Men are you tired of hearing about how flat your stomach used to be and how the heaviest thing you lift now is your gut over your belt? If so, that's about to change, as I (drum roll please) am about to show you How to Get Rid of the Beer Belly without Giving Up Beer! Now let's get down to defining what a beer belly really is and determine if it is really caused by beer.
Let us first define what a beer belly is. By definition, a beer belly is an area of fat that is positioned between your chest and your waist, or what used to be your waist. Now, is it cause by beer? The surprising answer is no. Science has proven that beer bellies are caused by calories that haven't been burned up by your body that get deposited to that section of your body. Why is it deposited there? Men are genetically dispositioned to deposit the greatest amount of their fat in their stomach area.
Now you know where the beer belly or should I say the hot wings belly comes from, next you have to decide what you are willing to do to reverse the curse. You can start by working on those fat cells that are spreading themselves on your stomach. Beer is not the direct cause of your waistline expanding, but it can be a factor. Alcohol makes you hungry, think Hot wings and Beer at Hooters (I mean the food is why you go, right?), so if you stopped drinking you'd be taking a good step towards cutting down your calorie intake.
Get rid of the beer and you also get rid of the increased appetite. However, this article is about losing weight without getting rid of the beer, so that will not be included in our weight loss efforts. But you can switch to a lighter beer with fewer calories and in addition you can exercise more than you drink so that you are burning more calories than you are drinking. Some of you may think that exercising extensively is too much hard work, so that won't be included in our diet program either. But we will look at the best beers for your belly.
The first thing that probably comes to mind when you think of low calorie beer is the light beers that don't taste very good. This article was written for real men who would never dream of drinking one of those girly light beers.
So first up is a nice dark Guinness Draught, boasting 125 calories and 10 carbs its not a light beer but it does have a low calorie count and you won't have to drink 10 of them to make up for the lack of taste. Next up is Beamish Irish Stout, it has 131 calories but you still aren't losing anything in the taste and your waist is happy. So drink responsibly and finish up with Busch, it has 133 calories and about 10 carbs.

How to Lose Belly Fat Easily - Follow This Exercise Plan
There is only one answer for those people who want to know how to lose belly fat, and the answer is to exercise. Stomach fat is famously difficult to remove and you cannot expect to get the required results if you do only half measures.
Many of the tips on how to lose belly fat that you read from time to time advise you to change your diet. You are asked to remove extra carbohydrates and fats from your diet in addition to making other changes. What you should realize, however, is that changing your diet is only supplementary to exercising.
You have to follow a rigorous exercise schedule if you wish to trim your belly. There are exercises that focus on specific muscles that comprise your belly and midriff and you should do them regularly. These are specific stomach crunches that focus on your upper abdominal, lower abdominal and oblique muscles.
You have to be very clear about the technique you use while doing these exercises. For example, if you are exercising your upper abdominal muscles, you have to lie on your back on the ground with your feet well grounded and with your knees bent not more than 45 degrees. You have to rise only halfway so that your back, shoulders and head are off the ground. If your knees are bent at the wrong angle or if you rise all the way up, you will not get the full benefit of the exercise and you might injure your back in the bargain.
Get help from a trainer or an exercise video so that you know which stomach exercises to do. You also have to keep increasing the difficulty level of your workout by increasing the repetitions of these exercises.
Your exercise schedule should also consist of an intensive cardio work out. This will burn away the fat layer covering your muscles, which should hopefully have toned up as a result of all the abdominal crunches you have been doing. A daily run on the treadmill will work wonders, although you could vary it with sessions on the exercise cycle or any other cardio routine that you prefer doing.
Only if you follow these tips on how to burn belly fat can you expect to have an enviably flat stomach. You should be able to see results in a short time if you really put in concentrated efforts.

3 Super Foods That Burn Belly Fat
Don't feel bad if you were one of the millions of people around the world who packed on a lot of weight over the holiday season. You are definitely not alone. The most important thing is to forget last year, put it in the past and make a new goal to start today with a new and positive healthy eating plan. The three foods that I am about to recommend to you are the types of foods that you should be looking to implement into your meal plan each day.
The first food off the rank is Turkey. This may seem a funny choice for some because it may have been something you over-indulged in at Christmas time but trust me, it is worth adding into your healthy eating plan. This is because Turkey is one of the best meats that you can eat. Turkey is one of the leanest meats and the protein content is very high and that results in a great boost for your metabolism. The end result with an increased metabolism is fat burning galore. Bye, Bye belly fat!
My second choice, well it is more a group of foods this time, are your greens. Most people normally have some variety of greens each night with their dinners and for great reasons too. As far as nutritious value goes you can never go past any green vegetable as a great healthy eating choice. Great choices are going to be broccoli, green peas, green beans, spinach and the list goes on. The main thing is to pick what tastes great to you.
My final super food for you is something that doesn't actually classify as a food but I'll make an exception in this point because it is something that you should always have with each of your meals if you ever want to burn your belly fat. You may have guessed by now, but it is water. Water helps to increase your fullness and the good news with that is you will not need to eat as much food because your stomach is already partially full from the water.
The best tip for you is to drink a full glass of water before you sit down to eat and straight after your meal. Drinking a glass after your meal is beneficial because it will help you from going back for another serve of dinner. Seconds are guaranteed to add inches to your belly, definitely not reduce it. These three tips that you have just discovered will help you still enjoy your meals like any normal person but when implemented correctly will help you burn your belly fat at the same time. Surely a win-win situation right?
