"What's the best way to lose belly fat
Most of the time they don't particularly like the answer, as infomercials and the weight loss industry in general have misled them into believing that with the right device or exercise they can target their belly fat for extermination.
The reality is this - Spot reduction does not work. It's not possible to choose one area of the body to lose fat from.
But the good news is this, with some basic alterations to your lifestyle and diet it is actually quite easy to figure out how to lose belly fat as well as love handles, fat under your arms, and more.
In this guide to losing belly fat I am going to show you some common misconceptions about getting that flat stomach, and will tell you about some easy ways to change your life so that you can start melting fat like crazy.
Belly Fat Myths
1. You can crunch your way to losing belly fat. Doing ab exercises are actually an incredibly inefficient way to lose belly fat. Doing crunches will help sculpt the ab muscles you have, but if they are covered with a layer of fat still what's the point? It's like covering a Ferrari with a bunch of mattresses.
2. Diet pills will target that problem area. The weight loss industry will have you believe that you can take some magic pills a couple times a day (without having to work out or watch what you put in your mouth) and whammy - no more belly fat. It's all marketing designed for you to buy more of their crap. Nothing on earth is as powerful as the 1-2 punch of good diet and regular exercise.
3. Fat is harmless. Wrong again, bucko. There are two types of fat in our bodies - subcutaneous fat, which is the one you pinch when you are looking in the mirror, and then there is visceral fat, which surrounds your organs. Excess visceral fat is strongly connected to high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer and a whole bunch more.

How to Lose Belly Fat Tactics - 5 Tips
1. Blast Belly Fat with HIIT. A combination of aerobic and anaerobic cardio is the most effective form of exercise you can employ to rapidly burn a ton of fat. Merely doing long stretches of boring cardio isn't as effective as something called HITT (high intensity interval training). Don't be intimidated by the name, you can burn twice as much chub in half the time. Not too mention you continue to burn calories long after you walk away from the gym.
2. Sleep Lots and De-stress. The hormone cortisol is produced when we are stressed, and we are usually stressed when we are not adequately rested. Cortisol is a pain-in-the-ass hormone that retains fat - particularly in your belly area. Obviously it is going to be harder done than said to simply de-stress your life, but look at areas that you can take a moment and chill. Meditation or prayer might be something worth looking into, but if you are looking for an almost immediate way to both knock out stress and torch fat than there is no match for exercise.
3. Combat those sugar cravings by substituting sweets for fruits. The sugars in fruit are digested over a longer period of time, giving you energy over an extended period of time, particularly in comparison to the simple, refined sugars that are found in most candies and sweets which give you that quick rush (and quick crash).
4. Perform an Honest Assessment of Your Diet. Where are you doing well? Where are you slipping? Often the battle with our diets starts with the excuses we are giving ourselves - "I don't have enough time to make something healthy. An easy way around that is to cook all your major meals on a Sunday afternoon. I do this when I know I have a big week ahead; I'll cook 7 chicken breasts, a pot of brown rice, and make tuna and peanut butter sandwiches for my lunches. Total time? About 40 minutes. And I pretty much have my dinners and lunches for the week.
5. Start at a Pace You Can Maintain. Learning how to lose belly fat is a lifestyle change first and foremost. Rome wasn't built in one day, and likewise it is smart to not shock yourself with too much change by adopting a strict diet and hefty workout regimen overnight if you're previous lifestyle didn't accommodate either. Make incremental changes and before you know it those new good habits while overtake your old ones.
