1. Start With A One Day Fatloss Detox
Lots of doctors and fitness experts will tell you that this does nothing and may actually be dangerous but the truth is that if you've been on a diet of processed junk and booze for months on end your metabolism is dead and your digestion is sluggish so a detox will make a huge difference. The key to a detox is not deprivation but infusing the body with nutrients. Get the 411 on how to get started from Detox Diets: Do It The Right Way.
2. Ban The Belly Bloat
Believe it or not much of that belly bulk is false weight from foods and drinks that tend to cause bloating. Commit to no booze, no eating out, and no frozen food and no junk food for two weeks and you'll lose 5-7 lbs. of just bloating. You can always add the offending foods back in moderation but more than likely when you see your flat abs you won't want to.
3. Activate Your Powerhouse
Part of the reason you've got belly overhang is poor posture and lazy core muscles that never get worked while sitting in front of a computer. The key to flat abs is a daily dose of Winsor Pilates
. The instruction on Mari Winsor's Pilates dvd's is superb and it targets all the areas that support good posture and flat abs.4. Do Random Acts of Cardio
Nothing burns fat faster than interval cardio but you don't have to do lengthy complicated workouts to lose belly fat fast. Work in 3 different types of intervals for 60 seconds at random times every day. Jump rope, stair runs, jumping jacks, squat-thrusts, mountain climbers, even a couple of sun salutations will burn fat and get your metabolism in constant fat burning mode. The best part of this is you'll boost endurance and energy as well.
5. Switch To Quick Daily Workouts.
It turns out that 20-30 minute workouts every day is much more effective for fat burning that 1-2 hour long workouts 3 times a week. It's the consistency of daily activity that boosts metabolism, promotes healthy eating, and relieves the stress that promotes fat storage. Bodies that are not starved for movement respond by using up stored fat and burning more fat.
