Knowing what to eat when trying to lose belly fat is very important. Check out the key factors you need to consider. Also, learn the simple tricks you need to know to start losing belly fat up to 37% faster than ever before while build muscle fast.
It is important for you first to determine the number of calories your body needs to function properly. This can be done using a number of methods that are readily available on the internet. The number of calories need is different for all of us and is determined by factors including age, gender, weight, etc.
The only proven way to start burning belly fat is to create a calorie deficit in the body so that you can start burning fat for energy. The best way to create a calorie deficit is by reducing the number of calories you consume and by becoming more active, for example through exercise.
The other consideration you must take into account is how the body reacts/uses the different kinds of food that you comsume. To understand this fully, we will consider the 3 basic food types that we eat being carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
1. Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates increase the bodies metablism by approximately 10% when being digested. In other words, 10% of the calories you consume from carbohydrates are used by the body to digest the carbs. This figure varies with the varying kinds of carbs we eat. For example, refined sugars are more easily digested than complex sugars.
2. Fats. Fats are digested the fastest out of the different kinds of food. You only need 5 calories to digest 100 calories of pure fat.
3. Proteins. These are the most difficult for the body to digest and use up around 30% of the ingested calories to be digested. This is because proteins are very complex nutrients.
So when planning your diet, don’t just calculate the number of calories you are taking in. Take into account how many calories your body needs to break down the foods you are eating.
Diets high in protein are good because for example if you eat 1000 calories of protein, 300 calories will be used to digest them. Fruits and veggies should also be an integral part of your diet as they have complex sugars which are hard to break down thus raising your metabolism.
