How to Get a Flat Stomach and Burn Belly Fat

By Ricardo d Argence

The secret to burning belly fat and getting a flat stomach is a combination of three things, mindset, diet, and exercise. I have read many articles that emphasize diet and exercise, but if someone tries to induce these two things without having the proper mindset, they will always fail.

Before embarking on a change of lifestyle, you need to give yourself a check up from the neck up first. Understand why you want to be thinner, know the reasons why you aren't thin, and mentally accept the things that you are going to have to change in order to get a flat stomach.

It is essential to have a proper diet. If you drink coffee, try drinking it black instead of with sugar. Start with a good, healthy breakfast, and make sure your lunch and dinner are reasonable and healthy. Try to stay away from fast foods for lunch. Quick, junk food items are loaded with preservative ingredients and calories, and overconsumption of them is bad for health.

Don't drink soda pop or anything that has a high sugar content. Instead, try drinks that have a natural sugar content, like fruit juices. Instead of eating potato chips with your lunch, try eating raw vegetables. You will have more energy, and you might just find them delicious.

For dinner, it's still okay to eat some of your favorite foods a couple of days a week, so long as you cut down on your portions. Don't go back for seconds. Calories store up in your fat cells while you are sleeping, so never under any circumstances snack after dinner.

You ought to work out daily, however avoid repeating the identical routines each day. As your calories burn, you will be able to inclemently increase your walking distance and the amount of sit-ups you do.

When I say exercise every day, I don't mean exercise hard every day. The hard exercises should be limited to at least every other day. On the off days, try doing small things like taking the stairs instead of the elevator where you work, or even mowing the yard.

You should take your time and go slow at first and as time goes by then you can increase your exercise to help you achieve your goal. Sit-ups are the way to go for this but don't throw out your back. Always to 10 minutes of stretching before you get into the hard exercise. In addition, a number of different exercise apparatus are available to help work out your abs with little stress on your spine.

Once you know what you like, it is important to stay with that exercise routine as much as you can. Don't fool yourself into believing that if you skip a workout, you will make up for it in the next workout session. It will be easy to think of reasons why exercise isn't necessary.

Make sure you have a scale and are keeping track of how you are doing. When you see yourself losing weight you will be encouraged to keep going. If you're not getting the outcome you want change your dining habits and the routine of your workouts. Remember, you're not the first person in the world that made the commitment to burn off that fat and enjoy a new, flat stomach. - 17273
