5 Easy Tips For Beginners To Shed Belly Fat:
1. Do not take drastic steps or make any major alteration to your diet. If you have been eating a lot of trans-fast in form of fries, fritters, pizza and patty, try cutting down on it right away. As far as the rest of your diet is concerned, if you have been consuming more calories than your body demands, try reducing small quantities from your regular meals. If you have been eating four rotis, you may bring it down to three. Do this over a gradual span of time. Let your body adapt to the changes. It is not a good idea to shock your system or starve. Starving may make you want to binge later.

2. Try not to linger around the table for too long. If you are done eating, take your plate and leave. If you sit on the table for too long, there are greater chances of you wanting to eat more even if you are not particularly eating.
3. There are so many apps and gadgets that you can use nowadays to keep a track of your calories, steps, and nutrient-intake. Employ as many as you can in your weight-loss journey. Get your friend and colleagues involved in your journey too.

4. Eating food in large plates tricks you into believing that you have eaten less since the food is scattered. Opt for smaller plates for a correct picture. Do not eat without real hunger.
5. Do not be too harsh on yourself. When you set goals for yourself, make sure you reward yourself from time to time too. After a week full of dieting, you do deserve that slice of cake. Incentives make you more motivated towards reaching your goal.
