Health and Wellness - Lose The Fat

[David Ogden]

There us only one way to cure a fat stomach and that is to lose weight.Let me explain why proper nutrition is essential to getting rid of belly fat. First of all, proper nutrition speeds up your body's metabolism, or the processes that derive and use the energy from the foods that you consume for bodily functions such as movement. When you increase your metabolism, your body converts the organic compounds from the foods you eat into usable energy and actually uses that energy for various functions faster. This makes the energy derived from the foods available to your body when it needs it and reduces the amount of unused energy that is stored as fat in your body. Eating a healthy breakfast is one of the best and easiest ways to speed up your metabolism throughout the day.

When you don't eat eat breakfast, your metabolism slows down, meaning that your bodily functions are not carried out at as high a rate. Your body does not use up the energy that is converted from food as quickly, meaning the extra energy is stored as fat. The mark of a good breakfast is some protein and fiber, so whole grains and low fat meats, beans, and eggs are some examples of foods to include. Not only can eating a healthy breakfast help you lose weight, but you will feel better throughout the day.

Another way to reduce belly fat through a healthy diet is to stop eating junk foods. Starchy foods, foods high in sugar and simple carbohydrates, and processed foods are not only unhealthy, but they contribute to fat gain. Foods that contain complex carbohydrates, such as foods with whole grains, require your body to exert more effort to break them down and convert them into usable energy. This means that the energy derived from these foods will become available to you more gradually, preventing storage of excess calories that build up when you consume simple sugars. Also, by eating fiber, you help regulate your digestive system's activities and make energy available at a more regular pace. Of course, always eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and avoid foods high in fat. Decrease your meal portion sizes but eat more healthy snacks throughout the day. Plan ahead as to what you will eat, so you avoid mindless eating and snacking that will add up over time. By eating carefully planned smaller meals and healthy snacks throughout the day, you will better regulate your metabolism and prevent excess calories from being stored as fat. Also, go for lean meats and avoid blatantly high calorie foods.

As you can see, the key to reducing belly fat with a proper diet is really not that hard or painful. In fact, it can be very enjoyable, as it is not a real "diet". You can still eat many of the foods you enjoy
