Lose Belly Fat Naturally - 7 Best Strategy
In general, men should have no more than about 14% of body fat, and women should shoot for about 20 to 23%. If you are more than that, you may need to get rid of belly fat to get there. Here are some tips that can help you at some point. These should be done consistently. However, since it is not realistic to reach to a point of losing weight so fast, consultation from your health care provider is a must to help you set your goals and what are you going to do about it.
1. Eliminate all unhealthy, fatty and processed foods from your diet and follow a healthy and a low fat diet. Include the following foods in your diet: healthy carbs, lean protein, healthy fats, fat free dairy products and lots of fruits and veggies.
2. Protein can also help with weight loss. Foods that are high in protein include eggs, milk, meat, fish, poultry, and soy products. Protein foods help speed up the metabolism and leave a person feeling full. Web M.D. recommends that adults eat at least 11 grams of protein daily.
3. Several studies have shown that Cayenne pepper is the best natural spice for losing weight and belly fat. Cayenne pepper aids in increasing your body's metabolism. Adding cayenne on a regular daily basis to your meal can boost your metabolism by 30% to burn of excess abdominal fat. It is also known to reduce appetite and beneficial to the heart.
4. Some people will tell you to stop eating grains altogether because they are primarily carbohydrate and carbohydrate is a kind of sugar which your body can use to turn into fat. Bad idea! Carbohydrate is brain food. Without sufficient carbohydrate in your diet, your brain doesn't work very well.
The types of carbohydrate that should be eliminated from your diet are the refined carbohydrates. An easy way to remember what not to eat is: If it's white, don't eat it....white flour...white sugar...white salt.
5. Stick to cardio interval training when it comes to cardio. All you need is 20 minutes 3 times a week (just make sure to really take the pace up some times).
6. It helps to increase the rate of metabolism thus helping to burn fat and reduce stomach fat. It increases the pH of stomach acid, reducing its acidity, lowering the rate of gastric secretions, and increasing digestive enzyme activity.
7. Eating fresh fruit and vegetables is also considered another best way to lose belly fat naturally.
If possible however, avoid processed foods. This includes foods that are sold as "diet foods" and "low fat foods". They are all adulterated, usually with added sugar and/or sugar substitutes, and not good for you.

Frequently Asked Questions...
What should I do to get abs and maybe pecs by the start of the school year?
Well, like I said before I have a naturally muscular body, but terrible life style choices has caused the curses of belly fat and man boobs to afflict my body.
Right now I am planning to...
Do 60-100 pushups and Situps everyday.
(Not 60-100 straight; I'll do a set of 10 situps and 10 pushups every hour)
Run 5 miles per hour on treadmill for 10 minutes everyday.
And I'm fixing to ask my sister for one of her taebo videos to help.
I'll do Billy Blank's Taebo every morning.
I know I need to limit my eating.
I need to "Burn more calories than I eat"
Do you think Taebo, 60 push ups and situps, and a 5mph 10 min run will be enough to burn that many calories If I cut back?
What else should I do to get back my abs and pecs by August 11th?
I don't know If I'll be able to go to a gym, or buy any equipment, so is there anything I can do at home to help? How do I figure out how many calories I lost in a day?
Will I even be able to get abs and pecs by August 11th?
Answer:
Hey Josh, I love your attitude! "Kill the man boobs." make that your motto!
Looking good physically is 60% diet, 40% exercise.
But you know this already, don't you?
You need to add muscle, not just tone up or burn calories..
Don't be doing cardio. Cardio is counterproductive. It helps train your body to burn calories more efficiently, which is great if you are starving and don't want to lose weight, or want to be able to run a half marathon. But that isn't our case here. We want our body to BURN as many as possible. So, stop running for distance...
I had lunch with a dentist friend today, and he runs 12-15 miles a week and hasn't lost a pound in 4 months, and he needs to lose 40. Running doesn't work.
Do high intensity interval training instead.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_interval_training
In other words, sprint for 45 seconds. Walk for 2 minutes, sprint for 45 seconds, walk for 2 minutes. repeat that five times. I do this on an elliptical machine at the gym. You can do it at the high school track if you want. the goal is to absolutely hit the wall and then recover, then do it over. It is grueling, but not as grueling as 45 minutes of "jogging".
Most people eat way too much junk.
Cut the sugar as low as you can. Reduce the amount of bread you eat each day to maybe 2 slices a day or less. Drop the butter, milk and ice cream. No soda, not even diet. Drink water and lots of it, like 3 liters a day. Eat 6 times a day, make certain you have an endless supply of apples and bananas. You can't get real fat eating a 70 calorie fruit:-) Snack on that instead of 400 calories of potato chips. Now, increase the amount of protein you eat, which for you would run about 110 grams a day, or more if you can find it. Do not eat protein free salads. It will hinder your goal of fitness.
You need to track your overall calorie intake, and target a 500 calorie deficit, which is probably about 1800 calories a day for you. Keep track of everything you eat, and the calories that consume. Put it into a spreadsheet, or track it on a sheet of paper. You can find out the calorie counts of most foods either on the product itself or on the web at http://www.calorieking.com and other places out there as well.
You should start doing body weight workouts, push ups, crunches, sprints, squats, lunges etc.
Take up a sport this summer. Swimming is great, bicycling is great too.
For some great body weight exercises, go to http://iwantsixpackabs.com
Go to youtube.com and search for core and chest exercises. I like planks and working with a fitness ball, lots of variations on the theme.
You need to lose just a few lbs and add muscle so that you are lean and fit. You can really start to look good in just a couple months or so, looking great in 3 or 4. But it is HARD work, there is no easy option.
You can do it...
Good luck!
