NEW DISCOVERY!! Why Belly Fat Is Bad For You And How To Get Rid Of It

Belly fat is not just something that is a little but ugly to look at or a little bit uncomfortable to carry. Belly fat can be dangerous for both men and women. Most people today, because of our lifestyle, carry some extra belly fat.
Belly fat is not just about a little bit of an extra layer of padding just below the skin of the stomach. Belly fat is subcutaneous fat (just below the skin) but also includes visceral fat – the fat which lies deep inside your stomach, surrounding your internal organs.

What contributes to belly fat?

Nobody likes to hear this but belly fat comes from overeating. Your weight is determined by how well balanced the calories you eat and the energy you burn are. If you are leading a lifestyle where you are eating too much and exercising too light, you are going to pack on the pounds. This is where belly fat comes in.

Ageing contributes to belly fat too. As you get older, you lose muscle, especially if you do not exercise a lot. Loss of muscle mass slows down the rate at which the body uses calories, meaning you put on weight more easily, as you age, you also need fewer calories to keep you going, and you should exercise more.
Genetics can also play a role. If your parents are overweight, you may be overweight too. And everyone stores fat differently to others. If you are overweight genetically though you can still lose weight by watching your calories and eating well.






How is belly fat measured?

Belly fat is measured by taking the measurement of the circumference around your waist. You can do this at home with a simple tape measure.

If a man is over 40 inches (102 cm) and a woman is over 35 inches (88 cm), it is known as abdominal obesity.

How to get rid of your belly fat

Try these six proven ways of targeting your stomach fat specifically. Healthy eating would be a great start if you only wanted one way of course. But here, try these.
Cut out all sugar and do not have any sweetened drinks. Sugar is very harmful to metabolic health, and when you eat a lot of unrefined sugar, the liver gets overloaded with fructose, leading to accumulation of fat. It increases belly and liver fat which also lead to insulin resistance. Liquid sugar is even worse. Liquid calories do not get registered by the brain in the same way that solid calories do. When you drink sweetened drinks, you end up eating, even more, calories and getting even fatter.

1.Eat more protein It helps you lose weight, and it also helps you maintain the weight loss. Get used to eating protein, and soon you will not be missing sugar at all. There is evidence that protein is particularly useful against belly fat. Eat whole foods, eggs, lean meat and chicken, fish, beans, legumes and consider using coconut oil to cook your food in.

2.Cut carbs This is a given. Carbs are not good for you in general and find themselves making their way to your belly. Low carb diets also lead to a quick loss of weight water which is not long term but does enable you to lose weight quickly in a psychological manner. Cut carbs, and you will see how light you fe

3.Eat foods rich in fibre Dark leafy greens are good, beans, muesli, bananas. Eating fibre has been proven to reduce fat by the belly, not just by the skin but underneath. Eating fibre is good for bowel movements too, and regular and healthy bowel movements are necessary for a healthy weight
4.Exercise This is a no brainer; exercise is good for everything. Choose the right exercise for you, be it running, walking, gym, pilates or yoga. Do plenty of stomach exercises and be very aware of always holding your core in. Suck it in from your belly to your back and try and do this all the time, sitting, standing, driving, walking, and working.

Keep an eye on the foods you eat. Have a food diary and write down what you snack on. You may just find that you are snacking unhealthily and only need to change those cupcakes to an apple. Include plenty of healthy food, fibre and if you feel you need a supplement of sorts, for vitamins and nutrients, check with your local health store or pharmacy.
If you are concerned about your weight, chat to a dietician or your general practitioner. Don’t feel shy. Tackle the problem head on. People who do not carry extra weight are happier and healthier.
