Lose Belly Fat And Keep It Off

Our lives move at such a rapid pace nowadays and we want everything NOW – at the click of a button. But losing weight and excess belly fat is one of those things that is best achieved slowly.

Setting yourself long term weight loss goals is far more achievable and sustainable. Don’t punish yourself for the odd treat or meal out with friends enjoying your favourite naughty foods. Over the long term, this will all balance out. Your life will be much happier if you accept this from the very start.

The best road to successful weight loss starts with gentle exercise and by acknowledging the eating regime and lifestyle choices that you made that triggered your body into storing belly fat and excess weight.

Starting the beginners exercise regime in the Fat Loss factor will help you to achieve your first weight loss successes without having to go to the gym.

These simple exercises are best done in the comfort and privacy of your own home and will see amazing results in just 15 minutes a day.

Just follow the actions in the excellent videos and use their online tracker to measure your successes. Then progress through the program of 15 minutes a day exercises as you get fitter and stronger.

Fat Loss Factor will then introduce you to ways of improving your diet to help you achieve your weight loss targets.

Your long term health and happiness will be achieved by small daily changes that over time have a substantial affect. It is all about habit, modify your unhealthy habits one at a time.  

Each habit, whether it be eating from a smaller plate, a daily exercise or swapping an unhealthy ingredient for a healthy option, be consistent and after 30 days that new habit will be set for life.

This is vital for long term results and health, but we all understand that if we see quick results and feel great in the beginning of our weight loss program that will help us to be motivated to continue.

Metabolism issues and yo yo diets that you have tried in the past can actually restrict your weight loss progress. Sometimes the old school methods of exercise and eating healthily are not going to give you the results that you want in the time scale that you set yourself. Sometimes, seeing immediate results will motivate you for the long term and Fat Loss Factor has to be the easiest diet and exercise program to follow. 

Did you know that your body will burn fat even while you are asleep. Creating this momentum for fat burning starts with exercise and contrary to popular belief, you do not lose weight during a workout, it is the following night and day, as your body recovers, that the fat burning takes place. Any exercise that helps strengthen your core will trigger this burning of belly fat.

Starting your day with exercise is commonly recommended and can help your body to burn fat throughout the day. There are easy ways to achieve this in your day to day activities that can help! Even just parking your car further away from your destination to increase your walking distance can help, whether you are travelling to work or even to your local grocery store or the mall. Walk up stairs rather than taking the elevator etc. etc. Get yourself a handy pedometer that clips on to your pocket or belt and track how many steps you are taking throughout the day. Set your targets a little higher every day.

Don’t Forget! Food is of vital importance to your weight loss goals! Not eating enough of the right foods will slow down long term effectiveness, and eating to excess will obviously cause more calories in and more pounds added! I find that eating small meals more often helps you feel less hungry, especially if you focus on nutritious foods…your body craves the vitamins and minerals and if you eat too many foods without them you will soon crave more food! And normally the Wrong Foods!

Keeping your body properly hydrated is vitally important for life, not just weight loss.

Take some time and think about your daily routine and the foods that you eat. Introduce new healthy foods into your diet replacing the ones that you know are hindering your fat burning and weight loss goals and objectives. Simple changes will produce big results over time and improve your health and vitality, and make you and the people around you happier in life!

High Protein Foods That Burn Belly Fat And Raise Metabolism

In this article, we will be showing you how to raise your metabolism by up to thirty percent just by including foods high in protein into your daily healthy diet plans.

As your body digests your food, it uses energy in the form of calories. This is called the metabolic rate or thermal value. The higher the metabolic rate, the more calories your body burns just in this process of digesting your last meal.

Different types of food will take more energy to digest and use more calories in this process than others. This is calculated as the number of calories that it uses to digest 100 calories of food.

For example, for your body to digest 100 calories of fats, your digestive process will use 5 calories of energy. For carbohydrates, your body will burn around 10 calories in digesting 100 calories of food. Compare these to the metabolic rate of high protein foods. These foods high in protein will use 30 calories of energy to digest 100 calories.

The reason for this big difference in the calories needed to digest proteins compared to fats or carbohydrates is because these high protein foods tend to have more complex structures and more nutrients. This is why they require more energy in the form of calories to break down in your digestive system and absorb into your blood stream.

So, why does your body need proteins?

Every type of cell in your body contains protein. It is the very building block of life. Watch this video to get an idea of how critical proteins are for every part of your body.

Your body contains 100 trillion cells and each cell has it’s own function. It takes thousands of proteins to make all of your cells work. In fact, about fifty percent of your body’s dry weight is protein. Proteins do a lot of different things in your body including building muscles, skin, digest food and move things around your body as well as doing many other functions in the body. Proteins create the structure of our body and enable nutrients to pass from cell to cell within it. It builds mu

Proteins are primarily used as our body’s building blocks. They are most abundant in animal products, lean meats, eggs and low-fat cottage cheese are great protein sources. (Protein is also found, to a lesser degree, in beans, nuts, and various grains for you vegetarians out there.) Proteins are found in every cell in our bodies. Our muscles, hair, skin, nails, hormones, and blood all contain protein. And protein is extremely important both to our overall immunity and health.

Protein is also an extremely important (but often overlooked) fat-loss nutrient. Why? Proteins (along with resistance exercise) actually help your body change shape by adding muscle and increasing your metabolism. Remember, the point isn’t just to lose weight. The point is to lose fat, and increase muscle.

Easy Healthy Tomato And Roasted Red Pepper Soup

This easy healthy tomato and roasted red pepper soup is ideal for anyone who is trying to lose weight or slimming on a diet aimed at getting rid of belly fat. Suitable as a starter for lunch or dinner, this recipe serves 6 people. Or 4 for lunch with a salad.

I find that the best weight loss recipes need to have a touch of luxury about them and in this recipe we use proper cream. Only use cream from organically sourced grass fed cattle as this adds extra beneficial micro nutrients without the extra chemicals fed to intensively reared cattle. The saturated fat in the cream will not be a problem.

Ingredients

1 large Red Bell Pepper
10 ripe Tomatoes
2 medium sized Onions
3 cloves of Garlic
1 dessert spoon of natural unrefined Demerara Sugar
1 pint of boiling hot Water
3 tablespoons of Organic Cream from grass fed cattle
4 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 level teaspoon of smoked paprika
Coarse Sea Salt
Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Method

Start by preheating the oven to 350F/180C/Gas4.

Get a baking tray and line it with parchment or baking paper. Cut the red bell pepper in half lengthways and remove the stalk and seeds. Cut each half into 3 and place on the baking tray. Cut your 10 tomatoes in to halves and add to the tray skin side down. Drizzle over with 2 tablespoons of the extra virgin olive oil and season with a little coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Roast the pepper and tomatoes for approximately 40 minutes, so that they are well softened but not blackened.

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large stove to pan. Peel and chop the 2 medium sized onions and add them to the pan. We want them to soften but not brown. When the red pepper pieces and the tomatoes are ready, remove the baking tray from the oven and add them to your softened onions in the pan.

Finely chop the garlic and add it to the pan along with the pint of hot water, the Natural unrefined Demerara sugar (any Unrefined sugar is ok) and the smoked paprika. Stir well together and simmer for 20 minutes.

After cooking, leave to cook for a minute and then pour carefully into a food processor or blender and blitz until smooth. Then pass it through a sieve to remove any remaining bits of tomato pip or skin and return to the pan and get it back up to serving temperature.

Serve in bowls or mugs with a swirl of the organic cream on the top.

Enjoy!

The small amount of Unrefined sugar in this recipe will not spike your blood sugar and is included to enhance the natural sweetness in the tomatoes. And the cream – because being on a diet does not have to be boring and bland.

Healthy Condiments Top 5 To Help Get Rid Of Belly Fat Fast

So many of the store bought condiments are full of soybean fat or packed full of bad sugars like high fructose corn syrup. Even the one’s that say low fat usually have a higher calorie count as they compensate the lower fat with higher sugar levels.

Here is my Top 5 healthy condiments:-

Salsa

Try swapping your tomato ketchup for tomato salsa. Most store bought salsas do not contain any sugar or oil at all and being made from a selection of veggies, this is a great healthy option and one that you can easily make at home.

Here is my quick and easy Salsa recipe

250g/8oz of ripe fresh tomatoes
2 mild chillies (seeds removed for less heat if required)
1 medium sized onion
small bunch of cilantro/coriander leaves
1 tablespoon of water
freshly ground coarse sea salt and black pepper to season
freshly squeezed lime juice

Finely chop the tomatoes, chillies and the onion and put into a bowl. Finely chop the leaf end from the cilantro/coriander bunch and mix in to the contents of the bowl. Add the water to loosen up the mix and a few grinds of the coarse sea salt and black pepper to season. Finish up with the lime juice to give it some zing and wake up all the flavors.

Guacamole

Avocados are super healthy anyway so making a great tasting condiment from them is ideal for anyone on any healthy eating or weight loss plan. When buying guacamole from your store, be sure to check the ingredients list as some do contain the bad trans fats. But, in general, guacamole is definitely a healthy option packed full of vitamins and minerals as well as being high in soluble fiber and antioxidants.

My Guacamole recipe takes just a couple of minutes to make

3 ripe avocados
2 mild chillies (remove the seeds for less heat if required)
2 ripe tomatoes
1 small onion
Juice of 1/2 a lime
freshly ground coarse sea salt
bunch of cilantroc / coriander leaves
a tablespoon or 2 of water

I use a food processor for this recipe but you can use a pestle and mortar to break down the ingredients after finely chopping them and then mashing in the avocado.

Roughly chop the chillies, tomatoes, onion and cilantro / coriander leaves and put them into a food processor. Add the lime juice and a tablespoon of water and blitz up to a paste. Then scoop out the avocado flesh and add this to the processor and blitz again for just a short time to mix in but not too fine a mixture. Add more water if required to get the consistency that you like.

Hummus

Hummus is very versatile as well as being healthy. When buying from your store, check to make sure that you select one that does not have soybean oil in it. I use Hummus as a dip for raw veggies like carrot sticks, celery, cucumber and cauliflower for a healthy snack. I also use it as a spread instead of butter in a sandwich.

My own recipe is another simple blitz in a food processor job.

1 400g can of Chickpeas in water – preferably unsalted
juice of 1 lime – or lemon
3 cloves of garlic
3 tablespoons of tahini paste
freshly ground sea salt to season
120ml/4fl oz extra virgin olive oil
a tablespoon or 2 of water as required

Drain and rinse the chickpeas. put them into the food processor with all the other ingredients and blitz. Add extra water if required to get to your desired consistancy.

Pesto

Pesto is another condiment that is packed full of goodness. Healthy fats from the olive oil and the pine nuts and plenty of vitamins and antioxidants from the basil and garlic. Use it as a dressing on salads or an extra flavour in sandwiches. Spread it on chicken pieces before cooking, or fish or when roasting vegetables like aubergines and zuccini / courgettes.

Quick and easy to make in a food processor

50g/2 ounces of basil leaves
3 cloves of garlic
25g/1 ounce of parmesan cheese
50g/2 ounces of pine nuts
100ml/3 fl oz extra virgin olive oil
grind of freshly ground coarse sea salt to season

Blitz together the basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts and parmesan cheese and then drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil to get the right consistency – add more oil if required.

I often vary this recipe by using flat leaved parsley or cilantro / coriander leaves and also by adding sun dried tomatoes or even some red bell pepper.

Mustard

Most store bought varieties are pretty healthy as they don’t normally contain any added sugar and are generally fat free. I normally pick the wholegrain varieties with the mixture of whole mustard seeds in them but even just plain yellow mustard usually contains paprika and turmeric which are packed full of antioxidants.

English mustard gives the hottest bite and making it up from the powdered version is simple with just a little water or milk.

Whether you are just trying to eat healthily or are trying to lose weight, there are great healthy condiments that will help you to reach your goals. Check out more of my healthy recipes.

Top 4 Worst Condiments For Belly Fat And My Healthy Options

Trying to lose belly fat is full of temptations and one of the things that I found most challenging were the condiments that I used to put on my food.

Most of us like to put some types of condiments onto our food whether it is just ketchup or mustard on a burger or hotdog or a salad with mayo or salad dressing.

But, Do you know which one’s will help you to lose belly fat and which one’s will just make you put on even more weight and pollute your body with chemicals.

Here is my 4 worst condiments and how to create healthy recipe versions.

Let’s start with the common condiments that really have bad ingredients.

Tomato Ketchup

Tomato Ketchup used to be my favorite condiment and I would put it on everything and even in sandwiches and use as a cooking ingredient as well. Yes, the tomatoes are healthy and contain lycopene which has been found to have cancer preventing properties, but ketchup is often very sweet and most brands are packed full of high fructose corn syrup which is definitely bad for you.

I use Passata which is concentrated rich tomato juice and add some smoked paprika powder to add some sweetness and extra flavour.

BBQ Sauce

Barbeque Sauce has to be worse than Tomato Ketchup as it has less good tomatoes and more bad sugars and high fructose corn syrups.

Here is my Healthy Barbeque Sauce recipe

Ingredients

3 cloves of garlic
1 small onion
2 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 red chilli
1 teaspoon of fennel seeds
3 tablespoons of Maple Syrup
2 tablespoons of dark Soy Sauce or my favorite Organic Tamari Soy sauce
Freshly ground coarse sea salt and black pepper to season
1/2 pint /300ml of Tomato Passata

Method

Finely chop the onion and the red chilli (leave the seeds out for a milder version) and crush the garlic and the fennel seeds. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and add the onion, chilli, garlic and fennel seeds and cook until the onion has softened but not browned.

Add the Maple Syrup, Soy Sauce and the Passata and stir. Bring up to the boil and then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 or 3 minutes to thicken the sauce.

Season to taste with the freshly ground black pepper and sea salt.

Mayo

Mayonnaise and tartar sauce are made in similar ways and most store brands definitely are not healthy options. This is because they are made with soybean oil which can cause inflammation and also unbalances the ratios of omega 3 and 6 in your body. Definitely avoid any brands that contain Canola oils.

Mayo can be a healthy option but only if it is made with a healthy oil like Extra Virgin Olive Oil and is easy to make yourself in a liquidiser.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon of Organic Cider Vinegar
1 tablespoon of Dijon or American Mustard
2 Yolks from Organic or Free Range Eggs
7fl oz/200ml of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Method

Add the 2 egg yolks, the cider vinegar and the mustard to the liquidiser and blitz or whisk together in a bowl.
Add the olive oil in to the liquidiser slowly with it running – or to the bowl you are whisking.

As you slowly add more oil into the mix whilst blitzing or whisking, the mixture should thicken up to become Mayonnaise.

I often add Crushed garlic as well for a bit of a kick or even a couple of handfuls of watercress leaves blitzed in or finely chopped and added for great color, flavor and all that added iron and minerals.

Salad Dressing

Most store bought salad dressings are made with the same culprit ingredients. They are usually sweetened with loads of refined sugars or high fructose corn syrup and the oils used are often Canola oil or Soybean oils. An when it says on the bottle – low fat – that just means that they have replaced some of the fats with more bad sugars.

Here is my healthy salad dressing recipe

For ease of use, I make my salad dressing in one of those bottles with a squirty top so that I can just shake and squirt, if you know what I mean.

Put in 2 crushed cloves of garlic, 1 small shallot also crushed and 1/2 a teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.

Add 2 teaspoons of maple syrup (use the real one and not just flavoring)

Make up the rest of the volume with one third of Organic Cider Vinegar
One third Balsamic Vinegar
One third Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Then just Shake and Squirt!

Try these healthy versions and never feel guilty about them again when you are on your quest to get rid of belly fat.

Do Carbs Make You Fat – Carbs That Burn Fat

Do Carbs Make You Fat?

Carbs and Fat Bellies – Do Carbs Make You Fat?

There is so much confusion about carbohydrates (carbs).  I am often asked -

~ Are carbohydrates making me fat and making me store belly fat?
~ Do ALL carbs make me fat?

NO - You need carbohydrates to make your body function properly. You will not have any energy. Your brain and your spinal cord will not function well if you do not eat carbohydrates.

Now, exactly what is a CARB. – Yes, they are things like bread, pasta and potatoes, but there are also fruits and vegetables and some beans. Most people just think about bread and pasta and ignore the carbs available in fruit and vegetables.

When you eat a carbohydrate, the body takes them and breaks them down to glucose. You need that glucose in the blood to function well. Your body stores the glucose in your liver and your muscles. So if you exercise, you really need carbs.

The problem is that a lot of people are eating an over abundance of carbohydrates, especially in the form of over processed foods and baked goods, especially in breads and pastas and that is where they are going wrong. The thing that happens with carbohydrates is that they turn into glucose and if your body does not use it then it turns it into fat and stores it around your body as fat.

So what is the solution?

You need to eat carbs for energy and to function, but you don’t want to eat too many carbs and gain weight.

Follow these rules and you will have enough energy without putting on weight and belly fat.

~ Only eat starchy carbohydrates after activity and after exercise or workouts.
~ Keep away from pasta and breads, especially wheat based products.
~ Stick to carbohydrates like Sweet Potatoes, Brown Rice, Grains like Millet, Quinoa and Spelt.

Those heavier starchy carbohydrates are fine to eat after a heavy workout or long period of activity.

The carbohydrates from fruit and vegetables, you can have at every meal – good carbs that burn fat.

For example:

~ Have a bowl of berries with your breakfast cereal
~ Have an apple with your lunch
~ Definitely have vegetables with every meal throughout your day.

So now you are getting all of the carbohydrates that your body requires but it is not toast with breakfast, tortillas as snacks, pasta with lunch and some more rice with dinner. That is way too many carbohydrates for one day, unless you are an athlete and really training for several hours a day.

But most of us aren’t training for hours each day so here is a good example of how to eat a reasonable amount of carbs every day.

~ Have Eggs with your breakfast followed by a bowl of berries – Blueberries, Raspberries or even Strawberries
~ Snack with an Apple or a handful of raw nuts – especially Almonds or Walnuts
~ Lunch with plenty of both raw and cooked Vegetables and an Orange or other fruit
~ Afternoon Snack of Celery sticks, Carrot sticks and Almond butter
~ Dinner, include Salad and plenty of vegetables with your favorite Chicken, Beef or Tofu

This will provide your body with sufficient carbohydrates for the day, you are not going to gain weight and you will still feel energized and great.

3 Big Problems Stopping You From Losing Belly Fat

I have discovered 3 Big Problems that are stopping most people from losing belly fat and achieving their weight loss goals. To have that flat belly that they aspire to have and to maintain their ideal weight.

1. Your metabolism is all mashed up.

Many years of unhealthy eating and yo-yo dieting have literally broken your calorie-burning furnace. This means that your body just wants to store fat 24/7. The problem with low calorie or calorie restricted diets is that your body thinks that it is under-nourished so it conserves energy by slowing down your metabolism. This means that when you restrict calorie still further, this problem gets worse not better at your body stores even more fat.

2. You are eating the wrong foods.

That bulging beer belly or pooch area or belly fat is in fact not all just fat. The problem is that it also contains pounds of toxic waste as a result of the types of foods that you have been eating that are packed full of additives. Most of the chemical additives that food companies put into their processed foods are highly addictive and are designed to make sure that you want to eat more and more of them. These junk foods are causing your fat storing hormones to go into overdrive which adds yet more to your belly fat bulge. These foods also clog up your digestive system which stops you absorbing the nutrients that your body does need to function correctly.

3. You are overfed but under-nourished.

To keep your body fit both physically and mentally, you need to feed it with beneficial nutrients. Without these, your body cannot fight off diseases like diabetes, heart disease and depression. If your daily diet prescribes foods that are lacking the right nutrients or your toxic waste is stopping those nutrients from being absorbed, your head will always be saying ‘feed me – feed me now’ and you will be desperately fighting those hunger pangs. Your cravings to stuff yourself with even more nutrient deficient foods just make the whole situation even worse in a perpetual cycle.

Do you ever feel hungry all the time in your struggle for beating the bulge and losing belly fat?

Click on the link to see what Nutrition Coach Josh Bezoni says can help you to fix your belly fat problems and start including foods that burn belly fat into your daily meals.

Self Hypnosis For Weight Loss

For some of us, our first exposure to hypnosis may well have been looking at stage hypnotists getting people to do absurd things in front of a live audience. These performances are evidently only a bit of fun even though it could have led to the concern that in some way, you give up the control of your mind when you are hypnotized.

This is not true since all that is really happening is that normal inhibitions are overcome whilst under hypnosis. The fact is that hypnosis has shown therapeutic value when used in the field of weight loss. In this article, we will be taking a look at how this can help you in your how to get rid of belly fat diet, to get fitter and healthier, quicker.

The first most apparent use for hypnosis is how it can assist with conditions of the mind such as stress and depression. For a lot of men and women who suffer in this way, it is often assumed that it is simply who they are and that they have a natural disposition to be stressed and worried. This could be true to some extent but it would be false to state that this should be a permanent state that cannot be improved.

In a lot of cases, there could be underlying causes that are unknown to the sufferer and a trained hypnotherapist can often discover these during one of their sessions. Once deep-seated problems are discovered, they can start to be eradicated by using hypnotic suggestions.

Hypnosis can also help you in your goals to lose belly fat and follow any exercise to lose weight fast program that you may have begun. One of the huge challenges in any type of goal to get fitter is actually adhering to it over a long period of time. This again often comes down to our beliefs about who we are and possibly the sort of environment we were brought up in when we were a child.

How hypnosis works is based on putting you into a deep state of relaxation so that your mind is made to become open to suggestions that are absorbed into the subconscious mind. This is crucial since it is this part of the mind that has a powerful influence in our day to day living and habits.

The types of suggestions you may use are typically focused on an end goal of success and the emotions that accompany that. There are a lot of top athletes who would state that it is their mentality that gives them the winning edge and the field of sports psychology and hypnosis is well established.

Although your own goals may not be similar to that of a top sportsman, you can still learn from their mental training to attain a higher level of fitness. Hypnosis is an effective tool to help you quicken your progress in this respect and can keep your mind in a positive state so that you stay motivated.

It is possible to experience the benefits of hypnosis in your own home with the use of MP3s and CDs and the various types of technology that are accessible to us. In fact, most of the most popular hypnotists come out with products specifically for this since they realize the need to embrace technology to reach more people around the world. There is no doubt that hypnosis can be a valuable tool in helping you to get rid of belly fat and stay motivated during your exercise to lose weight fast.

Check out the Hypnosis Vault where you will find not only hypnosis for weight loss, but also for allergy relief, back pain relief, relaxation, stress relief and more.

5 Vegetables That Help Burn Belly Fat

When you are setting out on your How To Get Rid Of Belly Fat eating plan, it is useful to know which foods can actually help you to burn belly fat. You can incorporate them into your meals with confidence that eating is good for you.

Our every day lives are surrounded by chemicals that actually tell our bodies to store more fat, especially around our belly. These range from the pesticides and herbicides in the foods that we buy, to chemicals in household products like cleaners and body sprays etc., and even the pollution in the air from cars, trucks and planes. These chemicals of a type called estrogenics trick our bodies defence system into storing more fat so as to fight them off.

There is one group of vegetables that contains the vital nutrients that will neutralise these estrogenics and these are known as the cruciferous vegetables.

My top 5 cruciferous vegetables are :

  • Brussels Sprouts
  • Broccoli
  • Cabbage
  • Curly Kale
  • Cauliflower

I know, you were always told to eat your greens when you were a kid, but I bet it was not for this reason! The only way I would eat sprouts as a child was smothered in apple sauce!.

The good news is that there are varieties available fresh all year round now and some tasty different ways to cook them with a bit of imagination.

Raw is always best as in crudities with a healthy tomato salsa dip, ideal for broccoli and cauliflower.

Brussels Sprouts, I slice or shred them and add them to stir fries. Good Tip – Buy them still on the stick to keep them fresher for longer, plus you often also get the tops as well which are excellent eaters and full of goodness.

Broccoli and cauliflower in a pasta bake or pasta sauce.

Curly Kale goes well with a hearty beef stew.

Cabbage, well it is universal really, shredded raw in coleslaw, mashed with potatoes and spring onions as colcannon or bubble and squeak, use the leave to wrap parcels of rice or meat mixtures and steamed as in some tasty oriental recipes.

I hope this has given you some ideas on how you can easily and healthily use these 5 vegetables in your daily meal plans and be confident that they are helping you to get rid of belly fat.

The importance of Drinking Water To Lose Belly Fat

Keeping your body hydrated is vitally important when you want to lose belly fat, in fact it is important for everyone. Keeping your body hydrated correctly helps every part of your body in many ways.

It is key to helping you to look younger as it improves your skin by keeping it’s elasticity and it’s overall appearance to give it that healthy glow.

When you are trying to lose belly fat or any type of weight loss diet, then drinking water helps to fill you up as well as keeping your vital organs and everything else hydrated.

Lose Belly Fat

But how much water should you be drinking in an average day?

The best estimate can be made by taking your weight in pounds. Then halve that number. This will be the number of fluid ounces that you need to drink in a day. For example, if you weigh 160 pounds then divide that by 2 to get 80 fluid ounces of water a day.

So what if you hate the taste of plain water?

The best way is to flavour your water with some freshly squeezed fruit or vegetable juice added to make the taste more acceptable. For hot drinks, try herbal teas which often contain high levels of antioxidants that help to keep your body healthy and can be anti aging as well.

Got a sweet tooth?

Use a natural sweetener. My favourite is stevia which is  a natural sweetener from a plant that grows in South America. This is also used in some proprietary drinks and foods found in health stores and increasingly in mainstream stores.

Keeping your body properly hydrated helps you to function at your optimal level and especially when you are trying to lose belly fat.
