Facts You Should Know About Belly Fat

By Dr. Dennis Clark


Think back to the time you went on your first official diet. You may remember times when you became frustrated and depressed because no matter what you did or did not do, you still had a stomach that bulged out. Millions of people have this same problem when they are dieting. Learning more about the real reasons you may still have some belly fat after you have dieted is important.

Many people may not know about fats the body must have for mere survival. The fats stored inside your body are called visceral fats and are usually stored around your organs for protection and cushioning. When your tummy seems to stay there no matter what you do to flatten it, you may be seeing a sign that your real trouble with fat is inside your body.

Women that have a waistline measurement of more than 35 inches should consult their doctor about their level of visceral fats. The men that have waistline measurements of more than 40 inches should also talk to their physician about visceral fats. Your stomach is an indicator you may have a level of visceral fats that is too high to be considered healthy.

You may have seen dozens of advertisements about products guaranteed to help you lose weight, especially in the stomach area. Before you take any kind of diet pill or supplement, you should consult your physician first. Many people that have medical conditions they are not aware of could suffer heart attacks from taking some diet pills.

How much time you spend exercising is important to more than you trimming your waistline. Not only do your workouts help you to lose weight, it also allows the levels of fat inside you to decrease as well. You should also know that your mental state is greatly improved by regular exercise.

The foods you eat do matter and by adding more fiber to your diet, you stand better chances of having lower levels of visceral fats. Eating foods that take more calories to burn than they actually contain is a good idea as well. Snacking on raw vegetables like celery and radishes can help you lose weight simply by your body using more calories to convert them into energy.

Avoid fad diets that seems to have a magical cure for losing belly fat. These diets are generally unhealthy and could lead to you experiencing health issues due to the lack of vital nutrients. Talk to your doctor and approach your dieting efforts in the most healthy way to get the results you are dreaming about.
