5 Ways to ACTUALLY lower belly fat!

1. Eat insoluble fiber.

The daily recommendation for fiber intake is 25 g per day. Insoluble fiber helps to soften foods in your digestive tract for smoother bowel movements. You must have normal bowel movements especially if you want the lower belly pouch to go away. Often times people have food sitting in their digestive track for days. Why? It is because they don’t have the proper nutrients to get those toxic foods out.

2. Do consistent cardio for at least 4 to 5 times a week with a consistent diet.

Now this is just personal advice! Realistically, cardio is a necessity to burn fat. The catch is, you burn fat all over the body meaning your butt may shrink slightly if you’re trying to maintain that, but after doing cardio for this amount of time take one week away from the gym and eat normally for four days. This will allow the swelling from cardio to go down and you see a slight difference in your physique.

3. Avoid ab exercises.

Unfortunately, ab exercises do not shrink your tummy!! It builds muscle. If you have a big tummy, ab exercises will only increase the size because it will build muscle underneath and create large abdominals which in turn creates a larger tummy!

4. Eat protein.

Eat protein while making sure to consistently drink water so your bowels will be easy to pass. Protein without water and green vegetables will cause bowel movements to back up, but when done correctly this will help burn calories and turn fat into muscle for a better body physique.

5. Eat greens and take senna tea on occasion.

Greens like kale, asparagus, and broccoli all have fiber to help with breakdown of food in the digestive system. Senna tea is something to be taken on rare occasion and best done on a weekend as the bowel movement process with Senna takes hours to work.
