7 Rules That Help Us Get Rid of Belly Fat Easily, without Drastic Diets

To get rid of the belly we need to have three main meals a day, to give up sugar, alcohol, and food prepared in the traditional style, but also not to eat carbohydrates after 6 p.m. These are the recommendations of specialists, who say that diet plays an important role in melting the fat accumulated around the abdomen.

Nutritionists say that to get rid of a tummy tuck, we do not have to have a drastic weight loss regimen. "There is little food order in the rhythm of meals, in terms of the amount of food we put on the plate, but also in the way it is prepared," says Dr. Michaela, nutritionist.

She made a list of dietary rules that we should follow if we want to get rid of the unsightly belly.

Get used to having 3 main meals a day.

This rule will not only help you get rid of unsightly bellies but will also help you lose a few pounds. "The effort of digesting food and eating it every 4–5 hours helps the metabolism to burn more calories than when there is only one meal and that in the evening," says the nutritionist. According to her, a day when you "skipped" a meal is a day when you did not lose weight, and the calories that come after are assimilated faster and transported instantly in storage fat.

Remove "heavy" food from the daily menu.

This category includes traditionally cooked dishes that are high in fat and contain minced meat. These dishes include beef salad, sarmale, schnitzel, meatballs, cream sauces. "When you want to get rid of the fat around your belly, you should opt for dietary options: grill or oven, lean meat, tomato sauce, spices, and herbs," recommends Dr. Bilic.

Avoid high-calorie foods.

Products that have a high-calorie concentration in a small volume, such as sausages, cheese, margarine, sweets, and fast food, should be replaced with products that have a low caloric density and high volume. This includes lean meat, fish, milk, yogurt, fruits, and vegetables.

Resize portions and the number of dishes served at one meal.

"Because we are more and more sedentary, we have to give up the classic succession: appetizer, soup, main course, and dessert. Two dishes are enough, and the soup must be one of them. It will fill the stomach without a high-calorie intake and will ensure the feeling of satiety for a long time ", the nutritionist also said. The doctor says that to get rid of the belly, we need to reduce the amount of food on the plate by 30%.

Give up sugar completely.

This ingredient contains a lot of empty calories without a nutrient intake. "Due to the speed with which it is absorbed into the blood, it causes an increased secretion of insulin, a hormone that additionally stores fat in the abdomen," explained Dr. Michaela. Those who can't give up dessert can opt for a fruit salad.

Remove alcohol.

Beer is also on the list of forbidden foods when we want to get rid of the belly. "Most alcoholics have a weight loss from both the calories of alcohol - it contains 7 calories per gram - and the generous intake of fatty and salty foods that go well with alcohol," says the nutritionist. Alcohol can reduce the burning of stored fats and promotes the conversion of food calories into adipose tissue.

Do not eat carbohydrates after 6 p.m.

Bread, pasta, rice, fruit, potatoes, and polenta have nothing to look for on the dinner menu. Explication? After this hour, the body slows down its metabolism and can no longer consume carbohydrates, which automatically turn into fat. Thus, at the last meal of the day, it is advisable to eat the meat of any kind, including fish, and as many vegetables as possible. Carbohydrates can be included in the breakfast and lunch menu
