Learning how to burn stomach fat can help you lose weight. When we have excess body fat, it decreases our metabolism, which is the key to causing heart disease, diabetes and other illnesses. The best way to eliminate abdominal fat is to exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet and do some cardio workouts such as aerobics. Burning of the visceral fat is the most difficult part of losing weight.
Obesity is a complex problem that involves many factors. One of these factors is testosterone levels. Testosterone is responsible for storing fat in our bodies and it is also responsible for stimulating the appetite. As men grow older their testosterone levels drop slightly but this does not stop them from gaining weight and becoming obese.
As men grow older their body fat increases but when they exercise they begin to lose this extra body fat, which leaves them with less muscle. So, instead of burning calories to create energy they rely on strength training to build more muscle. To burn calories even more the men are required to burn off more muscle which means they must consume more calories. Men who lift weights and eat a diet high in carbohydrates are likely to gain fat. The problem with strength training is they often use much more calories at one time then training with free weights.
To counter this problem some researchers have introduced testosterone into the body. Testosterone is said to increase energy, reduce fat and improve muscle strength. So it is claimed that by adding extra testosterone to the body you will burn off fat. This would explain why men are less likely to become obese if they lift weights. Unfortunately this research has not been proven and there is no concrete evidence that testosterone increases your metabolism or makes you burn more calories.
Another factor involved in the relationship between testosterone and obesity is our diet. If you are a man, your diet will affect your testosterone levels and consequently your body's desire to control your weight. A diet that is high in fat, carbohydrates and salt will increase your blood sugar and cause a rapid increase in insulin levels. High insulin levels will increase fat storage and make it easier to gain weight.
A diet rich in lean proteins, complex carbohydrates and unsaturated fats is said to be the key to a healthy diet and an effective fight against fat. A diet rich in foods like lean red meat, poultry, fish and green and yellow vegetables is said to help. It should be noted though that a healthy diet does not have to exclude any of these items. A healthy, clean eating program including these foods can actually help you lose weight and improve your health.
Many of the components of an effective diet for fighting abdominal fat can also help you lose weight and reduce your risk of heart disease. The combination of eating healthy foods, exercise and taking vitamins and minerals can actually help clean up your insulin resistance. This means that your body will be able to control the production of insulin and glucose, which have been the root cause of unhealthy fat deposits. The result is that your body burns energy more efficiently and you burn more fat.
Sugar substitutes such as sucrose, artificial sweeteners and aspartame have been found to have significant effects on blood sugar levels which can lead to excess body fat. This type of artificial sweetener is one of the most common ingredients in diet sodas and many people are unaware of how much of these calories they are consuming without knowing it. Studies have shown that even the residue of artificial sweeteners that are not taken into the human body can add up over time. To counter this you should include natural unsweetened foods as part of your daily diet.
