The way to start to burn belly fat off is incorporating the following into your life: Burn more calories than you are eating.

One of the best ways to burn belly fat off is a reduced calorie diet.Reduced calorie diets are extremely effective in losing weight and burning fat.The benefit of reduced calorie diet is that you do not have to change the foods that you eat, just eat a little less. 

Regular exercise complements a reduced calorie  diet because you burn calories with exercise. So, the more calories you burn, the more fat you may burn.

Try to cut processed foods for foods in a natural state.

If you enjoy fast food during the work day, try bringing in your lunch.  

For example, replace the burger and fries with meat and a baked
potato. If you use the proper proportions, you are bound to save calories and you will be feeding your body better.

7 Calorie Burning Tips

7 Calorie Burning Tips

Calorie Burning Tips

These are just a few habits you can embrace to start revving your metabolism right away. You may have heard stories about people who have lost dozens of pounds simply switching to diet soda or walking a few minutes each day. These are all small habits that contribute to a big difference and increase your metabolism over
time.  You will make weight loss quicker and easier by increasing your metabolic rate and burning more calories.

1) Move More:

Sedentary people burn about one-third less calories per day.  By simply taking every opportunity to move can make quite a dramatic
difference to the amount of calories you burn in one day. Small movements will add up over time to lots of calories.  The trick is to keep moving throughout your day. Write the word ‘move’ on post-it notes and put them in places you’ll notice them when you’re sitting still.

2) Eat Little and Often:

Evidence suggests that eating small meals every 2-4 hours will keep your metabolism burning faster than larger, less frequent meals. When you eat small amounts often your body is
constantly working to digest and absorb food which requires energy.

3) Eat Fat - Believe it or not, if you want feel
good and keep the fat off:

you need to first put it in.  Fat not only tastes good, our bodies need it to work efficiently.  Try incorporating fats like
Flaxseed oil, hempseed oil, olive oil, avocados, salmon, albacore tuna, nuts and seeds into your diet daily.

4) Drink Cold Water:

Evidence shows that your body might expend more calories trying to raise cold water to the temperature of your body then hot beverages. And overall being well hydrated will help your body’s metabolic processes burn quicker.

5) Exercise With Weights:

 - Training with weights boosts your metabolism in a number of ways. By lifting weights you will build muscle tissue. And muscle tissue is metabolically active, so it requires calories even when at rest and so it helps to increase fat-burning enzymes in your body.

6) Spice up:

Eating hot spices might speed up your metabolism.  Just half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day can help boost metabolism and keep blood sugar levels in check. Can’t stand the thought of cinnamon in your morning cup of coffee? Spice up with cayenne, crushed red pepper or wasabi.

7) Eat More Protein:

Protein requires a more complex chemical breakdown by your body in order to be digested and used as fuel. For example, 100 calories of protein may take up to 30 calories to process. 
Protein also takes longer to digest and helps to stabilize blood sugar for longer periods of time and this can help you to not overeat later in the day.  Eat a portion of protein at every meal
and as part of your snacks and you will increase the total number of calories you burn each day.

Dieting Mistakes to Avoid

 Dieting Mistakes to Avoid

 Dieting Mistakes to Avoid

why is it that so many people lose weight only to gain it all back again?

And why is it that so many people get frustrated and quit trying before they even lose any weight?

Of course dieting to lose weight takes some planning and some will power to stay with it, but a big part of the reason why so many people seem to be on a perpetual diet, but never seem to lose weight, often has less to do with their will to want to do it, and more to do with falling victim to some common mistakes dieters regularly make.

One big mistake that dieters make is assuming that certain foods can be eaten in high quantities such as fat-free foods. It needs to be understood that just because a food is fat-free doesn’t mean it is calorie free. When you consume more calories than you use, you will gain, not lose, weight.

Many people who tried one of the many low-carb diets out there thought that they could eat as much as they wanted as long as the food they ate had low or no carbs. This way of thinking is wrong. It is still a matter of controlling the size of your portions that makes the difference. Keeping track of your overall calorie intake each day is imperative to a proper weight loss plan.

Another mistake that is made by dieters is expecting too much too soon. When you come to the conclusion that you want to lose 30 pounds, this is a realistic goal. When you decide that you want to lose those 30 pounds in one month, this is not a realistic goal. Maybe your 25th high school reunion is coming up and you want to be able to fit into that dress or suit you wore 25 years ago.
 
This is only possible if you take the time to allow yourself to properly attain that goal.

Weight loss is best done at 1-2 pounds a week, not at 1-2 pounds a day, so set a small goal of say losing 5-7 pounds in a month, then set another similar goal and so on, until you reach your ultimate goal.

Not eating enough is yet another common mistake dieters make. The fact is, if you eat too little calories, your metabolism will slow down and you will go into what is known as “starvation mode”. This promotes major fat conservation for survival purposes and any weight loss will therefore come from the breakdown of muscle tissue, not fat!

For the average adult female, it is not recommended to consume below 1000 calories and the average adult male should not consume below 1200 calories unless under the direction of their doctor.

One of the biggest mistakes dieters make by far is not planning for how to keep their weight down once they lose it.

Of course getting some exercise is a key part in successful weight loss as well, but putting together a well thought out eating plan designed to stay with you for the rest of your life is the real key to taking that extra weight off and keeping it off for good. Be careful not to get caught making the mistakes mentioned here and you will have a much better chance at weight
loss success.
