Life goes by fast. Let's slow down
We got older where did it go now?
Back in time when all we had was you and me
Hi guys my name is Emi and welcome to stay fit and travel
Today we're going to talk about how to lose the stubborn belly fat that a lot of you
Ask why it never seems to go away even though
You've been trying to eat healthier and work out regularly so the question is are you eating the right food and doing the right exercises?
For example you've been working really hard and doing sit-up and crunches every day
But you're frustrated that your belly is not getting any smaller
it's because these exercises are not actually burning your belly fat these ab exercises make your
Abdominal muscles stronger and bigger, so yes, you're getting ab. But you're not burning the fat layered SS
On tops covering your abs, so if your workout routine is doing sit-ups every day hoping to get rid of the muffin tops
It's not going to happen and you need to change things up. How you ask?
So let's talk about diet what other food that you should eat less and what other food that you can need to actually help you
Burn fat eat less food that has trans fat and high sugar which are two of the main contributors to belly fat
Also watch how much crops you eat while your body does need carbs for energy and muscle building
If you eat way more than need it your body will stop the carbs. It doesn't need less fat
This doesn't only go from food what you drink is as important as what you eat and tsukuri drinks will also lead to
Significant increase in belly fat and don't forget that alcohol can also make you gain belly fat, studies linked heavy alcohol
consumption will significantly increased risk of central obesity that is excess fat storage around the waist so cutting down alcohol will
Definitely help you reduce the waist size so what food and drinks help you lose the belly fat
Your diet should be high in soluble fiber and protein
Research shows soluble fiber promotes weight loss by helping you feel full so you naturally eat less
Studies found that for adults who increased their soluble fiber intake in their diet their belly fat gain decreased by three to four percent over
a five-year period
Protein is also extremely important when it comes to weight control because protein has a higher thermic effect than other food
Meaning a body burns more energy processing proteins than it does processing carbs and fat
That's why high protein diets work great at burning a belly fat
It also increases the release of hormones
Which decrease your appetite and make you feel more for high protein intake also
Increases your metabolic rate and help to retain muscle mass during weight loss many
Observational studies show that people who eat more protein tend to have less
Abdominal fat than those who eat a lower protein diet as for drinks normally
I just stick to water and green tea, green tea is low in calories and rich in
Antioxidants it actually promotes a breakdown of fat cells and boosts metabolism
Which is why I love it another great diet that
I recently tried is intermittent fasting
Which really helps to burn the stubborn belly fat it allows the body to burn more fat during the fasts and also increases our metabolic
rate by 3 to 14 percent explain this in more details in my 10 days intermittent fasting video
And I also film what I ate every day. I'll link the video up here
Next let's talk about the most effective workouts when it comes to reducing belly fat now surprisingly the first one is cardio HIIT
Which is high-intensity interval training is an extremely popular option
Which is also my favorite as you probably can tell from all the HIIT workout videos on my channel
Basically it helps you burn a lot of calories in a short amount of time
Many of us don't have all day to workout in the gym, so when it comes to belly fat
We have to focus on intense workouts to burn the calories and the best thing about
HIIT is so absurd burn which keeps your body working and burning calories and fat even after you finish your workout
There are also other great cardio options for example running spinning swimming that can help you burn up to
600 calories per hour and of course the more intense and the faster you go the more fat you burn off apart from cardio
Resistant and weight training is equally important for belly fat loss a study in overweight teenagers actually
Shows that a combination of strength training and cardio
Exercises leads to the greatest decrease in fat percentage and as you increase your muscle mass your body burn more fat more
effectively when it comes to ab
Exercises there's one type that will especially help you get a smaller waist and that is the ones that train your transverse ABS
Transverse ABS are the most (___?) muscle that work like a rubberband and pull your belly in together
I talked about this in more details in my smaller waist workout video, which I'll link up here
What else can you do apart from workouts and diet?
Get enough sleep
It will take your heart working eating and working out to the next level pork belly's at last
Studies show that people who sleep less than five hours per night tend to gain more weight in belly fat
Comparing to those who sleep seven hours or more per night your sleep will affect two specific hormones that help keep your energy steady
Control your appetite and your feelings of hunger if you fail to get enough sleep your hormones will increase your appetite and hunger
Causing you to eat more so having seven to eight hours
Quality sleep at night actually helps avoid emotional eating and cravings, which will help make your belly fat lost much easier
And that's pretty much it for this video
And it's getting darker here as you can see
