3 Ways To Get Rid Of Lower Belly Fat

Trying to lose fat from a specific body part is something many struggle with and yearn for. Efforts to eliminate fat from a specific area is called "spot reduction". While many would love to lose a few inches and drop kilos only from specific areas, unfortunately, it is next to impossible. The theory is the same when it comes to losing belly fat. It is next to impossible to lose belly fat without making an attempt to lose fat overall. How and where you lose fat first also depends on your body type and genetics. Here are a few things that aid in fat loss.

1. Reduce your calorie intake

Stored fat in your body will only be burned and used as fuel once your body runs out of the calories available to it after eating. Reducing your calorie intake and creating a calorie deficit is important in order to lose any fat. While starving yourself to reach there is not ideal, slowly lowering your calorie intake will ensure that you reach your goals eventually.

2. Increase protein intake

The easiest way to fill your body up without overeating is consuming enough protein. Foods rich in protein are the most satiating and filling; preventing you from overeating. Protein rich foods also have a thermic effect, thereby helping your body burn more calories in digestion than other foods. The thermic effect of food is the energy required for digestion, absorption, and disposal of ingested nutrients.

3. Burn more calories than you consume

Burning more calories than you consume is perhaps the most important step in trying to lose fat. Working out is a great way to do so. While reducing calorie intake helps, burning more than you consume is what really helps your body shed that extra fat.
