- Cardiovascular exercise increase the heart rate and burns off excess calories in the body. Exercises that are particularly good for reducing weight in the midsection are fast walking, swimming and light running. Exercise at least 30 minutes, 3 days a week to start. After a few weeks, gradually increase your workout time to 1 hour every day.
- Water intake is incredibly important in any weight loss plan. When the body is hydrated, the systems in the body can function correctly, including the endocrine system which controls metabolism. Therefore, drinking plenty of water throughout the day can help you lose more weight. Carry a bottle with you to make sure that you are getting at least 64 oz. of pure water per day.
- Nothing increases weight gain more than a diet containing large quantities of processed foods that are high in fats, sugars, salt and additives. To speed weight loss, eat a diet rich in whole foods, or foods that are as close to their natural state as they can be. These foods include fresh produce, leans meats and whole grains, such as rice or stone ground oats.
