8 EASY ways to lose belly fat without going on a diet or blitzing it at the gym<\/h2>\n

1. Portion control<\/h3>\n

\"weight<\/p>\n

Portion<\/span>\u00a0control is one of the most important factors in weight loss, weight maintenance and weight gain, especially when you are trying to lose weight.<\/p>\n

If you eat just the right amount of food, you\u2019ll strike a balance and you\u2019ll be able to lose weight, especially lose belly fat.<\/p>\n

2. Chew your food slowly<\/h3>\n

\"stop<\/p>\n

Many of us tend to scoff our food when we\u2019re in a hurry or starving. But scientists have found surprising health benefits of chewing your food!<\/p>\n

When you swallow lots of air when you\u2019re eating, this can lead to that stuffed feeling and may cause your stomach to swell. Savour your food and chew slowly to prevent this. This can also help you eat smaller portions and help you lose belly fat.<\/p>\n

3. Drink lots of water<\/h3>\n

Fizzy soft drinks<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and sparkling\u00a0mineral waters can cause your tummy to puff out, due to those bubbles of carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n

Soft drinks have little nutritional value so try to wean yourself off them and opt for water or green tea as your main drink choices.<\/p>\n

What’s more, your body may actually be thirsty, not hungry and you’re mistaking the ‘water pangs’ for ‘hunger pangs’. This will also help to keep the bloating down and boost your metabolism which will help you lose belly fat.<\/p>\n

How much water should you drink? And tips to help you drink more!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Get enough sleep<\/h3>\n

If you’re struggling to lose weight, especially to lose belly fat, it might be time to look at your sleep patterns.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re sleep-deprived, we know you\u2019re potentially more emotionally fragile, so you\u2019re more likely to make impulsive food and drink choices.<\/p>\n

Many studies have found that insufficient sleep (be it poor sleep quality or short sleep duration) is related to significantly worse long-term health outcomes, including higher incidence and prevalence of diabetes, increased prevalence of obesity and cardiovascular disease, and poorer mental health outcomes.<\/p>\n

5. Keep stress levels down<\/h3>\n

Stress can also often lead to weight gain and men often tend to store more fat around their tummies when they are feeling stressed.<\/p>\n

One of the causes of obesity today is the lack of home-cooked freshly prepared meals. People believe they are too stressed to cook and do not have enough time. They opt for either take away meals that are convenient for time but not convenient for your waistline or your hip pocket.<\/p>\n

6. Work on your posture control<\/h3>\n

A poor posture can lead to weight creeping on around your tummy! Those with a good posture, whether they are working at a desk or walking may be helping to engage their stomach and abdominal muscles and tone their tummy.<\/p>\n

7. Eating better foods<\/h3>\n

Rich, fatty and salty\u00a0foods like fast food are never beneficial when losing weight. But even certain HEALTHY foods like apples, broccoli and beans are known to cause bloating so with these, it\u2019s best to have smaller\u00a0portions and eat them with other foods.<\/p>\n

But the good news is that there are certain foods that can help! Foods like bananas, avocados,\u00a0asparagus,\u00a0ginger and yoghurt with probiotics are great anti-bloat foods \u2013 though too much dairy can make it worse.<\/p>\n

8. Ditch the alcohol<\/h3>\n

Alcohol, especially sweet fizzy based drinks and beer make it nearly impossible to lose stomach fat and puts extra stress on your liver to clear out the toxins.<\/p>\n

This extra pressure on your liver can make it very hard to build muscle which is key when you want to lose belly fat.<\/p>\n
