Belly Fat on Women-Some Tips on Reducing it

You probably don't like the fat under your upper arm or on your thighs, however the fat on the belly is the hardest to deal with and has serious health risks also. If your waist bulges out as far or farther than your hips, this is not good. Lets take some steps to rapidly do away with the Belly Fat.

The first thing that you should do is to make a commitment to yourself to stay with this program until the Belly Fat is reduced to the level that you want. It definately requires commitment and attention to the program 24/7. You have to be aware of the amount of food that you are eating and the kind of food.

Get yourself a notebook and write down the number of pounds that you want to lose, date it and write down what you presently weigh and your waist measurement. Once a week weigh yourself and take your waist measurement just above the navel, be sure to write these down in your notebook. Do not do this more than once a week. Set yourself a reasonable goal, say one inch off the waist per month.

Lets get started. First thing in the morning on arising take the juice of half a lemon in eight ounces of warm water and drink it down. What this does is to get your metabolism in high gear. If you like you can substitute apple cider vinegar (two teaspoons) for the lemon. This will also help to keep the liver cleansed and working in top order.

Diet Stay away from simple carbohydrates, go for the complex ones. Better yet get yourself a book or article about the glycemic index and eat the foods recommended. You can eat a lot of food, you just have to be more selective. Stay away from sugar and products made with it. Stay away from alcoholic beverages and caffienated drinks ( this is tough but you have inches to lose, remember?) Caffiene causes the body to store fat. Alcohol is carbs and it also blocks the bodies ability to utilize vitamins and minerals (not good). Drink lots of water, you should drink one ounce of water a day for every two pounds of body weight. Water flushes out the toxins that build up in the body and hydrates it. Eat more fresh fruit and vegetables to get the vitamins, minerals and enzymes that they provide and they just taste good.

Excercise Yeah, the E word. Excercise in addition to the above suggestions, will cause you to be stronger and will take inches off of the waist line if you do the right ones. Probably the best excercise for thinning the waist is sit-ups. Do the sit-ups just before bedtime. Do at least ten a day or whatever you can do to start with and build yourself up to 25-30 sit-ups a day. Do these without fail, everyday!! If you miss a day it's almost like starting over, do it right and don't miss. Another good excercise is to just take a walk everday. Getting as much excercise in each day as you can will help you burn extra fat away. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Look for ways to get more excercise in your day to day routine. If you haven't excercised in awhile, you should check with your doctor to be sure it is safe for you to do these excercises.

Some Ideas That Help Find someone to excercise with, it's more fun and makes excercising go by faster. Don't weigh yourself everyday, you won't see the ups and downs and get discouraged. Get your family to support you in this endeavor. Explain to them that it's more about being healthy than it is about appearances.

Don't fall for the pill pusher claims that you can lose 30 lbs in 10 days junk that they promote. Do it right and go slow and deliberate.

You can do this, it's a little hard at first but you will get used to the lifestyle changes and it will benefit you in many ways. Stick to it and enlist the help and support of friends and family. In no time the inches will go away and you will be very proud of yourself.
