How to Lose Belly Fat for Men

One of the greatest concerns a man may have about his physical appearance is his protruding belly. Some men go to great extents to get rid of their bellies. What do you really need to do to lose belly fat for men?What a man must know to burn belly fatBefore going on any diet or even shedding a drop of sweat, a man needs to clearly know what works for weight loss and what does not. He needs to understand how the body manages fat. He needs to understand that when he attempts to lose weight, the loss must come purely from shedding fat. Muscle or water loss must be reduced to an absolute minimum. A man can only trim the belly if he is losing fat. One of the main reasons why men are not able to lose weight is because they simply are not losing fat. They are losing lots of muscle and water and wondering why the waistline is not changing. It all boils down to a lack of fundamental weight loss knowledge.Alcohol and why you should keep away from itAlcohol consumption is one of the main reasons why so many men carry excess fat in their bellies. When you drink alcohol, it completely halts fat metabolism in the body. Alcohol is a toxin that the body needs to get rid of immediately. When you consume alcohol, it breaks down a large part of it to a by-product called acetate. The only way to remove acetate from the body is by burning it. Acetate is very calorie dense as each gram has up to 8 calories. All fat and carbohydrate calories from your meals are stored in the fat cells while the body tries to desperately get rid of acetate by burning it. Most men can usually see a tremendous difference simply by abstaining from alcohol.Consuming breakfastVery few people realize the importance of breakfast. Latest research shows that people who skip breakfast have a higher tendency to store abdominal fat. Skipping breakfast makes you gain weight. Breakfast is when you literally break the fast after you wake up from sleep. This is another simple way to lose some abdominal fat.Avoid refined carbohydratesOne of the main reasons the men carry excess tummy fat is because they are insulin resistant. In essence, someone who is insulin resistant requires more insulin than someone who is not insulin resistant for the same task of sending glucose in the blood into cells. Someone who is insulin resistant will have higher levels of insulin in the blood stream. Insulin is a very potent hormone for fat storage. In the presence of excess insulin, there is a tendency to store fat and not burn it. Men start developing insulin resistance when they consume too much refined carbohydrates. A lot of men can lose lots of tummy fat simply by eliminating refined carbohydrates, white flour products and sugars from their diet.Eating lots of food in its natural form also helps tremendously with reducing tummy fat. Men do not need to remove all forms of carbohydrates from their diet. They can and should eat complex carbohydrates from fruits and vegetables. If they are severely insulin resistant, they can temporarily remove root based vegetables from their diet until the insulin levels lower down.Regular exerciseExercise is one part that most men will avoid. Most men can see tremendous amounts of fat loss if they start weight resistance exercises. Weight resistance exercises are the best exercises to lose belly fat.Suresh and Dr Jasvin address this interesting topic in the video above.
