If interesting in learning how to lose belly fat fast, make sure to check out our Weight Loss Course: http://thehealthnerds.com/the-science-of-fast-weight-loss-course
Fast forward to today and how to lose belly fat fast is still one of the more commonly searched health and fitness topics of all time.
That’s why today I’m going to show you exactly how to lose that stubborn stomach fat and start carving that sexy stomach.
And it’s all backed by science.
There are 5 main causes to a pesky belly bulge.
#1. Overeating
Kind of obvious, here but it needs to be said.
The main culprit of belly fat is consuming too many calories leading to weight gain and stomach fat.
And the main way to lose the belly fat is reducing fat all across the entire body.
#2. Hormone Imbalances, Specifically Cortisol
High amounts of the stress hormone cortisol have been linked to higher abdominal fat distribution.
Other hormonal issues have also been linked with slow weight loss and difficulty for the body to properly uptake nutrients.
So it’s just as important to get your hormones in check as it is to make sure your diet is aligned.
#3. Bloating
Missed by a lot of health professionals, bloating certainly doesn’t help with belly fat.
This is usually caused by high sodium intake, excessive carbohydrate intake, and can even be a sign of food intolerance.
#4. Age
The older you get, the harder the process of losing belly fat will become.
You can get a flat stomach at any age, it will just take more effort when you are 50 than when you are 20.
#5. Alcohol Intake
Studies have shown that certain types of alcohol are directly correlated with stubborn belly fat.
And if your overall goal is to lose fat, cutting down on alcohol intake is a simple solution that really works.
Here’s how to lose belly fat, actually backed by science!!
1. Chow Down on fiber rich foods
Studies have shown there is a direct relation between fiber intake and reduction of belly fat
The type of fiber you want to focus on is viscous fiber.  These are the types of fibers that bind to water and slow down the digestion process.
It can be found in beans, vegetables, and whole fruits
2. Cut out the two S’s – Sugar and Salt
Sugar is turned into fructose in the body which gets stored as visceral fat.
There are also plenty of studies that show how sugar increases belly fat, causes cravings, and is ultimately TERRIBLE for the body.
Cut it out of your diet.
There’s also similar problem with salt.
The high salt intake in an average diet causes stored water weight and lots of belly bloat.
Reducing salt intake to between 1500mg and 2000mg per day will usually result in an immediate reduction in belly bloat.
3. Drink Green Tea or Coffee Before Workouts
Studies have shown that adding in caffeine before workouts
-Increases work output
-Helps burn more calories
-Shows a greater reduction in visceral fat
The best two healthy sources for caffeine are black coffee or green tea.
Drink 30 minutes before exercise for more gainz and less belly fat!
4. Add Apple Cider Vinegar into The Diet
Apple cider vinegar is uniquely effective for weight loss and eliminating stomach fat.
Its ability to regulate blood sugar and curb appetite is also awesome for overall health.
Studies have also shown that those who consume 1 -2 tablespoons daily have a significant decrease in visceral fat than those who do not (study).
You can watch our video about it here if you’d like…
5. Regulate your sleep patterns.
For every hour of sleep the body gets that is fewer than 8, the chances of visceral fat increase.
If you’re only getting in 6 hours a night, you’ll likely have a 22% increase in the gain of visceral fat (study).
There’s a reason lack of sleep is associated with cravings, high cortisol levels, poor skin, and other health issues.
Get 8 hours of high quality sleep every night.
6. Eat More of These Fats
A study done by Swedish scientists showed a strange result.
Those who ate lots of polyunsaturated fats lost more visceral fat, lost more weight, and gained more lean muscle than those that ate other fats (study).
Polyunsaturated fats can be found in fish, nuts, and seeds
How many times a year do you start a new diet? Weight loss doesn’t have to be stressful or complicated. All you have to do is build simple habits to see the weight come off.
Here are ten scientifically proven tips on how to achieve your dream body in almost no time.
TIMESTAMPS
Use blue plates 0:38
Be more optimistic 1:05
30 minutes of exercising is enough 1:35
Eat slowly, and eat alone 2:05
Avoid eating in front of your computer or TV 2:55
Don’t overheat your house 3:54
Reading food labels 4:35
Eat more yogurt and nuts 4:59
Add hot peppers and spices in your diet 6:06
Drink plenty of water 6:26
If you’re hungry, smell bananas 7:06
SUMMARY
– A study involving 3,000 volunteers who smelled these foods when they were hungry found that their appetites decreased. And the results were soon reflected on the scales.
– One recent study has shown that the color blue decreases appetite. So try some changes like decorating your table with a blue tablecloth, blue napkins, blue plates, and glasses.
– Every positive thought matters. The idea is to focus only on good thoughts and repeat your goals as if they were your mantra.
– A healthy diet plan does help you lose weight, but it’s critical to combine good nutrition with some physical exercise. Even low-risk activities, such as walking will be beneficial.
– When you’re eating out, always choose the smallest portion. Take your time to read the menu.
– According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, food ads, especially junk food ads, increase our appetite and make us overeat. Also, when we eat in front of our computers or TV, we don’t pay attention to our food. Therefore, we are not aware of how much we’ve eaten.
– According to research published in the journal Obesity Reviews, there’s a link between reduced exposure to seasonal cold and increases in obesity in the UK, US, and other developed countries.
– The Nutrition Facts food labels can be very useful in helping you make healthy choices and lose weight. A study published in the Journal of Consumer Affairs suggests that people who read food labels on a regular basis are more likely to lose weight, especially women between the ages of 37-50.
– According to research conducted at the Harvard School of Public Health, eating yogurt and nuts is more effective in the long run for weight loss than eating fruits and vegetables.
– Consuming chilies and other hot peppers also helps to make the pounds fly off since they accelerate your metabolism. Also, cayenne pepper reduces appetite and burns calories faster, according to research from Purdue University.
– You should stay well hydrated every day. Make it a habit of drinking a glass of water in the morning on an empty stomach and a glass of water before going to sleep.

How To Lose Weight Fast & Easy w/ NO EXERCISE.
PRECAUTIONS:
+ Green Tea can cause slight seizures, although he population that carries this rare symptom is rather less, it is still a duty to advise you on it. Before starting the Greentea/Oolong Tea abby diet, i prefer you have a cup or two and see if another amounts.
+ Green Tea can cause slight dizziness, feelings of vomiting, nausea, headache etc.. if you follow my steps exactly in the video you can very well avoid these symptoms easily. Do not take green tea for granted and drink more cups a day than I said, and do not have it on an empty stomach unless you have tried it once and had no reactions whatsoever (like me) in which cases when your in a rush to head off somewhere, those who can withstand it on an empty stomach, it is ok to do so, but do not do it everyday, and more than once in a day, even if you know you have or CAN handle it due to experience.
MOST ASKED QUESTION – Whats My Height, Age, and Weight.
Height:
161.5cm – 5ft 3inches – grew an inch after weight loss, was 5″2 all my life till 17.
Age:
May 05 1994 – Its 2014 – I Turned 20 this year :/ BYEBYE TEEN LIFE D:
Weight:
My weight Fluctuates every now and then, Mainly because I am a woman, and we do have weight fluctuations quite frequently, also my body *morph* type is prone to fluctuations.
Iam currently 60-63kgs, but mostly stay at 61 & 62. 63 being the highest in the middle of my monthly’s for the most.
HOW MANY CALORIES SHOULD YOU EAT?
I personally eat 1200 cals a day but thats for my height, This doesn’t apply to everyone as all women come in different shapes and sizes. What i can recommend is for you to find out your BMI and it will calculate everything for you depending on your height. Some people who saw my video got mistaken and assumed I’ve told all women to eat UNDER 1000 Cals, including men. In order to reduce the amount of assumptions i get and unnecessary notification that are rather unimportant as even me making a video falls of def ears to a few tempered humans, i thought of adding this into my description. Type into your “Google Toolbar” for a BMI calculator, and you shall be presented with one online. Also, notice how i said don’t starve yourself. If i would say that, it would be so incoherent to saying to eat under 1000 cals which literally is STARVING YOURSELF.
WHAT DID I SAY AT 11:20-11:25?
I said “SOUP” can fill you Up. (btw soups with creams are Fattening).
Foods That will help you see results in 2 weeks:
Lemon / Lime
Pineapples
Apples
Prunes (After or Before every meal {CAN ALSO BE USED FOR SNACKING).
GreenTea ( For 3 – 4 months [MORNING + LATE AFTERNOON + EVENING] half an hour after every meal.
Oolong Tea / Wulong Tea (After 3 – 4 months). half an hour after every meal.
Honey + Lemon + Hot Water (Before Sleeping).
TIPS & WARNINGS:
Green Tea & Oolong is best from either a traditional Chinese market/store or Walmart.
Do not add too much honey to your prior sleep drink because it can cause heartburn as normal honey does.
Do not Eat over 5 – 6 Prunes a day. It might cause irritation to your bowl movement.
Do not go overboard with Pineapples and Apples just because it helps burn fat. Everything should be eaten in healthy quantities. Fruits can cause uncomfortable bloating or a beautiful gassy BUM!!! hahahaha
Eat frozen yogurt instead of regular Ice cream.
Hope I haven’t missed out any important Tips or Additional Information.

The best way to lose 5 pounds of body fat is a question that I get almost every day. People want to know if burpees are the best exercise for getting the job done. Others want to know if battle ropes or even jump rope are better at burning calories and burning fat. While all of them are at the top of the list for the most calories burned on a minute per minute basis, they still are not the best way to lose five pounds of body fat the fastest.
In this video, I show you how you can never outtrain a bad diet. If you refuse to pay attention to the quality of your nutrition and the foods you put in your mouth you are never going to have the low levels of body fat that you desire long term. Sure, anyone can follow a short term diet that allows them to lose fat for a few weeks however if you can’t keep it up then you will never be satisfied with your body fat levels over the course of the year.
Mistakenly, people look to exercises as the best way to drop body fat. While you definitely need to train, achieving fat loss is and always will be better accomplished via the right nutrition plan. This goes back to the comment about never being able to outtrain a bad diet. You simply cannot make up enough calorie burn via exercise (even the most intense) to overcome bad food choices. For instance, our very own Jesse is a big sugar fanatic and a worshiper of gummy bears. Just 17 measly gummy bears has 150 calories. Even if Jesse were to do 10 minutes straight of high effort high intensity burpees, he would only burn 120 calories and he would lose that battle with a net calorie gain of 30.
Now Jesse, being a hardgainer, is not concerned at the moment with his body fat levels. He was the only one wiling to do the burpees while I talked during the video being the good sport that he is. If you are looking to burn 5 lbs of fat however, you need to be sure that you are paying attention to what really matters. Your nutrition will always be at the top of the priority list for getting that job done.
Now, does that mean that conditioning exercises like burpees, jump rope, battle ropes and split squat jumps don’t have a place in your workout program if you need to lose fat? Not at all. In fact, with a good nutrition approach in place these exercises become even more effective since they compliment the losses that you are already making because of your improved diet. Not just that, each of these exercises helps to improve your stamina, work capacity, endurance, power endurance and your heart.
If you are looking for a way to improve your nutrition and get it locked in almost effortlessly 365 days a year, then head to http://athleanx.com and get one of the ATHLEAN-X Training Systems that best fits your goals. If pure fat loss is at the top of your list then you should opt for Max Shred. If, like Jesse, muscle gain is your priority but you don’t want to gain fat in the process then look for the Max Size program.

2. Spinal Flexibility Exercise With a Foam Roller
Foam roller exercises can promote spinal flexibility.

• Next bring your elbows close with your hands supporting your head and neck throughout
• Move the foam roller up and down your spine by bending and extending your knees and hips
• Repeat these foam rolling exercises for a couple of minutes or as long as feels comfortable for your spine
3. Back Strengthening Exercises for a Straight Back
The back strengthening exercises demonstrated in this video strengthen help you stand tall by raising your chest forwards giving you an upright straight back appearance.
These back strength exercises are directed at:
• Lower and middle trapezius muscles
• Rhomboid muscles

• Your forehead stays in contact with the supporting surface throughout this exercise
Action
• Gently move both shoulders away from your ears to feel your shoulder blades move down and towards each other
• Raise both arms backwards above the ground
• Lower your arms back down to your starting position
• Repeat this exercise up to 10 times in a row progressing to 3 times daily
Progression Back Strength Exercise 2
Starting Position
• Start in the same prone position described above for Exercise 1
• Bend your shoulders and elbows to 90 degrees lying prone with your palms facing the ground.
Action

Action

Exercises to correct posture can take a number of months for a noticeable effect. Incorporate posture exercises into your regular exercise routine to maintain good upright posture and the appearance of having a straight back.
