Belly Fat Women

Women have the hardest time losing weight. Hormones, emotions, menstruation, bloating, stress, and all the other things make losing fat such a difficult and enormous task.

In addition, to gender differences, women tend to starve themselves; women do not eat enough protein; women shy away from weight lifting; and women do not have as much muscle as their muscle counterparts.

These many factors cause women to hold onto fat on their bellies, hips and thighs.

What to do, what to do? First, let’s stop starving ourselves. Tom Venuto of Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle states that this only slows down your metabolism. Your metabolic rate determines how your body uses food for energy. Starving your body will force any food you intake to be stored as fat during times of famine. Yes, you can lose weight when you starve. Most of that weight will be muscle. That's why when you starve (and we all have tried this method), you lose weight on the scale but you still look like a flabby mess.

Eat every three hours. Eat a high protein meal with vegetables. That's it. Forget the processed carbs. Forget the alcohol. Forget the bread. Just eat some chicken. Have a salad and watch the weight fall off. Bread, white flour, processed foods, salt, sugar, alcohol, soda, and juice will make you crave bad foods and essentially feed the fat. Eggs, steak, chicken, tuna are great for developing those long, lean muscles. Vegetables keep you regular and provide you with great nutrients.

Losing fat is not a matter of starving; it’s all about eating right and exercising. Do you want to lose fat, then exercise HARD and work up a sweat. Cardio is king to burn the belly - try high intensity interval training.
