If you want to melt away belly fat fast, you'll need to follow a few simple rules that will dramatically boost your progress. This will keep you motivated, allowing you to make even more progress and keeping you from falling off the wagon, and regaining any fat you lose.
1. Consistency
I know this seems really obvious but it's also really important. First, too many people get gung-ho when they start and right away they hit the gym six days a week, a couple of hours at a time. But they can't sustain it so they burn out and quit after a few weeks, only to try it all again in six months. It's a vicious cycle.
Yes, you need be consistent with your nutrition and workout program. But the key is that you are consistent with the RIGHT nutrition and workout program.
If you mindlessly follow the wrong diet or exercise program, being consistent isn't going to get you the fat burning, muscle building results you want.
So be consistent, but first make sure you have the right program in place.
2. The Right Nutrition Program
This goes along with what I mentioned in number one. You need a nutrition program that works, that you can stick with over the long haul. This means no crazy starvation diets, no eating cabbage soup all day every day, or any other such nonsense.
You can eat a healthy, balanced diet that tastes good, too!
3. Smart Training (not JUST training)
You NEED to exercise. You can't get quality results with nutrition alone. But, more importantly than exercising, you must exercise properly. What's the point of exercising if you're using a program that won't get results?
Or worse, a program that causes injury so you can't workout at all?
4. Rest
Rest is a crucial part of your health and fitness program if you want to get results. There are two parts to resting.
One, you need to get enough sleep. Chronic lack of adequate sleep will destroy any results you might get.
Two, your body needs to rest and recover from the workouts themselves. In order to burn calories, boost your metabolism, and build lean muscle, you need a lot less exercise than most people realize. The crucial aspect of training is quality work, not quantity.
And none of the work will matter if you don't get enough rest between workouts. This is the time your body recovers and repairs itself, overcompensating for the workout and coming back stronger and fitter.
If you become chronically over trained you'll start going backwards, feeling lethargic, not wanting to workout, getting weaker instead of stronger, losing hard earned muscle, etc.
5. Attitude
Your attitude truly is everything. Everything else on this list flows from your mindset. If you don't have the proper mindset, you'll never last anyway. Even if you do start a program and follow some great fitness tips, you won't stick with it long enough to see results.
Get your head right and your body will follow.
