Smacked by reality, we start with countless pushups, often to no avail. The only way to get rid of this fat is to double down on our efforts to eat right and exercise for definition of abdominals.

Increased calorie burn out is possible only with change of habits.

A few advices on how to do it without exercise:

1. More fibre – it doesn’t do magic when it comes to burning fat, but it gives us a prolonged feeling of fullness (satiety). That’s why half of your plate should be veggies.
2. Drink green tea – research shows it is rich in antioxidants which help speed up fat burning process.
3. Hot tub relaxation – an hour of this burns 140 calories, as much as half an hour of brisk walking.

1. Sleep naked – this way your body burns fat, in order to keep your regular body temperature. Sleeping naked increases number of brown fat cells. Unlike regular white fat, which stores calories, brown fat cells burn energy and produce heat.

1. Spring cleaning – do you know that an intensive two hour home cleaning burns unbelievable 600 calories?

All in all, a permanent weight loss and fat burn is possible only by change of habits. All above mentioned speed up that process.

1. Avoid strict diets – They may produce the opposite effect. The name of the game is: moderation and variety
2. Think positive – Chance to succeed are diminished if you think only limits, barriers, prohibition, must not. Allow yourself to moderately indulge in ‘’forbidden fruits’’
3. Follow ‘’the rules’’ even when travel – when travelling, usually the last thing we think about is diet and control. That we end up stuffing ourselves with fast food and sweets. Upon return home, it is more difficult to return to normal. Try to keep up your good routine even when travelling:

Carry enough water with you

Prepare snacks – Fresh fruit, nuts, sandwich. That way avoid overeating and purchase of products you normally skip.

Sleep enough – when sleepy- more nibbles

1. Eat food as close as possible to it’s original shape – Choosing refined food, inevitable means more sugar, more fat, more salt. More nutrition is in original, unmodified food. Using natural products while cooking, we are in control of additives.
2. Listen to your body 
3. Find your own way – everyone is different and you need to learn your own specifics.
4. Be patient – improving health and losing weight take time. Be realistic about goals and timing.
5. Be aware of your abilities and trust yourself – it doesn’t take a Michelin star chef to prepare simple, healthy and tasty meal. Stock up on food easy to use: fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, cheese, lean meat, tuna cans and sardines. Keep it simple and healthy!
