Plan your meal to burn excess belly fat

With the fast-paced lifestyle and multi-tasking becoming a routine, dependability on packaged food and lack of exercise has almost become a norm. More and more people today are giving up on exercise, either due to lack of time or other reasons. While this may not affect everyone the same way, there are many who can see the difference pretty soon, especially around their waist.   Everyone wants to reduce fat from some or other part of the body. And the most common problem area is the tummy.

How to plan your meal to burn excess belly fat:

Try to plan every meal in advance. Buy the necessary ingredients, preferably fresh, or a day or two in advance and do your prep work beforehand. This will give you ample time to prepare, and you won’t have to worry about not having enough time to cook, thus resorting to snacking or ordering food. Understand the times of day when you feel most hungry. Never plan to deny yourself food at this particular time and attempt to “power through” the crave hour, because it won’t work in the longer run. Instead, make sure you have something healthy and filling ready for consumption during the time your hunger hits you the strongest.

While planning your meal, here are a few tips on how to make the best diet plan to reduce belly fat for yourself:

1. Always eat something healthy after you wake up and before you work out to start up your metabolism and keep it revving.

2. Make salads the main star of your meal, since they fill up your stomach and don’t have too many calories.

3. Go easy on the store-bought dressings or better still, skip it altogether. Whip up something yourself that is much healthier and tastier without any additives.

4. Drink lots of water throughout the day. This will prevent water retention and will help to flush out any toxins from your body.

5. Do not entirely skip carbs. Instead, try to eat a limited amount of carbs every day to keep your body’s need for carbohydrates in check. For instance, if you like roti cut it down to 1 roti instead of 2 or 3.

6. Always go light on dinner. Dinner is the time when your body starts to wind down for the day, so stay away from anything heavy. Plan a light meal for the night, like a clear soup, a piece of chicken with half a cup of salad, or maybe just a fruit or a glass of milk.

7.  Last but not the least, plan on getting enough sleep. Sleep early since you’re having a light dinner. Staying up late will make you feel hungry again and you’ll need to eat.
