When you finally decide to get rid of that extra fat around your middle, it can be tempting to try to lose it all at once. While it's not physically possible to lose weight overnight, you can still lose belly fat in a matter of a few weeks by following a specific weight loss plan that gives a greater emphasis to strengthening exercises for your stomach.
Step 1
Ask you doctor how much weight you need to lose. He can give you a better idea of your current health and whether you're healthy enough to commit to a new diet and exercise program.
Step 2
Eat a diet high in fiber. Foods like green leafy vegetables, bran muffins and whole grain breads are loaded with fiber, which helps regulate your digestive system and allows your body to expel waste and fat at a more efficient rate.
Step 3
Workout every morning by doing a cardiovascular exercise like running or riding a bike. Any exercise that gets your heart rate up will work, however. Maintain a consistently elevated heart rate for about 30 minutes. This will burn calories and fat all over your body including on your belly so long as you are eating a diet low in calories.
Step 4
Use targeted exercises to define and strengthen your abdomen. While there's no such thing as spot reduction or losing weight on just one area of your body, you can tighten up your stomach by performing sit-ups, crunches and leg lifts everyday. Do one set of 10 repetitions of each type of exercise. As you lose weight, this extra abdominal work will make itself apparent.
