in between, but you have to be a little careful with the fruits, because the sugar content is particularly high here.
Reduce belly fat: Tricks to speed up fat burning
Teas and Co.
There are plenty of drinks and teas that promise to speed up fat burning. In fact, some of them help. You should not buy expensive preparations, but simply take what you find in every supermarket.
Green tea not only has an invigorating effect but also stimulates the metabolism. This allows you to actively accelerate the burning of fat and also ensures that you always drink enough.
Ginger is also very helpful in burning fat. You can easily make your own ginger tea by slicing a piece of ginger, putting it on a grill skewer and brewing it with water. Important: Do not add sugar to your tea, otherwise you will ruin the effect. If you want a bit more taste, add lemon, cinnamon or vanilla, that's also slightly sweet, but doesn't raise your blood sugar.
Massages
If you want to burn fat, you can also stimulate the burning with a massage. In addition, these massages help to strengthen your connective tissue and thus shape your body beautifully. You'll look slimmer, even without losing weight.
You need oil for a belly massage. There are special massage oils, but a simple baby oil does it too. It is best to make sure that you have a surface that can get dirty, otherwise you may mess up your most beautiful bed linen. Spread some oil on the palms of your hands and massage the oil clockwise in circles on your stomach with light pressure.
Important: If you have organ diseases or are pregnant, you should not massage your stomach yourself.
Sauna courses
Sweating cleanses the pores and stimulates the metabolism. Regular sauna sessions therefore help you burn your fat faster and get a nice slim belly.
The best thing is to go to the sauna every one to two weeks and do about three courses, each with breaks in between. If you've never been to the sauna before, it's best to start slowly and only go to a not too hot sauna for 15 minutes. If you have difficulties with your circulation, you should stop immediately, lie down flat and wait until you feel better. Sauna courses are not for everyone, but if you tolerate them well, they will help you a lot to burn your fat.
By the way, sauna professionals take ice-cold baths between courses - this stimulates circulation and makes you fit for the day. And of course it also helps the metabolism.
Sun
Sunlight contains vitamin D, which our body urgently needs but cannot produce itself. It helps against depression, reduces stress and can also help to improve your metabolism. Besides, the warmth is good for your body. So whenever the opportunity arises, you should get out into the natural sunlight.
It is best to combine your trips with a little exercise, so that you have a double effect on fat burning. But lying in the sun also makes you feel more relaxed and less hungry. You are happier, more relaxed and have no reason to eat unhealthy food.
Compresses
Cling film can not only keep your salad crisp and fresh, it can also help shape your belly.
Wraps in the right places increase fat burning and help you get to your destination faster. You should rub an oil or cream on the belly and then wrap several layers of cling film tightly around it. Of course you shouldn't pinch your blood, but it shouldn't be easy to push something under the wrap either.
Leave the wrap on your body for about half an hour before carefully loosening it and cleaning the rest of the cream from your stomach. This tightens the connective tissue and successfully supports weight loss.
Accounting
Accounting is boring and you're not supposed to become an accountant here. But an important factor in fat burning is that you know how the fat is produced. You need to weigh yourself regularly, weigh your abdominal girth and control what you eat and when you move. And from these numbers you can then see where you need to improve your behaviour - and where it already is exactly as it should be.
In the next chapter, you'll receive a bonus 14-day promotion plan in which you learn and apply exactly this. In just two weeks you'll practice all the healthy behaviors you've learned so far in this book.
Reduce abdominal fat: Your 14 day challenge to the flat belly!
Before it starts
So that you do not only learn pure theory knowledge, but start directly well into your belly fat burning, you receive this 14-day action plan as a bonus. This will allow you to start changing your life step by step over the next two weeks. Each day has three components: You make yourself aware of your behaviour by keeping a record of it and reflecting on it in the evening with the help of questions, you add a healthy eating habit every day and keep it (or do a special task), and you bring some more movement into your life. In the first week you do this by slowly increasing your daily number of steps to 10,000, in the second by integrating activity into everyday life.
There are a few things you need to get started with the action plan right away. I'm sure you'll have them all at home:
- a booklet (in which you keep a record of the plan)
- a body balance
- a tape measure
- a pedometer (e.g. in a mobile phone)
- the determination to give you 14 days to improve your life.
When you have all this, you can start right away!
Day 1: Getting an overview first
Your first day only serves to give you an overview of where you stand. Get on the scales in the morning and note your weight. You'll do that every morning from now on.
Opinions differ as to whether one should really weigh oneself every day. The weight doesn't react directly to all changes in your behavior. Sometimes it goes up even though you've had a very healthy diet. Water loss can lead to weight loss, muscle building to increase because muscles are heavier than fat. Nevertheless, it helps you to get a feeling for your weight is within a certain range and you know when it is good and when it is not. And you can take countermeasures immediately, and not after a week.
Next, you measure your abdominal girth and write it down. Since you want to lose belly fat, this is your most important value. However, fluctuations can also occur here. If you build up muscles, they will initially lie under the abdominal fat and expand your abdominal girth. As soon as the fat is gone, however, the centimeters also melt. You only measure your abdominal girth three times in a fortnight.
Today you should eat all day as you have always done and move like this. You're supposed to see what your normal behavior looks like. The only difference is, you write down everything you eat. Even if you do sports, you write that down. And in the evening, you write down the number of steps you've taken.
Every night, you end up taking stock. Ask and answer the questions in your notebook:
- How many meals have you had?
