7. Move your muscles
As you add the above foods to your diet, do not forget to exercise. Work out regularly and eat the above foods daily or at least 4-5 times a week. You will see a difference in your belly fat within 5-6 weeks.
Keep a measuring tape handy to measure the circumference of your waist. Don’t be disappointed, if you find your inches not decreasing. In this case, do the following:
- Intensify your workout. Consult your fitness trainer for this.
- Include brisk walking in your daily regime. Walk briskly for 45-60 minutes daily.
- Add more protein in your diet. Please consult your dietician for the recommended intake as per your body status.
- Continue eating salads of tomatoes, cucumbers, and watermelon.
- Stop eating spicy and oily foods, plus processed foods.
- Reduce the amount of cooking oil you use to cook food.
- Reduce your portions of food. Tough to do this? Take a smaller plate and fill it. Trick your brain!
- Do not quit. Try harder.
Belly fat is one of the most stubborn fats of the body. It accumulates gradually and it goes gradually. People usually ignore it until your belly becomes so wide that other people point it out or your blood pressure increases and the doctor advises you to reduce your belly fat. It is then that you wake up and smell the coffee.
However, it is never too late to act wisely about your health. You need to be patient while endeavoring to lose belly fat. Each body is unique. So, if your friend could lose her fat within 5 weeks, you may take longer.
Even a small difference in your measuring tape figure is an achievement. This is because, as mentioned earlier, this fat is stubborn. If you could lose even an inch, you are on the right track. Do not lose hope and continue exercising and eating the right foods. You could reward yourselves with your favorite food that you may have banned. This keeps you motivated to continue with the healthy routine and reduce cravings.
Best wishes.
