Try these 4 Steps for Beating Belly Fat:
There are four keys to controlling belly fat: exercise, diet, sleep, and stress management.
1. Exercise: Vigorous exercise trims all your fat, including visceral fat.
Get at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise at least 5 days a week. Walking counts, as long as it's brisk enough that you work up a sweat and breathe harder, with your heart rate faster than usual.
To get the same results in half the time, step up your pace and get vigorous exercise -- like jogging or walking. You'd need to do that for 20 minutes a day, 4 days a week.
Jog, if you're already fit, or walk briskly at an incline on a treadmill if you're not ready for jogging. Vigorous workouts on stationary bikes and elliptical or rowing machines are also effective.
Moderate activity -- raising your heart rate for 30 minutes at least three times per week -- also helps. It slows down how much visceral fat you gain. But to torch visceral fat, your workouts may need to be stepped up.
2. Balanced Diet: There is no magic diet for belly fat. But when you lose weight on any diet, belly fat usually goes first. Try high fibre diet.
Getting enough fiber can help. Eat 10 grams of soluble fiber per day -- without any other diet changes --it will build up less visceral fat over time than others. That’s as simple as eating two small apples, a cup of green peas, or a half-cup of beans.
“Even if you kept everything else the same but switched to a higher-fiber bread, you might be able to better maintain your weight over time,”
3. Sleep: Getting the right amount of shut-eye helps. Get 6 to 7 hours of sleep per night.
4. Stress: Everyone has stress. How you handle it matters. The best things you can do include relaxing with friends and family, meditating, exercising to blow off steam, and getting counseling. That leaves you healthier and better prepared to make good choices for yourself.
