Disease description:
I feel my belly is getting bigger and bigger, making clothes look especially unflattering. I always struggle to stick to exercise routines. Could you please advise on effective ways to lose belly fat?
To slim down your belly, you can try the following methods:
1. Adjust your diet:
- For staple foods, reduce intake of refined grains such as white rice and white flour, and opt for whole grains or starchy vegetables.
- Choose lean, high-protein, low-fat options for meat, such as beef, chicken breast, fish, shrimp, and soy products.
- Aim to consume at least two catties (about 1 kg) of vegetables daily, preferably those high in fiber and low in calories.
- Use cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, stewing, and mixing; avoid frying.
- Choose low-sugar fruits or yogurt as snacks.
2. Increase physical activity:
- Try high-intensity interval training (HIIT), combining both aerobic and anaerobic exercises.
- Perform targeted abdominal exercises such as planks, hula hooping, and sit-ups to help burn belly fat.
- Combine these with full-body workouts like jogging for better overall weight loss results.
3. Improve lifestyle habits:
- Avoid prolonged sitting after meals; instead, try standing against a wall for 10 minutes.
