Burn Belly Fat With Proper Nutrition

nutrition to burn belly fatBelly fat! A large section of people in this world are obsessed with their body and more so belly fat. They might be pushing themselves with exercise or following a particular diet plan but are still unable to rid themselves of it. The reasons behind not being able to burn belly fat may be excessive use of sugar and fats. This in turn results in weight gain through development of fats around different parts of the body.

Among all body parts, belly is the most affected area. This is because of the fats. The belly grows quickly and leads to increased health problems. Studies have shown that the human body reacts to increased levels of sugar. Generally, 15 grams of sugar is recommended and not more than that. The question is, can a change in diet impact the belly and other body fats? Let’s explore!

6 Nutritional Tips To Help You Burn Belly Fat

  1. Reduce Sugar Intake: Reduction in our daily sugar intake should be at a recommended level of 15 grams. This is one of the most effective steps in reducing belly fat through nutrition. Excess of sugar intake is one of the biggest reasons for obesity and diabetes in the U.S.
  2. Avoid Processed Food: Consumption of processed food items is one of the sources of excessive sugar and fat intake. Try to prepare your food with your hands if you are aware of the ingredients which will be used. Carefully read ingredients used in processed food before you consume them.
  3. Reduce Bad Carbohydrates: Reduction of carbohydrates is another step to reduce belly fat without exercise. Particularly, avoid consuming fizzy drinks. This is one of the sources of high bad carbohydrates.
  4. Increase Intake of Fiber: Increased intake of fiber will constraint your need for carbohydrates. Having more of veggies and fruits will help you with good carbs and avoid the intake of bad carbs.
  5. Eat Raw Vegetables: Eating half cooked or raw vegetables helps you reduce your belly fat. Vegetables are the best solution to fiber requirement. During the day take healthy carbohydrates and at night eat a good meal consisting of proteins/fiber and less carbs.
  6. Know What to Eat: It is essential that you are aware of what you eat. For example, you can do some research about food items that have rich sources of fibre and healthy carbohydrates. You can then add them to your diet.

The first step to a flat stomach & a new you

loose-belly-fat

Long before candy crush, iPads & McDonalds came into existence there was a time when apes had just evolved into an intelligent, NEW species. Apes evolved to become the apex predator. This new species could “out run” any other animal and was known to hunt down its prey by doing exactly that – Chasing it till it gives up. That’s precisely what human bodies are meant to do. In our most natural form we are built to run gigantic distances, hunt mammoths and throw weapons to kill our prey.

A child born in 10,000BC grew up hunting and climbing trees. Humans born any time after World War II are spoilt by technology, luxuries and wrong food. Fortunately for us, a sudden wave has come our way. People all over the world are embracing ‘BEING FIT’. And “being fit” is all about drifting towards our more primal selves.

Being fit isn’t as hard as people think it is. The only thing people need help with is a road map.

On BeerBiceps, my Youtube channel, there is one idea that I promote more than any other. The one single substance keeping us away from attaining our maximum potential is sugar.

Sugar is a substance that activates the same parts of your brain that get activated by consuming addictive drugs like cocaine. But, unlike addictive drugs, you don’t buy sugar in shady lanes, you buy it in general stores. Any 10 year old can walk up to his local general store and purchase what is essentially a drug. This is why sugar is the single most dangerous food out there. It is a legal substance that can do as much harm as cigarettes or cocaine.

If you were wondering where YOUR journey in fitness should start – It should begin with Sugar. Eliminate this ENEMY and embrace a new you. Eliminating sugar from your diet can do wonders in the long term. With just this one change, I guarantee that you will drop those extra kilos and move towards that flat stomach you’ve always wanted.

When you eliminate all kinds of sugar, there are two main villains you are eliminating. Firstly liquid sugars in the form of fizzy (aerated) drinks. Secondly and more importantly – all desserts. Desserts are made of the 3 devil foods – sugar, refined carbs and unhealthy fats. And all these 3 ingredients destroy your body in different ways.

There is literally nothing worse you can put into your system than that simple dessert after dinner. In fact, for anyone who is overweight, I guarantee you it’s not the snacks between meals, the alcohol or the excess meat consumption – it’s the dessert that’s keeping them fat.

How you look depends primarily on what you eat. The kind of exercise you do will just hasten and enhance the process towards getting fit. And, for anyone with a sedentary lifestyle, remember these 5 words – ‘something is better than nothing’.

As I’ve always maintained – Fitness isn’t deadlifting a 100 kg or running marathons. Fitness is doing the smallest things to ensure that your body is better today than it was yesterday.

Do the minimal – walk around for 20 minutes every day, take the stairs instead of the lift, if you have the time then try your hand at free body movements like push-ups and sit-ups. But, above all just keep your body active.

The combination of a zero sugar diet and an active lifestyle is the key to long term health. This is the bare minimum you owe to your body. It’s about time we make our bodies do what they were created to do.

Take that first step!
