While striving to lose weight, people keep looking for easy ways that can help them in quick results. While there might not be an easy way, there are certain tweaks that you can make in your diet, workout routine and other aspects that can help you shed your belly fat.

Read on as Dr. Michael Mosley, a diet expert, shares three ways that can help reduce your belly fat, according to a report on mirror.co.uk.

Less Sugar

Cutting down sugar from your diet can be extremely beneficial, not just for weight loss but for other aspects as well. It can help to improve your heart health, improve cognitive functioning among others. Dr. Mosley said to make a serious impact on your belly fat, cutting out sugar spikes is key. A surprising number of 'diet' snacks and drinks are high in sugar and are marketed as diet foods because they happen to be low in fat. He added, “Limit your intake of any food or drink containing more than five per cent sugar to no more than twice a week.” This also includes smoothies and juices and also fruits high in sugar like pineapples and mangoes.

Along with these, instead of choosing processed foods like white bread, pasta and others, choose alternatives like quinoa or brown rice. Dr Mosley said that there are two things that will surprise you; the amount of sugar you were consuming unawares and the speed at which your belly fat will begin to tame itself when you cut it out.”

Intermittent fasting

This is a great way to cut down on your calories every day. Intermittent fasting has become extremely popular and celebrities too have been following this diet. The idea of this diet is simple: you eat during a certain window and then fast for the remaining time. Dr. Mosley says that when you eat during the allowed window, make sure to not eat more than 800 calories. He said, “Not only do you simply lose weight by eating fewer calories, but your body responds to the stress of fasting by enhancing hormone function to facilitate weight loss and burn fat for energy. Short-term fasting can lead to several changes in the body that make fat burning easier.”

High-intensity training

High-intensity workouts are extremely helpful in removing fat from your body and it also keeps the body healthy. Dr. Mosley says that exercising is important and “It is amongst the best things you can do for a long and healthy life.”

High-intensity training alone can’t help you lose your belly fat. You will have to undergo other restrictions as well to get rid of the belly fat. Some high-intensity workouts that you can try are; mountain climbers, plank, jumping jacks, high knees, burpees, squat jumps and pushups.
