If you’re looking for a way to lose your stomach fat over a period of time and therefore don’t want to ‘crash-diet’ it is definitely possible to take the sensible approach to the six steps of nutrition.

These nutritional steps are progressive and one leads easily to the next one. These steps facilitate a lifestyle change rather than a crash diet which never works for the long term, in fact they are culpable for your weight yo-yoing up and down. So to get you started on your stomach fat loss tips, read on…

Step 1 – This sounds a bit crazy but you must eat five or six meals a day. This spreads meals over the course of a day rather than just eating one or two large meals this prevents the body entering ‘famine mode’ and thus prevents fat storage.

Step 2 – Limit your intake of processed foods and sugars. This includes soft drinks, frozen prepared dinners, also the obvious no-nos like cookies and crisps or any candy.. You should also limit your intake of white flour foods and deli meats.

Step 3 – Eat more vegetables and fruit. They provide you with a load of minerals and vitamins, they’re going to bolster your health; they are not very calorie-dense, in fact a lot of vegetables are calorie negative so you’re going to be able to eat a large volume of food without taking onboard many calories.

Step 4 – Drink more water and cut out calorie-containing beverages. That sort of goes along with Step 2, with the sugar, but be sensible, you know those lattes and cappuchinos are loaded with sugar.

Even the new craze for ‘vitamin water’ should be avoided as these so called healthy drinks have on average 40gms of carbs on board, (it pays to read the labels)

Most people don’t understand that drinking high calorie sodas etc aren’t going to quell their hunger, so you’re not going to compensate and eat less food.

But by drinking a large glass of water before a meal, you’ll be part filling your stomach and get the feeling of being full when eating much more quickly.

Step 5 – Focus on consuming lean proteins throughout the day. Avoid deli meats, burgers and other processed meats. Replace these processed meats with fish. Even salmon, once thought of as a fish to avoid due to it’s fat content, but they actually include a great source of Omega3 fatty acids. Chicken, lean red meat, pork are lean proteins and can be digested as proteins at all mealtimes.

The significance of eating enough protein is that it’s going to provide you with the building blocks for muscle fibre, and it’s going tp help prevent the reduction and loss of lean body mass whilst you’re dieting. This is so important, as when you lose lean body mass your metabolism slows down and tou wont burn as much fat.

In addition, protein makes you feel fuller. Protein also has a greater thermic effect, that means it takes your body more energy to digest protein than it does to digest carbohydrates or fats.

Step 6 – Wholemeal pasta, rice, potatoes, oatmeal etc should be reserved for eating after exercise or for breakfast. These starch and carbohydrate foods, will then be utilised as fuel rather than fat storage..

This is due to insulin and how it works in the body. Insulin is released when our blood sugar goes up and needs to lower the volume of sugar in the blood it can transport the sugar to muscles or fat cells.

If your muscles aren’t acceptable to the sugar, ie they are in a relaxed state, the sugar is carried to the fat cells.

After your workouts, insulin comes up, but your muscle cells are more receptive to it. So when your blood sugar rises, insulin is released, but now insulin is transporting the blood sugar to your muscles and not your fat cells.

So that’s why you need to limit these starchy carbohydrates to a time when your body is going to feed your tired muscles not your fat cells.

When you bring these simple nutritional tactics into play and you will begin to lose your stomach fat over time.. Remember no more counting calories. Just follow these steps outlined above.
