Stomach Weight Loss: Small Things Can Make a Big Difference!

Men and women alike all want to have a flat tummy. But of course, we don’t all lead a healthy lifestyle and most of the time this unhealthy way of living can result in an unsightly bulge or two. Weight loss tummy is a common problem and could be due to an unhealthy diet or a lack of exercise. Basically, the body stores all these excess fat as a survival instinct. Think of hibernating bears, but of course, we are not bears and we do not really need an extra satchel of fat somewhere in our body and thus we need to burn it. How does one do it? First, you must understand that you need to burn more fat than what you consume so that the body would convert all the stored fat (your bulges) into energy to make up for the shortcoming.

To think that eating less food would make your stomach smaller is not right. What you need to do is eat a well balanced meal, substitute a small amount of fat into protein, and in small portions several times throughout the day. In fact, the recommended number is 6 times everyday. It might sound a lot but it really isn’t just as long as you eat in very small portions. Eating constantly would “train” your metabolism to burn faster and more food. Of course, the food itself should be healthy too. Eat a balanced and nutritious meal (no junk food please!) and try to keep your calorie intake at 1500 each day.
