Hey this isn’t advice for me but for my girlfriend. She is 18 and weights 180lbs and she wants to loose some weight but still keep her figure with the kinda big thighs but she wants to loose her belly fat and tone her arms. What would she need to do when it comes to exercise and diet and all that? Thanks for any help
Here is how to get rid of belly fat:
First you should know that it is not possible to spot reduce fat in just one part of your body, like your belly. In order to lose belly fat you will need to lose the fat all over your body.
In short you may need to start:
1) Eating healthier, this means:
Eat smaller meals
Eat more meals a day
Don’t starve yourself
Eat more vegetables and fruit
Drink more water
Less sugars and empty calories (less soft drinks, cakes, cookies)
Switch to whole wheat versions of your bread and pasta, brown rice instead of white rice
2) Exercising:
Forget crunches, crunches work your ab muscles but they don’t burn enough calories to eliminate belly fat, if you do hundreds of crunches daily you will have great abs but you won’t see them under your belly fat.
I prefer full body exercises they burn the most calories and increase you metabolism for a few hours after your workout.
Get a training partner or if you have a lot of weight to lose consider a fitness trainer, a very worthwhile investment – of the money you save on junk food for example =)
Try also to reduce stress and get enough sleep. Both of these are related to weight gain and emotional eating.
