The Best Way to Lose Stomach Fat Fast

Summer's coming and many people want to get rid of their extra stomach fat as quickly as possible. No matter how fit you are, having an extra layer of ugly fat hanging off your hips and belly just doesn't look very good... especially when you're in a bikini or swimming shorts!

Most people, in their rush to reduce stomach fat, go to extremes by doing thousands of crunches, performing "marathon" aerobic exercise workouts, following crash diets, and/or taking one of the thousands of "fat burning" diet pills being sold all over the place.

Unfortunately, using these kinds of techniques is a recipe for fitness failure!

Sure, you may lose some weight using the above methods, but you're not going to lose much stomach fat and your body really isn't going to look (or feel!) very good in the end. Worse, there's a good chance you'll end up losing vital muscle tissue, slowing down your metabolism significantly, and possibly even damaging your health.

The best way to lose stomach fat fast is to combine 3 of the most effective techniques for burning calories, building muscle, and forcing your body to pump out those "power" hormones that can change the way your body looks very quickly. These techniques include:

1. Full-body strength training involving multi-joint exercises done in "supersets"
2. Interval cardio training
3. A high-protein, low "starchy" carb diet
   

These are the only techniques proven to boost the metabolism, burn fat, and change the composition of the body (fat-to-muscle ratio) in a relatively short amount of time. The combination of all 3, done on a consistent basis, is an almost surefire solution for getting that stubborn belly fat off of your body quickly!

By the way, although it's true that it's difficult to "spot reduce" and lose fat from one specific part of the body, there is evidence that interval training can burn off fat stored around the midsection faster than other forms of exercise. So forget about all the "ab" training and get going on a good interval-based cardio program!

To learn everything you need to know about eliminating your ugly belly fat for good, be sure to take a look at the Turbulence Training program. It is highly recommended!

Oatmeal: A Healthy Belly Fat Burning Food

Oatmeal is among the best when it comes to healthy carbohydrates and "quality" calories. Due to it's high fiber content and high levels of certain fat-burning antioxidants it can also be considered a "fat burning" food. If your goal is to lose belly fat you can't go wrong with eating a big bowl of oatmeal each morning. Personally I also usually add some to my protein shakes to increase fiber content and improve taste. Here's a great article with some tasty and healthy oatmeal recipes you can use to lose weight and get fitter...

Belly Fat Blasting Oatmeal Recipes That Are Fast And Delicious

by Heather Picken

One of my favorite fat-burning foods that will help women burn more fat, especially excess belly fat is oatmeal. That is why I wanted to share some of my quick and tasty recipes for those of you who don't have a lot of time but want to slim down and tone up.

If you incorporate oatmeal every day in your fat-burning menu you will start to notice your belly shrinking rather than eating a bagel, toast, or sugary cereal. Oatmeal also is a great source of fiber which we need in order for our bodies to run like clockwork.

The following recipes can be prepared by stove top or microwave use 1/2 cup of water when cooking.

Peanut butter Oatmeal
1/2 cup oatmeal (use quick or slow cooking oats without sugar)
1 tbl. of all natural peanut butter
microwave or cook on stove top stir in peanut butter

Pumpkin Oatmeal
1/2 cup oatmeal (use quick or slow cooking oats without sugar)
dash of cinnamon
dash of nutmeg
2 tablespoons of unsweetened pumpkin
1tbl of powdered non-fat milk

Egg Oatmeal
1/2 cup oatmeal (use quick or slow cooking oats without sugar)
dash of cinnamon
1 packet of splenda
mix in 4 egg white while cooking oats

Maple Nut Oatmeal
1/2 cup oatmeal (use quick or slow cooking oats without sugar)
Stir in syrup after cooking and top off with almonds
1 Tablespoon of no-sugar syrup
8 almonds

High Protein Oatmeal
1/2 cup oatmeal (use quick or slow cooking oats without sugar)
1-2 scoops of protein powder of your choice
after cooking stir in protein powder

Faux Cookie Dough Oatmeal (Yes that's right)
1/2 cup oatmeal (use quick or slow cooking oats without sugar)
Prepare this overnight or put in the freezer after cooking for about
30 min.
1 packet of splenda

This is a required taste but it tastes similar to cookie dough without the sugar and fat!
