Belly fat is problematic and not just because you cannot fit into your favorite dress or pair of jeans comfortably. Belly fat is linked to diseases such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes, therefore reducing the fat around the abdominal area is worth the effort.
Cut out sugar
Eating and drinking food that is high in sugar is not good for us. Not only does it inhibit your metabolism but sugar can directly lead to the accumulation of fat on the belly. Pay particular attention to the high-sugar foods and drinks you are consuming, particularly sugar-sweetened sodas, sports drinks, and fruit juices. Read the labels carefully and make a conscientious effort to cut back on this sweet substance.

Increase protein
Protein is essential to your diet. It can help boost your metabolism and is particularly effective against the dreaded fat around your belly area. Aim to eat a healthy amount of meat, seafood, eggs, tofu and other high-protein sources such as broccoli, spinach, asparagus, blackberries, and nectarines.
Reduce the carbohydrates
Reducing the amount of carbs you consume, can bring about lots of benefits. Not only will you lose weight but you will lose weight faster. Low carbohydrate diets work to specifically reduce your belly fat as well as the fat around your organs and liver. When you lower your carbs, your body will start working harder to burn fats for fuel.
Eat fiber-rich foods
Increasing fiber – both soluble and viscous, can assist your weight loss and aid the reduction of belly fat. Eating fiber-rich food can reduce your appetite and ensure you are fuller for longer. Whole oats and plant foods such as vegetables and fruit are a healthy source of fiber. The reduction of fiber can also reduce the risk of disease and increase your metabolic health.
If you find that your belly fat does not shift when combining the above dietary changes with a healthy exercise program, then you may want to consider FIT Laser Lipo Circumference Reduction as an option. This safe and painless procedure liquidates fat from the hard to reach areas of the body and stimulates natural biological responses. The fat is then flushed out of your body entirely. Thanks to FIT Laser Lipo, a series of 6 x 40-minute treatments over two weeks and 6 x 80-minute treatments over six weeks can result in an average loss of 3.64 inches. FIT Laser Lipo is also effective on the waist and thighs. Contact your local FIT Medical Weight Loss office for more information.
