some simple diet tips that will help you lose excess belly fat.


In the last issue, we talked about losing lower belly fat for a sexy flat stomach.
In this issue, we are going to go over some simple diet tips that will help you lose excess belly fat.

Remember that the key to having a flat stomach is to lose the amount of fat you have overall. The stomach fat is just the last to go, so it’s the toughest.  Here are a few tips that can help you lose that last bit of stubborn belly fat.

First, you need to eat more fiber.  The major reason women are getting fatter these days is that they do not have enough fiber in their diets.  As we eat more processed foods and less whole grains and produce, the natural fibers in our diet are becoming scarcer.  An average person should try to get at least 25 grams of fiber per day. People who are serious about a diet to lose belly fat should get 35 grams of fiber.

Secondly, realize that carbs aren’t the devil that some diets make them out to be, but too many calories from carbohydrates can increase your middle mass. Carbohydrates should make up no more than 60 percent of your calories when you are on a diet to lose belly fat. 

Make sure that they are at least 45 percent of your diet.  As you can see, balance is the key here.  Most of your carbs should come from fruits and vegetables and you should avoid high carb, empty calorie foods like cupcakes.

Third, drink your water.  Many people mistakenly believe that drinking a lot of water will give them puffy abs.  But, water actually flushes sodium out of your system which reduces puffiness. 

- Here are a couple of ways to tell if you’re drinking have enough water. 

Are you thirsty?  Then you are already dehydrated.  Don’t ever lack water so long that you feel it.  Another way is to monitor the color of your urine.  If you’re drinking enough water, your urine will be close to colorless.

Fourth, limit your sodium intake as it leads to puffiness. A person only needs 500 mg. of sodium a day for the body’s natural functions to work. However, the average American gets up to 6,000 grams!  A Chinese take-out entry can have 3000 grams by itself. You can limit your sodium by choosing fresh, natural foods.
Fifth, have a small dinner and shut the kitchen down afterwards. Having your calories during the day when you are actually burning them is key to losing weight. Evening eating is often mindless eating.  You sit down in front of the television with a brand new bag of chips and before you know it, half the bag is gone.  Another benefit of eating light at night is that you’ll wake up hungry for a good breakfast. People who eat good breakfasts are more likely to lose weight.

If you are wondering how to get a flat stomach, monitor what you are eating.  When you eat healthy, natural foods, you are going to develop the body and the flat belly you want.

Make sure you look for your next issue soon. We will be talking about the connection between belly fat and diabetes.
