#5

Read the labels (even on diet food)

Even the foods that are supposed to be designed for dieters can be loaded with nasty chemicals and even far more calories than we need.  Always check the labels on the food and drinks you're about to have and again, make sure you know what a serving size is! Its crucial for losing stomach fat fast.

#6

Never skip breakfast

Skipping breakfast can actually be one of those things that cause stomach fat! If you don't eat after many hours of sleeping you body goes into 'starvation mode'. This is bad news for shedding belle fat because it slows down your metabolism in an effort to save energy and burn less calories.  In fact, a lot of dietitians advice that the best breakfast is a heavy one,

#7

Cut down or eliminate alcohol consumption

Because of the effects alcohol has on the liver, consuming alcoholic drinks slows down the body's natural fat burning process.  An occasional glass of red wine is probably the best option.  Not only is it low-carb, but it has some other health benefit as well.  The occasional cocktail won't undo all your hard work, but as with all things, moderation is key. Just make sure that you don't forget that alcohol is filled with empty calories and it severely depletes your energy reserves.

#8

Reduce your salt intake

Excessive consumption of salt makes the body retain water.  This makes the abdomen appear bloated.  We can get enough salt from our diet without adding it to our food.  Also, junk food contains a lot of salt and is best eliminated in order to lose excess fat.

#9

Make your own meals

Because even the foods that promise they're good for dieting are often packed with unhealthy preservatives, sometimes you just have to rely on yourself.  Although you might not be able to cook every mean yourself, do what you can.  Try making a fresh salad to take to lunch or make several meals in advance.  Meal planning also helps hold you accountable where you diet is concerned, plus you're far less tempted by those unhealthy impulse buys at the grocery store.  Choose fresh, natural ingredients whenever possible and go organic when you can.
