Getting rid of belly fat seems like it should be easy, but if you’ve been struggling with the problem, you know it can be downright frustrating! The good news is that you don’t have to resign yourself to your bulging belly forever; there are some simple steps you can take to shed that extra fat and get your stomach back to where it belongs. Follow this guide on how to get rid of your belly fat once and for all and reclaim your waistline!

Eat Clean

Clean eating is critical to a lean stomach. If you eat processed or sugary foods, you’re probably storing more fat in your gut. Additionally, if you’re exercising intensely, it’s essential to ensure that your body is being fed enough calories (rather than being forced to break down muscle tissue for energy). Remember: no food is off-limits if it fits into your diet and helps achieve your goals—do everything in moderation.

Train with Intensity

The key to losing belly fat is increasing muscle mass, so you must focus on strength training (weightlifting) when you work out. By targeting muscle groups in your abdomen—like your obliques and rectus abdominis—you’ll be able to see results much more quickly than if you run or do a lot of aerobic exercises. Incorporate these exercises into your workout routine: lunges, planks, side planks, crunches, mountain climbers, burpees, and bridges.

Sleep for 8 Hours

This one is pretty straightforward. When you’re well-rested, it becomes easier to focus on your weight loss goals (and stick with them). Make sure you’re getting about 8 hours of shut-eye every night by setting the alarm for when you should go to bed and sticking to that schedule. There will be no excuses when you find yourself late for work in the morning because you couldn’t stay away from Facebook for another 30 minutes.

Use the Right Supplements

Although there are many weight loss supplements on today’s market, studies show that they’re no more effective than exercise when shedding excess fat. That doesn’t mean they don’t work at all—it just means you should use them to complement a proper diet and healthy lifestyle. Start with some essential vitamins such as Vitamin D3, Vitamin C, and fish oil. These have been shown to assist in losing weight.

Stay Hydrated

Staying hydrated is essential to shed unwanted belly fat. In addition to flushing out excess sodium, staying hydrated is one of our top strategies for preventing bloat. It also helps your body release excess gas as a byproduct of water excreted through your kidneys. Dehydration causes belly fat to inflate faster than anything else – which means it’s time to drink.

Use the Right Workout Gear

Comfort is essential when you’re working out, especially if you plan on working out for an extended period. Make sure your shoes fit correctly and aren’t causing undue pain. Choose comfortable workout clothes that breathe and help wick sweat away from your body, so you stay dry during a sweat session. If it’s hot outside, opt for clothes made with light material, so they don’t make you feel like you’re roasting inside a sauna while exercising.

Visualize Success

Before starting a belly fat-busting exercise program, give yourself some time to visualize your goals. Take out a piece of paper and draw yourself at your ideal weight. Spend some time imagining how you’ll look after dropping just 10 pounds or 20 pounds. Write down what it will be like to have a flat stomach or sculpted abs—really make it happen in your mind before you take action.
