5 simple ways to lose belly fat without exercise

You could significantly get leaner just by changing your diet. There are certain types of foods and eating habits that can easily help you to lose weight. Below are 5 simple proven strategies that would target the fat in your belly area.

1. Avoid sugar

Studies show that sugar has an adverse metabolic effects on our health. Sugar is half glucose, half fructose which can only be metabolized in the liver. When you eat a lot of sugary foods, your liver gets literally flooded with fructose, and it is forced to turn them into fat. So, this is really simple, avoid anything made with refined sugar, and completely eliminate any drink that has sugar in it. Reach for a fruit instead when you have cravings for sweet.

2. Track your food

If you are eating more than you burn, you are going to end up fat, everyone knows that. But the reality is most people don’t have a clue what they are eating. You might think you eat a low calorie, high protein diet, but you can never be sure unless you count your calories. So, track everything you eat and figure out how much calories you are consuming every day. Avoid anything that is bad for you in terms of fat and calories.

3. Cut carb intake

Restricting the amount of carbohydrates you eat can be a very effective way to lose weight. Numerous studies have shown that eating a low carb diet can help you lose weight faster. Try eating natural, real and unprocessed foods with low carbohydrate contents.

4. Eat foods rich in fiber

Dietary fiber, especially the indigestible plant matters, tends to fill us up without getting us fat. It has been proven that eating plenty of fiber can help you lose weight.  It’s mostly the viscous fibers that bind water and form a thick gel in your stomach help you to lose weight. They slow down the digestion process, giving you a prolonged time of fullness and hunger suppression. So, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables for fiber.

5. Eat a low calorie, high protein diet
