How to get RID of the belly bulge!!
Contrary to what you might think, getting rid of the belly bulge is all about diet and cardio, rather than strength-training exercises that target the abdominals. This is because belly bulge results from excess body fat, not lack of muscle. The best way to reduce the bulge is therefore to reduce your body fat, and we all know what that requires — diet and exercise, baby!
It is possible to carry extra water weight in your tummy. To get rid of this: try cutting your sodium intake to 1,500 mg a day and increasing your water intake. This will help you reduce water retention and reduce the spongy appearance of belly fat just a bit!
But really, it comes down to healthy eating and consistent cardio workouts. Stick with it, kid — it’ll come off. Just keep at it and be patient with yourself.
So about the sodium thing....on the other side, if you don't have enough sodium in your body to process all the fluid, you may begin to swell. I happens to me in the summer time after I run. I'm not sure if it will happen to you because it doesn't happen to everyone, but if your hands start to look funny and they're swollen, eat some salt! xoxo!
ReplyDeleteJ, I agree with you, we all need to have SOME sodium in our diets. 1,500 mg is plenty though, and for most people who have lived on fast and processed for for most of their lives, 1,500 mg of sodium seems like nothing. I know you, and you eat very WELL. :) You may not get enough sodium, so upping your sodium intake makes sense from time to time. It's all about finding a balance within our own bodies. That's what is so difficult!!
