Don't Eat Junk Food
- Junk food tends to have high sugar content and contains a lot of refined products, such as highly refined flours or potatoes. Refined flowers and potatoes are converted to sugars in the body and thus contribute more to belly fat than other nutrients.
Consume the Right Carbs
- Consuming the wrong kinds of carbohydrates adds dramatically to belly fat. Be careful not to consume too many refined carbohydrates like white flour, pasta, white rice or potatoes. Avoid products made with these items and focus on getting your carbs from fresh fruits and vegetables. Consuming whole grains in breads and pastas are better than consuming processed grains.
Reduce Late-Night Snacking
- Avoid late-night snacks. Late-night snacking is a problem because people usually go right to sleep after eating. Because there is no physical activity to burn off the energy from the body sugars created by the snack, fat tends to be made instead. That fat tends to gather around the waistline.
Reduce Alcohol Consumption
- Alcoholic beverages tend to be quickly converted to belly fat. If you drink alcoholic beverages frequently, reducing your consumption can have a dramatic affect on your amount of belly fat. Alcoholic beverages are liquid, so it is easier to consume excessive calories and sugars.
