10 Rules Losing Belly Fat

Listed below are some great tips on losing belly fat that can really help you on your journey. We all feel determined and motivated in the first few days of belly fat loss, but soon we'll get bored and lose that motivation, that is what makes you feel like you will never lose the belly fat. This article will teach you how to keep that motivation going, while at the same time reaching your desired belly.

Steps

1. Get a reasonable goal and set a time limit. It's better to lose it when you know what to lose and how quickly. Remember to keep it real! You might not be able to lose 50 pounds in a month but you could lose 20 pounds in two months. The fast way in losing belly fat is usually not the long-term or the safe solution, once you've realized the facts you can start!
   
2. Think about the diet. It's hard to keep a certain diet for more than a week, so try mixing diets. Take 3-5 different diet plans and mix the meals up, take your breakfast from one, lunch from the other, and so on. You should customize your diet plan to something that fits you and your lifestyle.
   
3. If you don't really like diets at all, think of it as more of a lifestyle change. Work on it gradually. You can try to shift your own diet into a more healthy one by eating less more often. Try keeping a food journal for a week; seriously write down every little bit of food that you eat, remember to mark the portion size and the time of day to really see what you're eating and when. If you tend to be one that eats depending on your mood, write down the mood that you had during eating. When you have a complete list, you can see where the main sources of fat and sugar are in your diet and start cutting back on them. Eat six times a day, spacing out your meals roughly every 2-5 hours, but remember that the portions need to be small. This helps you to get rid of the "diet hunger" and also boosts up your metabolism.
   
4. Go veggie. Vegeterian is the healthiest way to eat and it's the best diet to help you lose belly fat and boost your metabolism.
   
5. Make it more effective by boosting up your metabolism! Drink a cup of plain black coffee in the morning; caffeine is a booster! A cup of green tea during the day adds its own boost. Milk protein and milk products are very good, but choose the ones that are low in fat and sugar. Try to consume more chili, ginger and cinnamon, as these are the power three of metabolism. Lastly, drink enough water! Drink 6-8 cups of water everyday; if it's hard to remember, then try drinking a glass of water every time you eat.
   
6. Don't say no to candy, cookies, and treats! If you completely say no, you'll probably just get frustrated with the diet and fall for the treats faster. Allow yourself a dessert three times a week and remember again the portion size. It can be hard to eat a little bit, but when you eat the smaller portion, try to really concentrate on the food you're eating. What does it taste like? How does it feel? This helps you to get the maximum pleasure from the dessert so that you don't end up craving for more.
   
7. Exercise! A great solution is to, just like with the diet, mix it up! Don't do the same exercise routine day after day, or you'll just end up becoming bored. Try a site like 5min.com videos to get ideas on exercising. They have tons of different exercise routine and tip videos that you can't possibly get bored. Choose to do two of the video exercises per day, the videos are all 5min or a bit more so it doesn't take much time either! Try doing one hardcore workout video and one slower pace video everyday, e.g. do one aerobic video and one pilates or yoga video, so it's balanced. Try to also find a sport that you like. If you find a sport that you like, it helps you to keep the belly fat off after losing belly fat.
   
8. Take a break! Take weekends off the diet, diet from Sunday to Thursday but keep Friday and Saturday free. This really helps you not to feel strained when dieting! When you go to a party that you just can't eat healthy in, you can use these spare days to make up for the party, if you have a party on Wednesday, diet on Friday. Just remember that this is not an excuse to eat whatever you wish, but rather to give yourself a break from things.
   
9. Buy tops that you want to look good in, one or two sizes smaller than you are right now. It reminds you of your goal. Try visualizing yourself in that top. This is a small motivation source; if all other motivations sources fail, then you still have the top!
   
10. Keep in mind that this is something that you do for yourself, for health and for a better self-image. Don't do it for somebody else, or just because you feel pressured to.
