Lat time we talked about exercise and how important a focussed and regular exercise routine is - goes without saying, right? Now in addition to exercise, diet plays a critical role in losing weight and reducing fat around the belly.
Reducing your intake of carbohydrates, calories and fatty foods will help you lose weight while exercising. There is no point burning calories if you are ingesting more than you are burning in your workout. You need to adjust your diet so that you are burning more calories than you consume. It doesn't take a gym membership or expensive weight loss program to get yourself back into shape. It is common sense that putting out more energy than you consume will lead to weight loss and reduce the storage of unnecessary fat in your body.
The belly may be the most noticeably fatty region of the body, but losing general body fat is essential to losing belly fat fast. Living a healthier and more active lifestyle is essential to keeping the fat from building up around your stomach or elsewhere.

How To Lose Belly Fat Fast - Part 1
How To Lose Belly Fat Rapidly
So you're in a rush to lose that excess bulge around your belly. Perhaps you gained wait unexpectedly and one day you look down and wonder what happened. Once you realize how much you've let yourself go, you then begin to realize how much work it will take to get yourself back into shape. Fortunately, it doesn't have to be so difficult. There are a lot of diets and exercise plans that work to lose that belly fat fast.
If you really wish to lose belly fat fast, it is best to think of your entire body. Targeting all of your exercise on your stomach is good, but not necessarily the most effective in losing belly fat. Crunches and sit-ups can contribute in reducing your belly size, however. Working out your abdominal muscles can give more definition in your stomach, and while it may not be ideal for fat burning, abdominal exercises can tighten the skin and the fat around the belly. Upper body muscle-building can help shape your body and give the appearance of having less stomach fat.
If you are going to lose the fat around your stomach or any part of your body you need regular exercise and diet. A lot of people lose the fat they need and then forget to keep the ritual of working out in their lives. Working out regularly is a key way to lose the weight and keep it off for good, while living a consistently healthy lifestyle. The fact that the most obvious and visible area of excess fat in your body is your belly doesn't change the fact that you need to work out your entire body to keep the weight off. When you do not exercise enough and ingest more calories than your body regularly needs, you gain fat which is usually most noticeable in the belly.
This is why diet is as important as exercise when it comes to weight loss.
Tomorrow in part 2 we will consider the role of diet and how it relates to exercise.

Don't Give Up On Your Weight Loss Program
Don't Give Up On Your Weight Loss Program
Have you ever started a weight loss program, made great results at the beginning and then everything fell apart? You started a resistance training routine, you were eating right, doing your cardio and lost on average a pound or two a week. You finally found the answer to succeeding at weight loss, or so you thought. Now a couple of months later, the scale refuses to budge. You were doing everything right. So what happened?
Well, this is another case of something very simple that can be corrected easily. Its something you may have never put into action though if you didn’t take the time to seek out answers from someone who knew a little bit more about weight loss and exercise then you do. Here is a big pat on the back for having a problem and doing some research to look for a solution.
Let’s take this step by step so you understand exactly what might have happened. First, look back and see when and where you WERE getting results. It was at the beginning. This is because at that time, the weights and exercise were a challenge for you so your body had to change and adapt.
These factors are what caused your body to lose weight. This is called S.A.I.D. to personal trainers. S.A.I.D. is and acronym for Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands. This basically means that when your body runs into a physical stress that it is not used to, it will change so that what you are doing will not be so hard to handle the next time you run into it.
Its normal for results to slow down or stop if you are not on a program that changes things up either in the actual routine or the stresses that it causes. Changes in your weight loss program bring back the intensity. Intensity is what causes further changes to your body.
Intensity in your weight loss program can be caused by using more weight, using the same weight but completing the routine faster, or using the same weight but making each repetition take longer to complete. These are just some examples.
Often when I train females, they believe that using heavier weights will make them get too muscular or that they will get bigger. This belief keeps them from taking the actual course of action that would bring them quickly to their goals. In actual fact, because of the hormonal differences between men and women, muscle gains do not come extremely fast for women. What happens is that they increase their metabolism, lose a lot of fat and tighten up the saggy parts, leaving them with a very toned body. If at any time the amount of body fat lost is too much, it is very easy to cut back on the weight or drop some fat burning cardio in order to soften up a little if that is what you are after.
This is a simple truth that has been show to work over and over again in countless numbers of my female clients where weight loss was the goal.
The intensity factor also applies to your cardio. You must increase how hard you work on that every couple of weeks also. Again, the intensity can be from doing the same distance in less time, doing more incline on the treadmill or simply changing the machine or activity that you like to do. Remember that in order to lose a pound of fat a week, you should shoot for burning off 3500 calories over a 7-day period. 3500 calories is how many calories are in a pound of fat. When you crunch the numbers most people are shocked to realize that they don't burn around 500 calories a day in exercise. This little fact is one of the many that when changed can quickly get you back on the path to becoming one of those weight loss success stories you always read about.
I hope this helps you out and if you would like to use the program that I designed that takes care of all these factors for you, please visit

Exercises To Lose Belly Fat
"Fat Loss Tips"
Exercises To Lose Belly Fat by Working Out
There are many exercises out there that target the abdominal region but don't really do much to lose belly fat. Thus, often times people make the mistake of spending too much time on abdominal exercises when trying to lose belly fat. Whether trying to lose stomach fat quickly or trying to tone your belly over a longer period of time, there is no better way than a good mix of both cardio and muscle-toning exercises.
This is not to say that ab-focused exercises like crunches and sit-ups aren't a good idea. By building abdominal muscles you can give your body the appearance of having a more toned stomach. Building your ab muscles can also stretch the skin around your mid-section and tighten the existing fat around the muscle. While abdominal workouts may not necessarily burn fat and calories the most effectively, they do target your problem area specifically.
If you really wish to lose belly fat, it is best to think of your entire body. If you are going to shed the fat from your stomach or any part of your body, you need regular exercise and diet. Working out regularly is a key way to lose the weight and keep it off for good, while living a consistently healthy lifestyle. The fact that the most obvious and visible area of excess fat in your body is your belly does not alter the fact that you need to work out your entire body to keep the weight off. When you do not exercise enough and ingest more calories than your body regularly needs, you gain fat which is usually most noticeable in the belly.
Cardiovascular exercises such as jogging, skipping or aerobics are a great way to lose the belly fat. Get your heart pumping and burn calories. While crunching may target your abs, cardio workouts that involve jumping or running will tone your entire body as well as your belly. Swimming can be an amazing workout for your entire body, as you tone muscle and build your cardio at the same time.
In addition to exercise, diet plays a critical role in losing weight and reducing fat around the belly. Reducing your intake of carbohydrates, calories and fatty foods will help you lose weight while exercising. There is no point burning calories if you are ingesting more than you are burning in your workout. You need to adjust your diet so that you are burning more calories than you consume. It doesn't take a gym membership or expensive weight loss program to get yourself back into shape. It is common sense that putting out more energy than you consume will lead to weight loss and reduce the storage of unnecessary fat in your body.
The most important thing to remember while exercising to lose belly fat is to not neglect the rest of your body while exercising, though abdominal workouts do help. A healthy mix of dieting and exercise is the quickest way to lose weight.

How To Lose Fat - Part 2
How to Lose Fat - Part 2
How to Lose Fat Through Diet
Yesterday we looked at exercise as a way to lose weight, today, in part 2, we will consider how our diet affects our fat loss efforts.
When considering the diet one should partake in while trying to lose their body fat, you don't necessarily have to cut out the foods you love. You should, however, become more aware of the how much you eat and the contents of all the food you consume.
Eating more fat and calories than you burn off through exercising will get you nowhere fast. Read the contents on food packages to decide which is healthiest. Portioning foods that may not be ideally healthy is another key. We may not always be able to choose the healthiest places to eat in our lifestyles, but just because you ordered the combo meal doesn't mean you have to eat the whole thing. Over-stuffing our faces is an easy way to gain weight and body fat through eating food our bodies don't even need. All the excess calories you ingest without working off will be stored in your body in the form of fat.
'Whole-body' weight-training is another way to tone your entire body and manage the storage of calories. As muscles need calories to build, the calories in your body will be distributed accordingly and will be less likely to be converted to fat. Exercise is essential to fat loss in the forms of both cardiovascular exercise and weight-training.
With these tips on how to lose body fat, you will be looking lean and fit while living a more healthy and active lifestyle.

Heart-pumping workouts like jogging, skipping, aerobics and swimming are great cardiovascular exercises that burn calories efficiently.
