Be sure that you drink plenty of water. You should consume an amount of fluids equal to half of your weight in pounds each day. For example, if you weigh one hundred fifty pounds, be sure that you drink seventy five ounces of fluids daily.

Avoid or limit alcohol. Alcohol stresses the liver. The liver has a primary role in the deposit, breakdown and elimination of fats.

Chromium picolinate, white bean extract, and conjugated linoleic acid supplements may enhance the loss of fat.

Get Enough Sleep

Recent studies show that missing sleep impairs the body’s ability to metabolize sugar properly. Instead of using the sugar to keep the processes of the body working, the body stores the sugar. As a result, fat storage increases. In addition, levels of the hormone cortisol are skewed when sleep is insufficient. If cortisol levels are insufficient, your body “thinks “ it is starving so it holds on to abdominal fat even if you are exercising your abdominal muscles.
