4. Reduce your carbohydrate intake and increase your proteins, vegetables, fruits and whole grains. Carbohydrates are energy giving foods, so it is very important for your body, but the problem arises when you consume more than your body needs. The excess is stored as fat and hence the belly fat or ‘pot belly’. Make sure to put protein to every meal. Proteins slows down the rate your stomach digests food and slows the passage of carbs. Both Lean animal and plant proteins are very useful.

5. Avoid stress. Stress is a main cause of weight accumulation around the middle area, cortisol hormone is released by the body when you are stressed. This hormone plays a major role when it comes to the accumulation of stomach fat. Reducing your levels of stress will help to reduce the amount of weight gained. Form a routine to help your relax. This could include yoga and listening to soft music. Ensure you get a good night sleep as lack of it can raise the cortisol levels.

Follow the simple rule of drinking 8 glasses of water per day, drink more if you can. Water helps in flushing out toxins from your body. Do not wait to be thirsty to drink water, make it a habit.

8. Eat small healthy meals regularly. Do not make a mistake of avoiding food so as to lose belly fat. When you stop taking food, your body is starving and you are lacking vital nutrients. Eat at least every three hours, this will help keep your blood sugar and energy levels steady. Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner and be sure to snack in between. Avoid eating carbohydrates late into the evening. Stop eating junk food, eat baked and steamed food instead of fried foods.

9. Always Plan ahead. The saying goes ‘failure to prepare is preparation to fail’. Plan what to eat, how to exercise etc. Give yourself timelines and outline the number of pounds you want to drop. Have both short term and long-term strategies.

10. Develop a healthy lifestyle. Instead of dieting, and then going back to eating unhealthy meals and ways, let the changes be permanent by adopting meals and habits that will help you reduce the fat as well as maintain the new healthy weight.
