Citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges tend to deliver the best results. These fruits not only boost metabolism of your body, but they also tend to have an excellent volume of fibers and a lot of vitamins. Result: yours digestive system is going to perform really well. Likewise any fresh juice is going to help your digestion drastically.
• Now you are bound to be a good tea or coffee drinker. However the milk in such drinks tends to add a ton to your belly fat. Hence start drinking, black tea or coffee. Smoothies, lattes and other such treats should be avoided as they again tend to add to belly fat. If you want to have some high fat or protein drink have it once with breakfast and that's the end of it, it would be digested by lunch time.
• Eating raw vegetables also has the same effect. You get a lot of carbohydrates, fiber and vitamins through the vegetables which clean up the unwanted portions of the belly fat.

On the whole replace the unhealthy part of your diet with healthy foods. Example, a bag of chips should be replaced with a tomato and cucumber or a carrot.

What Not to Eat

• Let's start with some saddening advise. What not to eat when you are trying to reduce belly fat? Anything that looks unhealthy, oily and fatty. This will of course include, anything fried and anything that is topped and dressed with oil. This fat intake can be replaced with proteins such as sprouts and fresh healthy glass of milk (once in the morning and once in the evening and if you are honest, not several times a day).
• Secondly, replace meat with something else. That is if you are having a sandwich with meat in it, cut down the content to half. Instead stuff it up with vegetables or a boiled potato.
• Cut own on dressings such as mayonnaise and cheeses. Take up small proportions of such dressings. Instead increase the amount of herds and natural food conditioners that include, chillies and lime juice.
• Junk food which has been stored in your cupboard, desk drawer, throw it out. Such snacks account for the maximum number of fats in your belly. Instead try out the toothpick trick, it works wonders.
• Overall, these 3 important nutrients which you would need to cut down, sugars, unhealthy fats and complex proteins. The simplest and the easiest way is to eat only small portions of cooked food, go raw to fill your tummy. It really tests your patience does it not?

On the whole a disciplined eating for about a year or so, would take down that belly fat that's torturing you. Now all you need is a change of lifestyle.

Change of Lifestyle

• Modern lifestyle has troubled you digestive systems and also our sleep and exercise cycles. Hence the best tip that I give you is, sleep properly. A sleep cycle of 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. is the best one that you can have. You can also modify it to 4 a.m. if you need more sleep, but this sleep cycle would not just reduce stress levels but will also give all your systems rest and sufficient time to recompose themselves.
• Initially try out some mild exercises such as pranayama, yoga and jogging or walking so that your metabolism levels get boosted up and your body takes healthy oxygen. Do as much exercise as you can in an open space as it pushes up your respiration levels.
• Once you have gotten comfortable with the new lifestyle, you can throw your exercise regimen into a higher gear. Start with something like swimming or martial arts or even some cardio and gym based exercises to lose belly fat. This will tone up your body significantly. Apart from that you can also start using a bicycle to go to your office or nearby places.

Remember, logic and simplicity in your diet and workout, disciplined execution of your diet and exercise will greatly improve your lifestyle, reduce down belly fat considerably and also considerably enhance your constitution. I hope that the tips for reducing belly fat are resourceful.
