Our bodies are wired to store fat around our center of mass which happens to be the belly love handles and hips. There's a very good reason for this storing pounds of fat on more distal areas like your hands and your feet would require a lot more energy to carry around and to do the things that we need to do daily to survive. This defeats the whole biological purpose of storing fat, to begin with, which is essentially your body trying to stock up on energy in the form of body fat in case of a future famine, where there's a shortage of food or in other words a shortage of energy.
In sports, like wrestling and judo, we can see that our center of mass gives us
the leverage we need to carry heavy weight loads without expending a ton of
energy. Your body already naturally knows this so that's why one of the first
areas to gain fat when you overeat is your belly. Unfortunately, even though
your body is wired to view this as very efficient not only in the stomach area
the last spot that most people want to gain fat but it's also very unhealthy to
carry large amounts of fat around your midsection.
Now even though your body is quick to store fat around your stomach it's very
hesitant to let it go and will usually be one of the last spots that it pulls
fat from so you need to reduce your overall body fat percentage low enough to
allow your body to burn the fat everywhere else before it starts pulling energy
from the fat stored around your midsection. This is done mostly through diet so
a lot of times many people follow a strict diet which becomes more and more
difficult the longer you try to stick to it. So today we want to give you guys
14 quick guidelines that you could use to start burning body fat and belly fat
as soon as possible without having to torture yourself in the process.

1: Limit the number of sugary foods that you eat
Sugar doesn't only taste good at the moment but it makes you crave more sugar in the future. When you habitually eat things like cookies, ice cream, and cake you wind up decreasing the sensitivity of your palate which makes natural healthy sources of sugar like fruit taste much less sweet and satisfying. Some studies show a direct link between having a high sugar intake and having higher levels of abdominal fat. This is because sugar spikes insulin which is a fat-storage hormone and it also decreases insulin sensitivity. So this doesn't mean that you can never have any sweets. You can reward yourself with something like ice cream at the end of the week but it shouldn't be a staple part of your diet throughout the week. Instead, you should do your best to stick to fruit to satisfy your sweet tooth.
2: stick to the outside perimeter of the grocery store and avoid
the inner aisles
next, when you go shopping you're gonna want to stick to the outside perimeter of the grocery store and avoid the inner aisles for the most part. So this includes your produce department your seafood, meat, eggs, and some dairy. This is because the inner aisles are usually where you'll find all the processed food that ends up raising your insulin levels increasing your daily calorie count and of course contributing to the storage of fat around your stomach. However, other than high sugar cereals chips and cookies there are some things in the inner aisles like rice, quinoa, and nuts that can actually fill up your stomach and help you reduce your body fat. So when you do go into the inner aisles you want to follow the next tip.
3: Pick mostly single-ingredient foods
These are foods that have a low-calorie density, which means that for the amount of space that they take up in your stomach they'll only add a relatively low amount of calories to your daily total. A perfect example of this is comparing Oreos to something like broccoli; just one Oreo will have 40 calories mostly in the form of sugar for the same amount of calories you can fill your stomach with a whole cup of broccoli. Now on top of that single ingredient foods require more calories to digest. The Oreo will quickly and easily be broken down into simple sugar without much effort, meanwhile, the broccoli will need more energy to be broken down, reducing the net amount of calories that you ultimately take in. We can see this again and again when comparing many other foods such as white bread to brown rice for example. So generally a great rule of thumb is to stick to a whole unprocessed natural single ingredient foods that either have a short shelf-life are frozen or need to be boiled to eat them.
4: Watch out for added sugar

Even in the outside perimeter of your grocery store, you'll no, tice things that appear to be healthy like smoothies and juices when in reality they're only going to help you store body fat and not lose it. That's because when you take a close look at these foods and beverages that are marketed as healthy, you'll see that they're full of a ton of ingredients to help preserve the products and especially full of added sugar to make them more palatable.
If you want something like a natural smoothie you're much better off making it fresh on your own by simply throwing in some fruits, vegetables, and water into a blender; not only is this nutritious but it'll help you drink more water throughout the day.
5: Drink more water
Now the majority of people trying to burn fat think that water can be used to enhance weight loss and fat loss, so they try to drink tons of water throughout the day. Many of these same people will still continue snacking throughout the day on high sugar fat foods like trail mix but they'll still make sure that they get there are 8-ounce glasses of water in for the day. The truth is that there is no magical property of water that significantly enhances fat loss. It will slightly speed up your metabolism but this will only save you around 50 calories per day and maybe closer to a hundred if you only drink cold water. However, sticking exclusively to only drinking water is a great tip for those of you that have juices and sodas throughout the day because this can save you from consuming literally hundreds of extra calories in the form of sugar. Water is also one of the healthiest beverages you can drink because it helps carry nutrients from the food that you eat throughout your body.
