If you want to have a well-toned abdomen, you should incorporate exercise and healthy eating into your daily routine.

But did you know that there are simple diet techniques that can help reduce your belly fat?

Get More Fiber

Fiber has appetite-suppressant properties that can help increase your satiety and keep you from binge-snacking.

Make sure you get balanced levels of both soluble and insoluble foods from non-grain-based food sources.

2. Goodbye, Alcohol!

Not only has alcohol been found to be a significant factor in added abdominal fat.

But excessive consumption has also been linked to long-term negative effects on your whole body.

3. More Probiotics = Happy (and Lean) Belly

Different types of good bacteria play a role in weight regulation and belly fat reduction.

Lactobacillus strains, including Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus amylovorus and Lactobacillus gasseri are particularly beneficial.

4. Apple Cider Vinegar is your Best Friend

Thanks to its acetic acid, ACV may have an anti-obesity effect.

It can help increase satiety, allowing you to reduce your food intake.

5. Keep Track of Your Meals

Food-tracking tools allow you to monitor your intake of nutrients and can even record your exercise and physical activity.

Cronometer is the most recommended food tracker today, as it only uses up-to-date data from the most reliable sources.

6 Healthy Tips for Losing Weight

Be healthy and fit with these helpful tips! 😍👍🙌

TRACK YOUR FOOD.

Research shows that tracking your food helps you drop the pounds by making you a more mindful eater and keeping you accountable.

EAT SLOWER.

It takes 20 minutes for your brain to tell your stomach it is full so slow down! Chew well and put down your fork or drink a glass of water between bites.

CONTROL PORTIONS.

Your hand is all you need. A serving of protein = 1 palm; serving of vegetables = 1 fist; serving of carbohydrates = 1 cupped hand; serving of fat =1 thumb. Women use one hand, men two hands.

OBSERVE 80/20 RULE.

Eat mainly whole, unprocessed or minimally processed foods 80% of the time, and indulge a little on the other 20%. It’s about moderation, not deprivation.

INCREASE FIBER.

Focusing on fiber in your diet helps you to minimize processed and fatty foods and helps fill you up. Women = 30-35 grams/day; Men = 40-45 grams/day.

DRINK MORE WATER.

Replace your sugary drinks to save calories and give you a feeling of fullness. In fact, mild dehydration can sometimes mask itself as hunger. Stay hydrated!

Are you really determined to lose weight and be healthy at the same time? Then try these tips and see the results for yourself! You can do it! Fighting! 💪👊

Melt Away Belly Fat With These 3 Simple Ways (Only for Women)

Girlies, girlash, girls! Para sa atin to! Let’s lose belly fat together! 😍👙👍

What is going on in women’s body?

The Hormone Belly

Out of balance, hormones (estrogen, progesterone and testosterone) turn against you and your image.

Causes of unbalanced hormones?

1. Unhealthy diet

2. Not engaging in the right type of exercise

3. Visceral body fat

4. Environmental factors

An Unhealthy Diet

Avoid processed foods and “fat free”, replace saturated fats with monosaturated fats.

Eating monosaturated fats also help to make you feel fuller longer and prevent cravings for food like ice cream and French fries.

Not Engaging In the Right Types of Exercise

The average person tends to have lower oxygen levels in their body, then an athletic person.

Lower oxygen levels means:

– Become easily stressed

– Water retention, especially in the ankles

– Low energy and fatigue after eating

– Weight gain

High Intensity Interval Training workouts (HIIT) are important for weight loss.

Visceral Body Fat

Your natural hormone balance is upset and this causes weight gain, especially in the belly area.

Environmental Factors

Xenoestrogens become estrogen-like hormones in your body and unlike normal estrogen, your body is unable to excrete them naturally.

When they are not moved out of your body, they are creating more visceral fat.

SO….. HOW TO GET RID OF BELLY FAT?

1) Lumps and Bumps Be Gone

2) Eat Right

3) Shake Your Booty

1. Relief from Neuropathy

Less Sleep = Weight Gain

Study (published in In the American Journal of Epidemiology) was found that:

Women that slept for 5 hours or less gained more weight than women who slept 7 hours or more, regardless of dietary or exercise changes.

2. Eat Right

• Melons

• Grapefruit

• Strawberries

• Peaches

• Celery

• Cucumber

• IcebergLettuce

• Cabbage

• Cauliflower

Also have a salad before every meal. Increase your heart healthy fats and monosaturated fats by including:

• Avocados

• FlaxSeed

• ChiaSeed

• Coconut Oil

• Walnuts

• Coconut Oil

• Olive Oil

3. Shake Your Booty

Dance while doing household chores.

Rebounding or jumping is equally important to get your daily requirements of oxygen.

Implement HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training workouts) into your exercise regimen and get maximum benefits in less time.

HIIT is effective not only for weight loss but belly fat loss and healthy hormone production.

Baylor College of Medicine (in 1996) reported that calories continue to burn long after your Intense Interval Training has ended for the day.

2. BONE BROTH

Bone broth is one of my absolute favorite healing foods. It truly has the potential to transform your health in tangible ways and help burn fat.

Cayenne pepper increases your body’s ability to burn fat for energy and increases your body’s metabolism, helping you burn fat faster and more easily.

6. COCONUT OIL

Not all fats are created equal. In fact, coconut oil is one of the healthiest, most natural fats we can consume. It can help decrease both body weight and body fat while keeping your thyroid running smoothly.

7. CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES

Cruciferous veggies, like kale, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts, are super powerful fat-burning foods.

Ghee is a surprising fat-burning food. Thanks to the medium-chain fatty acids it contains it can actually help your body burn other fats.

Grapefruits are just as delicious and, luckily for us, is a major fat-burning food as well. Enzymes found in the fruit help your body break down sugar, helping to boost your metabolism and drop those pounds.

10. GRASS-FED BEEF

Skipping the lower quality versions and splurging on quality beef means you’ll be nourishing your body, helping to encourage weight loss. You’ll be reducing bad cholesterol levels, thanks in part to the lower fat content found in grass-fed beef.

11. GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES

Leafy greens like spinach, collard greens, and Swiss chard are chock-full of nutrients and iron. These fat-burning foods help keep muscles functioning properly and burning calories after a workout.

Kefir is a fermented drink similar to yogurt loaded with medicinal benefits. It’s also packed with probiotics, the (good!) bacteria aiding your body in fighting infections.

14. ROOIBOS TEA

While rooibos tea is technically an herbal drink, it’s making waves in the weight loss community. Because it contains a flavonoids and phytochemicals that can help drop pounds and boost metabolism, it’s become a fat-burning food.

15. WHEY PROTEIN

Adding whey protein to your breakfast smoothie or taking a daily supplement can help your body not only decrease body fat and increase muscle tone, but also spike energy levels while stabilizing blood sugar.

HIERARCHY OF FAT LOSS

Fat loss ba ‘kamo, mumshie? Eto! 👇😉 #fatlosshierarchy #fatlossgoals #fitnessjourney

1. Adherence

The single most important part about any diet is adherence. Not having sustainability in your diet is the downfall of many dieters. Your life shouldn’t revolve around your diet. Your diet should fit into your life.

2. Total Caloric Balance

Being in a caloric surplus will cause you to gain weight. Being in a caloric deficit will cause you to lose weight. There are no magic diets. No magic foods. It all comes down to calories in vs. calories out.

3. Non-Exercise Activity (NEAT)

NEAT is all movement that’s non-exercise related. Tapping your foot, fidgeting, standing in line, strenuous job (e.g. construction), etc. All these small movements add up to be significant.

4. Exercise Activity

Exercise activity is the area that we try to control the most, but it only accounts for 15-30% of our daily energy expenditure. It’s also the most time consuming aspect.

5. Sleep

People who sleep 8.5 hours per night vs. 5.5 hours per night use approximately 400 calories more! That means you could eat 2,800 more calories per week when dieting vs. someone who wasn’t sleeping enough.

HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT BY THE NUMBERS WITH COMPUTATIONS

These are facts and numerical facts. Hope you get motivated and inspired to lose that weight and be healthy.

Read the transcription below after the video:

[00:00:00.250] – Speaker 3
Okay.

[00:00:00.450] – Speaker 1
So imagine one pound of your own fatty flesh.

[00:00:05.570] – Speaker 2
So if you burn that amount of flesh, that sounds kind of weird, but if you were to convert that into energy, you would get about 3500 calories, which is quite a lot of energy.

[00:00:14.900] – Speaker 1
Be talking with Dr. Carson Chow, an MIT trained physicist and mathematician, and he’s explaining to me why we should care how much energy fat has in order for you to live and function.

[00:00:26.160] – Speaker 2
You need to burn energy to keep your heart feeding all your organs going and also to move around.

[00:00:31.460] – Speaker 1
But energy doesn’t come for free. So if you’re not consuming enough calories, you’re going to burn that energy with your own fat. And so a lot of diet books like to teach people this rule. But the problem is it’s wrong. And here’s why.

[00:00:45.900] – Speaker 2
Let’s say I eat 500 calories less a day. So after one week it would be 3500 calories and I would lose a pound. Right? Because I’d have to burn.

[00:00:53.630]
Yes.

[00:00:53.820] – Speaker 1
And if I stayed on this diet for a year, I would burn through £52.

[00:00:58.200] – Speaker 2
Be great if you keep taking this thing well, after two years, I’d lose 104. And after ten years, I’d lose £500. So obviously at some point this rule is going to break down. It will actually break down before you get to a year.

[00:01:11.530] – Speaker 1
So to understand the real math behind losing weight, Doctor Chow wanted me to imagine a leaky bucket.

[00:01:19.010] – Speaker 2
You have some water in the bucket and that’s the amount of body fat or tissue in your body.

[00:01:24.120] – Speaker 1
And the leak represents the rate at which you’re burning energy.

[00:01:27.320] – Speaker 2
In reality, what you’re doing is you’re adding water at the top. That’s like eating food. And when you’re in steady state, the amount of water you add at the top exactly balances the amount of water you lose at the bottom. If you’re pouring in more water than it’s leaking, then you’re going to gain weight.

[00:01:41.280] – Speaker 1
Now, if you think about the physics of a leaky bucket, the more water that you pour into the bucket, the faster it’s going to leak.

[00:01:49.020] – Speaker 2
So your leak rate scales with how big you are. And this is a well known fact that the larger you are, the more energy you burn, you’re going to burn more energy because it takes more energy just to move a larger mass. You have more tissue. And just to keep that tissue going, it takes more energy.

[00:02:05.820] – Speaker 1
Congratulations. You have a new steady state. But let’s say you don’t want to stay this large person that you’ve become. Well, the opposite is true as well. You could pour in a lot less water than you’re leaking.

[00:02:16.520] – Speaker 2
But as you start to lose weight, you start to get smaller and you burn less energy. You start to metabolically adapt to your new diet.

[00:02:24.930] – Speaker 1
And so you’re never going to lose weight at one constant rate. It’s always going to curve from one steady state down to another.

[00:02:33.540] – Speaker 2
Which means when you go on a diet, the 3500 calorie rule is the wrong rule.

[00:02:38.280] – Speaker 1
There’s a new rule. Wait for it.

[00:02:40.560] – Speaker 2
The new rule is for every ten calories, you eat less, you will lose a pound, but it will take you about three years or more to see the full effect of your diet, which is still pretty good. All you have to do is eat 100 calories less. You lose £10. It’s like a can of Coke. So you should expect the diet to be extremely slow, right?

[00:03:01.200] – Speaker 1
But nobody wants a slow diet. We all want to lose £20 for this summer. What’s wrong with just focusing on losing weight rapidly?

[00:03:09.900] – Speaker 2
The problem is once they’re down at that new weight, they have to be vigilant for the rest of their life. Because losing weight is slow. Gaining weight is also slow, but it slowly creep up. And then two, three years later, bang, it hits them. They’re back to where they were.

[00:03:22.930] – Speaker 1
So the mathematically approved rule for weight loss for every ten calories. I don’t eat a day. I’ll eventually lose one full pound, which means changing your steady state is a marathon and not a sprint.

[00:03:38.030] – Speaker 3
