Nutrition is the key to fat loss, but of course that also means that it can cause you to gain weight and add belly fat too, if your diet is full of excessive late night eating, too much rice, and high-sugar meals.
You see, the key to fat loss is consuming a diet of whole, natural foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and raw nuts as the foundation of your diet, and adding smaller amounts of meat, rice, and other foods.
If you eat huge meals every night, filled with processed carbohydrates, you could end up over-eating and you'll gain weight.
Weight loss, fat burning, and body sculpting are very simple concepts. If you eat too much, you'll gain fat. On the other hand, if you eat the right foods, you won't overeat, and if you pair that with resistance training and interval training, you'll burn belly fat.
Using that system is how trainers like me are able to keep single-digit body fat all year round, and how we are able to see our abs on the beach - all while gaining muscle at the same time.
I highly recommend you use this simple 3-step system to lose fat by improving your nutrition.
Simple 3-step method to determining how many calories you need to lose fat.
1) Improve the quality of your current diet by eliminating added sugar and eating more whole, natural foods (fruits, vegetables, raw nuts).
Research shows that contrary to "popular gym rat" belief, that adding both fruit and nuts to your diet does not cause weight gain and in fact helps with weight LOSS.
2) Use free calorie counter websites to determine how many calories you are eating each day on your improved diet.
3) If you are not losing weight, reduce your calorie intake by 300 calories per day. If you ARE losing weight, no need to change anything.
And again, pair that with workouts of resistance training, bodyweight exercises, and interval training, and you'll lose 5-10 pounds of belly fat this month.
