Losing excess body fat can achieve all of the following healthy benefits: physical health, boost in energy level and endurance, physical mobility, general mood and self-confidence.

Even losing 5-10 pounds may serve to fight crippling diseases related to the heart or other diseases such as diabetes and certain types of cancer. Let's get started to a healthier life, shall we!

Step #1 for Losing Belly Fat Safely

Making a firm commitment to not only lose excess pounds, but to keep them off permanently. If you return to your former eating mode after the restricted diet ends, you'll be at high risk to rapidly regain all that was lost, in addition to more pounds.

What you'll need to include in your healthy lifestyle plan:

A. Setting Fitness Goals.

How much do you need [not want] to lose? You can fortify this goal by setting a date for achievement. Base the number of days on losing 1-2 pounds per week - the safe rate of fat loss.

B. Dietary Changes.

Start by examining your current eating schedule and the foods and beverages contained therein. What positive changes can you make? It might be as simple as cutting snacks or sugary drinks from your day. It might be opting for reduced fat foods. Or it might be sticking to recommended serving sizes rather than going back for seconds, thirds or more.

You will also need to assure that you build your eating plan upon healthy food choices, those low in fat, sugar and sodium. Take note about the 'commitment'. These changes aren't temporary. These are changes that you'll need to live with for the rest of your life.

 


This doesn't mean that you can't ever enjoy another slice of cheesecake - or a chocolate chip cookie. It does mean that you're going to have to be sensible when making choices. If you consume more calories that your body is capable of using, then the excess is going to become restored in your fat cells. You'll start putting back on the lost weight.

C. You will need to devise a moderate exercise schedule.

This can be as aggressive as running or as non-aggressive as walking. Both of these activity work to burn off calories which may contribute to weight gain. Take note that you will need to 'work your way up' from the start.

If you plow through the gate running, you're apt to fall face-first into the raw earth. Your body may be soft due to all that sitting in front of the computer, game box or television - or from yapping on a smart phone, which isn't so smart in regards to health. Therefore, you will need to pace the body at a comfortable rate as you build up your endurance level.

D. Balance your exercise plan with relaxation.

Get involved in a favorite hobby. If you like to draw, play a musical instrument or sew - all of these activities can assist in keeping your focus on what you like to do rather than thinking about what you'd like to eat or drink.

E. We strongly recommend that you visit with your doctor.

They can provide support amid the process while ruling out conditions which may be triggering an increase in body weight.  Losing Weight
