It seems that men and women everywhere are talking about how difficult it is to spot and reduce specific areas of the body.
One of the most frustrating spots for women tends to be the belly bulge. Regardless of how well someone eats and how much they push themselves at the gym, the trouble area remains.
It becomes all-consuming, we think about it all day long and hate it. When we wake up in the morning and button our pants or zip up our skirts, all we notice is our fat.
We swear we will find the solution and step back into the sexy body we had years ago.
You may be doing a few things that unknowingly sabotage your ability to banish that bulge once and for all.
1. Your meals lack color – Your mom was onto something when she told you to eat your vegetables. Various studies have proven that if individuals reduce cortisol levels surging in their bodies, they are more prone to reducing belly fat. Bright vegetables and fruits are known to reduce cortisol. The more colorful you make your meals, the greater your chance of diminishing your belly fat!
2. Eating the wrong fat – You need fat to burn fat. This is something that individuals often forget. Our society has made “fat” the bad guy. But the truth is, without fat, you can’t burn fat. However, not all fat is created equal. You must minimize trans fats and increase the intake of healthy fats found in foods like avocados, some nuts, oils, and fish. Paying attention to what type of fat you eat can impact your ability to shed fat, especially in the belly area.
3. Too many processed and canned foods – Insulin is a hormone that causes your liver to store belly fat. When you consume large amounts of processed and canned foods (that tend to be packed with simple carbohydrates and chemicals), your body releases more insulin to bring the converted sugar out of the bloodstream and into the cells. This increased insulin production makes you more prone to weight gain, especially in the belly area.
Stick to foods that are fresh and not packaged. You will benefit your body, metabolism, and energy level if you shop the perimeter of the store!
4. Not enough magnesium in your diet – Magnesium is a beautiful mineral that many of us are lacking adequate amounts of. It helps regulate blood sugar levels and helps promote the growth of healthy gut bacteria. Beneficial gut bacteria are critical to maintaining a healthy body weight. Studies show that thinner people have more healthy gut bacteria than others. Foods like leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and fish are all.
5 Ways to Beat Belly Fat (and One Bonus Way!)
For men and women alike, belly fat can be one of the most frustrating things on the planet. Everyone is always seeking non-invasive long-lasting fat reduction options to lose their belly fat. Although you can hide it under clothes, nothing can make you escape that little voice that rears its ugly head when you are in a swimsuit, undressing or hopping into the shower.
There are thousands of products out there that claim to eliminate belly fat. Some are legitimate and others are not.
Below we will let you know a few things you can eat and two things you can do to diminish belly fat for good finally!
- Eat black beans: Legumes are full of protein and fiber. Both of protein and fiber are appetite crushers. Thanks to their dark color, black beans are also one of the highest in flavonoids of all the beans. Research suggests that flavonoids curb the storage of excess stomach fat.
- Enjoy nuts (within reason of course): You must eat fat to lose fat. However, you must eat the right fat and in the right amount. Healthy fats found in nuts are burned more readily than less healthy fats found in other less healthy and nutrient-rich foods
- Drink tea: The white version of this brew may be a veritable fat blaster. When human fat cells were treated with white tea extract in a lab study, the cells absorbed about 70% less fat than the untreated cells. And those same tea compounds also triggered the breakdown of fat in existing cells.
- Use apple cider Vinegar: This product is often used to improve sauces and salad dressings. But it also has a bonus, it contains acetic acid, a component that helps the body burn fat while at the same time inhibiting the body from storing fat. So next time you are at the store, reach of the apple cider vinegar.
- Stress Less: Reducing stress helps burn belly fat too. Sadly most of us walk around in a state of chronic stress. This boosts the level of cortisol. Cortisol encourages belly fat.
