Healthy Nature

Remember when you were in 20s and it seemed like you could drink beer all night, scarf down pizza, eat potato chips the next day, and then repeat that process for weekends on end, without gaining a single pound?

Those were the good old days, weren’t they?

But then you turned 30. Then 40, 50, and 60. And it seems like everything you eat goes to a part of your body that you don’t want.

Your thighs, hips, butt, neck, and belly seem to be the perfect haven for fat. You hear about all those fad diets and how they supposedly “burn unwanted belly fat” in just minutes a day. You know better than to trust what those ads say, but they start to sound tempting when you keep trying to burn belly fat without any success.

How Do You Burn Belly Fat?

Television commercials promise you a 6-pack of abs without requiring a single minute of exercise. And of course, you shouldn’t believe those for one second.

The truth is that burning belly fat is down and dirty hard work. Lots of sweat and perspiration. Doing hundreds of crunches daily won’t get rid of your abdominal fat. It will give you strong abs, but you’ll still have the layers of fat over the top still.

Instead, the key to a smaller belly is your favorite form of cardiovascular exercise:

• Walking
• Jogging
• Swimming
• Aerobics
• Biking
• Racquetball
• Tennis
• Basketball
• Anything else that keeps your heart rate high

You need to keep your heart rate high for at least 20 minutes for there to be an impact. 5 sessions of high cardio per week is the goal to shoot for. You should do at least 3 to stay healthy, with at least 5 being ideal.

Boost Your Metabolism By Working Out Other Major Muscle Groups

When you tone up the other major muscles in your body, that boosts your metabolism’s performance even farther beyond what it can normally do only with cardiovascular exercise. So, give your thighs, butt, back, chest, calves, biceps, hips, shoulders, and forearms a workout too.

Responsible Supplementation Can Boost Your Weight Loss

Now, despite what you may hear or be led to believe, there is no “magic pill” solution that you can take to lose 30 – 50 pounds of unwanted weight. Those things get sold to people who don’t want to do the hard work.

They take the supplement or use the special device for a while, get some results, but not the results they want. Then they stop doing it for some time. Then they forget. They get unhappy. Then they start again and buy a new device. It’s the same cycle repeating itself.

Which, if you think about it, is the perfect target for a company that sells “miracle” exercise devices that don’t really work. People believe they do, buy one, forget, and then buy another. What company wouldn’t like a good repeat customer like that?

The proper way to view weight and fat-burning supplements is as a part of an overall lifestyle change. They can absolutely boost the results you get.

Caralluma, for example, is a supplement that blocks an enzyme that helps your body create fat. Green tea, caffeine, carnitine, garcinia cambogia, vitamin D, calcium, protein, and omega-3-rich foods and supplements can all be a part of an overall health regimen that reduces your belly fat.
