Looking for a fast and healthy way to lose your belly fat?

Have you decided that it's time to lose some of your ugly belly fat? Maybe you have a wedding or other event coming up and want to look leaner and sexier before the big day arrives. Maybe you've heard about the dangers of excess abdominal fat and would like to get rid of it as fast as possible. Maybe you're just tired of having a big "beer belly" and are looking for ways to burn off the extra weight, get fit, feel good, and look better quickly.

No matter what your reasons for wanting to lose belly fat, you're in luck because that's what this page is all about! Through years of research and my own personal experience I've found several techniques that work incredibly well for burning body fat -- especially stomach fat -- in a short amount of time. Best of all, these techniques are relatively safe. They won't slow down your metabolism or hurt your overall health. They're definitely A LOT safer than going on extended "crash" diets, exercising for hours every day, fasting for weeks, taking handfuls of "fat burners," diet pills, etc., or any of the other extreme fat loss techniques many people use to try and lose lots of belly fat fast.

Important Note: Keep in mind that these techniques can help to jumpstart a fat loss program, allowing you to get some visible results quickly and build some momentum, motivation, confidence, etc. But for long-term weight loss success you'll need a practical plan which includes both diet and exercise... and that you can stick with (I highly recommend the Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle program).

Also, while the techniques described below are, for the most part, safer than many common "fast weight loss" methods, there is always a certain amount of risk when starting a new fitness program. You should definitely talk with your doctor before beginning any new diet or exercise routine, especially if you have existing health problems.

Lose Belly Fat Fast: 4 Proven Steps

Follow these powerful and proven steps to burn belly fat as fast as possible...

1. Cut all "white" carbohydrates and fried foods out of your diet.

Few things will help you reduce your abdominal fat faster than cutting highly-processed carbohydrates out of your diet. These foods, sometimes referred to as "white carbs," include anything made with refined flour and/or refined sugars. They are almost always calorie-rich but nutrient-poor and do all kinds of bad things to your blood sugar and insulin levels. The most common examples are breads, cereals, and pastas. Other common foods to avoid are white potatoes and white rice. Obviously avoid all non-diet sodas/soft drinks and candies. While you're at it, cut out all fried foods as these contain huge amounts of "bad" fats and calories (both of which add inches to your waistline).

By the way, if you're looking for a an easy-to-follow and highly-effective weight loss eating plan that you can actually "stick with" be sure to check out the Idiot Proof Diet program.

2. Focus on eating lean proteins, veggies, beans/legumes and "good" fats.

I've found that by eating small balanced meals containing protein, fresh or frozen vegetables, beans/legumes, and healthy fats several times per day I can lose belly fat quickly yet maintain a high energy level. Maintaining energy and not feeling "crappy" is essential and makes it much easier to stay on any diet. Good protein choices include just about any lean meat, fish, eggs, egg substitutes, and low-fat/low-sugar dairy products. Fresh or frozen veggies, beans and legumes, and small amounts of fresh fruit are the best carbohydrates sources when you're trying to lose weight. Also, for optimal health (and even faster weight loss) it's extremely important to get some "good" fats into your diet from such sources as nuts, seeds, avocados, olives, olive oil, coconut oil, and fish oil.

Note: Most people are able to lose body fat faster if they avoid grain products. If you feel like you can't do without breads, cereals, pastas, etc. at least choose the healthiest, least fattening options made from 100% whole grains. Oatmeal, quinoa, and barley are very healthy choices.

3. Do shorter, but more intense, workouts that incorporate both strength and cardio training.

Here's something that may shock you: jogging, bike riding, walking and other forms of low-intensity exercise are not the best choices when it comes to fat loss. You're going to burn more belly fat in less time by focusing on shorter, higher-intensity workout sessions that incorporate both cardio/aerobic training and strength/weight training. Interval training, hill running, wind sprints, and fast swimming are all great exercises for losing belly fat. In terms of strength training, focus on "compound" movements that work multiple muscle groups at the same time: squats, pushups, dips, pullups, chinups, rows, etc. Also exercise your entire body once or twice a week in order to literally force your body to produce powerful hormones that burn fat while building muscle at the same time (e.g. testosterone, growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor, etc.).

4. Make a few healthy lifestyle changes.

Just a few relatively small changes in your lifestyle can make a huge impact on your health and your body. These include:

Sleeping at least 7-8 hours per night - If you're not getting enough sleep it's going to be very difficult to find the energy to exercise and eat well in order to slim down and lose your belly fat. Studies have even shown that people who are chronically tired tend to have slower metabolisms and store more of their body fat in their bellies than people who get enough sleep.

Limiting your alcohol intake - Consuming alcoholic beverages (including beer, wine, and liquor) slows down your body's natural fat burning processes due to the way alcohol affects the liver. Limit your intake to 1 drink per day. Red wine is probably the best choice since it's low-carb and may have some extra health benefits.

Reducing stress levels - People who have chronically elevated stress levels tend to produce certain hormones -- such as cortisol -- that make it extremely difficult to lose abdominal fat. Learning how to minimize your stress will do a lot of good things besides help you lose weight (e.g. boost your energy levels, reduce your risk of developing certain health problems, etc.). The good news is that the combination of regular exercise, healthy eating, and sufficient sleep has been shown to dramatically reduce stress and anxiety in most people. And once your stress levels have dropped you'll almost definitely begin to lose belly fat much faster!
