Belly fat is the most common and It is fast
becoming a menace in our society. Up until last
month I also had my share of this problem even
with my medical and sporting background.
Getting rid of the fat
There are four keys to controlling belly fat:
exercise, diet, sleep, and stress management.
Exercise
Vigorous exercise burns all your fat, including belly
fat. Get at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise at
least 5 days a week. Walking also counts, as long
as it’s brisk enough that you work up a sweat and
breathe harder, with your heartbeat faster than
usual. You must also develop the habit of doing sit-
ups. It greatly worked for me. You can break it
down to sets. You don’t have to do many at the
beginning. Work your way up.
Diet:
There is no magic diet for belly fat. But when you
lose weight on any diet, belly fat usually goes
first.Our body system is like a computer and it is
‘garbage in garbage out’. Cut down on the calories
and your bod get rids of the belly fat first. Drink a
glass of water before every meal. You can reduce
your meal to 2 a day. I did a crash course and it
involved glass of fruit juice in the morning and just
one meal in the evening. Eat more fibre to help in
quick digestion and elimination.
Sleep
Getting the right amount of shut-eye helps. In one
study, people who got 6 to 7 hours of sleep per
night gained less visceral fat over 5 years
compared to those who slept 5 or fewer hours per
night or 8 or more hours per night. Sleep may not
have been the only thing that mattered — but it was
part of the picture.So sleep very well.
Stress
Everyone has stress. How you handle it matters.
The best things you can do include relaxing with
friends and family, meditating, exercising to blow off
steam, and getting counseling. That leaves you
healthier and better prepared to make good choices
for yourself. Stay calm at all times and be healthy.
There are a lot of things you will read that can help
with losing belly fat but none compares to these
four ways of managing your belly fat. Just create a
regimen that works for you and you can maintain.
Remember the key to all this is maintaining the
routine. You can manipulate the regimen; for
example if you increase your calorie intake, you
can increase exercising. You must also find a way
to motivate yourself. When I was younger and still
in school, my motivation was ‘fun’ and I was part of
the basketball team because I enjoyed it. I lost that
after leaving school. I got my ‘mojo’ back last
month because I was motivated by a woman. Lets
leave it at that, find your motivation and lose that
