How to lose belly fat in a week

How to lose belly fat in a week



 The fad diets of the 1980s and 90s left behind an obesity epidemic, which has plagued us for years now. The latest study from Harvard’s T.D. Jakes Center shows that only 17% of US adults are fit, and it is estimated that 3-5% of these people are obese — 1 of every 10 of all Americans. This trend is alarming, but many of those who aren’t losing weight will gain weight anyway, due to various factors (such as sedentary lifestyles).

If you want to know how to lose this stubborn belly fat, then you need to get your fitness on track and sweat it out with some basic workout routines. If that’s too aggressive, then move towards more moderate exercises that include strength training or yoga.

The good news here though is that there is much more than just working out to help keep your belly fat away. You can also do a lot of self-care, by doing regular exercise, especially if you’re being slabby the whole time. And one last thing… don’t forget about drinking plenty of water, as well.

How can I keep myself motivated to begin exercising? Here is a list of 5 things you can do to burn off the calories.

1. Eat protein



The key to staying skinny is not eating enough protein. Excess pounds on the scale come down to diet or exercise and not going overboard with the protein intake, especially when you’re trying to drop weight

For example, according to some studies, if you eat 1–2 grams of protein daily, you’ll fall within their “moderate protein diet” and maintain a healthy weight. But if you have too much of an excess protein intake, then the body gets confused and starts running, creating cortisol, which has been linked to appetite and obesity in particular.

2. Add vegetables



Having a high amount of vegetables in your diet has been proven to lower the risk of developing abdominal obesity. Even some foods that are high in carbohydrates, such as potatoes and brown rice, are better sources of fibre and can help stabilize blood sugar levels in the diet. These types of food should be kept in moderation. Many of them, like cabbage, onions, broccoli, and eggplant, also contain powerful antioxidants and minerals that aid in weight loss. So instead of limiting yourself to vegetables, consider eating greens, as they have strong nutrients.

3. Cut carbs



Fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber and have a low-calorie count. They’re so filling and offer all the essential vitamins and minerals you’re looking for. But since they also contain simple sugars that aren’t digested or absorbed well, you’ll feel bloated after eating. Some varieties of fruits and vegetables though are loaded with carbs. For instance, milk contains a very high amount of carbs compared to other dairy products. Milk also comes with a higher glycemic index, when compared to the average amount of carbs you eat on most occasions. On top of that, milk contains artificial additives, preservatives, and colors that make the product look and taste like regular milk. That means that milk has been known to cause excessive appetite and other side effects including cholesterol buildup in the liver, and causing your skin to become dry. It needs to be understood that a

A higher glucose level doesn’t mean that you’re having a healthier appetite or that you’re consuming fewer calories at once.

4. Have low fats

Saturated fats include the likes of trans fats and triglycerides. Trans fats and trans fats from processed and fried foods are linked to a higher risk of developing belly fat, which may also lead to heart disease. Your body produces trans fats if needed but if the same trans fats are present in your diet, there isn’t much point. Instead of adding more saturated fats into your diet, try replacing part of it with polyunsaturated fats. Saturated fats should be avoided from all diets as they contribute a higher percentage of total fat in the diet and lead to greater risks for both diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

The best way to avoid trans fats and trans fats are to cut back on junk food and choose quality natural and organic foods (and even sometimes frozen), as they often have high amounts of these fats from the farm.

5. Drink lots of water



Watermelon helps burn excess water and is great for digestion. According to research published in 2015, water can kill up to 70% of bacteria that might cause tooth decay. Water is also considered to help promote healthy brain function and slow age-related cognitive decline. A full glass of water is recommended to decrease the risk of a stroke or a heart attack.

There are countless reasons to drink lots of water at night, as dehydration could cause you to retain water in the body longer, and this could cause a spike in fever, abdominal pain, and other symptoms. Drinking tons of water regularly will also provide you with electrolytes to replenish fluids lost during workout sessions.

What foods help with my weight loss? The good news is that there are lots of delicious options for making small changes that can assist you in burning more carbs and fats. Here are some popular choices:

Tossing salads and taking raw veggies

Adding fresh fruit and olive oil and baking soda to cooked and baked goods

Adding eggs

Adding salt

Adding herbs and spices that have been dried

Adding frozen vegetables and fruit

Adding cheese

Giving sweet tea to sweeten your coffee

Adding honey

Portion control

Makes sense for me at least. One main thing I find frustrating with my weight loss journey is how bad I tend to over-eat. My boyfriend usually tells me that I don’t have the willpower to control my portions, and I think he’s right. After all, he’s always hungry.

But I’ve tried some weight-loss tricks and the results haven’t been that great yet. There are lots of different methods that I use to restrict certain items from my meals (chips/corners/cheese, cookies, cakes, yogurt, etc.). The trick is to take the time to prepare your meals ahead of time, so you won’t be tempted just when you’re craving something sweet. Then, when I feel hungry after a long day of work, I opt for ice cream instead of a milkshake.

I personally love frozen veggies, as I find them very easy to cook and tasty.

I also make sure I have everything stored in plastic containers labeled for individual servings.

And remember, just because you might not feel hungry at 4 pm doesn’t mean that you should pack your fridge with your favorite foods and snacks instead of having healthy options (such as cereal bars, granola bars, smoothies, and oatmeal bars). When I am really hungry, I go through multiple episodes of bingeing before lunch.
