How To Lose Belly Fat Fast In A Week

It’s common knowledge that you lose at least 5 pounds of water weight within the first week of dieting. With this diet though, you not only lose water weight but a bit of visceral belly fat too. 

That’s because you are required to get at least an hour of exercise along with this diet. It’s also a very low-calorie diet (less than 1300 calories) therefore your body will use up previously stored fat as an energy source.

This helps you lose visceral fat along with water weight. 

What Is Visceral Fat?

Visceral fat is a type of fat that is hidden deep within the belly area and other parts of the body. This type of fat is dangerous because it wraps around your internal organs and leads to serious health issues.

Unlike subcutaneous fat, visceral fat makes up 10% of your full body fat and with the right diet, it is pretty easy to get rid of. Less than 3 months is all the time you need to get rid of visceral fat.

Subcutaneous fat on the other hand is the fat found right below the skin and makes up 90% of your whole body fat. Although not harmful, it requires much more effort to get rid of subcutaneous fat.

Can You Really Lose Visceral Belly Fat In A Week?

Yes, you can lose visceral belly fat in a week but how much you lose depends on the methods you use. It’s possible to lose up to 2 pounds within the first week sometimes even more if you count the water weight.

To lose your first few pounds of visceral belly fat, you will need to follow a low-calorie diet plan, do some high-intensity workout, and stay hydrated.

Hydration

Drinking water is very important when trying to lose belly fat because it helps reduce cravings and acts as an appetite suppressant. 

Water also helps your body get rid of toxins through your urine, the more you drink, the more toxins your body releases. Toxins can disrupt hormone function and lead to fat storage.

Staying hydrated daily helps your body break down fat molecules and use them as fuel. It also prevents water storage which is important for weight loss.

In order to lose belly fat successfully, you will need a healthy digestive tract, and drinking enough water is key to digestive function. It also keeps you regular!

Lastly, this study shows that people who drank at least 1.5 liters of water daily for 8 weeks saw a reduction in water weight, overall body fat, and suppressed appetite.

It is recommended that women drink around 11 glasses of water daily and 15 glasses for men. That said, aim to get at least 8 glasses of water and get water from other food sources like cucumbers, watermelon, detox teas, and milk.

Shake It Up!

As I mentioned above, to lose belly fat quickly, you must incorporate some sort of exercise into your daily routine. Some of the most effective exercises to burn belly fat include:

• Aerobics
• Cardio
• Brisk walking 
• Interval training
• Bicep curls
• Lunges
• Squats
• Tricep kickbacks
• 60-second planks
• Bicycle crunches
• Abdominal crunches
• Leg lifts

By doing 30 minutes to 1 hour of your chosen workout from the list above daily, you will speed up the belly fat-burning process.

How The 7-Day Belly Fat-Burning Diet Works

This diet will help you speed up your metabolism, improve your digestive health, and start melting those pounds of fat.

Why? Because you will be eating less than your body requires to use as fuel. You see, a regular person requires 2000 calories to maintain weight.

Eating more than 2000 calories causes weight gain while eating less causes weight loss. Now, it may be different for people who are obese.

That’s because they may need slightly more calories than the ones on the diet below to function properly. This is where a calorie calculator comes in.

The calculator measures your height, weight, age, and how often you work out to determine how many calories your body needs to lose weight. 

Go ahead and check your calories so that you can alter the diet below to fit you.

Remember, you have 8 glasses of water to drink throughout the day, therefore, you need to have 2 glasses of water with each main meal and one glass with snacks.
