Easy Method To Lose Your Belly Fat

By Jose Loni

Lose your belly fat the easy way. Losing belly fat has never been easier. By following some simple principles of diet, exercise and stress management, you will achieve the goal of losing your belly fat.

Many of us eat a diet, which are full of sugar, processed foods, fast foods, and high fat food as well as eat in large portions. When the body is faced with all that food and not enough activity to consume that food as fuel, the food turns into fat and is stored in the belly as belly fat.

By increasing the number of meals we eat throughout the day to 5-6 times per day and decreasing the size of the meals, we can help our bodies burn body fat especially when we match our food intake with our physical energy activities.

When we increase our overall physical activity and we decrease our food consumption, we allow our body to better utilize the fat on our body to fuel the activities we do. This results in the belly fat being burned as fuel.

By simply incorporating resistance training into our exercise activity, we enable our bodies to utilize the energy from foods and the stored fat. When this occurs, we also increase our metabolism, which also adds to the fat burning capacity of our bodies to burn belly fat.

Managing our stress is also another factor we need to control because when we have increased stress in our lives, the hormone Cortisol is released, which stores fat in our belly to prepare us for an emergency situation.

To decrease stress in our lives, activities like deep breathing, tai chi, and yoga have all shown to reduce stress levels in people, who have high stress in their lives.

Diet, exercise and lowering our stress levels are simple ways as to how you can lose your belly fat. By committing to change how we eat, exercise, and decreasing the amount of stress in our lives, you will be better able to lose your belly fat. - 15438
