For life long leanness, diet is where it’s at. As the old saying goes we are what we eat. So, therefore it just makes sense to eat healthy. If we do this every day we will see many times more benefit from our exercise program.
Firstly, fats is where it’s at for healthy eating. Healthy fats that is. Your body craves fat naturally and to cut it out of your diet all together is an invitation to disaster for diet. So be sure to put in some healthy fat when your planning your meals.
But, Where can you get them? Get your healthy fat from egg yolks, raw nuts and seeds, olive oil – extra virgin, coconut oil, avocados and free range (grass feed) Beef.
Second, Include protein in meals and snacks. Eating protein helps suppress your appetite and so, control your calorie intake. Protein does this by slowing down the processing of carbohydrates or “carbs”. Also, if you are working out you will need protein to help build muscle. More muscle means higher metabolism and more fat burning.
Third, Limit the amount of processed refined carbohydrates you eat. The main reason people struggle to lose belly fat is because they eat an excess of refined carbs. Take for example the bun on that fast food burger you had today. It is made from processed refined and enriched flour. Bread products made from this are called white breads. They are so refined that they immediately turn to sugar in your mouth. This sugar is immediately available to be turned into fat if your metabolism is not high enough to burn it off.
In my opinion if you implement these 3 tips to lose belly fat faster, you will be able to see results before you start working out. And, when you do start working out you will be amazed at how fast your belly fat will burn off.
