While you may have gained some belly fat over the years, it’s never too late to get rid of it. If you have stub born areas of fat that just would not go away then try these tips and tricks to banish your belly once and for all in only two weeks!
1) Eat More Water
Water helps force toxins out of your body, helps manage your body temperature, and keeps your shower. Some experts suggest drinking eight glasses of water a day for weight loss. Try replacing sodas with water to help speed up weight loss and reduce crushing. Water also helps to overflow so you eat less at meals, which can also be useful for weight loss.
2) Sleep 7–8 hours a day
Getting enough sleep is critical for more than just relaxation. According to research conducted at Harvard Medical School, human growth hormone (HGH) is released in the deep stages of sleep, which helps you get a leaner physique. HGH aids in fat burning while you sleep, as well as muscle building during exercise—so getting sufficient shut-eye is a must if you want your abs to show through your T-shirt. Aim for at least 7–8 hours every night.
3) Avoid Stress
That’s because when you’re stressed, your body empties adrenaline and gastrin, which can increase levels of fat-storing insulin and make it tough for you to burn those love handles. So take time each day to do things that relax you, for example, practice slow breathing. Not only it'll lower your stress level and help you melt fat faster, but it will also improve your health.
4) Exercise 40 minutes, 3 times a week
Muscle is metabolically active tissue—the more you have, and especially if it’s in your belly, the more calories you burn. But we all forget to exercise, even though it’s just 30 minutes three times a week. Make sure you set aside time on your calendar so that finding an excuse isn’t possible.
5) Workout with free weights
Free weights, allow you to use your body weight as resistance. If you are looking for a quick and effective way to lose belly fat, make sure that you incorporate workouts with free weights into your exercise routine. For example, you can use free weights by doing bicep curls or by doing squats and lunges. Don’t have free weights? No problem! Use water bottles or cans instead.
6) Get enough sleep, avoid late-night eating
Enough sleep every night is an important part of losing belly fat. Sleep improves your metabolic health and helps regulate appetite hormones. Too little sleep can result in overeating as well, especially when you’re stressed or busy. Make sure you get at least seven hours of sleep each night so that your body has a chance to rest and burn energy for energy needs, like sleeping and digesting food. A healthy diet will help you meet other nutrient needs as well, including fiber and protein to keep you feeling full longer.
7) Use an app like MyFitnessPal
This app logs your calories and your diet, letting you know how many carbs, fats, and proteins you’re consuming in a day. This app can help keep track of any cravings for junk food or soda that could sabotage weight loss.
