Doesn’t it thrill you to learn that eating every three hours has a healthy effect on your body? However, be careful not to go overboard and mount your plates like a starved tribal. The purpose of this diet strategy is to ensure that you reduce the size of your portions. Do not gobble up too much at once as it inevitably turns into excess fat. Eating 5-6 small meals per day! This curbs your urges to binge and keeps your metabolism running as food is constantly being burned.

 

Increase your consumption of the more fat burning foods like brown rice, whole grains, vegetables, natural fruits, skimmed milk, lean poultry or meat, seafood and egg whites. Avoid the junk food as tempting as the prospect of digging into a juicy cheeseburger may seem. Resist the enticement by picturing your arteries getting clogged. Pizzas, french-fries and chocolate doughnuts are all strict ‘No-No’s’. If you are accustomed to three teaspoons of sugar, bring it down to two and eventually one. Get into the habit of taking smaller bites and chewing them slowly. Too much salt causes the body to retain water and hence giving your abdomen the boated appearance. Therefore, control your salt and sugar intake. Instead add more fibre to your diet. Soluble fibre like apples and cherries lower insulin levels, which speed up the burning of visceral belly fat

 

Hydrating your body to the maximum is pivotal in ensuring that body fat diminishes. Dehydration ails your liver function and hence impedes the fat burning process. Drink lots of water, even if you are not thirsty. Just drink! Also, it is scientifically proved that hot green tea neutralizes the effects of fatty foods.

 

Cardiovascular exercises for starters make for an excellent fat burner. Walk, jog, cycle and try your luck with aerobics till you get slim.

Combine cardiovascular exercises with resistance training which phenomenally helps in getting rid of abdominal fat. Resistance training can be executed with free weights, exercise machines, or resistance bands. Resist taking short cuts to increase your movement and metabolism. Sticking to sit-ups may backfire and inflate your belly. This is because abdominal muscles grow in size and shape and eventually push out against the fat, thus the enlargement.

 

Lack of sleep directly affects your levels of energy, thus deterring your ability to exercise. Get at least seven to eight hours of peaceful sleep every night! Tired and sleep deprived beings are prone to slow metabolism. Refresh yourself in the morning and treat yourself to a wholesome breakfast. Never skip breakfast! Your body automatically jumps to "˜starvation mode' if you haven’t fed it anything since a long slumber. This lowers the metabolism and fails to burn calories quickly.
