I want to get a belly button piercing but I want to tone my stomach and loose stomach fat before I get it pierced.

Don’t eat late at night.

Eating late at night can cause you to store more fat in your waist and stomach. Stop eating 3 hours before you go to bed. If you need a snack, eat something healthy like a piece of fruit or a handful of nuts (unsalted).

Eat often, but in small portions. The less your body peaks and falls on the blood sugar scale, the less likely it will be to overeat and/or store unwanted fat. Ideally, cut calories, but don’t starve yourself. If you eat the right foods and eat often enough, you won’t find yourself eating huge portions and overeating in general.
Eat fats like fish oil, sunflower oil, flax seed oil. Also whole grains, legumes, and vegetables and limiting meats. Ease up on the salt and gassy foods that cause you to bloat.

Get out and move. After what you put in your mouth, what you do with your body will determine if you can flatten your belly. Get at least 30 minutes of cardio exercise every day, along with a properly executed abdominal workout. Train your body with strength training activities. Adding muscle tone will help you perform all daily activities as well.

You can also try these exercises:

Belly rolls strengthen your vertical abdominal muscles. Sit with your legs bent, with feet flat on the floor and arms straight in front of you. Exhale and roll back until your lower back touches the ground and stop for a moment. Inhale and roll back up. Repeat 15 times.

In the same position, exhale and roll back until your shoulder blades touch the ground and momentarily stop. Inhale and roll back up. Repeat 15 times.

Tummy curls work on your horizontal abdominal muscles. Lie on your back and bend your knees at an (almost) 90-degree angle to the floor with your feet raised slightly higher than your knees. Breathe out, lifting your butt and rolling back to your shoulder blades. Inhale and roll to your tailbone and stop. Try not to let your bottom touch the ground. Repeat 20 times.

Cross crunches are hard work but they’re miracle workers at cinching waists. You will need a liter bottle filled with water for this one. Lie on your back with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle with the floor. With your left hand cradling your head, hold the water bottle in your right hand. Lift your head and shoulders off the ground and reach across your body, so the bottle is outside your left knee. Pulse 20 times and then switch sides and repeat.

Tailbone lifts work your lower abdomen and can help reduce a belly pouch. Lay on your back, with your arms stretched straight over your head and legs fully extended and crossed in the air. While breathing out, lift your tailbone then slowly lower as you inhale. To get maximum effect from this, don’t let your bum just drop, you want to resist on the way down. Repeat 30 times.

This is a favorite of mine as inverted crunches work your lower back which improves posture and strength. Lie on your belly with your arms in front of you as though you are flying like Superman. Exhale, lifting your right arm and left leg as high as you can. As you inhale, lower slowly. Switch, lifting your left arm and right leg. Repeat 20 times. In the same position, lift both arms and legs twenty times.

Burn your belly fat by doing sit and reach exercise. Running and dancing early in the morning. Simple stretching and jumping when you wake up in the morning.

Hi, Am 19 years old, 5.11, in the last 8 months i have lost 7 kgs. I used to be 87 kgs and now am 80.
People tell me i look quite thin but still I got a lot of belly fat… How to loose belly fat and how long does it generally take?

You have to lose water somehow. You can’t deprive yourself of a lot of water or H2O, but the essential water intake depends on your regimen and/or your lifestyle. If you perspire a lot, you should drink more water. Vitamins and minerals come from food. Juice is a food.

You don’t lose the fat cells, they shrivel up. Burning fat? Where’s the smoke? A person can lose muscle, too. Muscle weighs more than fat. So make sure you are not losing muscle by a low-protein diet. Everybody has a certain amount of muscle, it is necessary. Bodybuilders are into body sculpting or they want to increase strength. Or they combine. But a person uses muscle by any ordinary daily activity

I eat a lot of soup. I am pretty old, and I like to read all the stuff that is in frozen foods. I don’t like to eat those meals, that much. It’s more important that you do not deprive myself of fluids and proteins. I drink those shakes now that are similar to Ensure. They don’t cost that much if you are only drinking one a day. The rest of the day you can do what you want.

Hide the remotes to all your electronics like the TV, the DVD player, the CD player. Maybe you worked all day or all night, but did you burn any energy?

I need to lose love handles and I would really love to get rid of them.
I jog as much as i can but i have problems with ankles and breathing, but i run and walk a lot either way. I always check calories and fat on my food so i don’t understand how i can still have big love handles?

To lose love handles you need to eat right and have a workout plan 5-6 days a week.u have to want it.

Try this you need to change your diet.

Eat six times a day, eat your 3 main meals needs to combine a lean protein such as chicken breast ground turkey turkey bacon egg whites also combine that with a complex carb such as a baked potato or sweet potato wild rice brown rice oatmeal or girts. also add fresh fruit and veggies to lunch and dinner. pick fruits low in sugar like pears and berries. if u get canned veggies get ones with low sodium. eat every 3-4 hrs keep your metabolism moving.

Also the most important part is WATER drink at least 64oz. no soda or juice. water will curve ur cravings.
u need to hit cardio 3-4 times a week running outside it great workout if u can hit a gym and cardio machine is great at least 30mins.

also add weight/strength training 3 times a week.u can Google free weight training guides anywhere. Its not hard to find things for free. also for those wanting sexy hot abs. a nice toned stomach comes from a body with low body fat. So if your overweight and u do a million crunches or any ab workout you r wasting your time!!! cant see the muscles under fat. low body fat equals=a nice flat toned stomach.

Plan your meals ahead of time.always have a healthy snack with u so u wont be tempted to eat fast food. also if u wait to late to eat u will get so hungry u will eat the world. make time to work out start out with 30 mins then increase.its ur body treat it right. Your diet alone can help lose weight but working out makes your body look good. shows muscles and tight skin which is sexy and beautiful. Stick with it your body will amaze you!!! Yo be healthy and look great u need both in your life.

How to lose stomach fat FAST Today?

Does biking for 30 mins a day (plus other cardio) help lose stomach fat fast and get me a flatter stomach!

I also want to lose weight all over, but focus on stomach and then legs.

Sit-ups!! on the 1st day do as many as you can. on the 2nd do 5 more than the day before. keep adding 5 to your sit-ups. what i like to do is put my feet under a couch or a chair, lay on my back with my knees bent, than sit up and almost touch the couch and lay back down. if you do theses than you will have a 6 pack in NO time!

Cardiovascular exercise is the only proven way to lose stomach fat. Problem is, there isn’t any way to lose stomach fat FAST. If you’ve found some surefire way, overwhelmingly it is going to be some kind of scam, most likely focusing on losing water weight – which you’ll gain back in days.

I know that this isn’t what you want to hear, but If you’re trying to lose stomach fat fast, then you’re going about it the wrong way. If you’re trying to do this fast, then you’re not going to develop the necessary habits, lifestyle, and ingrained attitude it takes to keep the pounds away. If you have unwanted weight now, most likely this is a result of some combination of inactivity and/or poor, unbalanced diet. I’m not trying to reprimand you, only pointing out what the culprit is 90-95% of the time. You need to develop the self-reserve and lifestyle changes it takes so that you do not slip back into the sedentary lifestyle that got you there in the first place. If you’re at a place you don’t like, then it’s most likely because those foods and/or sedentary lifestyle is easily accessible.

Getting back to your original question: Yes, Cardio, Cardio, Cardio. This is the key to melting the pounds away. But exercise is not a one-stop solution. You’ll also need to analyze what you are eating. Let me put this to you in bulletized form so that it is easier for reading:

* Begin cardiovascular exercise. This will be the key to losing unwanted weight. Try to do at least 30-45 minutes worth. Do this 3-5 times a week. Also, do more than one form of cardiovascular work. There’s several reasons for this: one is that you will get burned out doing only one form. If you do bicycling every day or other day, eventually you’ll lose inertia. But if you switch it up, say running one day, elliptical another, bicycling another, you’ll have more to look forward too and wont’ get bored with your routine. Secondly, If you do different exercises, you’ll target different areas / muscles of your body. Your body has an annoying habit of getting used to and developing resistances to things, including exercise. The follow through meaning on this is that what first burns many calories, eventually as you get better and more efficient at the exercise, you’ll burn less. So challenge your body by changing your routine.

* Do not neglect upper body / muscular workout as well. Lifting weights, push-ups, chin-ups, etc. Doing this will help tone and shape your body, as well as build muscle, which burns calories on there own. Keep in mind that doing correct push-ups and other such exercises will work on your core.

* Abdominal exercises. I use these in between my upper body exercises. Do these, but don’t get crazy with them. It is a misconception that by targeting your unsatisfactory areas with corresponding exercises will melt the weight away. IT WILL NOT. Instead, you’ll build a layer of muscle underneath the fat, which, while good, will do nothing to satisfy your needs. Use cardio work to burn the fat away, while use the abdominal exercises (Sit-ups, crunches, pilates, yoga, etc) to build as you go.

* Stay away from sweets, carbohydrates, and the like. Do some research and find out what foods to stay away from. I’m not a nutritionist, so I don’t know too much in this area. One note: Don’t STARVE yourself. Don’t skip meals, eat some 1500 calorie diet or something. If you do that, you’ll make your body think there’s a famine going on, and it will hold on to your fat as long as possible because it thinks starvation is imminent. Instead you need to eat normally, but healthily. This is a bit counter intuitive, but essential.

Recap: Do cardio, 30-45 mins, 3-5 days a week. Vary your workouts. Do upper body and abdominal exercises too, but focus on cardio more. Eat normal, nutritious meals. Keep an attitude of slow, but steady, lest you risk slipping back into self-defeating habits.
