So today I want to give you guys 5 quick guidelines that you could use to start burning body fat and belly fat as soon as possible without having to torture yourself in the process. 

The very first extremely effective thing that you can do is limit the amount of high sugar foods that you eat sugar doesn't only taste good in the moment but it makes you crave more sugar in the future when you habitually eat things like cookies ice cream and cake you actually wind up decreasing the sensitivity of your palate which makes natural healthy sources of sugar like fruit taste much less sweet and satisfying there are also studies that show a direct link between having a high sugar intake and having higher levels of abdominal fat this due to the fact that sugar spikes insulin which is a fat storage hormone and it also decreases insulin sensitivity so this doesn't mean that you can never have any sweets you can reward yourself with something like ice cream at the end of the week but it shouldn't be a staple part of your diet throughout the week instead you should do your best to stick to fruit to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Next when you go shopping you're gonna want to stick to the outside perimeter of the grocery store and avoid the inner aisles for the most part so this includes your produce department your seafood meat eggs and some dairy this is because the inner aisles are usually where you'll find all the processed food that ends up raising your insulin levels increasing your daily calorie count and of course contributing to the storage of fat around your stomach however other than high sugar cereals chips and cookies there are some things in the inner.

Aisles like rice quinoa and nuts that can actually fill up your stomach and help you reduce your body fat so when you do go into the inner aisles you want to follow the next tip.

which is to pick mostly single ingredient foods these are foods that have a low calorie density which means that for the amount of space that they take up in your stomach they'll only add a relatively low amount of calories to your daily total a perfect example of this is comparing Oreos to something like broccoli just one Oreo will have 40 calories mostly in the form of sugar for the same amount of calories you can fill your stomach with a whole cup of broccoli now on top of that single ingredient foods require more calories to digest the Oreo will quickly and easily be broken down into simple sugar without much effort mean while the broccoli will need more energy to be broken down reducing the net amount of calories that you ultimately take in we can see this again and again when comparing many other foods such as white bread to brown rice.

For example

So generally a great rule of thumb is to stick to a whole unprocessed natural single ingredient foods that either have a short shelf-life are frozen or need to be boiled in order to eat them next you want to watch out for added sugar even in the outside perimeter of your grocery store you'll notice things that appear to be healthy like smoothies and juices when in reality they're only going to help you store body fat and not lose it that's because when you take a closer look at these foods and beverages that are marketed as healthy you'll see that they're full of a ton of ingredients to help preserve the products and especially full of added sugar to makethem more palatable if you want something like a natural smoothie you're much better off making it fresh on your own by simply throwing in some fruits vegetables and water into a blender not only is this nutritious but it'll actually help you drink more water throughout the day which is actually the next tip to drink more water now the majority of people trying to burn fat think that water can be used to enhance weight loss and fat loss so they try to drink tons of water throughout the day many of these same people will still continue heavily snacking throughout the day on high sugar fat foods like trail mix but they'll still make sure that they get there are 8 8 ounce glasses of water in for the day the truth is that there is no magical property of water that significantly enhances fat loss it will slightly speed up your metabolism but this will only save you around 50 calories per day and maybe closer to a hundred if you only drink cold water however sticking exclusively to only drinking water is a great tip for those of you that have juices and sodas throughout the day because this can save you from consuming literally hundreds of extra calories in the form of sugar water is also one of the healthiest beverages you can drink because it helps carry nutrients from the food that you eat throughout your body.
