Are These the Reasons Why You’re Not Losing Belly Fat? Are you choosing the wrong kind of workout or doing exercises that aren’t challenging enough. Instead, opt for high-intensity interval training. Several studies have confirmed that exercising in shorter bursts with rest periods in between burns more fat than exercising continuously for an entire session. Try intervals of 3mins of high heart rate cardio sessions alternating with 3 mins weights or 30 secs maximum output with 90 sec recovery. You only need 30mins two to three times per week. The key factor that makes this training so effective is intensity. To reap maximum results, you need to work out at maximum intensity, with rest periods in between spurts. I also recommend incorporating Buteyko breathing into your workout, which involves breathing through your nose while doing your workout. This raises the challenge to another level and increases oxygen to your cells. Proper Diet Is Key for Success No matter how much or how well you exercise, all your efforts may come to naught if you’re still eating processed foods, too many grain carbohydrates, sugars and the wrong kinds of fat. • Eating a diet that includes too many sugars and grains (grains turn to sugar once you consume them) • The sugar metabolizes to (turns into) fat and is stored in your fat cells “Are you committed to the work needed to lose belly fat? ‘ Indeed, there’s no magic pill, I recommend starting with your diet, and then adding in the exercise as the weight starts coming off. I believe about 80 percent of your ability to reduce excess body fat is determined by what you eat. Don’t be discouraged if it takes a few months, though. Some bodies require more time to make the shift from burning sugar to burning fat as its primary fuel. Just keep making incremental changes, and stick with it.
