Loosing Belly Fat


Recommended Posts

Hello All,

 

I am pure-vegan and have been working out regularly for last 2 years. I am able to gain good muscles but there is still no fat loss in tummy region. I follow 5 days a week schedule and do exercises in evening at 5:30pm in following order

Monday: Back

Tuesday: Biceps and Abs

Wednesday: Legs

Thursday: Shoulders and Triceps

Friday: Chest

Saturday & Sunday: Occasional Warm-up.

 

Eating habits:

Morning 10:30am: Cornflakes

Lunch: 12:10pm: 8 Wheat rotis and cooked vegetables with spices

Snacks: 3:30pm: Brown-bread sandwich with corn, tomato as stuffing

After Work-out: A big plate of salad containing sprouts and fruits

Dinner: 10 Wheat rotis, pulses, vegetables and some rice

 

Please do suggest some alteration as required in my lifestyle so that I can flatten my belly.

 

Thanks in advance!

C.O got it right I think.

 

Diet looks ok although low on protein as I see only pulses once a day.

Try to add more pulses or soy products like tofu, soy milk, soy yoghurt.

Replace some carbs like rice in the evening by vegetables to lower your caloric intake and burn fat faster.

Generally, more vegetable is a good idea

 

Personally I lost belly fat just replacing processed stuff by fresh food most of the time. Easy.

Replace for example your cornflakes in the morning by some oats + soy milk, add some seeds/nuts, and a piece of fruit. Wheat rotis can be replace by a sweet potato etc. Find some alternatives you like.

 

Training-wise, you can have 3 weight sessions a week and 2 cardio ones, or 2 weights (enough to keep muscle mass) and 3 cardios (e.g.: 2 quiet and 1 HIIT).

Make sure you alternate between weights sessions and cardio.

Up to you to arrange a schedule depending on your other commitments.

Think I posted something like that recently:

day 1: full body weight lifting 1h

day 2: steady cardio 1h

day 3: rest

day 4: full body weight lifting 1h

day 5: steady cardio 1h

day 6 : HIIT 30m

day 7: rest

I like the exercises that C.O. suggested...rock that core!!

 

Maybe add in some qunioa in to your diet in place of rice. Pick up some other good things like chia (can even just add it to your water while you workout), something more nourishing for breakfast as corn flakes are too processed. Good granola...oh! Just picked up some awesome sounding organic Natures Path Coconut Chia granola from Costco....on sale too! $5. Haven't tried it yet, but good add to go with my breakfast bowl (oatmeal, steelcut oats, fruit, sometimes some bulger, fresh fruit, splash of Almond milk)...

 

For me, dump bit of softness in abdomen was down to food changes and more cardio...
