How to Burn Tummy Fat

Exercise is the best way to create the calorie deficit necessary to lose weight. You can do it by reducing your calorie intake, but you run the risk of switching your metabolism into starvation mode. Calorie reduction alone can actually cause you to lose muscle and cause your body fat percentage to increase.

Slashing calories will cause your body to switch into starvation mode, which means you burn fewer calories. In fact your metabolism can slow by 20 to 30 percent. If you severely cut your calories it can cause you metabolism to drop by as much as 45%.

Exercise on the other hand raises your metabolism causing your to burn more calories. You can create a calorie deficit without triggering the starvation response. Exercise tells your body to keep the muscle and increase fat-burning enzymes and hormones. It also causes carbohydrates to be more likely burned for energy or stored as glycogen rather than fat.

1. Exercise your core: You will need to have abs in order to see them. Crunches are the most common, but are necessary to work your entire core. There are many whole body exercises that will work you core hard. One important key more is not always better. Doing the fewer exercises slowly and correctly is more effective than doing many quickly and wrong. Also your abs needs a rest day just like your other muscles. The rest period is when your muscles actually grow. Exercise is when you tear them down.Your core is more than just

2. The second and most important step is a diet. You can do as many reps of sit ups you want, but you will not burn tummy fat, or even looking like you are in shape, if you do not watch the food you eat. Another tip is to use carb tapering. What you do is eat more carbs at the start of the day tapering to fewer later in the day. When you do this it naturally puts most of the calories in the earlier parts of the day. This gives you the greatest chance that the calories you eat will be burned and not stored as fat.
Drink plenty of water - you need to get 8 to 12 eight ounce glasses of water (plain water). Avoid white sugar and flour. They are highly refined and go into your blood stream quickly. This will cause your blood sugar to spike and fall, which will increase your cravings. Find your calorie maintenance level and stay 15 to 20 percent below that. If you want to use a more aggressive approach be careful. You do not want to keep the calories low for too long. If you take the aggressive approach you will want to increase calorie intake a couple of days a week to keep your metabolism from shifting into starvation mode. Also spread the calories out over the whole day. Don't starve yourself all day and ping out in the evening. Too much of even good foods will cause the fat to stay on. Eat high quality lean protein with each meal. Get the majority of your carbs from a natural plant source..
