3 Tips To Lose That Belly Fat! By Mike Chang
Today I want to give you my three best tips for losing weight around your midsection. By just doing these three things, you can easily lose weight and get closer to your goal of six pack abs. Tip #1: Control Your Liquid Calories When we think about cutting the fat on our bellies, the first thing that comes to our mind is cutting down on solid food. But one thing that most guys don’t take into account is the amount of LIQUID calories they consume. These liquid calories are typically totally empty of nutrition, and they can really add up fast. If you’ve been trying to lose weight but haven’t been successful, liquid calories could be the reason why. Think about it: a soda of the size typically served at restaurants has about 480 calories, all pure sugar. And the average twelve ounce bottle of beer has about 160 calories. How easy is it to drink 5 or 6 beers without even thinking about it? That’s a huge amount of empty calories which go straight to your gut. Before you even start worrying about changing what you’re eating, start paying attention to what you’re DRINKING. This means: - Drinking tea, juice, water, or even diet soda in place of regular soda - Replacing beer or sugary alcoholic drinks with healthier alternatives, such as a vodka tonic - Avoiding excess consumption of sugary juices, even though they’re marketed as “healthy” Tip #2: Boost Your Metabolism BEFORE Trying To Lose Weight Another thing that will make weight loss MUCH easier for you is boosting your metabolism BEFORE you try and lose weight. If your metabolism is low, weight loss is going to be incredibly difficult. You’ll have to eat incredibly tiny portions of food every day, and even if you’re exercising all the time you will still have difficulty losing weight. Your metabolism is the most important factor in your weight loss, bar none. An extremely hard cardio workout might burn 300 calories at the most but your metabolism will burn between 1500-3000 calories, EVERY SINGLE DAY, WHETHER YOU WORK OUT ON THAT DAY OR NOT. It’s BY FAR the most important factor – you will easily burn 20x more calories through your metabolism than through exercise directly.
