Secret To Lose Fat

1. Don't overeat
Sounds simple, but how many of us follow this rule? We really don't need that many calories each day - about 1800 is more than enough for the average adult. Always leave the dinner table feeling like you could have eaten more, and leave a gap of at least 2 hours between meals. Frequent small meals rather than a few large ones is a celebrity fat loss secret.

2. Chew!
Your mom probably nagged you to chew your food well and she was right. When you take your time with your meals and chew slowly, you not only get more flavour and nutrition out of your food, you also feel full faster so you don't overeat.

3. Switch to tea
Want to lose belly fat?You need to ban those aerated drinks and colas right away. Aerated drinks lead to abdominal bloating which can give you an unsightly paunch. Switch to tea if you really need a caffeine kick without empty calories. Fennel tea is great for losing fat belly. Use a bit of honey instead of heaping your tea with sugar.

4. No more midnight feasts
Leave a gap of at least 3 hours between dinner and bedtime. This gives you body time to digest your food and convert it into energy instead of fat. Try and shut down your kitchen at a fixed time every night and don't have any readymade or microwaveable snacks lying around. Mindless munching won't help you get trim fast.

5. Exercise
You were dreading this bit, weren't you? The bad news is that you just cannot get rid of belly fat (or any type of fat) unless you exercise. The good news is that you don't have to spend hours in the gym for that. The point is not just to lose weight fast, but to change your lifestyle from a sedentary to an active one. You can start out slow - go for a little walk with a loved one after dinner or join a dance class. Just find something you think is fun and stick to it.
