Belly fat is a big problem for many people, not only aesthetically, but also because it has been identified as a causal factor in a range of illnesses including type 2 diabetes and heart disease. So, if you have it, it really is in your best interest to get rid of it, but how exactly do you do that? With science that’s how!
Here are some scientifically proven ways to banish that belly fat once and for all:
Avoid Added Sugar
Added sugar is seriously unhealthy. Because it is made up of 50 percent glucose and 50 percent fructose, the liver has a very hard time metabolizing it in any significant quantities. That means if you take too much in, it will be turned into fat, which accumulates in the belly and around the liver, almost immediately. If you have a sweet tooth and your belly is suffering, look for a natural alternative such as stevia or stick to fruit instead.
Kill it With Coolness
Did you know that you can actually kill your fat cells if you freeze them at a low enough temperature? Pretty cool, huh? This link liposuctionsydney.com explains exactly how it’s done and it’s worth looking into if you struggle with stubborn belly fat. There are few other things that can explode fat cells and have you looking slimmer in an hour!
Eat More Protein

Eating more protein is a great way to banish belly fat and keep it off long-term. Why? Because protein is a vital macronutrient which can cut cravings by as much as 60 percent, and according to studies, boost out metabolism by as many as 100 calories every day as well as cutting your intake by as many as 441 calories daily. If you switch some of your refined carbs with protein, you will reduce your risk of belly fat, lose weight and feel more satiated - what’s not to like?
Cut Carbs
Going carb-free, or eating far fewer carbs than you usually would allows you to lose lots of water weight which will help to flatten your stomach. Not only that, but research has shown that when you ditch carbs, your appetite shrinks too, and you can expect to lose 2-3 times more weight than people who still consume them.
There is also evidence to suggest that when you’re on a low-carb kick - check out this guide to low-carbing https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb - your body targets dangerous belly fat, using that first for fuel, thus helping you to flatten your stomach and lower your risk for a whole host of diseases at the same time. Brilliant!
Aerobic Exercise
It might not be the most exciting thing in the world, but aerobic exercise is one of the best things you can do to get rid of belly fat fast. A lot of people think that doing crunches or other abdominal exercises is the way to go, but studies have shown that spot-reducing of belly fat is not possible and you need to work the whole body to flatten the belly. Walking, running, swimming - anything that gets the heart rate up for prolonged periods is your route to a flatter belly, and a thinner else too for that matter!
Buh-Bye belly fat!
