Losing belly fat for the majority of people is still a huge secret. Many people have attempted to do tons of ab exercises on a regular basis with no results! It's getting pretty bad and people are constantly on the search for the correct methods to lose that belly fat every single day.
Secret #1 - Simply Doing Crunches Doesn't Cut it
Sure doing crunches might tone your muscles - but what good is that when you can't seem them do to the fat? It's great idea to do crunches every now and then, but be sure not to make it the center of your plan.
So the big question is - what should you do exactly to lose belly fat? Just remember to avoid sit-ups, as these will probably not do a thing for you. In order to lose belly fat - you have to lose fat period. Women have a tendency to gain fat in their hips, while men tend to gain it in the regular middle section.
Either way, fat is fat, and both genders of people can lose fat the correct and healthy way. Which brings it to the next tip - what is the best way to lose belly fat.
Secret #2 - Try Starving Yourself
You'll quickly realize this will not help; especially if there is a severe lack of water in your diet. Believe it or not, you can still eat and lose belly fat, because belly fat is simply stored fat. If you starve yourself - your body may go into "survival" mode and hold on to that fat.
So that method's pointless. You definitely want to constantly drink water as most people simply do not get enough fluids in their system throughout the day. The more water the better - as many Americans are overweight or have an undesirable belly simply because of their lack of water consumption.
Start drinking water and watch your belly fat reduce. You may see extremely quick results - faster than you think. You may not get that dream "six pack" or "toned stomach" simply by drinking water, but it certainly is a start.
Secret #3 - Breakfast is the Key to Everything
Yeah, breakfast is awesome, and you'll ultimately have the opportunity to reduce your appetite with breakfast. This way, you will not be starving yourself - but you'll be getting all the nutrients you need.
This is what I recommend for breakfast. Try some beans, some grilled meats instead of the regular bacon. It's great if you can create a "weight loss smoothie"; which will dramatically reduce your weight. Boil some eggs, put that into your breakfast and drink some genuine orange juice and a couple glasses of water.
Whatever else you think is healthy - put it in your breakfast; it's just important that you quickly realize how important breakfast can truly be in your life, and that you should start today.
Breakfast is the key to you losing all that belly fat - as far as dieting goes. You also want to incorporate some kind of exercise as well. Cardio, Aerobics, Anaerobic (if you want that kind of super athlete stomach), and pilates training is all part of your best interest to lose that belly fat!
