An optimal diet for weight loss is essentially cutting out MOST processed foods from your diet and getting rid of simple carbohydrates. Try going on a detox diet Just implementing this step alone will aid you in abdominal fat loss. The science behind this is that carbohydrates are used by the body for fat storage and fuel. If you don't eat carbohydrates, your body has no choice but to tap into fat reserves for energy. Meaning your body will use your fat belly to feed itself ... Ha, that's what we wanted.
So what do you end up eating ... basically choose a protein source, a fat source, and a complex carb. This is exactly what
Jessica Simpson did to get rid of her belly. Don't worry the complex carb will be fibrous and aid digestion - plus your brain needs carbohydrates to function. So a typical meal would be a 4 oz. steak, asparagus with a tbsp of olive oil. Yes, that would be the perfect meal to achieve fast belly fat loss.
Make sure you eat something with the above mentioned guidelines every three to four hours. This ensures your metabolism to be sky high and finally your body will release those fat stores on your midsection. The protein in your diet will substantiate the muscle you have. The complex carb or vegetable will aid digestion and keep you feeling full. The olive oil or fat also takes longer for your body to process and keeps your skin looking great.
Hormones play a role in belly fat loss as well. Examples of two such hormones - insulin and human growth hormone. Insulin is a hormone that regulates how much sugar is in your blood. Insulin demands that your body uses carbohydrates as fuel, not the fat on your tummy. So the goal is to keep your insulin levels low, because you want to use fat as fuel - NOT carbohydrates. Another reason to keep insulin levels low - insulin converts carbs to fat for storage. Lastly, insulin makes you hungry and continues this viscious cycle of over eating. Keep your insulin levels low. I can't stress this enough.
When you keep your insulin levels low, growth hormone can effectively be used for muscle development. And glucagon, another hormone, will burn fat. So, essentially keep insulin levels down by NOT eating simple carbohydrates - like bread, processed foods, and sugary food. When this is accomplished - glucagon and growth hormone can naturally do their jobs of burning fat and increasing muscle mass.
Some tips to keep the simple carbs away - drink water. Drink at minimum two liters a day. Water is needed for every single body function - digestion of food metabolism, body temperature maintenance, etc. Also, drinking water may help reduce the risk of colon, kidney, and bladder cancer. What a great incentive to drink water.
The last item you can add to your weight loss plan is exercise. Walk for thirty minutes. Play your favorite CD and dance. Do a cardio tape. Just add any activity you can a day. Take the stairs. Walk around the mall.
Look for more exercise tips and diet tips on the website. Start off slow on this weight loss plan. I promise you when you try to implement all the steps at once and then one step slips - you will say to hell with it all. So, just try implementing the diet changes graduallly in one month. Then the next month, try to eat every three hours. And exercise as often as you can and desire. You will start to feel better and will have more energy and enthusiasm to add more.
