5 Proven Ways to Burn 2 Inches of Belly Fat in 8 Weeks Flat!
5 Proven ways to burn 2 inches of belly fat in 8 weeks flat!
The fat that builds up in your tummy takes a longer time to burn in comparison to fats that are stored in the other parts of the body.
Here are 5 effective ways to lose 2 inches of belly fat in just 8 weeks:
1. Go for a brisk walk: Brisk walking for 20 minutes every day can help you to lose 1 inch of belly fat in 4 weeks. Research reveals that going for a walk between 8am and noon is highly beneficial as working out in the morning light gives a boost to your metabolic processes, which enable your body to burn more fat.
2. Cook with coconut oil: Cooking with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil on a daily basis can help you to touch the 2 inches’ mark as well. It contains medium chain triglycerides (a type of fatty acids), which are absorbed directly by the blood stream and do not require bile for breaking them down, leading to faster digestion of fats. Plus, coconut oil doesn’t increase your cholesterol levels since its fat content is burned as energy rather than getting stored in your body and causing fat accumulation.
3. Eat 3 hours before sleep: Several studies highlight that having dinner very close to your sleeping hours can hamper your sleep quality and its fat-burning ability. It not only increases your body temperature, but also blood sugar and insulin levels, while reducing the production of melatonin (hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycle) and growth hormone. For this reason, it’s best to have the last meal of your day 3 hours before your bedtime so as to allow the stomach acids and enzymes to convert the food into energy.
4. Have more proteins: Several studies show that having a protein-rich diet can be highly effective in reducing belly fat. Consumption of protein can cut down food cravings by 60%, enhance metabolic rate by about 80-100 calories a day, and reduce daily calorie intake by about 441 fewer calories/ day. Both animal protein and plant protein have been found to be effective against belly fat. Try including low fat dairy products, fish, chicken, soybeans etc in your diet to shed extra inches from your tummy.
5. Include choline rich foods in your diet: Choline is a water-soluble nutrient that acts on those genes that are responsible for fat storage. It breaks down fat in the body and uses it as energy instead. This nutrient is found in abundance in eggs, seafoods collard green, and lean meats.
