Belly fat — the Achilles heel for every weight watcher.
No matter how hard you try, the stubborn belly fat just won't go away. Even if it does, it takes the longest time. Despite this, there are chances of it paying a visit again.
Duh!
There is a scientific reason. The belly fat is a region surrounding the organs and is metabolically active. This is why it takes longer to shed than other body parts.
In the last 8 months of my fitness journey, I shredded 7 kgs (15 lbs) and dropped 3–4 inches off my waist.
Here’s how I went about it.
Nutrition
I am not going to ask you to stop eating junk. Nor am I going to ask you to stuff yourself with proteins.
You decide the best diet for yourself. Something you can sustain over time. Because your diet will be the biggest contributor to a flat belly. It will decide when and how fast you get there.
In my journey, I have never compromised on the food I wanted to eat.
I adopt a balanced diet, ensuring my daily recommended levels of micronutrients, especially proteins and carbs and macronutrients are met.
Once that is in place, I give myself the freedom to have pizzas and donuts, whenever I feel like it. It is in moderation and controlled serving sizes. (3 slices of a medium pizza once or twice a month)
