How to Lose 15 Pounds of Belly Fat in Six Weeks

With summer soon approaching, it’s imperative to melt that winter belly fat. Read on to get a free weight loss plan to help you get in shape.

The easiest thing to start you on your goal is water intake. Water will help eliminate all that excess water retention you have. If you are within 10 to 15 pounds of your normal weight, aim for at least two liters of water per day. If you are a tad bit heavier or already work out crazy hard, aim for consuming a bit more than two liters - at least 3 liters.

Hate water? Try dropping some crystal light packets in or a little lemon juice. Sip water throughout the day, finishing before 5pm. Just doing this alone, will help you drop some water weight fairly quickly.

To make this really work, stay away from salty foods. Salt holds on to water. Processed foods, foods that come in packages, usually contain a ton of salt. So try your best.

Next, construct a diet plan. Stay away from simple carbs - like bread, crackers, cookies, sugar, etc. Keep it lean and clean with a protein source and a complex carb, like veggies or fruit. Don't bother counting calories or fat grams, these things are time consuming and really don't matter. As long as you’re eating clean, the calories will be within normal limits.

If you are going to cheat, do so in the morning only. Doing this allows your body a full day to burn off any excess calories. If you do it at night, your body will convert it to fat. Make sure your cheating is at a minimum.

For cardiovascular exercise, we will be doing interval training. Perform high intensity exercise, as fast and as hard as you can for one minute. Cool down for the next minute. Then back to high intensity for one minute. Do this for a max of twenty to thirty minutes.

You can choose any activity: swimming, jogging, jumping rope, boxing, etc. Go slow for one minute and then go as fast as you can for the next. You will be sweating profusely and burning off that belly fat in no time.

Lastly, muscle is key in this weight loss program. With muscle, you look toned and healthy, not flabby. Muscle burns a more calories than fat. So do weight training every other day - three days a week. During each muscle training session, work on one part of the body. One day do upper body. The next training session, focus on your lower body.

For example, for lower body do squats - 3 sets with 30 repetitions. Do walking lunges - 3 sets with 30 repetitions. Then 3 sets of circles - this is where you get on all fours, lift one leg straight and draw a circle with that leg. Do all of these exercises until you are completely exhausted and your legs are shaking.

Scrounge the internet for muscle building exercises. Use light weights and lots of repetitions, as this helps build long and lean muscles. Put your best effort into this workout, you will see noticeable changes in your body.

To sum up, drink at least two liters of water a day; eat a clean diet of protein and complex carbs; do twenty minutes of high intensity cardio at least six times a week; and weight train to the point of exhaustion at least 3 days a week. This free and simple weight loss plan will have you down 15 pounds in six weeks.
