One of the hardest areas to target in the body is fat around the waist line. It’s the first to arrive in case of weight gain and last to go. Long story short - there is no magical cure to it. Getting rid of excess belly fat requires hardwork and the right combination of exercise and dietary choices.
In case you’re currently waging the battle of the bulge, here are few suggestions that you can include in your diet. Make sure to keep individual medical history in mind before making these changes.
Both lemon juice and honey in lukewarm water are perfect ingredients to target belly fat. They should ideally be consumed first thing in the morning. Consuming them in warm water would aid digestion and increase the rate of metabolism, a good combination for losing inches around the waistline. Honey also works as a healthy substitute for sugar.
Similarly, black coffee is a great beverage for targetting tummy-fat. For best results, have a cup of sugar-free black coffee right before a workout and watch the fat disappear from your body.
Sprinkling cinnamon in your coffee adds to the health quotient of the beverage. Additionally, turns out that your mother was right about the benefits of yoghurt. This dairy product is also great at aiding digestion. It’s often the victim of the myth that it should not be consumed in winters. On the contrary, at room temperature, yoghurt can be consumed even in cold weather.
Needless to say, it’s important to cut sugar, processed and deep fried foods, along with including exercise in your daily regime for dietary choices to work most efficiently.
