Type 2 Diabetes – How To Lose Belly Fat
If you’re like many people, then you probably think you have belly fat to lose. Even if you are not overweight, there is a good chance that you have some extra fat stored around your abdominal area. And central obesity or “abdominal fat” is one of the factors present in people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
The amount of effort it will take to lose belly fat will depend on how much you have in the first place. It sounds pretty simple! The problem, however, is that many of us tend to underestimate the amount of fat around our waists. Unless you are experienced in weight loss or understand how the body stores fat, it is normal to think that you only have “a few” pounds to lose. In short, you shouldn’t trust their estimates. Be confident in your progress because as the fat melts away, you will begin to see what your physique looks like without an added layer of fat tissue.
Let’s move on to how to lose belly fat. Be careful not to buy into the misconception that belly fat can be removed with more basic exercises at the gym. As helpful as abdominal exercises can be, they are not the way to lose belly fat. Why? Because fat loss can only happen through weight loss. If you’ve lost weight before, then you know that you don’t get to choose which areas of your body lose weight first. The way your body distributes fat depends on genetic factors and your gender, and only the influence of the latter can be reasonably predicted…
- Males store most of their fat around the waist.
- Women are more likely to store fat around the entire body, with an emphasis on the hips.
No matter how much your body differs or deviates from the norm, you are guaranteed to dislike belly fat. From a health standpoint, it’s not beneficial to keep it, so you should have an even greater incentive to get rid of it.
If abdominal exercises are not the answer, what is the solution? A “proper” weight loss plan is the best way to lose fat. Losing fat should be your number one goal. Losing belly fat follows weight loss. All that is needed, besides the correct execution, is patience.
If you didn’t already know, eating the “right” amount of calories is the essential recipe for weight loss. Whether you’re counting calories or not, you should take in fewer calories than your body expends. A quality diet and a physically active lifestyle can ensure that your body is in a fat burning state.
In your case, the loss of fat around your abdominal area may happen relatively quickly, or it may be the last area where you see progress. If you have fat to lose, you will only improve your health and strengthen your well-being if you commit to losing weight. Not to mention, getting a leaner physique will be a bonus.
