How To Melt Those Belly Fat Without The Crunches

Tired of carrying those extra weights around your middle? Here are some tips that can help you quickly lose weight and inches off that potbelly of yours. There are ways to have a flatter stomach without doing those dreaded crunches.

Belly Fat Busting Tip #1

Increase your protein and decrease your carbohydrates. It can deliver a one-two punch right to the belly. Carbohydrates increase your insulin level which can slow down your metabolism. The body can only metabolize just so much carbohydrates at once that tend to convert the rest to sugar and turned into body fat.

You just need to have 3-4 oz of lean protein with every meal. This kicks your metabolism up a few notches and an extra help of vegetables in order to add more fiber can keep thinks move along nicely. This is the first step to quick weight loss around your belly.

Belly Fat Busting Tip #2

Reduce your alcohol consumption. Alcohol provides no nutrients and each gram of it contains 7 calories. 100% of the calories you consume through alcohols are stored as fat meaning every beverage you consume is converted to fat usually around the belly.

Cutting back to just one or two drinks a couple of times a week will pay huge dividends to your belly fat busting account.

Belly Fat Busting Tip #3

When it comes to junk-food... pick two and you're through! It means to pick one salty junk food item and one sweet junk food item to keep in your house. Give yourself only one meal per week during which you will eat a small amount of your chosen salty snack food and one meal per week for your sweet snack food.

An example for a salty junk food is having a plain nacho chips with fat-free refried beans, 1oz of reduced-fat, grated cheddar cheese, 4oz of boneless, skinless chicken breast strips seasoned with packaged taco seasoning, some shredded lettuce, and all the Salsa for dinner once a week. And for the sweet junk food is having a large pancake and syrup during Saturday mornings. This will play a major role in busting your belly fat and trimming inches from your waistline.

Belly Fat Busting Tip #4

Another way to bust belly fat is exercise but it doesn't mean to do those dreaded crunches or go work out at the gym. You can do a structured exercise such as walking on a treadmill, going to an aerobics class for half hour to 45 minutes three times a week. Or you could give yourself a couple of projects to do around the house every week such as cleaning the garage, hand-wash the car, or do some work in the yard. Just schedule 1-2 of these kinds of physical projects every week shortly after eating a meal rich in catabolic/fat burning foods, and your results could far out-strip that working out down at the gym.
