How to Lose Your Belly Fat Quickly and Naturally | StrongLifts

One of the biggest questions I get is how do I lose my belly fat? Ive tried several things but nothing worked. When I ask what you tried I hear 100 daily sit-ups, cutting calories drastically, excess cardio, fat burners, etc.

If you cant lose your belly fat, youre using the wrong approach. You dont need endless sit-ups, supplements, starving yourself or worse surgery. Here are the 10 best ways to lose your belly fat quickly and naturally.

1. Stop Doing Crunches. Crunches will strengthen your stomach muscles, but wont burn the belly fat that covers your abs. Spot reduction is a myth. Youre wasting time & effort doing 200 daily crunches.

Crunches can also cause lower back pain, slouching shoulders & forward head posture. The Reverse Crunch doesnt cause these problems, but again: spot reduction is a myth. To lose your belly fat, you need more. Keep reading.

2. Get Stronger. Strength training builds muscle mass, prevents muscle loss and helps fat loss. The Squat & Deadlift work best to build strength.

Spot reduction still doesnt exist, so Squats & Deadlifts wont burn your belly fat directly. However theyll strengthen your abs and lower your waist size. If you never did both exercises, check StrongLifts 55. Only takes 3x45mins/week.

3. Eat Healthy. As the saying goes abs are built in the kitchen. You can train hard & build muscular abs, but if you eat junk food all day, you wont lose your belly fat. Stop eating processed food. Eat whole, unprocessed foods.

No need to be perfect. Eating junk food actually helps fat loss by keeping your hormones sharp. Dont overdo it though. Eat junk food 10% of the time max. Thats 4 junk meals/week if you eat 6 meals/day.

4. Limit Alcohol Consumption. To lose your belly fat, what you drink is as important as what you eat. Alcohol from time to time is OK. But forget about losing your belly fat if you drink beer & sweet alcohols daily.

Beer drinkers always have a pearshape: belly fat & man boobs especially as they get older. Alcohol also stresses your liver which has to overwork to clear the toxins. This can get in the way of building muscles.

Drink alcohol 10% of the time. Example Friday & Saturday night. Normal alcohol consumption, not the get drunk. Rest of the time: water, water with squeezed lemon, green tea, etc. Either that or forget about losing your belly fat.

5. Eat Less Carbs. You need carbs for energy. Problem is that most people eat way more carbs than they need. Your body will stock the carbs it doesnt need as fat. And this is often how you get belly fat.

Unless youre a skinny guy who needs to gain weight, lower your carb intake. Keep eating fruits & veggies with each meal. But cut back on potatoes, pasta, rice, breads, Eat these post workout only.

6. Eat More. Eating tons of healthy foods wont make you fat. Especially not if you exercise 2-3x/week. Starving yourself is the number 1 nutritional mistakes. Healthy nutrition is important for 3 reasons:

Hunger means youre not eating enough. Dont worry about calories. Just eat breakfast and eat every 3 hours from there on, including post workout. Eat healthy foods 90% of the time to lose your belly fat fast.

7. Eat More Protein. Protein has a higher thermic effect than other foods: your body burns more energy processing proteins than it does processing carbs and fat. Thats why high protein diets work great at burning your belly fat.

How much protein do you need daily? Do like I do: eat whole protein with each meal without worrying about the numbers. Check the 10 cheapest sources of protein to keep it budget-friendly.

8. Eat More Fat. Fat doesnt make you fat. Bad nutrition and lack of exercise do. Eating fat actually helps fat loss. Your body wont stock fat as easily if your give it a constant intake of healthy fats.

Fish oil is the best source of fat to lose your belly fat. Fish oil naturally increases testosterone levels and increases fat loss. 6g omega-3 per day is a good start. Check Carlson Fish Oil: 1600mg omega-3 per tbsp.

Stay away from trans-fatty fats present in products like margarine. Trans-fatty fats are bad for your health. Eat whole unprocessed foods 90% of the time as I recommend in point 3 and youll avoid trans-fatty fats easily.

9. Lower Your Body Fat. As a man, your belly is the last place where youll get rid of fat. If you have man boobs and a double chin, youll have to lower your body fat to lose your belly fat. Heres how:

Check the fat loss guide for more info about how to lower your body fat.

10. Stay Motivated. Looking at your belly or in the mirror gives you inaccurate feedback. What you see is influenced by food intake, water retention, light and your own perception. Self-image issues can make the last one tricky.

Success breeds success. Track progress accurately so you know where you are and stay motivated to keep working at losing your belly fat. Dont just read this post and go back to what you were doing. Take action. Lose your belly fat.
