How Overweight Women Can Get Rid of Stomach Fat

It is important for women to get rid of stomach fat because this type of fat can increase the risk of serious diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers. Whether you have always had trouble with weight gathering around your waist or this is a problem that began as you grew older the way to get rid of it is the same, through the right diet and exercise strategies. If you are overweight and need to get the fat off then I encourage you to take a couple of minutes to read on.




Get rid of stomach fat



1. Give your metabolism a boost with strength training. This is not always what women want to hear but I would be leaving out an important tip if I did not include working out. The amount of muscle you have plays a big role in how well your metabolism burns fat. Men tend to carry more muscle and this is why they typically have faster metabolisms but anyone, male or female, can get rid of belly fat through strength training.



Add 3 sessions a week working with weights, bands or just the resistance of your body. You can complete the exercises in less then 30 minutes and don't shy away from exhausting the muscles with heavier weights, you want to push them so they grow.



2. Refined carbs can block fat burning. Refined carbohydrates break down almost as quick as you eat them and this causes a spike in your insulin levels, when this happens your body opens up it's ability to make fat and shuts down it's ability to burn fat. Go for whole grains and aim for carbs with at least 3 grams of fiber per serving.



3. Don't go low-fat. It can be hard to believe but your body needs good fats in your diet in order to burn body fat. Good fats that you should increase are olive oil, natural fats from nuts, avocados and fish oils (Omega-3 fatty acid supplements work well).



4. Cut stress. Easier said then done but this is a goal worth achieving because stress stimulate the release of cortisol a hormone that can increase your body's ability to make belly fat.



You can get rid of stomach fat when you get these tips working in your life.
