Health Nutritionists and Fitness Gurus always preach that there’s no magic pill or easy way to lose bell fat. However, with the right diet and healthy lifestyle changes, these 6 daily life hacks will help get started on how to lose belly fat. Hack #1 Start Smart and Wake up Early According to research from the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northweste University, adding an extra hour of sleep may be bad for your health and well as your job. The study shows late sleepers consume about 248 more calories and likely to eat unhealthy throughout the day. Research shows that eating half a grapefruit before meals may help reduce belly fat as well as lower cholesterol levels. Those who consume a red grapefruit before breakfast, lunch and dinner may see results of their waists shrink up to an inch within a six-week span. This is due to the vitami C and phytochemicals contained in the grapefruit. Hack #2 Stay Hydrated We constantly hear about how important water is to losing weight and belly fat, though not many of us actually consume the Doctor’s daily recommended serving every day. By drinking eight glasses (64 oz.) of water per day, our body replaces the body fluids we tend to sweat out as well as keeping us satiated. Try to maintain optimum hydration by carrying a water bottle everywhere you go. This will help you avoid sodas and sudden hunger craves. Try switching your morning coffee to Green tea. The compounds called catechins are fat bell burners that burn adipose tissue by speeding up metabolism and increasing the release of fat cells. Hack #3 Eat the Right Food Skip the endless variety of delivery options and prepare your own meals. If you’re worried you don’t have enough time to spend cooking every day, try to “soup-ify” or “salad-ify” leftovers for a fast and easy way to prepare your meals. When you make your own meals, you have the power to control the ingredients and portion size of your meals. Add leftovers of roasted chicken or meat onto a bowl of mixed vegetables, or add the leftovers to a broth to make a delicious stew. Cut back on starchy vegetables like broccoli, Brussels, and cauliflower that may cause bellies to bloat. Choose healthier options like pineapples and papaya, which contain enzymes to aid in digestion and break down proteins. Honeydew melons have a diuretic property that helps fight water retention. Keep your body on track by displaying healthy foods around the kitchen, rather than junk food. The more fruits you see, the more tempted you are to continue healthy eating rather than going for soda. Hack #4 Change the Size of Your Plate Downgrade your plate with a smaller size, and opt for blue colored plates. A recent study at Cornell University’s Food and Brand Lab served food to diners on a 10-inch plate rather than a 12-inch which ultimately had the diners consume 22% fewer calories. By using the Delboeuf Illusion, portions will feel larger in size when they are placed on a smaller surface. Not only does the size matter, but the color helps us eat less too. When the color of your plate contrasts with the color of your food, chances are you may end up eating less. You can also use this powerful tactic if you want to trick yourself into eating healthier foods. Serve your meals or salads with a green plate might be the key to helping you finish your serving of veggies. When you give into cravings, try sticking to single-servings. The smaller portions will satisfy your craving without the extra calories. Hack #5 Take the Long Way Exercise is essential if you plan to lose weight. While the strict regimen of crunches and sit-ups are very beneficial for the stomach, opt for more variety of exercises to achieve optimum health and maximum weight loss. Opt for light exercises such as taking stairs instead of the elevator or riding a bicycle, as both can provide enough fitness to help burn belly fat with diet and weight loss news. Hack #6 Sleep Early Research shows that chronic sleep deprivation can ultimately lead to weight gain. The time we go to sleep is just as important as getting the recommended eight hours a night. When we train our bodies to sleep late, this adjusts the circadian rhythm of y our bodies which help regulate metabolic functions. Our body needs an average of 7-8 hours of sleep in order to function normally during the day. Conclusion Remember, the first step to losing weight is to believe truly you can make a healthy change in your life. By controlling your cravings, sleeping early, eating better and exercising more often, a positive attitude and diet may be the only supplement your body will need to achieve successful weight loss and lose belly fat.

As a member of The National Writers Union for many years, I have been aware of the problems experienced by educated, professional writers. Many have been deprived of their contracted fees. Others have had their writing plagiarized or syndicated without their consent and without payment to the writer by unscrupulous publishers and authors. But the Writers’ Union has done something about that. Jointly, as a group, they have managed to fight for the rights of individual writers.

Reawakening love IS possible. It happens all the time. Just when you most feel like giving up, letting go and moving on, stop and reevaluate before leaving. Yes, there are some relationships that have truly run their course. Perhaps the reason for connecting no longer exists and both would be happier elsewhere. But very often, two people reach an impassem, an inevitable butting of heads and personality differences, and instead of working through the issues they just give up and leave.

What do YOU believe are the 3 causes of all relationship problems? * Inadequate Money? * Not enough or too much Sex? * Friends interfering? * Family triangles and intrusions? * Poor communication? * Emotional Imbalance? Relationships are more complex than many of us care to admit. We choose a person who attracts us because of the way they look, behave and feel. And, inevitably, as we get closer and know each other better, those very same previously wonderful qualities can become a thorn in our side.

Ever since I began seeing my private therapy and coaching clients, over two decades ago, I have been longing to work with a Virtual Assistant. In fact, I wanted this type of personal assistance to help me cope with my family, my relationships, my career path, and even my health many years before this type of service became available online. When I was single, I would often choose a partner who looked good physically or sounded wonderful at first but proved to be either emotionally or financially bereft – and I thought I had made another “bad” choice.r
