Weight loss, including belly fat, can be boiled down to an equation of caloric consumption against caloric burn. Your body converts calories to energy in order to fuel vital life functions, along with moving your muscles to engage in activities throughout the day. By ingesting less calories than you burn, your body will convert your fat into energy to use. Exercising while maintaining a healthy, moderate diet further offsets the divide between calories ingested and calories burned, which increases fat loss.
Step 1
Start a fitness routine with focus on cardiovascular activity. The objective is do any exercise that raises your heart rate for at least 20 minutes. Cardio activity can include jogging, swimming, speed walking, biking, running or rowing.
Step 2
Create a new diet for yourself with emphasis on cutting calories, eating leaner proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables, and simple carbohydrates.
Step 3
Avoid heavy red meat and stick with fish and lean chicken cuts. Moderate your consumption of desserts and heavily processed snacks and meals. Completely cut out fast food.
Step 4
Join a gym. Gyms are great for engaging in fitness programs, finding workout partners to help motivate you, and even getting a personal trainer.
