Losing belly fat is not impossible

Losing belly fat is not impossible

Stubborn belly fat is one of the most difficult challenges when trying to lose weight. That last little pouch or roll just seems to hang around no matter how hard one works to get rid of it. Although it may be tough, losing belly fat is not impossible. A good plan is what is needed and a good plan involves exercise and eating the right foods. Getting enough sleep also factors in to achieving that six pack.

Eating right is a main ingredient in losing stubborn belly fat. Consumption of sugar and fat even a modest levels will not do anything toward helping get rid of belly fat, neither will over-consumption of carbohydrates, even those that are billed as healthy. Those who are serious about getting rid of belly fat need to consume lean protein and more vegetables. Another staple for losing any type of fat is drinking enough plain water. Water help rids the body of toxins and aids in metabolism. Not drinking enough water can cause the body to hold on to fluid, resulting in a bloated belly. By giving up gassy soft drinks, it is possible that the fluid reduction will result in a flatter belly. 

Permanent fat loss is best achieved via a dedicated program that reduces sugar intake while introducing valuable nutrients into the system on a daily basis. Combined with exercise, proper diet will help eliminate stored fat and result in a healthier human being. Burning extra calories during an  aerobic workout and weight training does not signal the body to replace lost fat so long as the proper nutrition is being consumed each and every day.

How Food Calories Measured.

Calories are a measure of heat. The base unit, one calorie, is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of liquid water by 1° Celsius. Food calories, in particular, are the potential energy (heat) that food generates when eaten. A food calorie is defined differently from the standard calorie used in chemistry and physics. One food calorie is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram (or 1 liter or 2.2 pounds) of liquid water by 1° Celsius. Therefore, a food calorie is 1,000 times as great as a standard calorie.
Over consumption of food calories is a common problem among people, Americans in particular. If a person consumes more calories than his or her body can use, the excess calories are stored as fat.
The nature of food calories is also an important consideration in diet. More calories should be consumed in the form of complex carbohydrates (starches) than simple carbohydrates (sugars). That because simple carbohydrates are generally "empty" calories, meaning they have little nutritional value. Complex carbohydrates, on the other hand, contain nutrients necessary to sustain the body.
Calorie requirements may change as a result of being extremely active, being ill, or a woman being pregnant.

We have to keep working on our fitness. Here is a Guy that uses a different way to measure. Larry Smarr once spent two weeks measuring everything he put in his mouth. He charted each serving of food in grams or teaspoons, and broke it down into these categories: protein, carbohydrates, fat, sodium, sugar, and fiber.
