We all know belly fat is bad for your health. Studies have shown that if you carry your extra weight above your waist your risk increase for heart disease and diabetes. Carrying that fat around your stomach is a good indication you are an apple body shape. So if you wish to decrease belly fat, dieting and exercise are the answer.

I read an article about eating certain fats with each meal that will specifically target belly fat. I take a flax seed oil supplement with each meal. It seems to be helping. I am not any more physically active than I was, but I am losing weight around my midsection. I have cut down my caloric intake, but not drastically. I especially like the fact that chocolate is listed as one of the things you can eat to help lose weight. They key is to only have one serving with each meal. Some examples of the foods containing the correct fat were chocolate, nuts, flax seed oil, olive oil, avacodas, omega 3 fats such as fish. I am very pleased with the difference that I am seeing.

Doing daily calisthenics in a group. I found myself in the best shape of my life doing a daily workout with a group of my friends vs. doing them alone. I would often find myself slacking doing things solo, but with my friends everyone would want to keep up with each other. Some of my friends agreed that without the group they would do the same.

I have worked on these tips. My weight was 82kg and I reduced to 56kg

I write down everything I eat and monitor what I was eating and get a clear picture of my eating habits.
2. I use smaller plates because i feel that I feel full when my plate is empty, regardless of how much I eat. And when I have 4 to 6 healthy mini meals a day, I will not be hungry. I have controlled the craving.
3. I use to go daily for a walk,morning for 2hrs and evening for 1hrs. I avoid sweets and lessen the intake of sugar.
4. I use to take Green tea.
5. I use to have apple and cookie as a snaks in the evening.
6.I never cut down my meal,i started eating smartly.

My favorite body fat loss tip is a simple one. First, you must burn more calories than you eat. This means keeping track of what you take in.

The second part of the equation is exercise. A good mix of weight training and cardio will also help reduce your waistline.

But do not forget the third part of the equation. A positive mental attitude is very important. I have often begun to mentally prepare myself for a diet for a couple of days. I picture myself on the diet, see the results in my mind and generally mentally see the whole picture before I start.

There you are a good plan of attack for your next diet. Positive mental attitude should be number one step in any diet.

There was study written up in JAMA in 2007 that overweight apple-shaped guys and dolls are "high-insulin secretors", while pear-shaped guys and dolls are "low-insulin secretors. So what does this mean? According to the study, it means that apple-shaped people do better on low glycemic load than on low fat diets. While pears it doesn't make a different.

So your body shape (apple or pear) can help determine which diet is likely to work best for you. The role of insulin, which triggers the body to store excess glucose as fat, is central to the way different food types are handled. Some overweight people secrete high amounts of insulin, others low amounts. The high-secretors are likely to be apple- shaped, the low secretors pear-shaped.

The low glycemic diet (40% carbohydrate, 35% fat, and rich in low glycemic foods) was proven to be the best diet in this study for the high-insulin secretors, most likely apple-shaped. While the low-insulin secretors, most likely pear-shape, did the same on the low glycemic and low fat diets (55% carbohydrate, 23% fat).

So since we are looking to lose the belly fat, we must be apples, we need the low glycemic load diets. Ok I will find out which are the best low glycemic diets.
