My theories on belly fat reduction

Theories on belly fat:

--->  Do more overall muscle group exercises in cardio. Spot reduction is a bogus.
--->Few abdominal exercises are very effective. Especially Planks are the best.
--->  Eat min 4-5 times a day (small meals). That keeps your metabolism rate high.
--->  Never miss breakfast.
--->  Eat less carbs and more of vegetables and nutritious food.
--->  Avoid sugars as much as possible. Sugar is the enemy and the silent killer.
--->  No processed foods / artificial sweeteners / canned drinks strictly.
--->  Avoid stress. It induces cortisol and settles in the stomach.
--->  Have vitamin C to burn cortisol, whenever you are stressed.
--->  Lose overall body weight. Hence perform HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training).
--->  Have dinner before 8 pm. At least 3 hrs gap before sleep. Sleep is for min 6-7 hrs a day.
--->  If your metabolism is not good, you may have a bloated stomach. Thyroid conditions, diabetes etc. can be the reasons behind slow metabolism.
--->  Sitting with a curved back may result in all the fat accumulating around your stomach area. It may also lead to hyperlordosis or pelvic tilt (protruding gut and a huge butt).
--->  A sedentary lifestyle is one of the major causes behind the occurrence of belly fat. A couch potato.
--->  Exercise min 45 min to 1 hour a day.
--->  Eat more of:
-Almonds
-Yogurt
-Banana
-Green vegetables
--->  Eat healthy in the morning. It helps metabolism
--->  Make salads the main star of the meal, as you get filled soon and does not have more calories.
--->  Drink lots of water. This will prevent water retention and will help to flush out any toxins from your body.
--->Wheatgrass is THE most effective food for removing toxins from the body and thereby helping in good weight management. Have 2 teaspoons on wheatgrass with warm water daily first thing in the morning. Do not have with anything else. Give a gap of at least half an hour gap until you have your breakfast.
--->  Do not entirely skip carbs. Instead, try to eat a limited amount of carbs every day to keep your body’s need for carbohydrates in check. For instance, if you like roti cut it down to 1 roti instead of 2 or 3. If you totally cut down on carbs or food in general, you will lose muscle mass instead of fat.
--->Dieting is totally a wrong concept which no one should follow. It nay temporarily reduce your weight by reducing the muscle mass, but it leads to serious health problems in the long run. Eat more (nutritional food), at least every 3 hours a day to keep your metabolism high which helps in great weight maintainace.
--->  Always go light on dinner. Dinner is the time when your body starts to wind down for the day, so stay away from anything heavy. Plan a light meal for the night, like a clear soup, ane roti with half a cup of salad or curryl, or maybe just fruits and a glass of milk.
--->Have rich amount of fibre everyday. Best is to have 2 teaspoons of flax seeds.
---> Last but not the least, plan on getting enough sleep. Sleep early since you’re having a light dinner. Staying up late will make you feel hungry again and you’ll need to eat.
