RULE 1: Avoid or strictly limit refined processed carbohydrates on most days.
This type of carbohydrate is the major cause of insulin resistance, fat accumulating around the stomach or abdomen, unwanted weight gain, obesity, heart disease, and many other diet related diseases. You can find a list of refined processed carbohydrates awaiting you at the bottom of this page.
RULE 2: The exception is a once-a-week cheat day. For at least one or two meals on that day, it's best to consume some [high gylcemic index] carbs and fat.
Please do not continue to eat until you feel stuffed. Stop eating when your hunger disappears.
RULE 3: To lose belly fat fast, I recommend both cardio and strength training.
It takes about 20 minutes to begin burning fat, your mild fitness exercise should last longer than 30 minutes to ensure that you are burning fat.
You should keep your heart rate between 60 and 65% of its maximum while exercising.
