Battling with stubborn belly fat? Jay Conroy, a personal trainer, coach, and former pro footballer, shares his five top tips for efficient fat-burning.

Are you struggling to lose that extra weight and keep it off? If so, then it’s time to step up your game and start burning more fat! Burning fat is an important part of any fitness plan, but there are many small steps you can take to boost your results. From making smarter food choices to exercising smarter, here’s some of the best ways for you to start torching the stubborn fat away today!

Here’s five key things you can do to burn fat…

- Look at your portion control

- Focus on cardio-based exercises

- Change the type of grain you eat to whole grain

- Get more sleep (and more quality sleep)

- Eat healthy fats

I know it’s easier said than done but portion size can really help. Just changing the size of your portions (I recommend using smaller plates) you can instantly reduce your visceral fat by 12% just by limiting the amount of food you consume for a small or controlled portion of food.

Whether it’s running, rowing, cycling, walking, for just 30 minutes, improving your cardio routine you can have a significant impact on reducing your visceral and liver fat. Once you have this as a routine after two weeks it can become very easy to introduce resistance-based training to really smash your numbers out the park.

Now some people want to reduce their belly fat. As you can’t specifically target certain areas that you want to lose weight, I have found that my clients that have changed to whole grains, whole oats, rye, and bulgur wheat they have found a huge reduction of abdominal fat, so this should put a smile on the faces of those who want to reduce stomach bloating and size.

I can’t stress the importance of a good night’s sleep and in my opinion it’s the easiest and simplest change to make. By setting an alarm or making a conscious decision to turn your phone off an hour before bed can have a huge improvement on quality of sleep. This will help your body function better throughout the night and aid in your fat burning cycle compared to people with poor sleeping habits.

This could sound like a huge contradiction because you’re not supposed to eat fat right? WRONG!!! Healthy fats have been proven to benefit individuals who are looking to reduce their waste size and also improve your brain function. Remember Trans fats are the bad guys and monounsaturated fats are the good guys.
