Losing belly fat is the same as losing fat anywhere else on your body.

Spot reducing fat in one area of your body isn’t realistic. Consider your body fat as a swimming pool with a deep end and a shallow end, as it’s going to take the deep end longer to empty.

To lose belly fat permanently, you will have to make sure that your eating habits are all cleaned up. You are what you ate.

Essentially, processed foods are not good for the body, and that goes double with the amount of sugar and salt contained in them.

By continuing to eat these high calorie and less nutritious foods, you will never lose your belly fat. No matter how much exercise you do. The definition of insanity is to continue doing the same thing and expect a different result. STOP THE INSANITY!

If you consider that our bodies have evolved, over thousands of years, to grow and develop on natural foods, it will start to make sense why all these boxed and processed foods have caused people to get fatter and fatter as they get older and acquire all the other symptoms you can think of that are referred to as age-related diseases.

Consider that your fat stores are your body’s toxic dumping grounds for all the crap it can’t use and that it is on you, dragging you down and holding you back. It’s pretty hard to accumulate belly fat if you have a diet of clean natural food and you don’t consume more than your body can use at one meal.

The body will start showing symptoms after it takes repeated abuse for a long period of time. Like large deposits of belly fat.

The reason that it’s so hard to eat correctly, and lose belly fat, is that we have unconsciously developed bad eating habits. We tend to eat for taste as opposed to nutrition. Said differently, we tend to “live to eat” rather than “eat to live”.” By the way, eating healthy doesn’t have to taste bad and be boring. The road to losing your belly fat is all about changing those things that you are presently doing that got you where you are.

Remember this: It is not possible to out train a bad diet. Try to remember that it is very easy to consume a thousand calories within minutes.

It will take hours or days of work to burn that off, and in the meantime, you will put down another thousand or so calories.

Those kinds of calories are always bad food, calorie dense and nutritionally poor. Food that is high in nutrition is usually low in calories such as fresh vegetables.

So you want to know how to lose belly fat? Here are the basic rules;

1) Every meal needs to consist of lean protein, simple and complex carbohydrates and good fat.

2) Determine your resting metabolic rate, based on your weight (lean mass) and your activity level, then consume 15% – 20% under that caloric requirement.

3) Burn more calories by exercising, preferably exercising to gain more muscle mass, as this will increase your metabolic rate and cause you to burn more calories.

4) Eat 5 – 6 meals per day, about every 3 hours. If you follow these very basic guidelines you should lose 1.5 lbs – 2 lbs a week of mostly fat. Remember, you want to build muscle and burn fat.

You will have to train yourself for healthy living as well as getting proper control of your habits.

This is all about conquering yourself.

If you try to lose weight (fat) too fast, it is very possible that you will gain it all back.

Retraining yourself is all important and if you go with methods that don’t give you the power to be in control, you will ultimately lose. Crash diets and pills are never the answers.

You will have to educate yourself about living healthily and that path is usually a long one. The time is going to pass no matter what, so you might as well do it right and make it permanent.
