There are no real secrets to losing belly fat or fat from any other place on your body.  There are some basics that go to overall fitness and they will do the trick if you make them part of your lifestyle.

Drink a glass of water every hour.  Most people are dehydrated and don’t have sufficient water to  cleanse their bodies and wash away fat.

Eat salad, vegetables, and fruit.  High fiber and nutrients are what you are after.  Easy on the fruit.

Easy on breads and such.  Follow the rule to avoid “white” foods.  Flour, sugar, dairy, rice, and other white color foods.  These tend to have a high glycemic index and can spike your blood sugar.  This causes insulin to be released and this is your bodies signal to store fat.

Get proteins including eggs and lean meat.

Eat regular meals including breakfast.

Investigate new spices and herbs to season your food.  Amazingly many have health properties that you can’t imagine.  Use them to get away from salt if you can.  Cayenne pepper is a good one to start with.  Use it to season but also try it as a drink.  Ice water with lemon and a couple of shakes of cayenne pepper is an excellent cleansing drink.  You might also try a couple of shakes in a cup of hot water for a somewhat strange alternative to coffee.  Use Google and Wikipedia and type in the name of the spice you’d like to learn about.

Get a good whole body workout that lasts 20 minutes or more and which involves some weight or resistance band training and do it 3 or more times a week.

Walk several miles on days when you don’t do the workout.

The Anti-Aging Effects of Exercise

By Craig Ballantyne

Growth hormone is known as a “fountain of youth” in the anti-aging community because it helps build muscle and burn body fat. But research has shown that people who are overweight tend to have lower growth hormone levels.

Exercise is a proven way to boost those levels. However, most overweight individuals can’t do the 30 minutes of continuous exercise that it takes. So researchers from the University of Virginia wanted to see what would happen if they split their subjects’ workouts into shorter sessions.

The researchers had their subjects do either 30 minutes of continuous exercise or three 10-minute sessions, at the same intensity, spread out over the course of the day. Both groups achieved similar growth hormone levels, which led the researchers to conclude that the “split workout” would work just as well as continuous exercise.

These results aren’t just good news for obese folks who can’t handle 30 minutes of exercise at a time. They also offer relief to busy men and women who have a better chance of finding time for three short exercise sessions instead of one long one.

For maximum body-transformation results, I recommend one 10-minute session each of strength training, interval training, and bodyweight exercises. This will help you build muscle, burn fat, and improve your mobility.

[Ed. Note: Building muscle and burning fat doesn't have to take hours of work. Fitness expert Craig Ballantyne has put together a Turbulence Training program that can help you get fit in three 45-minute workouts a week.
