There is no one single secret to eliminate the famous love handles around the abdomen, it's a combination of factors. Of course, the typical response of total body training with high intensity aerobic interval training and proper nutrition are keys to long term success, but there are other techniques to burn belly fat .
You may have heard that cortisol "the stress hormone" is responsible for the extra fat in the abdominal region, but this is only half the story.
Your body produces cortisol to cope with stress - physical, mental, or emotional. This can include diets that do not give you enough calories, infections, lack of sleep, emotional shock, intense exercise, even the stress of everyday life.
Stress and cortisol are not fattening themselves, but studies have linked high cortisol levels in the storage of body fat.
So the key to not store extra fat in the middle section is to control the response of cortisol or your stress levels.
Learn the 4 best ways to rid of belly fat:
1. Frequent meals at fixed intervals. When you skip meals, cortisol levels increase, so aim for 3 to 4 meals a day at equal intervals between them. Usually I tell my clients to eat every 3 to 3.5 hours.
2. Do not skip breakfast. This will cause your body to create more stress hormones. Make a habit to eat something when you wake up in the morning.
3. Sleep enough. Have you ever noticed that when you're tired, you crave carbohydrates and sweets? The secretion of cortisol increases your desire for fatty foods or sugar and not help the diet.
4. Reduce alcohol. It is dumb calories, but beyond that, alcohol boosts fat storage, since it releases cortisol which inhibits the production of testosterone.
