In order to get a flat stomach, effort and persistent actions are needed. A plan or strategy which contains the correct methods is equally important to me. In this article, I would like to share with you 5 simple tips which you can include in your plan. Without much nonsense, here are the 5 tips:
- Avoid Junk Foods: Any food contain high amount of calories and sugar is consider junk food. McDonald Big Mac, Cheese, egg, bacon Flan, ice cream etc are prohibited.
- Consume Good Carbs Foods: Including wholemeal bread, a large variety of fruits and vegetables in your diet plan is the best idea.
- Avoid Alcohol If Possible: You have probably heard of the term "beer belly" right? Yup, the more alcohol you consume, the higher possibility you would get a "beer belly". One gram of alcohol contains around seven calories in it, you can imagine how much calories you are taking when you bottom up a glass of beer.
- Sleep More: Study has shown that the people who sleep less can have the higher chance to develop belly fat. So, sleep more, at least 7 hours a day is a good idea.
- Eat More Meals: I know this may sound weird to you, but it is 100% effective. By taking more meals (at least 4 meals) but less portion daily can actually pass a signal to your body that the environment is not scarce of food, and the body will then convert the food into energy instead of storing it as body fat. This is how the body metabolism can be boosted and making the tummy fat burning being in lightning speed. Impressive method right? This is completely different from the methods that urging you to eat as less meals as possible daily.
I have mentioned in my previous posts that in order to lose weight fast, aerobic exercise is the most efficient way.
In fact, diet can't be forgotten as well.
I am going to tell you one diet strategy to lose weight in a quick manner.
- Plan your meal a day before and stick to the plan the next day. By doing so, you can refrain yourself from intaking "junk food" in the next day.
- Start your day by having high fiber breakfast like cereal.
- Have at least 4 meals a day but in small portion. This is the killer method to lose weight fast. Read the article of Lose The Tummy Fat for Further Discovery.
- Drink plenty of water between the meals to make your body hydrated. This is super useful in your body detoxification.
Workout is one of the most effective to lose weight. However, sometimes you have to fit an exercise routine into your already busy schedule, you might be tempted to simply skip the warm up routine, even though you’ve heard horror stories about people getting injured while working out. Three words: don’t do that. When you skip your warm up, you are not only putting your body as risk for personal injury, but you are also making the workout more difficult and less effective. For the best results, it is important to warm up every time you work out.
Warming up doesn’t have to eat up the time you allotted for exercise into your day. In fact, a decent workout only has to be 5 minutes long to do its job. It doesn’t have to be boring either—you can mix up a number of great moves to make your warm up as fun as the rest of your exercising. Remember that a good warm up gets all of your muscles moving, even if you don’t think that you’ll be intensely working out a set of muscles on any particular day. Warming up is also important regardless of if you’re doing cardiovascular exercises or lifting weights.
The moves you do for a warm up shouldn’t necessarily be difficult or make you break a sweat. The main goal of the warm up isn’t to become a part of your workout, but simply to slowly move muscles that you haven’t really thought about all day to wake them up. Good moves, therefore, include things like jogging in place, doing jumping jacks, lunging, and jumping rope.
A good warm-up can also including slowly stretching your muscles in a variety of ways, although this is usually more effective for a cool-down. Also consider exercises that work on balance and form in order to prepare you for the exercises you will be doing in the workout.
If you’re really short on time, why not try warming up before you even get to the gym. Slowly jog or power walk to the gym, park as far away as possible and lunge to the door, and take the stairs instead of the elevator. That way, when you get to the gym to workout your warm up routine is already half way done.
A good workout always builds in intensity. This is the best way to shed pounds and maintain a healthy weight. Weight loss workouts are only risky if you don’t warm up, because otherwise your body will respond to prevent injuries. Although you may be tempted to skip this step, that is never a good idea.
Over the past few decades, the Atkins diet has really hit the diet world with full force. This health phenomenon is based on The Atkins Diet, a book by Dr. Robert C. Atkins. His concept for weight loss is that we need to be concerned with the carbohydrates we eat, not the fat. Many people have found great success using the Atkins diet. However, it is not for everyone. Before you start the Atkins diet, or any kind of diet, talk to your doctor to make sure it is a good idea for you.
When you’re on the Atkins diet, there will be little calorie counting, but say good-bye to junk foods and processed foods. You will also be eating few carbohydrates and many foods high in protein. The theory behind the low-carb diet found with the Atkins diet is that by reducing your intake of these foods, you will enter a phase in your body called ketosis. During ketosis, your body will burn fat in the body for fuel instead of using the foods in your diet, which will in turn stop insulin production, which will in turn prevent more fat from being stored.
There are four main stages to the Atkins diet: induction, ongoing weight loss, pre-maintenance, and maintenance. During the first two weeks, you are in the induction stage. During this time, many people report losing 15 pounds or more, simply because carbohydrate intake is cut down to 20 grams every day. The only carbs you can have are low-carb vegetables, and even then they are very limited. The second stage, known as ongoing weight loss, will let you have 25 grams every day. You will then move on to pre-maintenance, in which you can try out other foods to see what carbohydrates you can add into your diet. After you’ve reached your weight loss goals, you may eat all good carbs, but the premise behind the diet plan is that you won’t want to eat these foods. Choosing healthy carbs will become a way of life.
As with any diet, you’ll have to exercise in order to lose weight. Healthy lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking, are also important. Many people have called into question the safety of the Atkins diet due to its severe methods, and some say that the plan only makes you bounce back to your original weight as so as you hit the maintenance level. The key is to find something that works for you and your weight loss goals and that is healthy for your body.
