Lose Belly Fat - Forget the Sit-Ups - Forget the Crunches

By EJ Marley

Do you want to know how to lose belly fat? You may have heard that Sit-ups and crunches are the best way. These are the exercises that work the stomach muscles and make them strong. While this will help you to suck in your stomach, these exercises do nothing to help you lose belly fat.

To lose belly fat, consider this - You have to exercise to lose fat from any part of your body. If we frequently overeat or exercise too little, the body stores fat around the belly for future use. When we exercise regularly, the body quickly reverses the process and we lose belly fat.

So the good news is, no sit-ups or crunches are needed. What is needed is regular exercise. Some squats, push ups, a high rep dumbbell workout and a daily walk will do wonders to help us lose belly fat.

So, there's really no secret to losing belly fat. Do a simple work out each day, eat less bad foods, and eat lots of the foods that will make you strong. Also, have 5-6 smaller meals instead of 3 big ones. These nutritionally dense foods and physical activity is all it takes to lose belly fat.

The fact is, I know the secret to lose belly fat. You see, I used to be really fat. I had given up hope of ever feeling strong and healthy, or looking good.

One night at a shopping center I ran into a friend I hadn't spoken to in a year or so. He used to be way too fat like me, but he had slimmed way down. He said he lost almost 70 pounds. It took him about 6 months, and his energy level had increased dramatically. He truly was a friend, because he shower me how he was able to lose so much belly fat, and with so little effort.

My first thoughts were "this will be too hard". After all, I like to eat, and didn't think exercise was for me. I was happy to learn that I was able to eat anything I wanted, as much as I wanted, an I quickly began to lose belly fat. Also, no jogging, no crunches, and no sit-ups.

I want to give something back now. I went ahead and put together a whole bunch of free information on how to lose belly fat. It's all quick and easy stuff you can do with no special foods or exercise equipment. Check it out today!
