How to Lose Belly Fat: Tip 1

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010 at 7:41 am

“Is it possible that I could reach my ideal weight and yet not get rid of my belly fat? I have lost a bunch of inches and 23 lbs to date yet I still have belly fat.

I will continue following all The Complete MindBody FX Lifestyle Program including the nutrition and fitness guidelines, but if there is anything else I could be doing to help myself, your guidance would be appreciated.   

One thing I am thinking about experimenting with is doing crunches during the TV commercial breaks, because even though I’ve been doing the program for just over 2 months now I know I haven’t been doing enough ab exercises.”

Win The Battle of Belly Fat

I wanted to answer the question I received from Marilyn as I know this is a question many people have. As far as your concern for still having belly fat – it really is a matter of each individual’s body. Fat loss is a process and as you stick consistently with the plan mapped out for you in The Complete MindBody FX Lifestyle Program, you will find that your body will shed the fat, we just cannot choose where that fat comes from.

It is not uncommon for the fat from our “problem areas” – for women….hips, thighs and belly….to be the last to go.

Do you want to know how to lose the belly fat that you’ve been carry around? This is a common problem for many, especially women! This question inspired me to create a series of posts on how to lose the belly fat. Over the next few weeks I will post a total of 10 strategies that will help you lose the belly fat!

Can you see your belly fat gone? Literally!

You have to believe it to see it. Are you still seeing yourself with that belly fat in your mind? Visualize yourself at your ideal weight. See yourself in a bikini, propped on the beach, without having that roll of flab hanging over your bottoms. We attract what we think about. The more you think about where you are (plagued with rolls) and less about where you want to be (a flat washboard of a specimen) the more likely those rolls are going to stay a reality. Visualization exercises can be a very effective step to moving you in the direction of a flatter, sexier tummy.

Here is a short visualization exercise that I take my clients through:
•    Close your eyes and take three deep breaths
•    Visualize yourself at a weight and a size that is perfect just for you
•    See yourself doing the things you will be doing at your ideal weight
•    Who is complimenting you, what are they saying?
•    What are you wearing?
•    What activities are you doing now that you didn’t do before and how does that make you feel?

Doing this short visualization exercise each day is extremely effective. Seeing this image in your mind will help you to take the action to become that image that you want to be and keep you focused on it until you get there!

Stay tuned for the next tip coming up in a couple of days!
