Posted on 17 September 2009 by

It seems that one of the biggest college trends is to sport a beer belly.  It’s considered a lash back of the trend of being super fit and trim.  Many feel that looking buff, gives you the look of being spoiled and rich, so with today’s economy everyone wants to look like the “average Joe”.

However, if you have seen any of the spring fashion trends for 2010 for both men and women you will notice that shirts are slimmer and closer to the skin and women’s shirts show off their belly. So the “beer belly” college trend won’t last too long.

On the other hand you have many adults who enjoyed their early twenties have decided to lose their beer belly fat and begin a healthier lifestyle. At the conclusion of the article, you should have enough information to replace that keg and start to build six pack abs.

The first step you should take is to replace the unhealthy food in your kitchen. Replace them with healthier foods like fish, flax seed, almonds, egg whites, oatmeal and lean cuts of protein.

Once you eliminate the fat producing foods you crave and replace them with healthier choices, you will only make it easier when the sinful urges kick in. Keep nuts and fruits handy, for those times when you need to snack. If you want to build six pack abs then you need to keep a healthy diet plan.

Lose your beer belly fat by starting up an exercise routine.
Begin lifting weights and replace your fat cells with fat torching lean muscle tissue. The more muscle mass you pack on, the easier it becomes to burn fat. Once you turn your body into a fat burning furnace, your weight loss will explode.

The health and fitness industry wants you to believe you need all kinds of supplements. They create entire magazines just to push their products, I am sure you have seen many and may of subscribed to a few. You do not need supplements, especially fat burning stimulants. They can be harmful to your body in the long run. A proper diet and exercise is all you need to build six pack abs.

Exercise is an essential when you want to lose beer belly fat. If you have been sedentary for a while, you might want to begin walking. Once your body starts to lose the aches and pains from walking you can intensify the exercise with jogging.

Many people are turned off by working out because they feel the only way to achieve fat loss is with strenuous cardio. Nothing could be farther from the truth; you want to incorporate what is called interval cardio training. Interval cardio training helps burn fat quicker by allowing the heart rate to spike and then fall.

A great example is running for a minute and then walking for a minute and a half. It’s easier on beginners and it benefits you more than running at a steady pace.

Picture yourself a year from now, can you see a healthier and thinner you? If you can there should be nothing stopping you from achieving weight loss. It will add years to your life and make you a more energetic you!
