Five Simple Steps To Losing Your Belly Fat Fast

Five Simple Steps To Losing Your Belly Fat Fast
I am going to tell all of you about how to get rid of your
fat belly and how to get rid of your beer gut. I am going
to teach you fast healthy weight loss tips for rapid weight
loss.

So, any of you guys out there with the big ol' beer gut and
you want to get rid of it fast, then keep reading.

How do you lose weight fast?

A real simple tip is and we've all been taught it, from the
time we were kids from our parents, is increase our
vegetable intake, more specifically your non-starchy
vegetable intake. It's not to hard to choose a vegetable
that's non-starchy.

The main reason is, because you want to be able to eat
something that is not caloricly dense but nutrient dense
and non-starchy vegetables. They're a great source of
fiber which is very important for helping you feel fuller
longer and not encouraging you to eat 30 minutes later.
You're going to be full for a long time. The fiber takes
longer to digest, so the body has to work harder and you
keep your insulin levels in check which is big for
preventing fat storage.

What is insulin which I mentioned above?

When you eat you get sugar in your blood and your body has
to get that sugar out of the blood and either use it as
energy or store it for use at a later time. Insulin does
that. When you ingest food and you get these sugars into
your blood, your insulin increases and gets those sugars,
pull them out of your blood and either, like I said, burn
them for energy or store them to be used at a later time.
When all of your carbohydrate glycogen levels are full,
then the only other alternative is to be stored as fat.
Insulin tends to promote fat storage because most peoples
glycogen/carbohydrate levels are usually pretty full, so
the alternative is fat storage.

You want to keep that insulin response low, which is one of
the main goals.

Alright, number 2, protein at every meal. We hear so much
about protein; again, most guys are probably meat and
potatoes guys. Why is it so important - how do we make the
transformation to just eating fatty protein sources to
types of proteins that you should be eating to help lose
that gut.

Most men are definitely meat and potatoes type of guys so
it definitely should be easy to get protein into your diet
consistently, but you also do want to control the types of
protein you get in. A fried chicken breast, or 18 chicken
wings from Hooters, probably isn't going to be the best
source. Yes, its protein, but you are also going to pack
in a lot of extra calories that you really don't need if
you're trying to lose your gut. So, one of the things you
want to do is to look for those lean protein sources.
Skinless chicken breasts, lean beef and steaks, fish
grilled not fried. Eggs are another good source.

Dairy is also another good source. If you like cottage
cheese or yogurts or things like that, you can get in your
lean protein that way as well.

Tip number 3 Eat whole grain carbohydrates.

So now, what is a whole grain carb? What's a good carb?
What's a bad carb? When am I supposed to be eating some of
these carbs?

A whole grain carb would be carbohydrates that are
considered a good source of fiber. Staying away from the -
you've heard the thing of no white breads and things like
that and white rice, and to a point there's validity to why
people say that. I don't know that they always know why
they are saying it, but the reason that they should try to
limit those is because those are usually made with
processed carbohydrates and very little fiber content.
You're whole grain carbs are going to be anything that says
100% whole grain. Wheat bread is just white bread that
hasn't been bleached. So you need to look for the whole
grain or the whole oats/grain wording in it to find out,
and look at the fiber source. Most of them should have at
least 2 grams of fiber per serving, if not 3 to be
considered a good fiber source. So, that will help you get
you your answer as well with that.

Alright, rapid weight loss diet tip number 4. Eat more
healthy fats. Now, this is very confusing for people, I'm
sure. Healthy fats, unhealthy fats, Trans fats, why is
this going to be such a big deal when it comes to losing
weight fast?

Your healthy fats is what's usually called essential fatty
acids, and what that means is that it's fatty acids and
fats that we can not produce in the body on our own, so we
have to get them through diet. Why essential fatty acids
are so important is because there's hundreds and hundreds
of studies that are showing that it helps with numerous
diseases.

It helps prevent certain diseases such as heart disease and
cancer. The studies are actually now showing that it may
actually increase your metabolism by as much as 400
calories a day and that's the big one when it comes to just
specific weight loss.

If you want to just throw out all the numerous health
benefits of why essential fatty acids are good and just go
off of the fact for weight loss and fat loss, it actually
helps increase your metabolism and there's also some
studies showing that it may actually block what they tend
to call pre-fat cells from turning into permanent fat
cells. So, again, that's another huge step in regards to
weight loss and trying to prevent weight gain. And,
essential fatty acids primarily are, what you'll also hear
or read, as Omega 3 fats.

You'll see that fish is an excellent source of Omega 3
fats. Use olive oil because of the essential fatty acids
and the Omega 3s. Walnuts and Almonds are another good
source and they're actually a good protein source, they
contain good fiber, and they contain healthy fat.

So, if you want a healthy snack, throw some almonds in a
bag and take them with you to work, keep them at your desk.
They're a great snack to help you feel full; help boost
that metabolism and it's actually a really good food for
you in many ways. You're getting your fiber, you're
getting your protein, you're getting your healthy fat,
you're getting three of the five tips I'm giving you today
just in one food, with that.

How to lose belly fat tip number 5.

Eat frequent meals. I'm sure you've heard it before eat
smaller meals throughout the day. You're probably having a
muffin and coffee for breakfast, having a big lunch, maybe
not eating all afternoon, come home and eat a huge, huge
dinner. How are you guys going to get 4-6 small meals a
day?

You do have to do a little planning ahead, but if you use
the previous four tips, you could cut up some vegetables
ahead of time on a Sunday and just put them in bags so that
you have them available to put into your lunch or as a
snack. Protein choices you've got the yogurt, you could
hard boil eggs, you could have string cheese as a snack.
Almonds, as we talked about.

Doing those types of things and plan ahead to where you
don't have to think the morning of, "Alright what am I
going to eat for my snack today? What am I going to do for
lunch? It's all already in the fridge. If you do maybe an
hour of planning on a Sunday, all you have to do is pack
it. Put it in individual bags, throw it in your cooler and
put it in the refrigerator at work, so that it's available.
That way, the less thinking you can take out of it, the
better off you're going to be.

Every time you eat your metabolism increases to digest that
food. Your body uses calories to digest calories? So, you
want to keep that metabolism revved up every day.

What guy doesn't want to eat. The worst thing about trying
to lose weight is you think you have to starve yourself and
that's the exact opposite that you want to do if you're
going to lose weight. You need to feed yourself and you
need to feed yourself consistently because then the weight
will come off. If you restrict eating and that metabolism
plummets your body has to survive. It goes into a survival
mode at that point and it's going to do everything possible
to burn as little calories as possible because you don't
feed it frequently enough.
