How to get rid of stomach fat and to slim tummy
(Last Updated: Feb 11, 2010)
Getting rid of stomach or belly fat is probably the most common problem faced all over the world. Although it is not of any significant medical importance that you get rid of this additional burden, having a toned stomach can be a major confidence booster and goes a long way into making somebody look more appealing. The fat around the belly is the most stubborn of the fat cells present anywhere in the body and will usually be lost right at the end of any weight loss regime. Like getting rid of any additional weight on the body, there are two main routes that people can choose to deal with the problem. The first one comprises of paying close attention to the kinds of food you eat and cutting down on most foods that will only serve to increase the fat content of your body. Using this route one will also need to pay close attention to the calorie intake on a daily basis against the number of calories the body requires in order to cope with the person’s daily schedule. The other route would be to start following an intensive exercise regime that will help burn any excess fat in the body – including the stubborn belly fat. The most effective method in order to get rid of belly fat though, happens to be a combination of these two routes.
While many people concentrate on choosing the right types of food, a number of them completely ignore the fact that the right eating habits also play a significant role in getting rid of belly fat. Proper chewing of the food helps turn the food into liquid before it is swallowed and this reduces the amount of space utilized within the stomach during digestion. People tend to eat a lot while under stress and controlling these urges are of prime importance if you are going to successfully achieve the desired outcome. Try eating only when you are hungry while creating a mixture of warm water mixed with the juice of half a lemon and a teaspoon of honey consumed on an empty stomach will help the detoxification process and rid you body of any waste. Daily exercise routines will not only help burn the excess fat, but will also help tighten up the muscles around the belly, giving the area a more polished and sculpted appearance. Abdominal exercises like double crunches and abdominal leg lowering are most effective.
