Do you want to know how to finally get rid of belly fat? Many women are confused on how to exactly do this, since there is so much conflicting advice out there. Being in the industry for 10 years I can tell you I know what works and what doesn't. You do have to have patience, and once you allow yourself to change then you will start seeing your stomach flatter as a result.

Here are the 7 best tips to beat belly fat:

1. Preparation is key. First off, I don't like the word "diet" it sounds very negative, and is short-lived. Most women that go on fad diets gain the weight back and then some, which contributes more to losing belly fat. What you first must understand is that if you want to really lose the belly fat you must adapt a healthy life-style. You also must mentally prepare yourself for this and feel you are ready to change. It is a decision to be committed rather than just interested. Being committed to a program means that you do what it takes, and being interested is that you have the desire but you really don't want to put forth the effort.

2. Look at your nutrition. The main thing to be concerned about is calories. Too little calories and the belly fat will not come off and the same thing for too many. You need to be in the right calorie deficit to lose belly fat. You might be thinking of what type of plan you should be on, but the real secret is how many calories you are taking in for the day, but also make sure that protein is set up to your daily requirement. This can vary anywhere from 1-1.5 grams per body weight or some like to go by their lean muscle mass.

3. Fish oils (6 grams daily) this will help you lose fat. You actually need the right amount and types of fat to lose the belly fat. Most programs can show you how to take weight off, but if your serious about losing the belly fat you need to focus on fat loss not weight loss for permanent results. As you progress your body will plateau and you actually have to keep adjusting your metabolism. This is done mainly through nutrition.

4. Eat to lose belly fat. Believe it or not sometimes you have to go up in calories in order to lose more belly fat. I know this may sound counterintuitive but it's true. It is important to do this carefully so that you don't end up worse than before. I recommend hiring a highly skilled fitness professional that knows how to do this. Nutrition goes beyond what most women think and that's important to realize.

5. Have the right training program. This will consist of both weight training and cardio. Too many women are performing cardio incorrectly. Forget about long sessions on steady state cardio, these can actually produce too much cortisol, which leads to belly fat. Many women are exercising this way to lose belly fat, when in fact they are being counterproductive in their exercise. The right way to do cardio to lose belly fat is interval and HIIT (high intensity interval training). These are quick bursts that you can perform outside or on any piece of cardio equipment. For example of HIIT would be 20 seconds of a workload followed by 30 seconds recovery then repeat the cycle for 8-12 times then perform a moderate cool down. Intervals will be longer in both work and rest segments. When it comes to losing belly fat, weight training is very important and you want to keep a variety of reps schemes.
