How to Get Rid of Pudge

Getting rid of the "pudge" typically refers to losing the extra weight and flab that can accumulate around the midsection. It quite literally pudges over your clothes and jeans and makes it hard for clothes to fit properly. To lose the weight, it is necessary to use a combination of a healthy diet, a cardiovascular exercise plan, as well as a strength training regime. The combination of those things will help you lose weight and get rid of pudge.

Instructions

• 1

  Implement a healthy diet. Make sure you are eating a mixture of lean protein such as chicken or fish, plenty of vegetables, complex carbohydrates like brown rice or whole grain pasta, and healthy fats such as peanut butter, avocados, or salmon. While it may seem counterintuitive, eating healthy fats is necessary to slimming down. They are heart healthy and also help keep you full. Fat doesn't make you fat, processed foods with chemicals and sugars do.

  Incorporate some type of cardiovascular exercise into your routine at least 5 to 6 times a week to burn off calories and get lean. Examples of cardio exercises you can do are walking, jogging, running, biking, swimming, or any of the cardio machines at a gym. You can also jump rope or dance for other fun ways to get exercise in. Cardiovascular exercise gives you improved heart health, helps you lose weight, increases your blood circulation, and helps to boost your metabolism even after you are done with the workout.

  Strength or weight training is necessary to get rid of fat. It's the most effective way to change your shape. Building and toning muscle helps shape your arms, legs, and midsection. Aim to do at least 3 to 4 days of strength training per week. Lifting weights also helps you get firmer, and the muscle you build will help you burn more calories at rest.
