The main issue for a lot of people when trying to lose stomach fat is that they don't know where to start.
Sure, you can do crunches until the cows come home, but the truth is that crunches aren't what give you that flat, 6-pack stomach.
The work out helps to strengthen the muscles, sure, but if you don't get rid of the fat and keep it off, then you'll never have the abs you want and all that work will have gone in vain.
We need to have an understanding of how the body works, how and why it stores fat and what need to do to get rid of that stomach fat for good.
This is where we begin our journey! There is a ton of nutritional information on the web, but where to start or even what to look up can seem overwhelming.
Your best bet is to start off with what you know, which, for most people, will probably mean the food pyramid they learned in elementary school.
A proper nutrition is your best bet at losing that stomach fat and keeping it off.
The western lifestyle caters to the quick and easy, but it wreaks havoc with our body, chiefly in the way our body stores fat.
So, one tip would be to look at what you have in your fridge and pantry.
Chances are, if you have a gut, a lot of the foods you have will be responsible for it.
This is a good start because now you know what to avoid on your next grocery trip.
Perhaps the next tip would be to look at what the contents are of what you eat.
What you want to aim for are foods that are very low or don't contain any trans-fat.
This is the culprit for the guts and stomach fat of the world.
Your body does need and use fat, but they are natural fats and should be taken to help your body function.
One last tip would be, when buying groceries, stick to the outside of the store.
The majority of the healthier foods, the ones we all need like milk, eggs, meat, vegetables, etc.
are found along the outer edge of the store.
All the fattier foods full of sugars, trans-fat, salts, etc.
find themselves in the middle of the store.
Stick to the outside and have most of your food from there.
You'll see that as time goes on and you stick to this way of eating, you'll be losing some weight and feeling much healthier over all.
Once you've gotten a hold on your new diet, then it is time to implement some working out to help you shed the weight faster.
You don't necessarily have to go to a gym either.
Just walking 30 minutes a day will help you lose the weight in a short manner of months.
I've known people walk their way thin over the course of a summer.
So, find a part-time job that requires you to walk, like some of my friends did, or just find any excuse to walk outside.
If you want to get more defined, then look into a gym or workout program from home to help you achieve those goals.
The efforts don't have to be major, but you'll start to see that the effects are very much that, and in a short amount of time.
