5 Belly Fat Loss Tips to Beat holiday weight gain

The holiday season is here again. How do you enjoy yourself without worrying about gaining weight?

Here are 5 belly fat loss tips to help you prevent holiday weight gain.

1) No liquid calories

If you want to lose belly fat, avoid all types of liquid calories.

Ditch the juices, sodas, alcohol, dessert coffees and sports drinks for water and green tea.

Eat whole foods as much as possible. Research studies have shown that liquid calories have high calorie density while providing lower satiety value. More calories can be ingested in a short period of time.

2) Eliminate fast food.

Avoid eating at fast food restaurants. Fast food is quickly and easily prepared from poor quality and cheap ingredients.

Fast food = poor food.

I don’t see how you can choose to eat healthily at fast food joints as they serve poor quality food. French fries, chicken, fish and hash browns are deep fried in industrial hydrogenated vegetable oil loaded with deadly trans fat. Now, trans fat does not only contribute to belly fat but also serious degenerative conditions in your body. You may notice the visible flab on your body but what you don’t see is how trans fat silently kills you by causing inflammation, clogging arteries, heart disease and various types of cancer.

Take time to plan, shop and prepare your meals. You become conscious of what you eat and the effects on your body. No one can look after your health except YOU. So, don’t leave it to the fast food joints to feed you.

Cleaning up your diet is the key to permanent belly fat loss and good health.

3) Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables.

Eat at least 5-10 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. If you aren’t doing that now, increase your intake gradually over 3-4 weeks. Choose organic if possible.

Besides eating “a lot” of them, you should eat a “wide variety” too. Each type of fruit or vegetable contains phytonutrients that maintain good health and prevent diseases. Hence, eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables (high fibre, low energy foods) does not only help you lose body fat but also has positive effects on overall health.

4) Eat almonds or walnuts.

Eat 1oz of almonds or walnuts per day. They are a good source of fiber, protein and monounsaturated fats. They help to curb hunger and are healthy alternative snacks to chips, cookies and chocolate bars.

Roasted nuts in oils may contain trans fats, so avoid them. Choose natural or dry roasted nuts instead.

5) Plan your workouts.

It is easy to skip workouts during the holidays as you expect to eat more and exercise less. You may find your schedule hectic as you run around buying gifts, visiting family, organizing parties, etc.

Adhering to your training and nutrition regime is not impossible but requires time management. Plan time for your workouts and meals as you would schedule any appointment. Then, stick with your schedule consistently.

Remember, “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail”.
