Lose Stomach Fat - Stop Junk Food Cravings In A Few Simple Steps
Lose the junk food to lose stomach fat
The very first thing you must do to lose stomach fat is forget about junk food. Since you probably heard this many times before, you already know that it can be a difficult task. In fact, most people can't stay away from junk food long enough to see any kind of results. Aside from not being able to lose stomach fat, eating junk food may cause diabetes, cancer and do a lot more damage to your body. It also robs you of the energy that your body requires in order to function at its peak on daily basis. If you ever wonder why you don't have much energy, I strongly suggest that you take a look at what you've been eating. In this article, I will show you a few ways to make this process a lot easier and more effective.
Awareness is the primary key to losing stomach fat
If you really want to lose stomach fat, you need to learn how to free yourself from being addicted to foods that are bad for you. The first step is to distinguish what kind of food you are specifically addicted to. This is usually the kind of food that you consume on daily basis. Think about it for a moment, what kind food do you really love? Is there any food that you just can't stop eating until you are stuffed to the point where you're just about ready to explode?
Chances are that you've tried to cut this food from you diet previously; however, you were unsuccessful. If that's the case, take a second to ask yourself; what are the primary consistent excuses that you've been making in order to keep yourself from following-through. For example, do you say to yourself that you'll workout even harder tomorrow to compensate for this extra piece of chocolate? Or maybe you try to intellectualize the situation by saying something like "well, I ate a bunch of healthy food a few hours ago, so if I have a scoop of ice cream it can't be that unhealthy for me."
If you really did take a few minutes to think about all the excuses that you've been making, then you've probably noticed that you tend to intellectualize most situations to make yourself feel better. Don't worry; it's a natural habit of human beings. The only way to get out of this trap is to refrain from eating these destructive foods completely, and for a period long enough to stop feeling the cravings. On average, this takes approximately a month.
Junk food free for a month will help you lose stomach fat.
The best way to do it is to get rid of all the junk food (especially the food that you are addicted to) from you house immediately. By doing so, you won't be able to just go straight to the kitchen and eat it whenever you have a craving. Also, do your best not to go food shopping on an empty stomach. This way you won't be an impulsive buyer. Another thing that you might want to keep in mind is the fact that most people have routines, and they follow them every single day on a subconscious level. Do you have any daily routines where you're used to eating unhealthy foods at certain times of day? If so, you need to start paying close attention to these things daily until you are no longer influenced by them.
I know, you're probably thinking this is going to be too painful because you'll have to give up most of the food that you absolutely love. However, notice I didn't say that you couldn't ever eat it again. Actually, after approximately a month (when you won't be craving the food as much anymore) you can have one or two cheat days throughout the week. You'll be able to treat yourself to a small portion of whatever you like as long as you don't keep this food in your house.
