How to Get Rid of My Belly Fat

There is no perfect exercise for losing weight around your waist. And there is no way to tell your body to go after the fat on your waist before all other areas. If you are a man, your belly is the last place that excess fat will remain. The best way to get a simmer waistline is to follow a healthy weight-loss plan that includes a consistent exercise routine and healthy eating.

Instructions

• 1

  Limit your daily calorie intake. To lose weight, your body must burn more calories than it consumes. Eat a balanced diet that includes high-protein foods such as fish, poultry, eggs and beans, as well as a range of fruits and vegetables. You don't need to count every calorie, but take a day or two to write down your caloric intake so you get a good idea of how many you really are consuming. Eliminate high-calorie foods such as pasta and bread, and consider protein supplements that are low in calories. Also, cut out sugar and sugary products like soda and candy.

• 2

  Strengthen your muscles. Add more muscle mass and your body will naturally burn more calories. Maintain a routine that works each major muscle group. Specific exercises such as squats and deadlifts work your entire body. Include some cardio exercise in your workout, but don't overdo it. Balance the days you spend on strength and cardio. Your body can only do so much, so make sure you let it properly recover.

• 3

  Limit alcohol consumption. Alcohol not only adds calories to your diet, it slows your metabolism and makes you want to eat more. Having an occasional drink is fine, but don't overdo it.

• 4

  Eat frequent small meals. Every time your body has to digest something, it expends energy. Eating frequent, smaller meals keeps your body constantly at work burning calories.

• 5

  Stay motivated. Losing weight around your waist takes time. Maintain a realistic goal for trimming down. Change up your workout plan to keep things interesting. Consider adding a sport; basketball, swimming and martial arts are good choices. Keep track of your results, and don't get discouraged.
