Common Questions:- Q: How do I lose fat around my belly and Muffin Top Misconception: 100 Crunches a day will not produce a 6 pack! Reality: If you want to see definition the body fat percentage required is around 10% for men and 15% for women. A: There is no way of spot reducing fat, you lose weight from different areas at different times depending on how your body decides to shift it. But you can help it along! *Eat breakfast in the morning within an hour of waking up as it keeps your insulin levels steadier (which in turn helps to decrease cravings) *Reduce your stress levels: Try and get plenty of sleep, at least 7 hours, if you are restless at night get a book and read yourself to sleep. Set aside 10-15 mins a day for meditation where you have some calm and peaceful time to release any worrying thoughts and relax, breathe deeps breaths and forget about your worries, breathe in positive thoughts and out negative thoughts. *Interval training: this is a great fat burner an you can do it anywhere. If at the gym I like to do 1 min at a fast sprint and then 1 min at a power walk on an incline. If you dont go to a gym do it outside, at the beach! Or just power walk. Skipping rope is a great workout to do at home, you could even throw in some hula hoop intervals if you have one. *Cut out refined grains for whole grains: swap white rice for brown rice *Drink plenty of water *Do cardio and resistance training plus core and ab exercises *Reduce calorie consumption. 1500 for weight loss *Eat good fats!: such as avocados, nuts, seeds, soybeans. They can prevent the accumulation of belly fat *Get more fibre in your diet *Measure your progress: Measure yourself bust/waist/hips once a month. Weigh yourself the same time once a week (dont rely on the scales if you are a gym bunny!) Ok so that seems a lot, but hey Rome wasnt built in a day!!!
