Want to reduce excess belly fat? Follow these easy hacks!

The fat in the abdominal region is one of the hardest to get rid of. No matter how hard you exercise and how much you restrict your daily diet, the belly fat just does not seem to depart.

However, our busy lives can stop us from taking extreme measures and adapting strict routines for the sake of our fitness. So we need a behavioural change that is easy to take up and has long term effects. So here are five easy hacks to lose the stubborn belly fat:

Carrots for the glow up

Food items like carrots, cantaloupe and bell pepper are rich in Vitamin C as well as extremely low calorie. Studies have also found that people who consumed bright coloured fruits and veggies had healthier and more sun-kissed complexion than those who did not.

Adopt an Eating Ritual

Sometimes we can also induce change by fooling our bodies. If we designate some days to be the feasting rituals, we can make the food seem more pleasurable, thereby slowing down the eating time and may help prevent overeating.

Drink More Water

This is like the gospel truth. We tend to chomp off when we are actually just thirsty. Studies suggest that people respond to thirst over 60 per cent of the time by eating instead of drinking. Even without that, drinking water before meals or whenever you start feeling the urge of snacking can drastically reduce the calorie intake.

Say no to added sugar

Added sugar might make things look more endearing and taste heavenly but a small change can lead to a healthier effect. Added sugar in foods can spike insulin levels in the body, which in turn signals the body to store fat. And we know the prefered region for storing fat is the abdominal area.

Ditch alcohol

Many alcoholic drinks are found to have effects on increase in belly fat. Even if you cannot stop drinking totally, reduce its consumption to prevent fat from getting stored around the waistline.
