
you go very low intensity. The beauty of this aerobic workout is that
you spend a fraction of the time but the theory is that you’re getting
results from this workout that last long into the next day. They say
that if you spend 40 minutes on a stationary bike just doing a low
intensity aerobic workout, you’re only burning fat during that 40
minutes. But with an HIIT workout lasting only 10-20 minutes you end up
burning fat the entire day, and long after you’ve finished the workout.
The process is pretty particular, so you’ll need to study up on it. It
involves getting your heart rate up to a certain level during the high
intensity parts, and getting it back down during the low intensity
parts, so you’ll need to get a heart rate monitor to effectively do
this.
4. Mind Your Vitamins
It’s hard to make the connection between your belly fat and a vitamin
deficiency, but there’s a high chance that if you’re struggling to lose
fat you may be running short on several key vitamins needed for fat
loss. The first of these is Vitamin D, often referred to as the Happy
Vitamin. Feeling good is key to losing fat of all types, and if you
don’t have sufficient amounts of Vitamin D you could be inhibiting your
ability to feel good and feel like being active. The key is getting more
exposure to sunlight so that your body can make its own supply. You’ll
also want to make sure that you’re taking in enough natural sources of
vitamins so that your body has all of the building blocks it needs to
function at its best.
You should be eating foods high in Vitamin C, as well as Vitamin E if
you want to give yourself the best shot at losing that stubborn fat.
It’s best to get these vitamins from the foods you eat, rather than
using a multivitamin, but if you find that you need to fill in the gaps
go with a whole foods multivitamin, since it will be using food sources
rather than using synthetic vitamins.
5. Get Healthy Fats Into Your System
Thanks to the no-fat and low-fat craze of the 90s and into the 2000s
you’ll still find plenty of low and nonfat items at the grocery store.
This instilled the wrong view on fats and labeled all fats as bad. But
the body needs healthy fat in order to burn fat, so if you’ve taken to
cutting out fat in your diet, it’s time to let some of it back in. Go
for foods that contain high levels of the fats we’re after:
monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. The fat you want to continue to
keep out is the saturated fat. Good sources of healthy fats include
avocados, olive oil, salmon, and peanut butter. These foods will
actually help your fat loss efforts, so don’t be afraid of them.
6. Avoid the Unnatural
Our modern world presents us with many things that just aren’t natural
for the human body to have to deal with. Large portion sizes, sedentary
lifestyles, high levels of stress, massive amounts of entertainment to
keep us glued to our couches, and tons of pollution in many major cities
all contribute to the condition we find our bodies in. The more you can
fight against these unnatural items, but better. Make sure you get some
daily activity, because that’s natural for us. Feed your body plenty of
fruits and vegetables, because that’s a very natural thing for a human
to do. Limit the amount of TV you watch, and take time to just
decompress and get in touch with your inner self. Cut out unnatural
substances like fast food and junk food. They don’t do you any favors
and are contributing to the unnatural shape you’ve taken on.
You don’t have to become a monk or anything, but if you just unplug from
the grid for a bit each day you’ll see how unnatural our world has
become, and you’ll see the link between your body and the lifestyle that
the masses subscribe to.
7. Avoid Alcohol
Alcohol of all types is full of sugar, and sugar leads to fat. If you’ve
managed to cut the sugar out of your life but still indulge in regular
alcoholic beverages, you could be sabotaging yourself and not even know
it. You may see a study now and then that says one alcoholic drink a day
is good for the body because it helps you relax, or it thins the blood.
But what those studies don’t talk about is the cumulative effect that
has on the body, and whether or not you’d be better off in the stomach
area by not having that drink each day.
8. Drink Herbal Teas
Herbal teas are about as natural as it gets, often using spices and
herbs that have been proven to speed up the metabolism, cleanse the
body’s internal organs, or reduce stress. You can also consider drinking
green tea, as it contains EGCG, but not as much as green tea extract,
which may be a better way to go and is still considered a natural way to
lose fat. Really anything that helps to calm the body is going to help
you lose fat, so you can choose an array of different teas to enjoy
throughout the day, and if you replace sodas, juices, and other sugary
beverages with herbals teas you’re sure to notice a difference in the
near future.
9. Be Persistent
Your belly fat only wins when you give up on getting rid of it. Being
persistent is a very natural trait. Nature is very persistent, time
keeps on going no matter what, and over time if you neglect your belly
fat the problem will only get worse. That’s why it’s good to be just as
persistent as nature, and take steps each day to eat the right foods,
get a bit of activity, be happy, and nourish yourself. As you do these
little things each day, they will accumulate as more and more time
passes. It’s natural for things to take time to work, which is why you
want to avoid fast track promises and gimmicks to lose belly fat,
because in all likelihood it will just backfire and you’ll be back at
square one trying to start all over again
