 Fat Burning 3 Factors For Fat Loss

Burning belly fat is not as complicated as it seems. It is possible to burn stomach fat faster, but first we need to understand three basic factors that will determine how we can lose fat. Those factors are: quality of our food intake, increasing our energy expenditure and monitoring the frequency and decreasing stress in our lives.

To make our belly fat burn faster, we need to watch what we eat and how often we eat. We should increase our food intake to 5-6 meals throughout the day and make sure we eat a balance of foods rich in protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. We should avoid processed foods, sodas, cookies and fast food. When we control our food intake, we can better energize our bodies with better fuel and optimize our workouts to burn fat to flatten our stomachs.

Increase Your Physical Activity

Burning belly fat, our energy expenditure needs to be greater than our total food intake. So by increasing our physical activity, we promote building muscles used for that activity. For example: running will build the muscles of the legs. By increasing our muscle strength, we are also increasing our lean body mass, which also makes our bodies burn fat to help fuel the increased activities that we are doing.

Cut Down On The Stress

Our bodies have a way of surviving and maintaining energy supplies when they feel they are in danger. When we have high levels of stress, our bodies produce the Cortisol hormone, which stores fat in our stomach area. Stress causes the body to hold onto the fat, so that it can be used as an energy source for survival.

When our bodies are in a stressful situation, they react by releasing a hormone called Cortisol, which tells our bodies to preserve fat and prepare for an emergency situation. That fat is thereby stored in our stomach area.

Accumulated fat in the abdomen increases your risk of developing high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease and diabetes.

By managing our stress, we can help control our stress levels and thereby allow our bodies to burn the belly fat through eating right and increasing our metabolism through exercise.

Burning belly fat in the fastest way possible is not rocket science. All it takes is a commitment to make the necessary changes and step-by-step, our belly fat will be burnt away.
