The best way to lose belly fat now is to take control of your life and make that change. Below are 5 tips on the best way to lose belly fat now-

1. Eat to live. Starvation diets are like poison for your metabolism. When the body thinks it is in a food scarcity crisis, it conserves energy. Hence you will burn your calories more slowly to compensate for eating less. The net effect you will suffer from this – is nothing. I hate that – wasting time and effort for zero result. So eat up and eat smart – it is the best way to fuel your body.

2. Eat more protein. Why? Protein requires more energy to digest than other foods and thus may help you burn more calories. Protein helps to stabilize blood glucose levels and in turn reduces hunger by lowering insulin levels. The hormone insulin is known to stimulate hunger and encourage fat storage.

3. Eat smart – never eat straight from a box or container. If you are eating take away food, put the right portion on a plate. And put the package away, then sit down and enjoy your meal, taking your time over it. Eat slowly and savor every bite.

4. Slim down on comfort foods. To boost your veggie intake and cut calories without really noticing, add spinach and squash them to pastas and casseroles. The vegetables add flavor and fiber, so you end up eating fewer calories and less fat. As well – when it comes to snacks, many of us down 300 or more calories when 100 or 200 are all we need to fend off hunger. The next when you have the dreaded cravings, go for fruits like a banana, a handful of nuts or just go out running to take your mind off food.

5. Trim the fat – Ounce for ounce, fat has double the calories of protein and carbs, so cutting back just a little pays off big. Do it with simple swaps, such as subbing Canadian bacon for the regular stuff in your egg sandwich, using low fat ground turkey instead of beef, and sauteing veggies in low fat chicken stock or wine instead of butter or oil!

Losing weight is hard- that’s the fact. But if you make small, simple changes to the way you eat and workout, you will make a big difference to your health. The best way to lose belly fat is to take control now and make the change for the better.
