Remember that losing belly fat is not a sprint it is a marathon. Losing weight takes time and effort, but following these three simple tips should increase your results.

1. Eat the proper amount of calories – neither too little nor too much in order to lose belly fat. It is necessary to calculate the proper amount of calories for you to consume in order to lose a safe and healthy amount of weight each week. First figure out your basal metabolic rate using one of the many calculators available on-line make sure that when you figure this out that you include the exercise that you are planning to do. After you get this number then subtract 500 calories from the total which gives you the number of calories you should eat each day in order to lose weight.

2. Eat the proper types of calories and foods. While it is possible to lose belly fat while eating all junk foods but staying within calories it is not a healthy way to go about losing weight. Try to include foods that will help boost your metabolism and add to your energy levels. An important thing to remember is to decrease simple carbs and increase complex carbs. Also try to consume about 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight each day.

3. Workout utilizing both cardiovascular exercises and weight training . Combining these two types of training boosts the ability for the body to lose belly fat. The weight training helps add to lean muscle mass which can help boost the metabolism and increase weight loss. The cardiovascular exercise helps burn calories and fat. A good starting point for beginning an exercise routine is to set aside about 45 minutes 3 days a week then start with weight training for about 15 minutes then continue on with about 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise.
