Natural Methods to Reduce Belly Fat
While you can get the desired shape by spending hours in the gym, a few natural habits can be helpful in tightening the core and reducing that belly fat.
Try out these simple home remedies that can actually help get rid of the extra layers of fat under your belly.
Start your day with Lemon and Honey

Good metabolism rate is the key to stop the accumulation of unhealthy fat in the body. Well, starting your day with some warm water mixed with lemon juice and honey can boost your metabolism rate for the day.
Avoid sugary foods totally
Sugary foods have no nutritional value. They are simply empty carbs that get piled up in the body resulting in unnecessary fat and cholesterol. It is in your best interest to stay away from sugary foods.
Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water every day
Drinking a good amount of water every day keeps your body hydrated and full all the time. It can eliminate the irregular hunger cravings and keeps you from snacking unnecessarily all the time.
Stop eating refined white rice
If you are a rice person, then it’s time to quit the habit. Replace it with whole wheat based products such as brown bread or try oats and quinoa for a change. These are healthy alternatives to rice and could help reduce the belly fat quite naturally. You can also go for brown rice if you can’t ditch your favourite food.
Add a lot of fruits and veggies in your diet

Often times, we rely a lot on grains and pulses but least on fruits and vegetables. It’s important to include a lot of fruits and vegetables in your diet as these healthy foods are the essential source of vitamins, minerals, and fibre. It is recommended to go for salads if you feel hunger cravings in between meals.
Stay away from non-vegetarian dishes
Unless and until, you are bodybuilding, stay away from non-vegetarian dishes. Non-veg dishes contain a lot of protein. This helps in muscle building but it also contains a lot of calories. These act as fuel during workouts. If you are looking for a lean and trim figure, we would recommend staying away from non-vegetarian dishes for a while and see the results for yourself.
Add a lot of healthy herbs and spices in your cooking
Herbs and spices can offer that necessary punch to your dish. Adding them won’t just enhance the flavour but also improve the health factor of your dish. Spices and herbs are also considered great fat burning foods. Adding them in your regular cooking will easily help reduce the belly fat.
That’s it.
These simple home remedies will only work if you lead a healthy lifestyle. Dieting or cutting down on healthy food to an extreme level can only make things worse. Also, add regular workouts in your daily routine for effective results.

We practice a mostly vegetarian lifestyle. I start every day with a fruit smoothie. I do not eat wheat products often and prefer quinoa and brown rice.
These are all good health tips. Exercise is also good for reducing weight.

I was looking for something like this. Would it be possible to burn fat while also weightlifting?
Yes of course…dont over do with the protein and fat Intake. Consult a certified nutritionist on the exact amount of supplements your body needs depending on your workout and take only that much which your body will burn during weightlifting. Start brisk walking daily to burn down excess carbs.. Do come back for more posts.. 🙂
