How To Lose Belly Fat Fast - Tips To Quickly Flatten Your Stomach

If you know how to eat right and exercise, then you know how to lose belly fat fast.

I'm going to give you a mix of basic and advanced techniques to get fast results.

Before I give you the fat loss tips, the first thing you need to know is that your genetics will determine when your belly fat gets burned away.

For some people, their belly fat is the first thing to go when they start a fat loss program. For others it's the very last area.

It just depends. That's not something you can influence with specific exercises or a diet.

I'm going to give you some tips you can use to lose fat fast, but a combination of your genetics, determination and consistency will decide how fast and in what order you lose belly fat.

Fat loss rule #1 is...

Don't Miss Any Meals!

Without going into a full biological explanation, going long periods without food triggers reactions within your body that lead to fat storage.

If you want your body to release fat, you have to feed it.

Don't let 4 hours go by without eating something. You may get better results by eating every 3 to 3½ hours.

If you want to lose fat fast, you have to eat frequently and...

Eat Fat Loss Foods

Consistently eating the right types of foods can help you lose belly fat fast.

1. Stay away from foods loaded with fat, sodium, simple sugars and processed carbohydrates.

Knowing how to read food labels will help you a lot.

Foods like nuts, some fish and peanut butter are ok to eat even though they're high in fat. They’re full of "good" fats which won't make you gain fat – unless you eat too much of it.

Consume Fat Burning Meals

Your meals should combine a lean protein, complex carbohydrate, and a fibrous carbohydrate (with at least three of your meals).

Here are a few examples:

Sample Meal #1:
Oatmeal (complex carbohydrate)
Egg white omelet with one yolk (protein)

Sample Meal #2:
Brown rice (complex carb)
Skinless grilled chicken breast(protein)
Mixed green salad (fibrous carb)


Sample Snack:
1 serving of almonds (protein, good fats)
apple (natural simple carb)

Eat Less Carbohydrates

At your last two meals of the day, eat protein and vegetables with some essential fats.

Sample Snack
2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter and celery

Sample Meal
salmon with a large portion of steamed asparagus

If you're slim everywhere else but have stubborn belly fat, try dropping carbs from your last 3 meals.

Make sure you're eating at least 5 or 6 times if you try this.

Only use this method for 3 days in a row. Make the fourth day a "regular" carb day.

This will help your body stay efficient at burning carbs and prevent your energy and training intensity from dropping to very low levels.

Exercise 6 Days A Week

It's tricky to give an exact workout program because every body is different, but follow these guidelines...

Make your workouts 45 to 60 minutes long. Do 2 to 4 days of weight training and 4 to 5 days of cardio.

On weight training days, split up your workout time between weights and cardio.

On non weight training days, do at least 30 to 45 minutes of cardio.

There are some conflicting views on whether you should do weights or cardio first. I say try both ways and do what works for you.

If you want to lose belly fat fast, don't do any less than 6 days of exercise (assuming you have exercised in the past).

If there is a day you find yourself short on time, do an abbreviated workout but be sure to make it a tough one.

Do Full Body Exercises

Do mostly full body compound exercises because they work multiple muscle groups at once.

For one, this helps you build muscle faster. Muscle boosts your metabolism, so you’ll burn fat faster.

Two, you'll burn more calories during the workout and for hours after you're done.

Some examples of compound exercises are

• squats
• deadlifts
• lunges
• push ups
• bench presses
• rows
• upright rows

Thermogenic fat burners don't work for everyone, but they have been effective for some people.

Studies have shown that caffeine can help speed up your metabolism and ease fat release.

Follow some common sense rules if you decide to try a fat burner:

• know all the ingredients,
• read and follow the directions,
• take a small dose to test your tolerance,
• don’t take it every single day,
• don’t take more than the maximum dose.

Don’t use a thermogenic for more than 4 weeks without taking a 2 to 4 week break.

Now, you may have noticed I didn't include any ab exercises in my tips. There's a good reason - ab exercises don't make you lose your belly fat.

Give these tips a try for awhile, and I'm sure you'll be happy with the result.
