(13 Mar 2008) | | | | How to decrease tummy fat in the right way?

In today’s world of fit, slim and trim bodies, everybody wants to have a good figure. Unfortunately, it is not very easy to lose weight, especially, to decrease tummy weight.

People usually try to reduce the fat that has accumulated in the tummy area, by eating less or even starving themselves. However, people stand less of a chance of being successful, by going on crash diets or fad diets. Moreover, by following such a diet, people miss out on the essential nutrients that are required by the body. This could lead to some severe and adverse side effects that could have a long lasting effect on the body.

Therefore, the best way to lose weight on the stomach area, without exposing the body to any dangerous or harmful side effects, is by following a healthy and nutritious diet, combined with an effective and regular exercise routine. There are some people who also use home remedies to reduce fat on the tummy. These home remedies are known to be quite effective. However, it is important to realize that natural and healthy ways to lose weight do not promote rapid weight loss. For people who are grossly overweight or people who need to lose a lot of weight on the stomach area within a short period of time, other surgical procedures of weight loss may be considered.

How to decrease tummy fat by dieting?

Unfortunately, when people consider ways on how to reduce tummy at home, the first thing they tend to do is skip meals and eat less than what they normally do. However, skipping meals is the worst way to lose weight, as it deprives the body of required nutrients and could also lead to food binges later on in the day. Moreover, when people start eating normally, they may gain twice as much as they lost. Hence, it is important to make a few healthy dietary changes, which can be followed on a long term basis. A good and healthy weight loss diet focuses on the number of meals eaten a day, the portions of each meal as well as the foods that are included in the diet.

For starters, instead of eating 2 or 3 meals in a day, a weight watcher should start eating 5 or 6 small meals in a day. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, which should also be the heaviest meal. The other meals should be a lot lighter especially dinner. A heavy breakfast should be followed by a light mid-morning snack, a moderate lunch, a light afternoon snack, an evening snack and then a very light dinner. Health conscious people generally consume fruit, nuts or beverages like smoothies, buttermilk, skim milk, juices and so on, when it is time for a snack.

The manner in which food is cooked plays a very important role too. In order to reduce tummy naturally, fried food, junk food, processed food, instant food, foods containing refined flour, white rice and sweets should be strictly avoided. Instead people should opt for fresh salads (with minimal dressing), sandwiches made in brown bread and food that has been broiled, roasted or grilled. Unhealthy snacks like chips, cookies and other products that are high in salt should be replaced with fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meat, nuts, seeds and other whole grain products. It is best to consult a dietician, consuming any food on a regular basis.

How to decrease tummy by exercising?

Everybody is aware of the fact that exercising is absolutely essential for people of all ages. While exercises like walking, running, jogging, swimming and cycling are excellent for overall weight loss and toning up, they may not be very effective for people who only want to decrease tummy fat. Therefore, when people look for exercises on how to decrease tummy size, most fitness experts recommend tummy crunches. Stomach or abdominal crunches can be performed in different ways, as there are several variations to them. Another exercise that is very easy to perform and can help reduce tummy naturally is the stomach vacuum.

How to decrease tummy fat using home remedies?

One home remedy to reduce tummy that has been recommended by several health experts too, is drinking a cup of warm water after every meal. However, this home remedy for reducing belly fat will not be very effective unless a few drops of lemon or honey are added to it. In fact, one of the first tips to reduce tummy naturally, recommended by any dietician is to increase the daily consumption of water.

Several people are asked to go on a low-sodium diet in order to decrease tummy fat. However, it is not very easy to stick to a diet that consists of mainly boring and tasteless foods. Therefore, the use of certain taste enhancing herbs like oregano, basil and thyme could be another effective home remedy to reduce tummy fat.

How to reduce tummy naturally after delivery?

Women should avoid using any natural, herbal or even home remedies to reduce tummy after delivery, without consulting a doctor. Women who are nursing their babies should ensure that they do not start the weight loss process to early, or their babies could be deprived of the essential nutrients. Exercising too early or too vigorously could also have an adverse effect on the mother’s body. Therefore, it is best to consult a gynecologist for advice on how to reduce tummy naturally, after a delivery.

How to decrease tummy through other procedures?

There are certain medical procedures, like tummy tucks, Bariatric surgery (or gastric banding) and liposuction, which can eliminate the fat that has accumulate in the abdominal area. However, these procedures should only be performed by a qualified expert in order to avoid any complications.

Although the exercises and home tips to reduce tummy fat mention above are relatively safe for everyone to use, it is best to undergo a physical exam and get a go ahead from the doctor, before using any of them. This is especially required in case of people who are suffering from any preexisting medical conditions. It is best to perform all the exercises under the guidance and supervision of a fitness expert, at least in the beginning. In case any of the homely tips to reduce tummy fat or any of the exercises performed, lead to adverse side effects or pain, it is best to stop immediately and consult a doctor, without any delay. | answered by G R on 16 Nov 2010, 5:43:29 | ------------------------------------------------- | Home Remedies to Reduce Tummy

In order for you to reduce your tummy, it is important to adopt a two-fold approach of diet as well as exercise. You can begin the diet part of the program by eliminating five things completely from your diet. These would be rice, potatoes, alcohol, aerated drinks and white bread. This process will cut unnecessary calories. Start each day with a glass of warm water with half a lime and one teaspoon of honey. This will melt fat. You must also avoid snacking between meals. Eat five small meals a day as opposed to three big ones. Space out your meals so that there is a gap of least three hours between each meal. Start each meal with a bowl of salad.

The exercise part of your program should include a 30 minute walk everyday. Do not skip this even once, as that will cause you to not lose weight on that particular day. For the tummy, you must do crunches every day after the walk. This way, your body will be warmed up and there are fewer chances of you hurting yourself. Start with 10 and increase one every day. After your crunches, do this exercise: lie on your tummy and raise your head and feet, while keeping your arms to your side. Stay like that for as long as possible. This will help get rid of your tummy very quickly. | answered by M W on 13 Mar 2008, 11:10:49 | ------------------------------------------------- | | Read more questions in Health Advice | | | Related Topics | * Benefits Nutritious Foods Foods Fight Problems Part III
