Each year we grow older it gets tougher and tougher to keep belly fat under control.

Often it starts with love handles, and for a while, we can keep that under control but then we notice more weight being gained on the front, our belly begins to stick out and even hang over our pants or belt.

Now this doesn’t always mean changing our size in clothes, but that doesn’t matter since it is the look and health impact of having fat building on our belly that is the big negative.

So what can we do about it?

1. Sensible Foods (Not A Diet) – the first key is to understand that belly fat is not JUST caused by more calories or by the fat in the wrong foods, it is MORE to do with how foods (as well as other factors) with your blood sugar levels to stress your pancreas and further mess with your blood sugar which impacts insulin levels that impact how your body burns (or does not burn fat).

Avoiding processed foods, heavy carbs, sugars, and even whole grains while adding more meat, fish, vegetables, nuts and eggs can help to regulate blood sugar making your system more efficient at burning fat – without doing anything extra

2. Cleanse your system. Temporary food allergies, an overloaded liver, a stressed pancreas and lymphatic system, a swollen digestive tract are extremely common among people today…it doesn’t matter how much you exercise or diet, if your system is toxic, stressed or out of balance you will not burn fat efficiently – period! Read Attracting Greatness for tips on how to bring your system into total balance, this will work wonders for burning fat, improving energy and stamina and changing the results you get in your life.

3. Regular mix of aerobic and strength exercise.  Once you get your body back in balance, maintain a decent diet that helps your body STAY in balance, then you can begin to bring moderate exercise into your regime for fat burning.  I have found that 30-40 minutes of exercise that keeps your heart rate elevated does wonders for both reducing stress (which helps keep blood sugar levels stable) AND keeps your metabolism healthy.

In addition, you want to do some basic resistance training on leg, abs and upper body with especially focused attention on your core to keep your body efficiently burning fat throughout the day.

Use these 3 methods and you will burn more belly fat than by going on any radical diet, massive exercise regime or other intense methods.  This has worked for us and can work for you too.
