Burn Belly Fat Fast

Burn Belly Fat Fast

Belly fat is probably the most targeted area by people trying to lose weight.

And who can blame them? Having a toned and ripped midsection is not only attractive, it’s also a sign of fitness and health.

But it’s not easy to get. In fact, I’d say that toning your abs and burning belly fat are a couple of the most challenging fitness goals out there.

So what can you do to burn belly fat fast and get the midsection you’ve been dreaming of? This article takes a closer look at the basics, as well as some innovative diet options that will actually increase your metabolism!

5 Ways to Burn Belly Fat Fast

1. Get Lots of Exercise

Cardiovascular exercise really is an important step to losing belly fat. It’s critical that you increase your metabolism and get burning more calories and fat. Unfortunately, burning fat from your abs only is impossible – this kind of targeting just doesn’t work. Instead, you have to increase your metabolism overall in order to effectively burn more body fat.

One of the best ways to increase your resting metabolic rate is to start weight training. Weight (or resistance) training will increase your total lean muscle mass, which is directly related to your metabolism.  Check out my article Fat Burning Workout which will allow you to lose 5lbs of fat in 21 days.

2. Tone Your Abs

Although you can’t target your fat burning efforts, you can train and tone the muscles that make up your midsection. By engaging in a complete, high-intensity abdominal and core workout once or twice a week, you’ll get your midsection looking leaner and tighter. This will give the illusion of fat loss and get you in better shape! Try my Total Ab Workout in 30 Minutes to help you target your abs from all the different angles for best results.

3. Cut Down on Carbs

While I don’t support a “no-carb” diet, I do recommend a low-carb diet if you’re trying to burn belly fat. Cutting out carbs will help reduce your overall calorie intake, and help you get the flat stomach you’re looking for. Check out my article on Low Carb Diet for Weight Loss so you can really understand the most effective way of doing this without killing all your energy.

4. Eat Foods that Boost Your Metabolism

This is the one that’s really going to kick your fat-burning efforts into gear. There are a number of foods that boost your metabolism and actually get you burning more calories and belly fat just by eating them! Here are a few I highly recommend:

• Protein – Increasing your protein not only supports lean muscle mass, but it also takes a lot more to digest and will burn belly fat in the process. Invest in a tasty protein supplement like Gaspari Nutrition Myofusion or snack on these PROTEIN BARS.
• Green Tea – You may have heard it before, but green tea has been shown to significantly improve weight loss and fat burning efforts. If you don’t like to drink the green stuff, try taking a green tea extract like Irwin Naturals Green Tea Fat Metabolizer.
• Coconut Oil – Coconut oil contains a unique type of fat that will actually burn more belly fat! You can purchase Nutiva Organic Extra-Virgin Coconut Oil here.

5. Take a Fat-Burning Supplement

I’m not a big supporter of all weight loss supplements, but there are a few fat-burning supplements on the market that have been supported by science for their ability to burn fat without side effects.

The one that’s really gaining in popularity lately is 7-Keto, which contains a unique combination of fat-burning supplements that have been proven effective by science. Check out 7-Keto LeanGels here – they’re sure to improve your fat-burning efforts and give you the flatter belly you’re looking for!
