Best Ways to Lose Stubborn Abdominal Fat

One of the problem areas of the body when trying to lose weight is the belly. Everyone wants a flat stomach, which is understandable because excess belly fat besides being unflattering is also a sign of health problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, clogged arteries and other complications.

Truth is, belly fat is the first to come off when you try to lose weight so it is not that stubborn. There is no special diet, exercise, or tips to lose belly fat. Crunches and other abdominal exercise can strengthen your muscle but it does not mean these are more effective than running or cardio exercises when it comes to losing those belly fats.

The best way to lose belly fat is to eat a balanced diet. A balanced diet is what you see in the food pyramid guidelines - try to follow it.  Always include fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of fluid to avoid constipation, and flush out toxins in your body.  The key is to take in fewer calories than what you normally burn. You can ask the help of a nutritionist to help you with a diet plan that is best for you. If you want, you can keep a food journal so that you can track the food you eat and your calorie intake.

A balanced diet should always be paired with exercise. The best is still cardiovascular exercises. Aerobic exercise like cycling, jogging or walking burn the most amount of fats. To maximize weight loss, 30 to 60 minutes of aerobics exercise is recommended to see good results.  Along with aero is weight training or anaerobic exercise; this will work out the muscles and will also give you faster metabolism. Make sure to work out all muscle groups and not just concentrate on your stomach muscle to avoid injury.

It is not easy to lose abdominal fat. It takes time and a lot of commitment. You did not gain all those fats in a day so do not expect to lose them overnight. A proper combination of diet, exercise and patience will surely give you the result you want.
