Kinds of Belly Fat and the Expectations of Losing Belly Fat

What Makes Belly Fat Troubled?

Having belly fat can be embarrassing to you when walking or doing anything in life. It also comes with its own related health challenges. You can use healthy foods to handle weight loss at an early stage.

So, from the previous article on belly fat, the question was posed: Why is excess belly fat so important and what does it have to do with all of these health risks? We gave reasons for this question such as; it damages your liver, it increases insulin resistance, and Type 2 diabetes.

There are two more reasons I’d like to share with you. Excess Belly Fat Greatly Increases the Risk of Heart Disease and Stroke. Because belly fat is so close to the liver (and often accompanied by excess fat directly surrounding the liver), it boosts the production of LDL cholesterol (the one we don’t want to be boosted!). This cholesterol eventually becomes a waxy substance known as plaque.

This plaque sticks to artery walls and eventually causes swelling, narrowing the arteries. This narrowing increases blood pressure, which seriously taxes the heart. It also increases your chance of blood clots, which can cause a stroke. Excess Belly Fat Increases the Risk of Dementia. Excess belly fat has even been linked to an increased risk of dementia.

In fact, excess belly fat increases your risk of developing dementia by as much as 145%! This is a result of the same inflammation in the artery walls, which decreases proper blood flow to the brain. With all of the serious health risks linked to belly fat, it’s easy to see that getting rid of excess belly fat should be a very high priority.

Fortunately, while we have lots of “scary” research that shows the risks of belly fat, we also have all the research that shows us how to get rid of belly fat quickly, easily, and permanently. There are actually two kinds of belly fat: subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. Subcutaneous means under the skin. This is the fat you can see and pinch since it’s just below the skin layer. Visceral fat is the fat that surrounds your vital organs.

In the case of abdominal fat, your liver is most commonly affected. Excess subcutaneous fat around the abdomen is usually accompanied by excess visceral fat around the liver. The good news is that both types of belly fat can be dealt with and done away with.

What are you to expect when dealing with belly fat?

1. You Will Lose Weight, but Also Specifically Lose Belly Fat.

Because most diets are designed to help you lose weight by cutting and/or burning calories, they result in weight loss that includes the loss of stored water and lean muscle tissue. If you’re able to stick to them for long, you may see a nice new number on the scale, but you still look flabby because you’ve lost muscle instead of stored fat.

But you do not have to rely on cutting calories to lose weight. You’ll probably take in fewer calories, although some people who have been on low-calorie diets will actually start taking in more. The key is in taking in the right calories from foods that actually help to speed up your metabolism, burn stored fat and utilize your food better to provide energy.

2. You Will Not be Counting Calories, Carbs, or Fat Grams.

There are two reasons for this. This plan does not rely on cutting calories to lose belly fat. The food list is designed to provide plenty of nutrition and satisfaction without empty calories, excess carbs, or unhealthy fats. As long as you stick to the food list and follow some simple guidelines, there’s no need to track everything you put in your mouth.

3. You Will Not Be Portioning or Weighing Anything.

One of the reasons that most diets fail, even diets that are based on solid science, is that they take too much time to follow correctly. People today are busy; our schedules are already overloaded and our time is already stretched too thinly. Diets that require you to keep journals, track exchanges, measure, portion, and take note of every morsel are a lot like having a second job.

No matter how good a diet is, if you don’t have time to follow it, it won’t work for you. Again, by sticking to the food list and following some simple guidelines, you will get plenty of food and plenty of nutrients, without getting too much fat or too many unhealthy carbs. There’s nothing to track, nothing to measure.

4. You Will Not Be Hungry All The Time.

One of the keys to losing belly fat is to eat as frequently as possible, even grazing all day long. Because of this, you won’t have to be left feeling hungry or have to suffer through cravings brought on by too little food or a lack of the right nutrients. It may take your body a week or two to get used to your new way of eating, so you may feel hungry frequently. However, when you are hungry, you’re supposed to eat! There’s no need to deal with a grumbling stomach until the next scheduled meal. Eat!

5. You Will Not Be Tired and Grumpy.

Frequent meals and snacks keep your blood sugar steady. Spikes in blood sugar are quickly followed by crashes in blood sugar. This is the cycle that occurs when you skip meals and then eat a large meal or get too hungry and grab a snack filled with sugar and simple carbs. This cycle will leave you feeling fatigued, foggy, and irritable. It gets even worse when you limit your diet’s good carbs and fats.

6. The Belly Fat Diet allows you to eat whenever you want but you’re also eating a diet rich in healthy carbs and fats, so you have a steady supply of energy without all those spikes and crashes.

7. You Will Probably Lose Weight Faster Than You Expect.

It used to be accepted as a fact that you should never lose more than two pounds per week. This is because most diets cut calories to lose weight. Losing more than two pounds per week meant that you were reducing your caloric intake to unhealthy levels.

Because this does not rely on this method, but rather helps your body to reset and maximize its fat-burning and fat-storing systems, you can safely lose more than two pounds per week. The old method of dieting actually caused your body to feed on itself by using its own muscle tissue as a source of protein and energy. With this plan, you’ll get plenty of calories, protein, and other nutrients. You’ll also be resetting your body’s fat-burning and fat-storage systems.

This means that the weight you lose will be stored fat, not lean muscle, so it’s perfectly safe for you to lose more than two pounds per week. Some people might lose between five and ten pounds in the first week. Do not be concerned that you’re losing too much too soon. This is a response to increased metabolism, the shedding of unneeded stored water, and targeting stored fat.

Weight loss often then levels out in the following weeks to an average of between three and five pounds per week. Not only will the lean muscle tissue you already have be safe, but you’ll also actually be adding more lean muscle to this plan.
