Stomach Fat - How To Burn It Off Quickly

By Mark Walters

Ask yourself - why do you have stomach fat? This question isn't meant as a criticism, but is rather meant to get you to think about the lifestyle choices that you have made in the past.

Excess stomach fat is not an uncommon problem. It can be got rid off though, by focusing on two important issues: 1) Exercise 2) Eating habits.

Your stubborn belly fat can result from a lack of exercise. Are you strictly keeping to the recommended 30 minutes of exercise, 5 days a week?

Should you not be doing so, then this is a good place to start your attempts to burn off your excess stomach fat. Without regular exercise, your progress will only be minimal at best.

Your eating habits are another obvious area to analyze. Do you consume more calories than your body needs to function? One way to determine this is to consult a chart on your basal metabolic rate. If you find that you're eating more calories than your body needs to function, add that to the list of considerations.

You may be suffering from a very low metabolic rate due to lack of proper nutrition. This can lead to some people being overweight even though they only eat one or meals per day. The science behind this is that the human body adapts to poor nutrition and irregular eating schedules by storing up food as fat, because it doesn't know when it will be receiving food again. It's part of the natural human survival instinct.

So, if you are one of those who falls within the profile of poor eating habits and lack of exercise, then, unfortunately, you have only yourself to blame for your current body shape. The goods news though is that it is 100% possible to reverse the damage that you have done up until now.

To burn stomach fat from your body, you simply have to do the opposite to what you have been doing. A combination of improving your metabolism, by eating small frequent meals, and daily aerobic and strength training workouts, will see you getting visible results quickly. If you strictly stick to your new program, within a week you should see a reduction in your belly fat.

It is all easier said than done, but rest assured that once you settle into a comfortable routine that suits you, then you'll naturally build momentum and motivation when you start to see your body shape up the way you wanted it to. - 29161
