Best 3 ways to Lose Abdominal Fat

Although performing hundreds of ab crunches each day is not a complete waste of time, numerous ab crunches are not completely necessary. There are easier ways to attain the flat tummy you desire and here, I will outline three such methods that will help you to get rid of excess tummy flab and lose weight fast.

1. Avoiding Junk foods:

The definition of 'junk food' is any food that contains more calories than it the body burns in order to digest it. These calories are called empty calories, and if action isn't taken to burn them off they will turn to fat. The best way to avoid junk foods is to always ensure that you are full!

By planning meals properly you will ensure you feel full all the time and the temptation to snack on junk foods will not be there.

Healthy meals will provide your body with much needed nutrients and energy and will also help to detoxify your body by getting rid of fatty wastes left behind by junk foods, your body's metabolism will increase by removing these and as a result you will burn more of your fat.

2. Exercise; the other half of the battle:

Although weight loss can be achieved with a change to a healthier diet the process is slow and can be greatly enhanced and quickened with a regular exercise routine. There are many different types of exercise that have different effects, Cardio exercise is one that people generally can relate to and is very successful at reducing weight.

If you only manage to burn 500 calories a day over the course of a week that would equate to one pound of weight loss (1 pound equals 3500 calories).

Exercises that are classed as cardio vascular exercises are: Walking, running, cycling, swimming and dancing to name a few. All of these will help you lose weight significantly quicker than with just diet change alone.

3. Tummy exercises:

Your abdomen is made up of three different types of muscles: upper, lower and side abs. Variants of stomach crunches that will work all these different groups and leg lifts will help to build these muscles and flatten your stomach, but you will not need to perform hundreds of these, as originally highlighted, as the meal planning and the cardio exercise will help greatly with the removal of tummy fat.
