There are a lot of bad theories floating around on what exactly is the best way to lose stomach fat and that's because there are a lot of companies trying to make money by selling "solutions" that don't really work. The best example of that is the ab exercise machine industry. Doing these type of ab exercises has little to no effect on the amount of fat you have on your stomach and the amount of fat you have on your stomach is the main thing that effects whether or not your midsection is attractive or not.
The simple truth is that in order to lose belly fat effectively you must go on a metabolism boosting diet that is easy enough to stick with that you can continue on the diet until you reach your goal weight. I think one of the biggest mistakes that people make is starting a diet that is too difficult for them to stick with until they reach their goal. Think about it, if you start a diet that you can't stick with then what's the point of starting the diet in the first place?
What this leads to is that there are two features that the best belly fat burning diet must have. The first feature is that it must boot the metabolism. The second feature is that it must be easy enough to stick with that you can stick with it until you reach your weight loss goal.
An excellent way that a diet can boost the metabolism is through the use of a "calorie spike" day. This is a built in day when the dieter can basically eat anything they want. It may sound counter-intuitive but this is actually one of the best things a dieter can do to speed up fat loss and that's because when the body gets this spike of calories it actually speeds up it's metabolism so that it burns fat faster. I definitely recommend that you choose a diet which includes a regular "calorie spike" as part of it's methodology. This is a cutting edge technique so you won't find it in any of the old fashioned diets that are normally advertised on TV.
A very important factor as far as making a diet easier to stick with until you reach your goal weight is starting a diet which does not include any calorie counting or food diary keeping. Those are two big things that you really need to avoid for long term success. Why? Because those things make you think about food even more than you already do. They make the diet a real drag, something that takes so much of your energy that you can never stick it out. I must recommend that you start a diet which does not include any calorie counting or the keeping of a food diary.
