You can incorporate these Belly Fat Reduction Tips
into your normal routine all at once or one at a time. If one works, try adding
another the following week or month. The key is to add them so they become a
lifestyle change, not a short-term “diet” or plan. Making these tips a daily
habit can improve your health and your waistline!
Balance
your hunger hormones
Eat
5–6 meals per day. Ghrelin is the hormone that, once
released, works to stimulate your appetite. Ghrelin also contributes to slowing
your metabolism and reducing the body’s ability to burn fat. Leptin is the
hormone that helps reduce your appetite and increase your metabolism. The
balance of leptin and ghrelin plays a very important role in fighting belly
bulge. The best way to keep a healthy balance of these hormones is to eat 5 or
6 small meals a day, as well as include high-quality proteins in your diet.
Replace
all potato based foods with whole grains
Besides packing a lot of calories, potatoes also
increase blood sugar levels almost immediately after consumption. Once those
sugar levels decrease, most people experience hunger and want to eat more.
Those extra calories in turn lead to weight gain. Replace potatoes with low-glycaemic
whole grains, vegetables, legumes and fruit.
Increase
your intake of High Linoleic Safflower Oil
HLA has been shown in a human clinical study to help
reduce belly fat by an average of 6.3 percent in 16 weeks. Researchers studied
overweight post-menopausal women with high blood sugar. HLA has been shown to help
increase adiponectin, a belly fat hormone that has been shown to help decrease
belly fat. It has also been shown to decrease fat storage because it helps
maintain healthy blood sugar levels and promotes insulin sensitivity. We
recommend getting around 7.5 grams of HLA per day.
Sleep
7-8 Hours Per Night
Your body needs rest so it can recharge. Sleep is essential
to health and survival. Insufficient sleep has been associated with changes in
hormone levels that may stimulate appetite. Getting enough sleep helps
contribute to a healthy balance of ghrelin and leptin, not to mention the
simple fact that fewer waking hours means fewer opportunities to eat! Sleep is
important to weight management and also necessary for optimal health.
