Spare tire.
Love handles.
The fat that encircles your waist that seems will never go away: belly fat.
How on earth can you get rid of that annoying ring around your belly? Stop stressing.
Sounds easy enough doesn't it? One of the hardest lessons you need to teach yourself is how to relax.
Many people carry weight around their belly because they worry too much and live a lifestyle that is full of stress.
A key factor in how to lose belly fat is learning how to relax.
Taking advantage of meditation techniques will help alleviate stress.
Figuring out your stress triggers and how you respond to them will also help.
Learning how to respond to your triggers in more positive or constructive manners will shed the fat in your belly in no time.
This has to be one of life's hardest lessons to learn.
One simple way to shift your thinking is to take a deep breath.
This has a twofold benefit.
One being you get ample oxygen into your lungs and two, you focus on your breathing instead of the thing that is causing you to stress.
Yoga is a great way to learn relaxation techniques and exercise your body at the same time.
Exercise will help burn up the excess tension in your body, create a strong healthy body and increase your energy.
With all these benefits and the added bonus of losing belly fat, why wouldn't you exercise? Of course you are what you eat too! If you fill your body with healthy meals and snacks the pounds will melt away.
Filling your diet with lean red meats, fruit and vegetables will fill you up more by eating less and they are often quick to prepare.
Dark green leafy vegetables, like baby leaf spinach, can be eaten as a meal when combined with skinless boneless chicken and some broccoli.
Top this off with olive oil instead of salad dressing and you have yourself a very filling and nutritious meal.
Crunches may not work.
Sit-ups may not work.
But a combination of the above techniques will help you to lose belly fat in no time.
