How To Lose Inches Off Your Waist

The waist is one of the most troublesome spots in terms of fat accumulation. The reason why it's so hard to lose inches off your waist is that this is a body part which is genetically more inclined to attract fat. The second reason is that it's a body part which doesn't get involved in most of the movements we do in our day to day activities which means that the waist muscles are naturally less toned.

Most people rely on targeted exercises to shave a few inches off their waist. However, this is the wrong course of action to take because it is very difficult, if not close to impossible, to spot reduce fat from a specific body part. The key to achieve fat loss in your waist area is to reduce your overall body fat percentage. With that reduction, you will also see an improvement in how your waist looks.

How can you reduce body fat?

The key is very simple: create a calorie deficit. This will force your body to go to its energy stores and to burn them. These include your fat cells. The first way to do this is to maintain a healthy diet: no more fast or fried food, avoid sugary beverages and candy. Stick to fruit and vegetables. Cut down on white carbs, cream, regular oil, and processed food. Eat more complex carbs, seeds, whole grain bread, olive oil, and nuts.

The second thing you need to do is to exercise regularly and do both cardio workouts to burn fat and to do strength exercises to increase muscle tissue and boost your metabolism. The more muscle tissue that you have, the faster your metabolism runs and the more calories it burns. This helps you to reduce your overall body fat and to lose inches off your waist.

Follow these tips and in 2 - 3 weeks, I'm sure you'll see true results.
