Top 6 Proven ways to Lose that Extra Belly Fat!

Hello lovelies,

Losing Belly fat is a constant struggle for almost everyone. The fat in the abdominal cavity causes the biggest health issues. Excess fat around the waistline should be gotten rid off and fast! It's never flattering to have your belly spill out of your clothes when you are not pregnant with child. It is infact considered a walldrobe malfunction for us fashion savvy folks.

You can measure your belly fat by measuring the circumference of your waist. Use a tape at home or at the tailors. Anything above 35 inches (88cm) in women and 40 inches (102cm) in men, is considered abnormal obesity.

If you've got little or plenty of belly fat, don't panic just yet,  EasyLivingDose will show you 6 kickass evidence-based ways to target and get rid of that extra belly fat. 

1. More Protein
Protein has been proved to reduce cravings by 60%, boost metabolism by 80 f 100 calories per day.  Protein is a very important macronutrient that helps you lose weight. It is proven that people who ate more and better protein had much less belly fat. Adding protein to your diet is the single most effective change you can do if you are serious about losing that extra belly fat.

2. Less or no sugar
Apart from saving yourself from other metabolic health diseases associated with excessive sugar intake, not eating added sugar is the quickest way to fight excessive belly fat. Sugar increases belly fat and liver fat which can lead to a lot of metabolic problems including insulin resistance.

3. Fiber is for fitness
Eating foods rich in fiber can help with weight loss especially viscous fiber. They are great breakfast meals.  Ensure to eat them organically.

4. Start aerobic exercises
Exercising guarantees you a long, healthy life and avoid diseases of any kind. Exercise is effective at reducing belly fat.  (Don't buy into the spot reduction trend, where you do a bunch of crunches every day targeting only your abdominal muscles. It won't drastically reduce belly fat).  Instead, add aerobic exercises (like walking, running,  swimming,  skipping etc) to your spot reduction exercises for a round effect and watch the belly fat disappear.

5. Watch what you eat, how much you eat, when you eat

You've heard this, one time too many but it's necessary for you to take this seriously if you really want to get rid of that extra fat on any part of your body. What you eat is important.  But not everyone know what they are eating. (Garri in the morning,  noon and night is a No-no! No matter how delicious the soup is, We recommend eating soup alone sometimes)
Don't overdo your diet by eating high protein or low carb and forgetting to measure and track the right amounts of nutrients you need in your diet. Create a balance between your proteins, carbs, and fats intake and vice versa.
Check out this calories calculator to track what you are eating.

6. Less Carbs

This may sound like a broken record but restricting carb on your diet is the quickest way to lose that extra pound.  When you CUT carb, your appetite goes down and you automatically lose weight. Consider dropping your carb intakes to 50 grams per day. This causes your body to undergo a ketosis,  by killing your appetite and making your body burn excessive fats and turn it into fuel.

There you have it.  Now go get rid of that extra fat and thank us later.
