How can I lose belly fat and can weightloss supplements help, like Hydroxycuts? What foods can I eat?

Hydrocut does not help in any way, the better method is to increase high intensity cardio activity and combine it with protein supplement. This supplement should be virtually fat free (Cell Tech) is one of the best. The protein increase the bodies ability to burn fat. Make sure your work outs are balanced and you combine weights with you cardio plans.

body fat can be lost thru aerobic activity. When you want to add muscle to a certain part of your body...you can. However, it is not possible to lose fat in certain areas...ie, you cannot direct the fat loss to your stomach and hips. Eat a little less in the way of hi glycemic foods (google it) and eat a little more protein. Exercise a little more...one answer here recommended running which I absolutely agree with. A longer, medium paced run is MUCH better than a shorter faster run. Your body will learn to burn fat as fuel (especially if you cut down on higher sugar/carb type foods) and you WILL LOSE THE FAT. It will be physically impossible for your body not to lose it. Good luck and be patient!

The best way to lose weight is not by pills.  Believe me, I have tried it and what it actually does is slow down your digestion of food..after a couple of weeks use, your digestion will become impaired and your stomach compensates this by producing lots and lots of acid..goes all the way up your throat.  It's a nasty feeling.\n\nThe best way is to eat the right food.  Most overweight people only get contented when they feel full or after eating a lot of food.  You can still eat a lot of food but it has to be vegetables, they don't make you fat no matter how much you eat them.  Fish is good too.  Try to minimize on pork and beef.  A can of softdrink is loaded with a cup of sugar too, if you really want to drink it go for the Diet ones.  Fruit is healthy for you but again you have to minimize on this because it has a lot of sugar in it as well.\n\nGo for at least 30-minute walk/briskwalk every evening.  I noticed that when i do this, my stomach becomes flat when i wake up in the morning.  Plus it gives shape to your legs.  No need for all those exercise positions.  Walking is the best for your blood circulation and wellness of your mind.\n\nWhen you start to lose weight, your body is gonna signal you that it needs replenishing by making you crave ice cream, french fries and other fattening food.  When you resist this food cravings this is really gonna fast track you to losing weight.  You can still satisfy your cravings once in a while but eat something else instead of the fatty foods.\n\nI hope this contributes. :)

How quickly do you need to loose this weight?  My advice, is to first speak to a Dr. or nutritionist.\nBut, this is what has worked for me:\nI just purchased something called CLA from GNC.  The long name is Conjugated Linoleic Acid.  Basically what it does is turn fat from foods into a form of energy, such as glucose.  It has shown to help Type 2 Diabetes, build immune systems, help weightloss, protect against some cancers, and in some cases improve heart health.  Unfortunately, I have also read that it's not great for those with bad cholesterol.\nIt has helped me.  I've lost about 2 lbs. a week over the last couple of weeks.\nAlso, don't eat less, just eat better.  Cut out preservatives, nitrates, nitrites, salt, trans fat (anything that says  partially hydrogenated), High Frutose Corn Syrup, and soda (especially Diet sodas)etc...  Try organic foods, if you don't already.  Eat lean proteins and whatever you do, don't cut the carbs.  It's brain food and our bodies need it.  \nHonestly, I lost 65 lbs in 6 months just by eating better and taking walks.  Walking is the most effective exercise for weight loss and maintenance.  If the weather isn't good where you live, try turning your housework into a work out.\nSorry it's so long winded.  I hope it helps a bit.

yes, for wight loss , a diet rich in proteins with low carbohydrate content and low fat( unsaturated like omega 3 fatty acids) should be taken. a lot of fibre and green vegetables should be included in your diet. try two garlic cloves with a glass of water every morning in empty stomach. it really helps.

You need to burn more calories than what you are consuming. The best way to track this is through a food diary. Sometimes we do not really realize how much we are actually taking in. By having it in writting you get a clear picture of what you are really doing. Also to lose weight especially belly fat try to consume more protein than carbs. I am not talking the Atkins Diet but by just keeping the protein ratio higher you see optimal and quick results. You really need to work your whole body to rid yourself of belly fat. Cardio and weight training together is the best way to go. Alternate between days, one cardio and the next to weight or strength training.

I've lost fifty pounds.\n\nYour body weight is lean-muscle-mass, fat, and water.  When you first start on a diet, you often lose a lot of water weight quickly, especially if you were not eating healthily before.  Exercise may cause you to replace fat with lean-muscle mass, which will make you thinner and healthier (and increase your metabolism), but may increase your weight.  Women also have up-and-down bloating from their menstrual cycle, so you can be losing fat from dieting and exercise without losing weight.  Concentrate less on the day-to-day number on the scale, and more on ensuring that you're eating healthy and exercising, and the number on the scale will eventually catch up with what you're doing.\n\nA pound of fat equals 3500 calories. Weight gain or loss is equal to calories consumed minus calories expended. Simply put, short of amputation or death, diet and exercise is the only way to lose weight. Keep track of what it is you're eating. Look up your Basal Metabolic Rate on an online calculator; if you limit yourself to your BMR - 500 calories/day, you'll lose a pound a week that way -- but make sure you're getting your minimum amount of protein, because protein insufficiency can be very dangerous to your health and make it harder to lose weight. It's easier to cut back on calories if you're eating filling foods that are high in volume (e.g., vegetables and fruits and water-based soups), substituting high-fiber complex carbs for sugar and simple carbs, and drinking lots of non-caloric beverages.\n\nwww.fitday.com might be a useful site for you; it's free and allows you to track your diet and exercise.

I have tried Hydroxycut and lost 15 pounds in 3 1/2 weeks.  The pharmacy ran out of that stuff and now I am on TrimSpa.  With Hydroxycut though I gained muscle as it enhances what ever muscle you already have.\n\nBut that's if you're into taking pills.  If you're not a pill popping person, then I recommend that you keep doing what your doing- it's just takes longer because your body is still trying to break down the stuff that is left behind.  Congrats though on losing 50 lbs- that's great!!!!

You must maintain a healthy lower calorie diet.Eat less carbohydrates and more whole foods and protein.Protein is helpful because it's the highest thermic food.Spread meals out to 5-6 per day rather than 3.\n Diong crunches,sit ups,lying leg raises will help tone but they do not burn fat in a specific area.Do a search for spot reduction myth.\n\nOne of the ways this works is by stimulating new muscle growth thus metabolizing more calories even at rest(about 50 cal per pound of muscle).\nThe fact of the matter is you MUST just stick with it.Following some of the guidelines here will help.\nIt is also unnecessary to drink 8 8 ounce glasses of water per day.\nSearch medical myths 8 8 ounce glasses per day.\n\nCalculate you BMR and consume less calories than you burn.\nDo a search for basal metabolic rate\n\nConsider some low carb protein bars.Stay away from granola and those type snacks.\nThis will dispel that stupid cabbage nonsense among other things.This is excerpted from a Yahoo! Health e mail.\n\nThe following diet myths come up over and over again at my nutrition center. My next two blog entries will help set the record straight. Hope you find this helpful! \n\nIf you eat late at night, the food turns straight into fat.\n\nNot true.If your overall calories are appropriate for weight loss, you certainly can eat something after dinner. Late night calories will ultimately get used the next day (and even while you sleep). \n\nHowever, for the sake of energy, it is always better to eat your calories during the day when your body needs the fuel. Plus, eating consistently throughout the day will stabilize blood sugar levels -- so you’ll feel energized and experience fewer cravings. If you are going to snack after dinner, I suggest choosing something 250 calories or less.\n\n\n\nFresh fruits and vegetables are more nutritious than frozen.\n\nNot necessarily. Frozen can be a great produce option (just avoid varieties with added salt, sugar, and sauce). Frozen foods are picked in the peak of ripeness, then frozen. You can eat them as you need them -- and most of the nutrients are locked in. On the other hand, fresh fruit and vegetables are typically harvested before they ripen, and can have nutrient variability. Also, the longer fresh produce sits around in your fridge, the less nutrients it will contain. \n\nBottom line: Buy both fresh and frozen and eat as much as you can.\n\nCravings are your body's way of telling you it needs something.\n\nThis has never been proven. You normally crave what you like to eat (or smell or see someone else eating). Also, hormonal changes are sometimes responsible for food cravings. Ice cream and pickles anyone?\n\nAny type of water is always better than soda.\n\nNo. There are a few caloric waters with sexy marketing ploys. In fact, some brands have quite a bit of sugar. Always check labels.\n\nCertain foods, like grapefruit, celery, or cabbage soup can burn fat and make you lose weight. \n\nThese are anecdotal stories that have no scientific back up. It’s true these foods are low in calories, but they do NOT actually burn fat .\n\n\nI would love to paste the links here for you but Yahoo! considers that spam and advertising.

Reduce fat: Fats have more than twice the calories than protein or carbohydrate! Our body converts excess dietary fat to body fat. Therefore you should restrict intake of high fat foods. Learn to avoid fat in healthy diet.\nKeep total fat intake between 20 to 35 percent of calories, with less than 10 percent of calories from saturated fatty acids and rest from sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Keep trans fatty acid consumption as low as possible\nLimit sugar & alcohol: Foods with a lot of added sugar and alcoholic drinks are just empty calories. They provide little nutrients to our body. Alcohol slows down the body’s use of fat for fuel and the fat is likely to be stored in the body (Notice the fatty drinkers).\nDrink at least 8 glasses of water every day. Water is without any calorie, filling and refreshing, and is a natural appetite suppressant.\nEat fresh plenty of natural foods such as vegetables, fruits, & whole grains. These foods are packed with vitamins, minerals and fiber and are low in calories.\nEat a low glycemic index, low fat diet. Avoid white foods such as sugar, refined flour, white bread and white potatoes, and animal products from your diet. These are high Glycemic Index foods causing dramatic fluctuations in blood sugar level.\nEat slowly: You eat more if you eat fast, as it takes about 15 minutes for our brain to get the message from our stomach that we have eaten enough. If we eat too fast, we will eat too much before we even realize we're full!\nInclude a low fat protein-rich food like tofu, beans, eggs, and low fat milk, yogurt or cottage cheese with every meal. These foods give feeling of fullness for longer time.\n\nTips For Improving Your Metabolism\n\nBuild your muscles: Do you Know: 1 pound of fat burns only 2 calories a day while 1 pound of muscle burns 50 calories a day !!! The more muscle you build, the faster your metabolism will be, and the more calories you will burn while at rest. When muscle mass decreases, the metabolic rate also drops.\nDo not skip any meal: Eat 5-6 small meals every day. Starving slows down metabolism. Our body will start conserving calories as fat rather than burning them.

Decrease calories, increase exercise.\nMake sure you're eating healthy food. Limit your proteins to lean meats, egg whites, beans, nuts and whole grains.\nCarbs should be all from whole grain sources as well. No refined (white) sugar and flour. \nDrink WATER, tea, and fresh juice (not the stuff that's been on the shelf for a year). No soda.\nEat plenty of fruits and veggies (shoot for about 2-3 fruits and 3-5 veggie servings a day).\nLimit dairy to low/non-fat yogurt and milk, or better yet, cut it out altogether and get your calcium from soy, rice, almond, or oat milks.\nTry to exercise for at least 30-60 mins a day. Cardio is good for fat loss. Run if you can, power walk if you cant.

Here are some great weight dropping tips!\n\nEating Tips\n\nGood things come in small packages. Here's a trick for staying satisfied while still keeping portions under control: Cut high-calorie foods like cheese and chocolate into smaller pieces. It will seem like you're getting more than you actually are.\n\n\nDon't give up dips. If you love creamy dips and sauces, don't cut them out of your diet completely. Just use low-fat sour cream or mayo instead of the full-fat stuff.\n\n\nGet water-wise. Make a habit of reaching for a glass of water instead of a high-calorie snack. It will help your overall health as well as your waistline. Add some zest with a twist of lemon or lime.\n\n\nHerb it up. Stock up your spice rack, and start growing a small herb garden in your kitchen window. Spices and herbs add fantastic flavor to foods without adding fat or calories.\n\n\nSlim down your soup. Make a big batch of soup and refrigerate it before you eat it. As it cools, the fat will rise to the top. Skim it off the surface for reduced fat content.\n\n\nDoggie-bag that dinner. At restaurants, ask the server to put half your entrée in a doggie bag before bringing it to your table. Putting the food away before you start your meal will help you practice portion control.\n\n\nListen to your cravings. If you're craving something sweet, eat something sweet — just opt for a healthier nosh, like fruit, instead of a high-calorie one. The same goes for crunchy cravings — for example, try air-popped popcorn with soy sauce instead of high-fat tortilla chips. It's just smart substitution!\n\n\nEase your way into produce. If you're new to eating lots of fruits and veggies, start slowly. Just add them to the foods you already enjoy. Pile veggies on top of your sandwiches, or add fruit to your cereal.\n\n\nLook for high-fat hints. Want an easy way to identify high-calorie entrees? Keep an eye out for these words: au gratin, parmigiana, tempura, alfredo, creamy and carbonara, and enjoy them in moderation.\n\n\nDon't multitask while you eat. If you're working, reading or watching TV while you eat, you won't be paying attention to what's going into your mouth — and you won't be enjoying every bite. Every time you sit down for a meal, sit down. Chew slowly and pay attention to flavors and textures. You'll enjoy your food more and eat less.\n\n\nTaste something new. Broaden your food repertoire — you may find you like more healthy foods than you knew. Try a new fruit or vegetable. (Ever had jicama, plantain, bok choy, starfruit or papaya?)\n\n\nLeave something on your plate at every meal. One bite of bagel, half your sandwich, the bun from your burger. See if you feel satisfied eating just a bit less.\n\n\nGet to know your portion sizes. It's easy to underestimate how much you're eating. Don't just estimate things — make sure. Ask how much is in a serving, read the fine print on labels, measure your food. And learn portion equivalents: One serving of pasta, for instance, should be around the size of a tennis ball.\n\n\nMake a healthy substitution. Learn to swap healthier foods for their less-healthful counterparts. Find a substitution that works for you: Use skim milk instead of whole milk; make up a batch of brownie mix with applesauce instead of oil; try a whole-grain bread instead of white.\n\n\nBring lunch to work. Packing lunch will help you control your portion sizes. It also provides a good alternative to restaurants and fast-food joints, where making healthy choices every day can be challenging (not to mention expensive).\n\n\nHave some dessert. You don't have to deny yourself all the time. Have a treat that brings you pleasure, but this time enjoy it guilt-free — be sure you're practicing portion control, and compensate for your indulgence by exercising a little more or by skipping your afternoon snack.\n\n\nAsk for what you need. Tell your mother-in-law you don't w
