EAT WHOLE FOODS Foods such as apples , broccoli , and almonds can satisfy the hunger for a longer period . Foods with fewer ingredients and are less processes are better solutions to achieving a fit and welltoned built and body .
DRINK GREEN TEA Drinking green tea can be a great way to satiate cravings and urges . Every time you feel an urge , simply replace the bad food with a green tea .
REDUCE YOUR STRESS LEVELS It would be worth
doing your own research into how you can become a more stress-free person . Stress is related to the hormone known as cortisol , which is responsible for the gain or the loss of weight . When the levels of this hormone increase due to stress , there is a higher tendency to gain weight . On the other hand , the decrease in the cortisol level will aid in losing weight . Thus , one should always maintain a stress-free life or better yet , manage its levels .
HITTING THE GYM This can be a difficult habit to initially master , but if you can push through the initial difficulty of going to the gym and persist for several months , it will become a habit that sticks with you for the rest of your life and becomes effortless .
SLEEP LIKE A BABY Sleep is very important . One should have enough rest for the body to function properly . A complete sleep is also related to the hormones leptin and ghrelin which is involved in controlling hunger . Leptin serves as the thermostat which tells the amount of fat present in the body . On the other hand , ghrelin is the hormone released when one is hungry .
LIMIT ALCOHOL
CONSUMPTION Alcohol is bad for the health because of the toxins that destroy the growth and repairs in the body . Studies show that alcohol can stop and hinder the ability of the body to burn fat .
GET MOTIVATED Losing fat isn ’ t an overnight process . It involves the effort to be able to achieve the desired body weight . Set the goals , know the purpose and stick with them . Generate an affirmation . Don ’ t push yourself too hard . Take your time . Cherish every pain as this will serve as motivations in achieving the goal , which is burning belly fats . Keep working .
