Special flat stomach circuit: 5 exercises for a flat and toned stomach

 

Your dream of having a flat stomach can come true, provided you have the right cards in hand. Fitnext has selected for you 5 suitable exercises that will allow you to lose your love handles (to be combined with good food hygiene of course). To be sure to put the odds in your favor, our sports coaches have created a special flat stomach circuit from these exercises. It's your turn !

Your flat stomach circuit

Indispensable before training, warming up is a step that should not be neglected. As the name suggests, this step warms you up, that is, increases your body temperature and prepares your muscles for physical exertion. So start by warming up! The ideal: the jumping jack (vertical jump in place, legs and arms spread). It is very suitable for a beginner or for someone who returns to the sport after a while. We recommend that you do 6 times 30 seconds of jumping jacks. Give yourself 15 seconds of recovery between each sequence.

The exercises in the order of execution:

•Face sheathing or Break-Dance

•Squats

•Left / right oblique sheathing

•Alternating front lunges

•Pumps or knee pumps

•Burpees or half-burpees

Now that you are warmed up, you can start the flat stomach circuit. Follow the order of the list. Perform each exercise for 30 seconds, and allow yourself 15 seconds of rest between each exercise. It is important to alternate between intense efforts and recovery phases.

Repeat this circuit 3 to 5 times, (start with 3 times, gradually increase the repetitions of the circuit). Do not hesitate to take 1min30 between each lap of the circuit.

This type of training should be done 2-3 times a week.

The 5 flat stomach exercises in detail.

If you don't know how to execute a movement, don't panic, we will walk you through all the exercises.

1. Gainage and Break-dance for toning

For a flat stomach, you have to bet everything on the obliques and transverses. These are the muscles that allow you to pull in your stomach. And to make them work, nothing better than sheathing. Performing your core exercises well is not complicated, you just need to have the right instructions. Adopting the right posture is essential. To do this, put yourself in a plank position: resting on your tiptoes and elbows. Make sure your hips, shoulders, and head are aligned, and retrovert your pelvis by contracting your buttocks and abs.

Different core exercises are possible. You can continue with oblique sheathing, to the right and to the left.

If the basic core posture ends up feeling too easy and you want to add more difficulty, go for break-dancing. Same starting position as the core, once on the elbows, get up on the hands, then get back on the elbows and so on.

2.Squats for a flat stomach

Contrary to what you might think, the squat isn't just about building the buttocks. This is a complete strength training exercise, great for toning your stomach.

To do your squats properly, stand upright, spread your legs shoulder-width apart, arms straight. Your feet must remain heels on the ground and be on the same line (an asymmetry can lead to an imbalance in the lumbar region, back pain guaranteed!). Inhale, bend your legs, your thighs should be parallel to the ground, your knees should not go beyond the tips of your feet, then come back up by releasing your arms. Keep your back slightly arched, chest forward but without bending over. Your center of gravity must constantly be held back. Repeat this movement, slowing the descent slightly and accelerating the ascent.

It is obviously possible to strengthen your squat exercise, by ending it with a jump for example. The movement ultimately remains the same. Only change: the ascent is done with an effective impetus. These are called jump squats.

3. Front slits for stability

Like squats, this exercise is complete and works many muscles, including the abs, the key to a flat stomach. The advantage is that you will work the postural and stabilizer muscles: they will only improve your figure! Lunges are started while standing, legs shoulder-width apart. Be solid on your supports, put your hands at the top of the hips. The goal is to hold this position while keeping your upper body straight and sheathed. Kick your leg forward as if to take a big step. Make sure your heel stays on the ground. The knee of the other leg brushes against the ground. Change feet at each repetition.

4. Pumps for a toned silhouette

When you do push-ups, your whole body is energized. You work the abdominal strap, and especially the obliques and transverse muscles, the muscles that interest us most in achieving a flat stomach.

Doing a series of push-ups on the floor maybe scares you, or even seems impractical ... No stress, it is quite possible to tame this physical exercise. Start by resting your hands against a chair or a coffee table, the sequences will be easier to perform and you will no longer do your push-ups in a forbidding way. Gradually get closer to the ground, until you finally do your ground push-ups. There is also the alternative of knee pumps. With this technique, you unload part of your weight, the resistance will be less difficult but suddenly the abdominal strap a little less used. So switch gradually to traditional pumps.

Whatever type of push-up you choose, remember to stay aligned, your buttocks should not be too high or too low, but in line with your body. Make sure you go down enough, your chest should get as close to the ground as possible. Stay well sheathed at the abdominal level and do not arch your back.

5. The burpee: ideal for burning fat

You may not be familiar with this exercise, yet it is very effective. The burpee takes a lot of energy, but it boosts your stamina considerably. Repeated enough, it burns fat and strengthens your muscles. Are you seduced?

Start standing with your legs shoulder-width apart (as if you were going to do a squat). Bend your legs (the knees should not go beyond the toes) and bring your hands flat on the floor in front of you. Swing your feet back (you find yourself in the same position as for doing push-ups), you can possibly do a push-up before getting back on your feet with a push-up. You return to your starting position (squat position). Finish with a vertical jump, arms straight above your head. Chain repetitions.

To start off more smoothly, you can opt for the half-burpee. The starting position is the same as for the classic burpee. You then bring your hands back to the ground. What changes in this version: your hands don't leave the ground, you simply bring your feet closer to your hands, the heels stay on the ground, then you push them back still keeping your hands on the ground, and so on.

Obviously, for visible and lasting results, you will need to adopt a specific diet. You will also need to find a regular rhythm and vary the exercises of your flat stomach sessions. Personalized coaching can be the solution to achieve your goal faster and healthily.

Burn calories without exercising? It's entirely possible !

Playing sports is good for your health ... But what to do when you hate any physical exercise? Is it really necessary to exercise to lose a few extra pounds? Isn't it realistic to want to lose weight without sport?

While playing sports helps burn fat, it is not essential for weight loss. Losing weight without sport is quite possible. The trick is to know how to go about it.

In this article, I explain how to lose weight without sport through 11 surprising tips. Let's start: 

Tip no 1: Avoid sodas (sweet and light) and fruit juices

You probably don't think about it when you swallow your can of coke, but over time consuming sodas (especially diet sodas) and fruit juice has disastrous consequences for your health and weight.

If you don't mind, I'll start with fruit juices, which are much less healthy than we often think.

I only recommend fresh juices that preserve the fiber in fruits and vegetables.

Fiber slows down the passage of sugars into the blood and ensures a more stable blood sugar level.

The great danger of sugary drinks like sodas and fruit juices is that they are high in added sugars and very high in calories. Their consumption therefore increases the risk of obesity.

The American Heart Association (AHA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) recommend that you take no more than 10% of your daily calorie intake from sugar .

A 2016 study concludes that the health of hundreds of thousands of people could be improved if beverage makers reduced the amount of added sugar in popular sugary drinks by 40%.

Over a twenty-year period, a 40% reduction in added sugar in sodas could prevent 1 million new cases of overweight and 300,000 of type 2 diabetes .

A study from Harvard University shows that sugary drinks increase the risk of coronary heart disease (or coronary artery disease) significantly. Researchers found that participants who consumed the most soda were 20% more likely to have a heart attack.

You might think about fixing the problem by switching to diet and zero sodas. After all, they don't contain sugars and are calorie free! Bad idea.

It turns out that people who drink sugar-free drinks, such as diet coke or zero coke on a daily basis, are at increased risk of stroke and heart attack.

It is therefore better to drink water, coffee or green tea if you value your health. Your health will improve dramatically if you replace sugary drinks with these healthy drinks.

One of the easiest steps to lose weight fast is to cut out sodas (especially diet sodas) and fruit juices from your diet.

Eliminate sodas from your life and you will lose weight without exercising.

Tip # 2: Reduce Your (Refined) Carbohydrate Intake

Some people are more sensitive to carbohydrates than others.

Cutting back on carbohydrate intake for a week or two can work wonders on the scale.

Products rich in carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, rice, fruits, vegetables and milk cause water retention.

Carbohydrates are stored as an energy source in the muscles and the liver in the form of glycogen. Each gram of glycogen retains 3 g of water, so following a low-carb diet will allow you to lose a few pounds of fluid very quickly.

This is often seen in the first week of a diet that drastically limits carbohydrate intake. It is not yet a question of fat loss, but of a loss of water stored in the muscles and the liver.

To ensure that you eat a low-carb diet, it's important to stick to a food menu every day. To lose weight without sport, it is important not to exceed 50 g of carbohydrates per day.

Tip # 3: Skip a meal regularly (preferably breakfast)

Tip # 3 only works if you do it right.

Indeed, I do not recommend that you skip meals every day for an extended period.

This would lead to too great a calorie deficit, like draconian diets.

What I recommend is to skip breakfast 2-3 times a week, over a short period of time (eg, 4 weeks). You then eat only after 12 noon.

In theory, this should be able to make you lose at least 1 kg without exercising in just two weeks. This is a form of fasting, which I will discuss in more detail later in this article.

By the way, you don't have to worry about your body going into starvation mode if you skip a meal every now and then. The metabolism only slows down when one does not eat anything for more than 72 hours (3 days).

When one begins to eat normally after such a fasting period, calories are stored more quickly as fat. You will understand: this is not a good idea.

Tip # 4: Drink more water, tea and coffee

A good water balance is very important for health.

Drinking enough water helps keep the skin and digestive tract healthy.

Drinking more water also helps in weight loss. Water fills the stomach and reduces appetite. This is why it is advisable to drink two glasses of water before each meal. This will lead you to eat less.

A small study shows that people who drink two glasses of water before meals consume almost 600 calories less during the day than those who do not drink water before meals.

Researchers believe that drinking around 500ml of water is enough to stretch the stomach so that a full signal is sent to the brain.

However, water is drained quite quickly from the stomach when you are on an empty stomach. For this trick to be effective, it is therefore best to drink as much water as possible before or during meals.

In addition, not drinking enough can make you feel hungry faster. Thirst is sometimes confused with hunger.

If you are often hungry, it may help to drink two glasses of water to see if it is just thirst. Eating plenty of water-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables will also help you maintain a healthy water balance.

Coffee and tea

Coffee and tea provide many benefits, including helping to regulate appetite.

Research shows that coffee increases the release of the YY peptide (PYY-36). Produced in the intestine in response to food consumption, this hormone gives a feeling of fullness.

Surprisingly, decaffeinated coffee seems to be more effective in reducing appetite, lasting up to three hours after meals. Decaffeinated coffee is coffee from which 97% of the caffeine has been eliminated.

The consumption of green and black tea can also be an effective aid to lose weight without sport.

Green tea contains a lot of catechins , a natural antioxidant thought to be able to increase metabolism and stimulate the fat burning process.

Tea also helps cells in the body protect themselves from damage and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. These are enough reasons to drink a good cup of tea every day.

Tip # 5: Practice the young intermittent once a week

Intermittent fasting, or fasting , is an eating pattern made up of periods of fasting and eating windows.

There are several fasting methods that divide the day or week into periods of fasting and eating,

When you think about it, intermittent fasting isn't too strange. Everyone fasts naturally, especially during sleep. The human body is prepared not to eat for long periods of time.

Intermittent fasting involves slightly extending these fasting periods. You can, for example, skip breakfast and eat your first meal only in the afternoon.

Several studies have shown that intermittent fasting helps with weight loss and improves metabolic health. Intermittent fasting can lead to an increase in metabolism of up to 14%. In addition, insulin levels drop drastically during fasting. Too high insulin levels make weight loss almost impossible.

One study has shown that fasting increases the lifespan of rats. The average lifespan of the fasted rats was 83% longer than that of the control group.

Researchers believe this is also true for humans. The foods we eat every day alter DNA and contribute to aging. Smoking, alcohol consumption, and poor diet only add to the problem. By fasting occasionally, you limit DNA damage in your body.

In addition, fasting causes a dramatic increase in human growth hormone levels, up to 1,300% in women and 2,000% in men.

Human growth hormone is particularly involved in the development of muscle mass and promotes fat burning. Intermittent fasting is therefore an effective way to reduce your calorie intake and burn fat.

If you want to lose weight without sport, periodic fasting is one of the best ways to achieve this.

Tip # 6: Stop Alcohol

Losing weight without exercising does not happen by itself: there are things to do and others not to do.

Do you usually have a few drinks of alcohol on weekends? In this case, it may be a good idea to stop the alcohol for a while.

The key to weight loss is to burn more calories than you eat.

Drinking less alcohol will help you lower your calorie intake. Stopping alcohol (temporarily) also means better sleep, which is good for your health.

You don't need to quit alcohol immediately for the rest of your life. See what effect a single month without drinking has on your weight. There is a good chance that your scale will give you a lower number at the end of the month.

Alcohol makes you fat for several reasons:

> Beer, wine and sugary alcoholic drinks are very high in calories.

> Alcohol is the next most energy-dense food substance after fat. One gram of alcohol provides 7 calories, which is a lot.

> Alcohol stimulates the appetite for unhealthy foods (think fat-covered snacks late at night)

Excessive alcohol consumption is linked to weight gain. We also note that the regular consumption of beer can lead to weight gain.

If you are overweight and drink excessively (for women more than 7 drinks per week, and for men more than 14 drinks), consider stopping alcohol temporarily to see how your body responds.

Do you need help getting there? In this case, call your doctor or an addiction center near you.

Tip # 7: Use smaller plates

Some simple tips can help you lose weight without ever having to step foot in the gym.

One of these tips is surprisingly simple: use smaller plates at home.

Several studies have come to the conclusion that we eat less when we use smaller plates.

The idea seems logical: the smaller the plate, the less food you can put on it. But this trick only seems to work when people aren't aware of having a smaller plate.

Is your partner or a member of your family suffering from overweight? Replace your old plates with smaller ones without explaining the reason.

In the following video, I give you 7 smart psychological tips to lose weight:

Tip # 8: Switch to High Fiber Foods

Different foods can help you lose weight without exercising and to stay slim. I'm talking about foods that have a satiating effect and decrease appetite. Indeed, fat-burning foods do not exist.

High fiber foods

A high fiber intake stretches the stomach and causes the release of satiety hormones. Eating foods high in fiber reduces hunger and helps you ingest fewer calories. In addition, it promotes long term health. Fiber contains virtually no calories.

In the case of refined carbohydrates, the fiber is eliminated, so that the body digests it very quickly. This is the reason why you catch up with hunger very quickly when you eat refined carbohydrates. These do not provide a feeling of satiety.

Additionally, consuming refined carbohydrates can lead to a roller coaster ride in blood sugar. This leads to an increase in insulin. Insulin stimulates the absorption of glucose by the cells of the body.

That's why it's important to reduce your intake of refined carbohydrates and replace them with healthy, unprocessed foods such as vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains. These foods contain fiber which slows the absorption of carbohydrates.

These foods are rich in carbohydrates but also in fiber, and they help regulate hunger.

The important thing to know is that there are different types of fiber, and some fibers are more effective than others at preventing hunger. Different studies have concluded that soluble fibers  have a greater satiating power than insoluble fibers.

Many foods, such as flax seeds, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, oranges, and Brussels sprouts are great sources of soluble fiber.

Foods rich in fiber are your allies for losing weight without exercising.

Tip # 9: Make sure you sleep well

Getting enough sleep is just as important as eating well and getting enough exercise to lose weight.

Prolonged lack of sleep is associated with weight gain. People who lack sleep often weigh more than people who sleep well.

Just 6 hours of sleep a night for a week is enough to disrupt all kinds of biological processes in the body. Without forgetting that it is dangerous because the lack of sleep affects the hormones (ghrelin, leptin) which influence the regulation of appetite and weight.

A chronic sleep deficit is also associated with the production of cortisol. Your adrenal glands then start to secrete more cortisol.

Ghreline, known as the hunger hormone, signals your brain when it's time to eat. When you don't get enough sleep, your body makes more ghreline. Leptin, on the other hand, tells your brain that enough fat is being stored and that you have eaten enough.

If you don't get enough sleep, your leptin levels will drop and your body will go into energy saving mode. Losing weight is then practically impossible.

Lack of sleep also changes the way your brain works. The functions of the frontal lobe deteriorate. The frontal lobe is involved in decision making and self-control. This means that you are less able to make healthy choices and resist temptations.

In addition, it appears that the brain's reward centers are stimulated more by food when there is a sleep deficit.

In addition, the longer you are awake, the greater your chance of ingesting calories that you don't really need. Lack of sleep has been found to be one of the biggest risk factors for weight gain. It can become a vicious cycle. The less you sleep, the more weight you gain and the more weight you gain, the harder it is to sleep.

Getting good sleep can help you lose weight without exercising and maintain a healthy weight.

Tip # 10: Eliminate Mealtime Distractions

When you sit down to eat, is it to focus on your plate or do you take the opportunity to check your Facebook feed or watch your favorite series?

I am afraid this is the way many people eat. And how to blame them?

Watching a Netflix series with a plate on your knees has become a way to unwind after a hard day's work. Our society encourages us to eat this way.

We have become a productivity driven consumer society. The Multitasking has become part of our daily lives.

However, this is not very good for our health. While busy with all kinds of things during meals can save you time, eating distracted can increase your appetite, increase your calorie intake and make you gain weight. This is because when you eat distractedly, you are less aware of what you are putting in your mouth. In addition, we do not perceive the satiety signals as well.

Research has shown that people who eat distracted are more hungry than those who eat without distractions.

One study looked at 88 women who were asked to eat. One group was distracted by a computer game during the meal, while the other group had to eat in peace.

Distracted women felt less satiety and a greater desire to eat during the day than the group whose meals were spent in peace and quiet.

It is important to be aware of what you are eating rather than thoughtlessly eating. I encourage you to try to eat without distractions. Turn off the TV and move your smartphone away.

Rather than mindlessly eating, I want you to eat more slowly and pay attention to the taste of food and the sensations it makes in you. It might sound a little silly, but this method works incredibly well in preventing overeating.

To lose weight without sport, learn to eat consciously.

Tip # 11: Ban foods to avoid in your home

What do children do when they see other children eating sweets? Indeed, most of them start to whine for having it, too.

This behavior is not only seen in children: adults are also more likely to eat unhealthy foods at birthdays or parties.

It suddenly becomes much more difficult to maintain a healthy diet.

Everything is playing in our thoughts. When something is in your line of sight, you start to desire it. The availability of unhealthy food automatically affects your ability to make healthy choices.

When I give this advice, some people complain that their family members are preventing them from following it. If your partner or family members have the urge to eat unhealthy food, of course they have every right to. But then ask them to keep these foods out of sight.

Research has shown that you are more likely to eat unhealthy foods if they are readily available. So be reasonable and trick your brain into keeping unhealthy foods out of sight and out of reach.

To be sure that you lose weight without exercising, do not let bad foods in at home: out of sight, out of heart.

10 Every Day Tips To Lose Weight Easily - Weightlossvk

10 Every Day Tips To Lose Weight Easily

1.Eat spicy

When we eat spicy, we are forced to slow down, the time to let our taste buds rest for a few seconds. This promotes the feeling of satiety that we will have less quickly if we eat too quickly. 

2.Walk as much as possible

Do you live 10 minutes from the metro but still take the bus to get there? From tomorrow, get out 10 minutes early and walk !

3.Eat on a smaller plate

You will feel like the portions served are huge which will subconsciously create a feeling of fullness.

We sometimes have the annoying habit of skipping the "breakfast" step and yet it is one of the most important meals. Why ? To start the day on the right foot, but not only! Eating your breakfast will reduce your urge to snack. In addition, many studies have shown that eating a lot at the first meal of the day reduces weight gain.

strength to your muscles. As a result, it helps you develop your muscle mass as well. Typically, strength training requires you to lift weights to develop your muscles with the passage of time.

Just in case you need to hear this: you don't need to lose weight. Don't be happy. Don't fall in love. Don't get the job of your dreams. If you want to lose weight to be healthier? Awesome. Just be aware that body size is not the ultimate end in determining your health. Feeling good and taking care of your body is the goal - and it can look like a lot of different things.

But if you want to make healthy changes to your diet or want to lose fat, going on a diet can really help.

To get you started, nutritionist The Biggest Loser Cheryl Forberg, R.D., designed this seven-day weight loss diet, which is similar to one that helps competitors lose weight. With this easy to follow plan, you are sure to feel refreshed and lose weight (if you want to!) In no time. (Want a longer plan? Try the 30-day clean eating challenge.)

7-day diet plan for weight loss

It is not a deprivation diet: you will eat three meals and two snacks a day, plus each dish contains a filling balance of 45 percent carbohydrates, 30 percent protein, and 25 percent healthy fats. (More on this here: Everything you need to know about counting your macros) When it comes to beverages, Forberg recommends sticking to low-calorie or low-calorie choices like coffee, tea and water.

And to accelerate weight loss and build a strong, healthy body, The Biggest Loser trainer Bob Harper suggests doing 60 to 90 minutes of moderate exercise four times a week. (Also read this: How to create your own workout routine for weight loss)

How to Lose the Killer Fat Around Your Tummy

When you are diagnosed with diabetes, the first bit of advice you get from your doctor is: lose weight. Fact is... most diabetics carry too much belly fat.

You have two kinds of fat around your waist... subcutaneous fat and visceral fat.

Subcutaneous fat is fat that is located under the skin. It is visible fat and is usually soft and squishy, the reason it is often referred to as 'love handles' when it is around your waist. If you are not overweight and lead an active life, this kind of fat is not dangerous even if your tummy protrudes a little bit. It only becomes a problem if you become seriously overweight.

Visceral fat is different. It is not so visible. This is because it is 'deep fat', ie lies within the abdominal wall where it surrounds organs and releases hormones (which is why it is also called 'active' fat). Too much of this fat can result in the release of excessive amounts of hormones... this causes inflammation, which puts you at risk of a variety of health problems.

In contrast to subcutaneous fat, visceral fat can make the stomach feel hard. Though it is not visible, as it grows visceral fat causes your tummy to expand. A hard, protruding stomach signals danger.

Why is visceral fat bad?

Many chronic health conditions are caused and/or made worse by this type of fat. These include heart disease, diabetes, some types of cancer, and back pain.

Heart disease... visceral fat cells release cytokines, chemical messengers that affect the actions of other cells such as, for example, those that control blood pressure, cholesterol and the regulation of insulin. As cytokines affect how organs function, having them floating around in your body is not a good thing. Elevated blood pressure and high cholesterol levels contribute to heart disease.

Visceral fat tends to affect men and women at different stages in their lives. Young women tend to gain subcutaneous fat on their hips and thighs while young men usually add visceral fat to their bellies. Thus men in their 30s are more likely to experience heart disease than women. Woman are more at risk of visceral fat later when they reach menopause.

Diabetes... persons who are overweight or obese are actually 90 times more likely to develop diabetes because belly fat affects how your organs work. Studies indicate that people with deep belly fat lose their sensitivity to insulin, the hormone that regulates our blood glucose levels.

If you have diabetes or are diabetic, you need to lose weight and reduce your visceral fat so that your blood sugar levels are normalised.

Cancers... cancer is caused by mutations in our cells. When we have excess visceral fat it signals our bodies to produce hormones that cause our cells to divide and multiply. The more often our cells divide, the greater the chances that one of them will mutate into a cancerous cell.

Thus more fat means more opportunities for cancer to develop. Indeed, the WHO states that up to one-third of all cancers of the colon, kidney and digestive tract are linked to being overweight.

Thus more fat means more opportunities for cancer to develop. Indeed, the WHO states that up to one-third of all cancers of the colon, kidney and digestive tract are linked to being overweight.

Back strain and pain... your core, ie your abdomen or centre of your body, needs to be strong if you are to have good balance and healthy joints, and protect yourself from injury. Having too much belly fat usually means that your abdominal muscles are weak due to the visceral fat surrounding your vital organs. When these core muscles are weak you back muscles have to take up the slack. As a result you are likely to strain you back and experience chronic backache.

What causes visceral fat?

There are plenty reasons why you put on fat around your waist... eating too much... growing older... family traits... alcohol... stress.

Excessive eating... when we ingest more calories than we use up in our daily activities, our bodies store the extra calories as fat. We all need to eat less.

Growing older... as we age we start to lose muscle mass and gain fat. This is normal but it means that if we don't learn to eat less we will put on weight, ie get fat.

Family traits... our genetics and family history plays a role in the type of fat we gain. If your parents had excessive visceral fat, the likelihood is that you will also have too much unless you take steps to stay slim and trim.

Alcohol... drinking to much intoxicating beverages (wine, beer or spirits) contributes to a build-up of 'beer belly' which is mainly visceral fat. But note that beer belly can be developed by drinking wine or spirits, not just beer.

Stress... continuous high levels of stress, of the sort we experience in modern life, causes a build-up of cortisol, the stress hormone, in our systems. Over time, this hormone leads to increasing amounts of fat around our tummies.

Who is most at risk of visceral fat?

Any one at any age who overeats (ie, eats more than they burn off in various activities) will develop tummy fat. However it does tend to increase with age, especially among women.

Those most at risk of developing excessive visceral fat are... white men... Afro-American women... Indian men and women from the subcontinent... people who drink sugary drinks... those who are already overweight or obese.

The good news is that visceral belly fat responds very well to diet... and all belly fat can be reduced significantly through exercise.

So, to trim down to a sleek tummy line, forget about pills, purgatories and herbal remedies, and ignore the miracle cures... you can get rid of belly fat naturally with nothing more than a healthy diet and plenty of exercise.

Reduce belly fat through diet

One of the best ways to reduce both kinds of belly fat... subcutaneous and visceral... is to create a calorie deficit, ie eat fewer calories than your body burns. All you need to be able to do is to make a rough calculation of the calories you eat each day and reduce that figure by at least 25%. It is not too hard to do, and it works.

At the same time you need to follow the Beating Diabetes diet. Here it is:

Eat natural foods that are low in sugar, low in fat, low in salt, and high in fibre, and have a low Glycemic Index. Your diet should consist mostly of plants and lean protein. Wash your food down with plenty of water.

Following this diet is pretty easy.

First get rid of sugary drinks and foods... no more sodas and no sugar in your tea and coffee, which have been linked in some studies to the development of visceral fat. You must also cut out cakes and sweets, indeed any food with added sugar.

If you crave sugar, fight the craving... it can be done. Eating lean protein from legumes and lean meats can help you feel full and reduce your cravings.

To reverse your diabetes and reduce visceral fat, you must eliminate as much fat as possible from your diet. You need to eliminate entirely trans-fats and saturated fats which are closely linked to the development of visceral fat. This means eating unprocessed foods, ie lean meats, avocados and other fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as beans and oatmeal which are full of soluble fibre.

To reduce your intake of salt simply stop using the salt shaker and avoid all processed foods as these are packed with salt, both to preserve them and give them favour. In fact, processed foods also usually contain copious amounts of sugar and fat in order to enhance flavours.

Foods that are high in fibre are wholemeal grains such as oatmeal, most vegetables and fruits. Getting plenty of fibre ensures smooth digestion (provided you drink plenty of water).

Eating wholemeal grains means you are avoiding simple carbohydrates such as white bread, other refined grains and sugary foods which are low in nutritional value but high in calories. These foods are high on the glycemic index which means they are digested rapidly which gives rise to spikes in blood glucose, the scourge of diabetics, and the rapid development of visceral fat. Wholemeal grains are digested slowly (ie, they have low GIs) and are much healthier.

Reduce belly fat with exercise

Research has shown that exercise plays a significant role in eliminating belly fat. A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology in October 2005 compared men who exercised with men who did not and discovered that exercise is crucial in reducing visceral fat.

The researchers found that a modest exercise program prevents significant increases in visceral fat, while more vigorous exercise results in significant reductions in visceral, subcutaneous, and total abdominal fat without any changes in the intake of calories.

However, undertaking exercises that target the stomach area, such as crunches and sit-ups, does not get rid of belly fat... even though they strengthen abdominal muscles.

There are several ways you can reduce tummy fat using exercises:

Get moving... just increasing your level of physical activity will burn more calories. If you have a sedentary occupation, get up from your desk and move around every hour or so. Parking away from your destination so you have to walk the final few yards and walking up the stairs instead of taking the lift can burn more calories and reduce you tummy.

Take up cardiovascular exercises... it gets the heart pumping and reduces visceral fat by burning up calories. But start slowly with walking or swimming before working up to running or skipping rope.

High intensity interval training... in which you alternate intense exercise with slower activities, burns abdominal fat and is ideal if you are not ready for sustained high intensity exercising. Start slowly by (say) walking for 5 minutes and then running for 1 minute.

Strength training... can help you lose weight because muscles burn more calories than fat. You need to practise regularly several days a week. As well as reducing belly fat, strength training can help you to control your diabetes and prevent other chronic illnesses such as osteoporosis.

Takeaway

Belly fat can give rise to serious health problems whether you are diabetic or not.

But you can get rid of it easily enough with diet and exercise...
