To understand how to lose that fat on the belly we need to examine some common misconceptions and myths first. We know that excessive belly fat is bad for our health since it increases the risks of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and even cancer. This is the reason that it is advised  to lose such belly fat either by changing our eating habits or with the help of the right exercises.

When it comes to eating and our diet, some foods are actually known to have benefits for burning fat. So we can start right there simply by looking what we eat every day.

Some good foods which will help to lose the weight:

Amongst those foods are hot chilli peppers and fish.

Chilli peppers contain capsaicin which is known to help the liver with burning fat faster.

Fish contain lots of good mega-3 fatty acids which play a role in our metabolism since it effects the rate how and how fast we burn the fat. Trout and Salmon stand out as being especially good for this purpose.

So, you might want to onsider changing the food that you eat as a first step in burning the fat.

Drinking Alcohol and Belly Fat

While reducing your alcohol intake will help, it is not enough. You still need a good diet and the right exercise regimen to get rid of the belly fat. Simply cutting down on drinking will likely not do too much if you otherwise keep eating unhealthy foods and don’t exercise.

The problem with exercises like crunches or sit ups is that these exercises are meant  for building strength and abdominal muscle. Those are not really fat burning exercises. Therefore, at first we need to do calories burning exercises to burn off those layers of fat covering that muscle up. This should be our priority.

Just a little more walking within your daily routine or taking up an active hobby or sporting activity can already benefit us a lot, given that we don’t overdo it and instead keep consistent and do it every day.

The key here is in the routine. 20 minutes per day walking might ultimately be better than attempting some exercise regimen which requires us to pump irons, especially if we are not used to such routines.

If we want to lose that belly fat we need to combine all those tips:

Start with a more healthy diet and eat those good foods which benefit in burning the fat. Do the right exercises and to them frequently and consistently. Results might not come overnight, but if we do all this we already have a good start for losing that fat on the belly.
