Step 1: Think about the improvement of exchange of substances (metabolism), This task is not easy, requires patience and considerable effort. Therefore it is better to prevent the violation of metabolism, than then to restore it.

1. Make sure to eat Breakfast. It would seem, is counterproductive if you are trying to lose weight. However, studies show that Breakfast within an hour after waking up maintains the level of insulin in the blood more stable, and the level of "bad" cholesterol low.

  • Try every day to eat Breakfast around the same time. If you tend to sleep on weekends, then be sure to eat after sleep.
  • Your Breakfast should include protein and foods high in fiber because they are digested longer than refined sugars and complex carbohydrates, as this will help you to stay longer fed. Try eggs, peanut butter, fresh fruit and vegetables.

2. Switch from refined grains to whole. Eat more whole grain products. In whole grains low in fat, but a large number of beneficial fiber and carbohydrates that give us a feeling of satiety. In a scientific study people who ate whole grains (in addition to fruits and vegetables, low fat dairy products, meat, fish or poultry) lost more belly fat than another group that ate the same diet, but with products from refined grains.

  • Melt the fat in whole grains. A diet rich in whole grains changes the glucose and insulin in the body which accelerates melting fats, including visceral fat.
  • Try to avoid products from refined grains. For example, it is better to buy bread with bran and brown or wild rice than white bread and rice. The whole grain foods quite low in calories, contain a range of nutrients (vitamins b and E, minerals potassium, calcium, magnesium, copper, sodium, phosphorus and zinc) and, in addition, improve the functioning of the intestine.
3. Drink plenty of water. Studies show that continuous drinking water throughout the day can lead to a more active metabolism, regardless of diet. In addition, drinking plenty of water helps the body rid itself of toxins, and improves overall health.

  • Replace calorie-Laden drinks such as Coca-Cola, sweet juices and beer, with water to reduce calorie consumption and burn extra fat including belly.
  • Try to drink several glasses of water a day in winter – 8-10, 10-12 in the summer and more. Should drink 1 to 3 SIPS every 15-20 minutes, that would not be overloading the kidneys.

  • It is not recommended to drink water in less than 4 hours before bedtime due to the possible overload of the kidneys and need to get up in the night to visit the toilet.
4. Get rid of stress. Studies show that secretion of cortisol (a hormone produced by your body during times of stress) is correlated with increase belly fat, that is more stress and more belly fat. Here are a few possible strategies for coping with daily stress:

  • Get enough sleep. Most adults need at least 7 hours of sleep each night to function properly throughout the day. Lack of sleep leads to obesity.
  • Make time to relax. Even if your lunch break is given only 30 minutes, try to find the time to just close your eyes, take a deep breathe and forget about all your problems and concerns.
  • Keep the stress away from your bedroom. Avoid performing any strenuous mental or physical work in your bedroom. Remember that the bedroom is for rest and relaxation and try to leave all your worries outside its territory.
5. The goal is at least 10,000 steps a day. In one study, a group of people were asked just two weeks to reduce the number of daily steps from 10,000 to 1500 and less (without changing their diet). As a result, the subjects during this time, the belly fat increased by approximately 7%. Make the correct conclusion – buy a pedometer and gradually try to increase the number of steps you do each day. Instead of the Elevator walk up the stairs. A car or public transport replace walking. Every 30 minutes stand up and walk 30 steps. A lot of options. Think. The main thing is that the day you passed at least 5-6 km walk.

6. Regularly visit a bath (sauna), take a contrast shower (douche). In addition to other positive effects, these procedures have a positive effect on metabolic processes in the body.

If you are already suffering from obesity grade II (BMI=35-39,9), the caloric daily intake can be reduced to 1100-1200 kcal, while grade III (BMI=40 and above) up to 600-700 calories. Try these tips:

Therefore, it is necessary to get rid of excess estrogen. To do this, eat more of raw vegetables of the cabbage family such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower. This is because cruciferous vegetables contain a substance called diindolylmethane (or DIM) that helps the body rid itself of excess estrogen. In addition, the diet must be present products that contain fiber.
  • Do not overheat the testicles in the bath (sauna). This is due to the fact that the volume of testosterone produced in the testicles overheating is reduced.
