The Simplest Way to Lose Belly Fat

I'm going to talk about how to burn belly fat step-by-step. There's really three basic sections: the basics of what to do, things to add to speed up weight loss, and things to avoid to speed up weight loss. Okay, so let's talk about the basics first—and some of this might be just repetitive, but if you've never seen an article from me, this will be very helpful.

The Basics of What to Do

Two to three meals a day. Okay, you can start with three meals and then—we want to go to two. You don't want to graze all day because every time you eat, you spike this hormone that prevents weight loss called insulin. Okay, so eating in general will stimulate that, so we want minimum two meals a day or maximum three meals a day. So some people go to two, and I'll get more into that when we get into this next part right here, which is no snacking.

No snacking. So when you have six meals a day or five meals a day—and they're small and they're spread out—or you're snacking between meals, you're going to spike insulin. We don't want to do that. That's going to create a big problem for you. So removing the snacking is vital—very, very important. It's called intermittent fasting. Okay, now right here, I suggest you start with three meals and then do that for a while, get into ketosis or fat-burning, and then go to two meals. If you can do it—unless you can't do it because you're working out hard and you need three meals a day—I would say it's 50/50. If you're sedentary, you can get by with two meals a day, and you will lose some serious weight in your midsection. Insulin is the hormone that is responsible for the midsection weight. So: three meals, no snacking.

Protein: three to six ounces per meal. Based on your size, your stress level—you're gonna need a little more protein. You don't want to go too much because too much protein will stimulate insulin. Okay, three to six ounces per meal. Now, if you're not hungry for protein—let's say for dinner—then don't eat it. So, but this is kind of an average.

Seven cups of veggies. Why? Because we need to flush out all this fat that's going to be coming out to your liver. All the fat through the body has to go through the liver, and if you don't consume enough vegetables, you can end up with a fatty liver. Plus, vegetables give us the potassium we need. We need about forty-seven hundred milligrams—that's a lot! So that's about seven to ten cups. Very few people do that, but you want to consume the vegetables first and have a huge salad and then a small amount of protein.

No sugar. This is a given because sugar increases insulin. And also, I'm talking about the hidden sugars: the breads, pasta, cereal, crackers, biscuits, waffles, pancakes, muffins, alcohol. Okay, so we want to cut the sugar and refined carbs out.

Healthy fats. This is essential because when you consume fat at the end of the meal, that allows you to go to the next meal without being so hungry, craving, and starving that your blood sugar's crash. So this basically allows you to do three meals or two meals without being hungry, thereby not increasing insulin. Fat is one of the only things that does not increase insulin—it's neutral. So this is safe. If you're worried about calories, I put some links down below.

Okay, these are the basics.
