Having excess belly fat is an enormous problem for many of you, and carrying it around for a long length of time may cause you to develop cancer or diabetes. There are lots of ways that everyone is familiar with to lose weight in general, but a lot of people are interested specifically in how to get rid of belly fat. Is that possible? A healthy diet is also a good idea. So, I've summarized here a list of things you should take into consideration if you're serious about losing that tummy:

1. Saturated fats must be cut back on. Don't avoid good fats, limit only saturated fat; smaller servings may be taken of fatty meat/dairy products, switch to low fat varieties, bake rather than frying and use extra virgin olive oil.

2. Another technique of getting rid of belly fat fast would be to learn how to cook your own meals instead of always buying them from your favorite store or restaurant! Doing this will bring control right back into your life, as YOU will be the one who decides to eat (or disregard) certain foods from your diet.

3. Did you know that getting less than four hours of sleep every night makes you seventy percent more likely to be obese than those who get nine hours? Studies have shown this time and time again. The reason for this is that the chemical leptin, which acts as an appetite suppressant and lets your brain know that you are full, is decreased by sleep deprivation. It can also lower insulin, which helps the body to regulate your blood sugar.

4. No matter who (or how good looking) the drinker is, beer is bad for a number of reasons. The most obvious reason is the caloric content of beer. The less obvious reasons are the inflammation of the pancreas and liver, and the bloating that often accompany the over-consumption of alcoholic beverages; this includes alcohol mixed with sweet, sugary liquids like soda. This is one of the best natural weight loss.

5. Eat few small but balanced meals everyday. Include fruits, vegetables, and grains (multiple servings), meat/dairy products (once or twice). It increases metabolism and is better than 3 large meals in a day. Don't follow any low-carb, or low-fat diet/ grapefruit diet/ soup diet or any such thing that restricts macro-nutrients (protein/ carbohydrates/ fat) as that would only decrease metabolic rate which would make you fatter again after you begin to eat normal.

6. Get rid of stress unless you like looking at that pot belly on your stomach. Whenever you're stressed out or in a situation that is pretty intense, your body will trigger a hormone that is called Cortisol. When Cortisol is released in excess quantities, it will begin to accumulate (as fat) in the worst area that you can imagine, which is your stomach!
