Use these 5 tips over the next 30 days in your diet and you will see the results. The key is to stick to your routine and understand what you are putting into your body.

Use the calculator below to figure out your BMR and then depending on your activity. Use the chart below to help figure your daily activity.

Once you figure out you BMR, you will need to figure your daily activity to see what your true calorie usage is for the day.

Activity Multiplier – Find one that pertains to you below and times that by you BMR. That’s your daily calorie maintenance for your body.
Sedentary = BMR X 1.2 (little or no exercise, desk job)
Lightly active = BMR X 1.375 (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/wk)
Mod. active = BMR X 1.55 (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/wk)
Very active = BMR X 1.725 (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/wk)
Extr. Active = BMR X 1.9 (hard daily exercise/sports & physical job or 2X day training, i.e marathon, contest etc.

Remember: In order to lose weight you will need to create a calorie deficit from your maintenance calories. I subtracted 400 to 500 calories for 60 days and I lost over 18lbs. This allowed my body to lose fat, but still have enough calories to fuel my workouts.

Belly Fat TIP: People that deprive themselves of food in hopes of losing weight also decreases their BMR and makes it harder for their body to lose weight.

Actual Picture Of Me Before & After

Ok…so you want to Get Rid Of That Belly Fat, but you’ve tried crunches, ab routines and everything else and nothing works.

I’m going to give you the real truth about how you can have a flatter stomach without working out for hours at the gym.

The Honest TRUTH!

The Truth Is….80% of your results are from diet and nutrition and understanding how your body burns calories.

Yes…exercise will help burn calories, but you can shed fat by dialing in your diet. In this post I’ll share what’s worked for me and other people I have shared this with as well.

Let me start by saying…you don’t have to starve yourself to lose weight. I eat 6 meals per day and continue to keep my flat stomach without gaining weight. This will work for both men and women.

Let’s Talk Crunches

Crunches and Ab exercises help build Ab muscles…but if you have high body fat, you will never see them. If all you did was work on your diet and nutrition alone…you would start to lose weight and expose your abs. The fact is…everyone has abs. Just most peoples are covered with layers of fat.

You need to figure out your calorie maintenance intake. For me it’s around 2,300 calories. To lose weight or shed fat…you need to have a calorie deficit. I personally need to consume between 1,700 to 1,900 calories to lose weight.

Let’s Be Very Clear

I’m not saying you shouldn’t exercise to burn more calories. I’m a big believer in exercising to become healthier. We all know it’s good for you. But…my point is you can lose weight and get a flatter stomach if you just focus on your diet.

5 Things You Can Do Right Now To Get Rid Of Belly Fat

• 1. Figure out your maintenance calorie intake to be at a calorie deficit. This will allow your body to have enough to function, but lose weight at a slow and healthy pace. You can use My Calorie Calculator to figure your calorie profile.
• 2. Eat 5 to 6 meals per day. You want to spread your calories out over the entire day in smaller portions. This will keep your metabolism stay running the entire day…which also will burn calories at the same time.
• 3. Watch your sodium. Make sure you keep your sodium levels low. Sodium retains water and also adds water weight. You could see these results really fast from just cutting down your sodium levels.
• 4. Drink Water – Drink at least 8 – 12 oz glasses of water per day. This will flush out some of the sodium and keep your metabolism running at the same time.
• 5. Walk – We all know walking is good for you and you should walk at least 30 minutes per day. If you’re limited on time…just make it a point to park further at the market or the store. This will force you to walk so you get the exercise you need to burn calories.

So…there you have it. You don’t need the next belly toner gadget. Just follow this simple plan and you’ll be on your way to a flatter stomach and who knows…maybe some six pack abs

Now…like I said before, exercise will help to speed up the calorie burn and build your core muscles.
