13 Tips to Lose the Stubborn Belly Fat Quickly

Belly fat is quite harmful to your health. It can cause serious diseases like diabetes and heart conditions extra. Being overweight can affect your skin as well. Therefore, it is very important to lose that excess abdominal fat if you want to stay healthy. I have been using my Cox gigablast package to watch healthy recipes on “Food Network.” These recipes and some healthy habits have made me lose belly fast within a month.

So, here are a few tips that you help you fit in your old clothes easily:

Increase Your Intake of Soluble Fiber

Soluble fiber is a great food source to lose weight. It absorbs water and makes you feel full for a long time. In this way, you end up eating less. Therefore, eat plenty of flax seeds, brussels sprouts, avocados, blackberries, and shirataki noodles daily to get rid of that belly fat within no time.

Don’t Consume Too Much Alcohol

Drinking too much alcohol can make you gain weight easily. It can also increase the risk of heart diseases and diabetes. Therefore, keep your alcohol consumption to a minimum if you don’t want excess fat storage around the waist.

Keep Stress Levels Low

High levels of stress can cause your body to produces an excess amount of cortisol. Cortisol is commonly known as the stress hormone. It can increase your appetite and make you gain weight quickly. To avoid that from happening, engage in activities like yoga, meditation, painting, and reading extra.

Stop Eating Sugary Foods

Sugar is not good for your health. This is because it contains fructose that can increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and liver diseases extra. Therefore, keep sugar consumption levels to a minimum to avoid obesity. Use even healthier sugars like honey once in a while to avoid belly fat.

Do Cardio

Doing cardio along with a healthy food intake can do wonders for your body. It can help you burn calories and keep dangerous diseases at bay. Make sure to do it routinely if you want to gain maximum benefits. However, don’t it more than 5 days a week as excessive exercise can also damage your body.

Don’t Consume Refined Carbs

Excessive carbs can also make you gain weight easily. Therefore, people who are at risk of developing PCOS, diabetes, and heart disease should lower their carb intake to stay in shape. This doesn’t mean that should stop eating carbs altogether. You can still eat unprocessed carbs like whole grains as they are healthier than refined ones.

 Avoid Beverages

Beverages like soda and punch are filled with fructose that can make you gain belly fat quickly. Consuming beverages can also increase the risk of liver and heart diseases. So, you should avoid beverages like sweet tea and soda at all costs if you want to stay healthy.

Get a Good Night’s Sleep

Not getting a good night’s sleep can help you gain weight easily. So, always get more than 7 hours of sleep every night to stay in shape. Not doing so can also make you develop “sleep apnea” which can make breathing stops intermittently during sleep. So, buy a good pillow and keep your environment comfortable to get quality sleep at night.

Eat Fatty Fish

Fatty fish is filled with good proteins and omega-3 fatty acids. These can keep dangerous heart diseases at bay. Omega 3 fatty acids can also make you lose belly and liver fat fast. So, eat salmon, sardines, anchovies, or mackerel two or three times a week to gain maximum benefits.

Don’t Drink Fruit Juices

Fruit juices are not healthy ways of getting vitamins and minerals. This is because they are filled with high amounts of sugar that can make you gain weight. It is better to drink water, iced tea, or lemon water instead of fruit juices to reduce excess fat.

Try Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting is a great method of losing belly fat. Instead of 24 hours of fasting once or twice a week, you can fast for 16 hours four times a week to lose weight. However, if you experience nausea or vomiting during the fast, you should stop fasting immediately and consult a doctor.

Drink Green Tea Everyday

Green tea is a great beverage to lose belly weight fast. Caffeine can help reduce stress by reducing the production of cortisol. Green tea also contains epigallocatechin which can boost metabolism and help you lose belly fat. To reap maximum benefits, it is advisable to combine green tea with exercise.

Lift Weights

Finally, lifting weights can help you in gaining muscle mass. Doing strength training and aerobic exercise at the same time can help in decreasing visceral fat fast. I even recommended it to my friend who was suffering from this. She followed the regime – went as far as upgrading her internet plan to Cox Gigablast Silver to stream and follow fitness routine videos on YouTube!

These changes in my life have helped me save gym fees and lose belly fat while staying at home. Totally worth all the effort!

Women Entrepreneurs, The Future of business

Whenever you come across the word woman entrepreneur, what comes to your mind? As for me, an image of myself comes to my mind where I see myself as a busy entrepreneur, with a messy hair bun, papers in one hand, a telephone in one hand trying to hear the rep’s message related to my Cox Internet plans. But obviously, it is not a simple thing.

Although a lot has changed over the past decade, there still are females who are still struggling to make their mark in the male-dominated industry. And if we look back, women of this decade have seriously come a long way to achieve every right they have today. Many factors contribute to the success (and failure!) of women entrepreneurs, but they are moving in the right direction.

Women Entrepreneurs: Confidence is their Second Name

The 2018’s Bank of America Women Business Owner Spotlight (Published by Bank of America) issued research regarding the revenue growth of women entrepreneurs. The statistics show improvement, but this needs to move up a bit, as the ratio of women making money in the past year is 20% less than the males making money statistics. Women have still a long way to go. Some of the prominent figures were:

  • 21% of women entrepreneurs have planned to hire more employees in the year 2019.
  • 49%of the entrepreneurs want to contribute to their local economy in a better way
  • 48% of them want to contribute to the bigger picture, i.e., their national economy.
  • 56% (that makes more than half of them!) want to expand their businesses within the next 5 years.
  • 58% of them believe their revenues are going to increase by the end of this year.

Women Entrepreneur’s Success Rate: The Real Picture

While women entrepreneurs are adding billions of dollars to the world economy right now, and are the inspirational forces for so many good changes that are happening in the world economic scenario, there is still a lot that needs to be done. It is also a sad reality that they have to face double the problems, as compared to male entrepreneurs. Inequality is one of the biggest obstacles to the progress of women business owners all around the world. When it comes to safe investments and secure credit accounts, they are far behind their male counterparts.

This often ends in a situation that puts their creditworthiness in question or makes them quit everything altogether. ‘Go Big or Go home’, phrases like that speak volumes about how failure has been considered synonymous with being a woman.

Finding a Male Stakeholder – Not a Myth

It might come as a surprise to many of you (and not a good one!) that even in 2019, women are required (sometimes, blatantly asked!) if they have any male member as a partner in their business. It is almost as if having a male name adds to the security of a transaction, or gives some extra credibility to a new venture. But again, that time is not even a century old when it was downright difficult for a woman to even open a bank account of her own!

So most of the time now, it is quite a good sight to see women who are self-dependent enough to take care of their finances, and flaunt their credit cards for a change! Women have come a long way. And women entrepreneurs are a step ahead.

Multi-Tasking is the Only Way!

Sadly, this part is true, as far as women entrepreneurs are concerned. When we talk about the barriers faced by women entrepreneurs, we forget that we are not just talking about happy, single women. Often statistical data collectors ignore the statics like the number of family members who need constant emotional and moral support from their mommies. Those mommies, unfortunately, happen to be entrepreneurs too. But they are mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters too.

You cannot expect equal output and dedication from two different people. In our case, most males are expected to earn, and just tend to do that. Whereas, female entrepreneurs (stay an entrepreneur or not, not their headache!) are expected to do the unpaid chores too, simply because they are ‘supposed to as they are females, the stay-at-home gender.

The Future of Female Entrepreneurs

As for now, female entrepreneurs do not enjoy an equal share in the business revenue pie, but the numbers are growing with each passing day. And it is very promising. Now when I see myself in the future as an entrepreneur, the messy hair bun is still there, I am still making a call this time from my Cox home phone. But it is to check my bank balance, not just for a laundry inquiry!
