#1. Avoid Foods That Cause Belly Fat

The best diet to lose belly fat involves phasing these foods out by filling your diet with the healthy ingredients in our “Top 10 Foods That Burn Belly Fat” section above.

#2. Eat Foods That Burn Belly Fat

When it comes to weight loss, your diet is more important that exercise… and for belly fat weight loss, exercise is pretty important so that’s saying a lot!

• Peppers – The hotter the better, hot peppers such as chili peppers, jalapenos, even cayenne powder help increase fat loss and stave off hunger. They also give you a healthy dose of metabolism boosting vitamin C!)
• Eggs – High in lean protein, eggs will help keep your cravings in check… so you will eat less and lose belly fat faster. Some studies have even shown that eating healthy proteins will actually help you lose belly fat.
• Beans – When it comes to foods to eat to lose belly fat, beans are nature’s gift to mankind. They have the perfect balance of carbs and protein and they keep you full for hours. Black beans, kidney, lentils, garbanzo, and cannellini are all good choices.
• Nuts and Seeds – Not only keep you full, the healthy protein can help you lose weight and even increase your metabolism.  Almonds, walnuts, macadamia, cashews, pistachio, chia seeds, and hemp seeds are good examples.
• Berries – Another metabolism boosting ingredient, berries are packed full of Vitamin C and fiber. Studies have shown that fiber helps raise your metabolism and helping you shed belly fat fast. Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, cranberries, and  are good choices.

·         Alcohol – Empty calories, extra carbs and loads of sugar… oh my! Looking to get rid of that beer belly? Then put down the beer friend! All those extra calories and carbs are not helping your efforts.

And if you’re a fan of the mixed drink, holy-moly the calories and sugar (real and fake) in those mixers are seriously hindering your weight loss efforts!

#3. Do Exercises That Help You Lose Belly Fat

Keep in mind that in order to lose belly fat, calories need to be burned as well. Try these recommended exercises to lose belly fat to really get that weight off fast.

Interval Exercise – Interval exercise is great for reducing belly fat, small bursts of hard core exercise peppered in with low intensity exercise will keep your body guessing, raise your heart rate burning more calories, and increase fat burning in a big way!

So, how do you practice interval exercise?

It’s easy, say you love walking outside in your neighborhood, keep up your routine just run for a full minute for every 10 minutes of exercise. Really give it your all and kick butt, then back to walking and so on. You can do this in all exercise, if you swim, up your game for a full minute every 10 minutes of exercise.

Just in case this is still vague: For the first 9 minutes exercise like normal, on minute 10 give it 90%-100% and really work hard, then back down to normal exercise for the next 9 minutes, and back up for one more minute before cool down and stretching.

Other Exercises – Ab exercises will also help reduce belly fat and help you keep that tummy tone as you lose the weight. We are a huge fan of core and ab exercises here at Lose Weight by Eating, and consider them the best exercise to lose belly fat. Not only to they help you tone up fast, they also strengthen your back, fix your posture (which makes you look thinner!) and help you lose belly fat!

We also love yoga, hula-hooping (yep, great for the abs) and the good standby “Abs of Steel” videos, and trust me the outfits in the 1990’s video will increase the cardio aspect just from laughter alone! There are also a slew of videos online, find one you love and can stick to every few days and you’ll be toning as you shed the unwanted belly fat.

#4. Get More Sleep!

I will be the first to admit, I don’t get enough sleep every night, being a mom and a business woman I just don’t. Sometimes I don’t sleep because my mind is active, other times it’s because I’m stressed and more often than not it’s just my crazy schedule. But sleep is so important to get rid of belly fat and optimum health.

Try to get between 7-9 hours (yes I said 9… doesn’t that sound heavenly?!) of sleep each night, sure it won’t always happen, but try sweetie! Set a sleep schedule, go to bed at the same time and wake at the same time, after awhile your body will get it and will take over… you know what I’m talking about.

#5. Avoid Stress

When humans get stressed, their bodies create a hormone called Cortisol. It’s essential for survival because it helps your body to mount a stress response.

Unfortunately, it can cause weight gain when produced in excess, especially in the abdominal region.

This goes for both men and women, but women tend to hold onto more stress and therefore it affects weight loss more negatively (men, you can read this part… we won’t laugh it’s a valid concern in your lives too!).

Stress and lack of sleep go hand in hand, try to clear your mind after a long day with a hot bath, a good book or try a little yoga and meditation.

#6. Don’t skip meals!

Skipping even one meal can lower your ability to lose belly fat. I know you think by skipping a meal you are consuming fewer calories and therefore the weight should come off faster, but it will make weight loss that much harder. So stop skipping meals and just eat smarter.

Conclusion: Simply take a good hard look at your diet, make a few modifications you can stick with and get your body moving. Not sure where you stand on diet? Write down everything you eat this week, then compare it to the list above and see where you could have made better choices. Don’t beat yourself up though, learning how to lose stomach fat fast is a process. Simply find areas to improve and work on them next week.
