7 Habits That Cause Belly Fat


So, you have got yourself an absolutely magnificent bikini to wear for a pool party two weeks from now. Uncertain the best way to trim down in order to do a bit of justice to that awesome bikini waiting in your cabinet? Look at these seven habits which can cause belly fat - and be sure to do the reverse, so you could shape up and lose those unsightly bulges as quickly as possible!

1. Drinking Carbonated Drinks Consistently

Can't continue without gulping down a can or two of soda? If that is you, then you are definitely not being kind to your body. According to researchers, consuming one or two cans of pop daily causes your waistline to increase at least five times faster than those who just drink soda in the span of a week. Diet sodas aren't any better than standard varieties since these comprise artificial sweeteners, which can increase your appetite as much as sugar does. You're doing your body and general well-being a favor by picking a nutritious drink that is also low in sugar content. Since soda just causes you to add pounds without quenching your thirst, why bother drinking it, right?

2. Using a Larger Plate whenever You Eat

Whether it is pay attention to the size of plate, a buffet dinner or simply a regular meal at home you use at mealtime. In a survey conducted among overweight individuals, it was discovered that these people prefer bigger plates over medium or smaller -sized ones. For their food, obese individuals have more space with a large plate size. So, how can this custom cause belly fat? Straightforward. When you have a bigger space to pile up your food, you have a tendency to have more than your body demands, and that results in more fat stored in your body. To prevent this horrible chain reaction, make it a purpose to use smaller plates and resist the impulse to eat or go back for seconds when you've already had enough.

3.

While it is true as you sleep that your body burns some flab, it might be unable to efficiently do so when you go to bed on a full stomach. Aside from eating late, causing belly fat and reclining on a full stomach raises your risk of developing indigestion and acid reflux, since gravity is not any longer able to pull everything in your tummy right down. If at all possible, only bite on fruits in case you feel a bit hungry at night instead of raiding the fridge for sweet desserts to satisfy your craving.
