5 simple ways to lose belly fat quickly and naturally

One of the biggest questions today is “how do I lose my belly fat? I’ve tried several things but nothing worked”. You’ll hear things like “I’ve tried cutting calories down, a 100 sit-ups a day, fat burners, cardio etc. but nothing seems to be working”.
Belly fat (visceral fat) can be lost in the simplest ways. If you can’t lose your belly fat you’re using the wrong approach. You don’t need endless sit-ups, starving yourself, surgery, supplements or fat burners. All you need is the right approach to losing belly fat and you’ll lose as much as you want to lose in no time. Here are the 6 best ways to lose your belly fat quickly and naturally.

1. Get in the right mindset to workout.

Getting into the right state of mind is necessary to accomplish anything worthwhile in life. The mind and the body need to be in harmony for effective result. The mind needs to know that it has begun a weight loss program and should weigh 100lbs by 5pm march 1 2018. This brings me to the next point.

2. Set goals.

Having a solid fitness goal is an amazing way to power you towards success, but not all goals are created equal. While it's great to have an end-game in mind, there are some best practices when it comes to goal setting. Whether you want to lose weight, improve your fitness level, or train for an event, putting the SMART method into action can help you achieve what you set out to do.
SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-bound. This simple but powerful formula is reliable to attain any fitness objective.

Specific:

For optimum result, the goal has to be specific. Example would be “I will lose weight”.

Measurable:

The goal is not complete if it’s not measurable. And by measurable I mean quantifiable. An example would be “I will weigh 165lbs”.

Attainable:

While it is good to set big goals, it is also important not to go overboard and set unrealistic goals. Starting with something you know you can achieve would set you on the right path, step by step to achieving something bigger in the long-run. An example of an attainable goal would be to start with losing a few pounds, let’s say 10pounds.
Relevant
Having a “why” for your action and the process you want to begin can be a strong motivation especially when the going gets though. It is always going to get tough, but your “why” would propel you; give you that extra energy and drive you need into accomplishing your goal. An example of relevance would be something of this sort “I will weigh 165lbs on my wedding day”.

Time bound:

The goal is never complete without a fixed deadline for its accomplishment. A deadline has to be fixed to create a sense of urgency and purpose. An example of creating a deadline would be something like this “I will weigh 160lbs before the 5th of March 2018”.

3. Exercise.

If you really want to lose weight, you need to include an hour of exercise in your daily routine for targeting and burning belly fat. Exercises like crunches cycling, jogging, walking, running, bending side to side and swimming would be necessary to achieving your set objective.

4. Track your food to know exactly what and how much you eat.

What we eat is important. Everyone knows this. But what most don’t know is that how much we eat is equally as important. It doesn't mean however that you need to start weighing and measuring everything you eat for the rest of your life, but doing it every now and then for a few days in a row can help you realize where you need to make changes.

5. Drink plenty of water regularly.

Drinking enough water each day has some pretty significant effects on weight loss; however, it cannot shrink your belly on its own. A healthy, reduced-calorie diet, plenty of exercise and a few lifestyle changes, in addition to drinking plenty of water, will help you fight -- and win -- the battle of the belly bulge.!
Drink water in place of other higher calorie beverages, including fruit juice, soda, milk, sweet tea and alcoholic beverages. If you eliminate one glass of fruit juice and one can of regular soda from your diet each day and replace them with water, you'll cut more than 1,500 calories from your diet each week. Just that small change alone is enough to lose half a pound each week, which will help trim your belly.

These 5 simple steps are tested and proven. It will work for the person who works it.
