You have been dieting, exercising, and losing weight, but still you cannot lose that belly fat.
Here is my Way #2 on Ways to loose belly fat.
For 3 or 5 days – Include more protein choices in your menu than heavy carbs to boost your metabolism.
Why? Protein will lower your insulin levels, helps you curb your appetite and boost your metabolism to use stored fat as fuel, burn more calories. This means that you will be burning belly fat. Fact is that consuming more carbs than protein have the risk of storing fat, if not using all calories during the day.
What do I mean? Simply, if you keep eating mostly carbs (bread, rice, pasta, candies, cakes) and low protein choices, at the end of the day you will be piling on empty calories which become stored fat … and guess where that fat usually goes? …. you got it! Usually goes to our BELLY, our MIDSECTION, BUTT, LEGS…
This is why this week you will set your body to burn stored belly fat by adjusting your weight loss menu. You dont have to go to extremes. During this week, you can have your carbs, but the KEY is to have 1 or 2 protein choices in every meal.
For example,
Breakfast
- 2 or 3 protein choices (eggs, *protein shake, yogurt, soya, milk, tofu, etc)
- Fresh fruits
- whole grain cereal rich in protein, such as GO LEAN (13 gr. of protein)
Snack
- 1 or 2 protein choices
- green tea
Lunch
- 1 protein (chicken, turkey)
- Fresh vegetables or steamed
- Fresh fruits
- 1 small potato, or brown rice
Snack
- 1 or 2 protein choices
- 1 fruit (you can have fresh mint with fruits)
- green tea
Dinner
- 1 or 2 protein choices, such as chicken without skin.
- Fresh green salad or mixed. Use lemon or apple cider vinegar for your dressing. Mix with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
- green tea
*Protein shake, will help you to boost your metabolism to get rid of stored fat, burning more calories. You will not jeopardize your health, but get all the appropriate nutrients.
Planning your menu in advance will help you keep track. Try to keep a daily weight loss journal to write what you eat. It will be easier for you. Drink your 8 glasses of water throughout the day.
