6 Tips to Lose Your Stomach Fat

Earlier I have said that it is not only the ab exercises that makes a flat stomach and 6 pack abs but most importantly you have to also reduce your stomach fat. So here I will give some cool tips that helps you to lose your tummy fat.

1. Open you notepad or spreadsheet and write down all your current body measurements and weight. It includes your chest, biceps, abs, thighs, calves etc. and your current body weight. I highly recommend to get a body fat calculator which gives accurately how much body fat you have.

2. Now calculate your calorie requirements. You can use Harris-Benedict equation or Katch - McArdle formula to calculate this. After calculating your daily calorie requirements, that is how much calories you need to take each day to maintain your current body weight, cut 500 calories from it to lose fat.

3. So you know how much calories you need to take each day to lose fat. Now it's time to split it into actual meals. Get a food table (you can search on internet) and figure out how many calories the food you eat contains. And split it into six meals. So you need to take six meals a day spaced 2-3 hours. It's always better to eat small frequent meals throughout the day than three big meals as it increases your metabolism and helps you lose fat. Also avoid high GI carbs, sugars and junk foods.

4. Get ready for a cardio. You need not buy any fancy equipments or spend long hours to do cardio. A brisk walk or treadmill will do the work. Also make your cardio short and intense. Short high intensity cardio have proved to be more effective than the long low intensity cardio. A 25-30 minutes cardio for 3-5 times a week is enough to get great results.

5. This tip I am giving you here is the most important and the most neglected one. Do weight training. It is most neglected part when one trying to lose fat. If you include a weight training session in your program you can skyrocket you fat loss. You do not need to workout for 6 days a week for 3 hours. Just do weight training for 45 minutes 3 times a week and you can see a major change in your body. You will also develop ab muscles as a result.

6. After 4 weeks open that notepad or spreadsheet and enter your current body measurements and weight. Sometimes you may see an increase in your weight and measurements. That's strange?. No, the reason is because fat loss and weight loss are entirely different. People every time believes that fat loss and weight loss are the same. If you lose your lean body mass and water, you had a weight loss. But for a fat loss to occur you need to lose your FAT. That's exactly what happend here. You increased you lean body mass, and that may be the result in weight gain, but remember I have told you to measure your body fat and you can see a decrease there. That's all we wanted and your journey was successful. Stick with it as long as you want to see more results!
