A belly fat diet will help you get a firm and flat belly. The goal of the diet is to burn fat in the waist area and properly adjust the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. A belly fat diet includes healthy eating and exercise.
Proper nutrition when dieting for the belly:
- Skip the salt.
- Avoid alcohol completely.
- Reduce your consumption of the following foods as much as possible: white bread, cakes, sweets.
- Try to eat small and often. Ideally 5 times a day, every 3-3.5 hours.
- Your diet should have enough oranges, lemon juice, and watercress.
- Eliminate coffee from your diet; it is better to replace it with green or white tea without sugar.
- Drink at least 1.5 liters of water (without gases) per day.
Sample diet menu for the belly:
- breakfast: soft-boiled egg, one dried piece of bread;
- second breakfast: a few apples or a few oranges;
- lunch: 250 grams of chicken breast without skin and fat or 200-250 grams of low-fat fish, vegetable salad;
- afternoon snack: a bowl of vegetable soup (or soup without meat);
- dinner: 200-250 grams of veal, grilled or in a dry frying pan, orange.
Abdominal exercises
In addition to dieting for the belly, you need to do a few simple exercises:
Sit comfortably on a chair, straighten your back, bring your knees together, press your feet to the floor. Lower your chin. Extend your arms forward. Exhale. Tighten your stomach and slowly lean forward. Try to touch the floor. Inhale, exhale, return to the starting position. Repeat at least 3 times. Increase the number of repetitions by 1 every day.
All those abdominal exercises that we performed during school physical education will also help greatly to make your stomach flat. We also recommend spinning the hoop.
