Lose Tummy Fat and Feel Great by Changing Lifestyle Habits

Losing your tummy fat requires you to look at some areas of your lifestyle that have become some very comfortable habits. Let's face it, we all can raise our hands in this classroom. The trouble is, changing habits are one of the most difficult things to change. And when it comes to eating habits you may have already tried this and it did not work. That makes it hard to get motivated. If you're like me maybe you tried to do too much too soon and gave up. There could be an easier way.

The answer could be to start by changing one habit. Look for the one eating habit you have fallen into that you know is not doing you any good. Start working on that. Do not worry about anything else. You do not have to make any grand plans to lose a certain amount of weight or to become super fit or the leanest person in town - simply zero in on the one eating habit you should do something about. It may have been annoying you for some time and you may have been putting it to the back of your mind, but it keeps coming back to nag you.

Donna's Story

Donna found she had to work longer hours and did not take the usual care with her diet. She ate whatever was easiest to prepare rather than what was good for her. She had fallen into the habit of drinking soft drinks at night. She knew the time had come for her to make a change. She looked for one eating habit she could change and decided to give up the soda. She said she felt better almost immediately and started to lose weight, even without doing exercise. She even felt lighter. This inspired her to find other ways to improve her diet and to do some research.

She discovered that by cutting back on carbohydrates and high-starch foods, as well as giving up the nightly can of drink, she would have less energy to burn and would burn fat instead. She felt so good she was inspired to do more. She started a regular exercise routine. She started walking, gradually extending the distance. Then she expanded her exercises to working on her abdominal muscles once a week and some resistance sessions from time to time.

All this started by giving up the one habit of drinking a can of soda every night. Changing that one eating habit has helped her lose stomach fat and become a healthier, happier person.
