3 Easy Ways to Get Rid of Fat Belly

By Frances Norah Smith

If you thought there is no easy way to lose weight, you are dead wrong! What if I tell you about three weight loss methods that are both easy and natural? No, I am not going to ask you to diet, since I know that dieting doesn't work for long! In this article I will tell you about weight loss methods which are better than dieting!

1. Eat breakfast: When you wake up early in the morning, your body usually runs low on fuel because you probably had your last meal nine or ten hours ago! Obviously, you need to supply fuel to your body in the form of food.

This is the reason why breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Normally, you are perhaps adapted to having a small breakfast, medium lunch and a large dinner. If you eat this way you will NEVER lose weight.

In order to lose weight, you need to do just the opposite: have a large breakfast; in fact, your breakfast should be the largest meal of the day, and dinner would be the smallest one! Just think about it, if you have a large dinner, you will probably go to bed soon after that. As anticipated, your body won't be able to utilize all the extra calories and would instead store them as fat deposits.

In contrast, if you have your largest meal at breakfast, your body will get an entire day to break down the food and burn off all the calories successfully. As a result, you won't put on weight!

2. Stay away from sugar: Sugar is the one thing that would make you gain more pounds pretty quickly. Our body is able to convert sugar into fat very fast. You will probably get an instant burst of energy if you eat too many sugary foods, but that energy would only be short-lived, followed by unbearable pangs of hunger.

Then the obvious would happen: you probably would eat more and more sugary foods and gain more and more fat. I would suggest that you replace sugary foods with their healthier alternatives such as lean chicken meat, natural fruits and vegetables, bread, pasta, etc.

3. Drink water: If you don't drink sufficient water, then forget about weight loss! Water is a natural drink that doesn't make you fatter; instead, it helps you burn fat by boosting your metabolic rate! If you have ever woken up in the morning feeling tired and fatigued, there is a chance that you are suffering from dehydration.

Remember that your body needs water in order to perform even minor tasks; if you don't supply it with enough water, it will tend to store water instead of flushing it out. The result would be that you would gain some more pounds! - 15438
