How to Get Rid of an Innertube Belly

If you have that extra tire around your stomach area, you are carrying around what is commonly known as an inner tube belly. This area very often carries excess weight and can contribute to diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. Although it is difficult, it is possible to eliminate that bulge around the middle of your waist.

Instructions

• 1

  Eliminate sugar and all processed foods from your diet. That means no fast food french fries or homemade brownies. If it contains saturated fat it will go directly to your belly.

• 2

  Eat protein and not carbohydrates. That means you should load up on meat and egg whites, but get rid of bread, cereals, potatoes and pasta. Excess carbs go directly to fat stores.

• 3

  Drink at least 64 oz. of water daily. This will help to flush toxins and fats from your system as they are burned.

• 4

  Throw away high-calorie drinks. This means you should get rid of all soft drinks, juices and sports drinks that contain excess calories and carbohydrates.

• 5

  Do aerobic exercise that burns calories. Be sure you exercise at a level where you are burning fat. See a fitness specialist or a doctor to determine the aerobic level at which you will burn fat.

• 6

  Do crunches, sit ups, lower leg lifts, side bends and other exercises to target the front, back and side abdominal area. If you belong to a gym, set up an appointment with a personal trainer to instruct you in proper technique for optimal abdominal gains.

• 7

  Eliminate fat from your diet. Cut excess fat from meats, do not use butter or creams, and skim fat out of soups or gravies. Drink milk, but stick to 2 percent or less.
