Some Tips of how to burn your belly fat

Incorporate these 6 things below and you will be on your way to a flatter belly in no time flat!

1. Sleep

If you want to work late at night, think again. When your biorhythms are off, you end up eating more. When you’re tired you produce more ghrelin, which triggers cravings for sugar and other fat-building foods. Losing sleep can also alter your hormone production, affecting your cortisol levels that cause insulin sensitivity, prime reasons for belly fat! Getting about 7 hours of sleep a night is one of the best things you can do for your body shaping goals.

2. Short bursts of exercises

1000 crunches a night may get you strong abdominal muscles, but with a full layer of fat on top, you will not get the results you really want. Instead of all those crunches, do exercises that engage multiple muscle groups and work your cardiovascular system. Try planking, where you hold yourself in a push-up position, resting your forearms on the ground. Try 3 or 4 sets of holding for 30 seconds each. Getting up and moving throughout the day by going for walks will also help.

3. Sugar is your Enemy

Fighting belly fat is 80% healthy diet. Reduce calories by filling yourself up with protein, vegetables, whole grains, and replacing bad habit snacks with good ones. For example, if you have a sugar craving, replace your calorie laden latte with a Muscle Milk lite, one of my favorites, because it has zero sugar and a ton of protein that will satiate while also torching my sugar craving! Another great trick is a sprinkle of cinnamon in your morning coffee or oatmeal- the spice has been shown to help stabilize blood sugar. It also slows the rate at which food exits the stomach, which helps you feel fuller longer.

4. Vitamin C

When you’re under extreme stress, you secret more cortisol hormone. Vitamin C helps balance the cortisol spikes that happen to you under this stress. Besides being a good way to counteract a cold, Vitamin C is also essential for making carnitine, a compound used by the body to turn fat into fuel, making this vitamin your fat burning friend.

If you’re going through an emotional crisis, stress from work, or a bad eating splurge, increase your vitamin C – it’ll help counteract the negative side effects. Try bell peppers, kale or kiwi fruits. These have even more Vitamin C than the famous Orange!

5. Eat Fat

Yup, you heard me! It takes fat to burn fat. Like I said above, it’s sugar that gets you fat, not fat. Good fats include foods rich in Omega 3′s, like salmon, avocados & walnuts. These foods are full of nutrients that help keep you satiated throughout the day.

6. Slowing down your breath

This is a very simple method that you can use even when you’re in the midst of doing something else. Whenever you notice you’re feeling tense and uptight check and see how you’re breathing. Most people under stress either alternate holding their breath with short breaths, or take rapid shallow breaths. After you become aware of your own breathing, consciously relax your belly and slow down the breathing. This works best if you focus on slowing down the exhalation rather than your inhalation. With each exhalation you can say to yourself “slow down”. That is all there is to it- Simple but surprisingly effective!!!

Hi Tanim can you please cite your source on these tips. I would like to research them further and find more helpful tips. I visited your profile and there was no information about you. Are you considering surgery? If so I do wish you luck in your endeavors. I have lost 105 pounds to date and I am two years out from surgery. Many of the tips are good but I would like to add to your message is to focus on your goals. Achievements are accomplished by hard work and endurance, not merely by simple techniques. We all face challenges and look at magazines with hired models who fast to get results and think I wish I could look like that and to the side it say's, "Lose 100 lbs by eating fast food." Most people carry around weight all of their lives and struggle until there is some sort of magic bullet. There will never be a magic bullet and the only way is to use the tools you have been given whether it be nutrition, surgery, exercise, or all three. Thanks for posting those tips...

Hi Jeffboutwell77. thank you very much for read & reply my post. Last some time i was busy with my work. as a result do not come or reply your comments. You want to more tips about this article type. here is more burn fat or weight loss tips.

Thank you for posting this list; it's not as daunting as some I've seen, and a good place for me to start. People have said things like this before, but 2015 is my year to focus on getting myself healthier and creating a lifestyle change that I will stick with, not just a short term thing that might last 2-3 months. 

Thanks for the tips, I've been craving sugar lately,so this it's a big help!
