Are any of us really happy with our body shape? Would we want to have a flatter stomach without putting in the effort required? Of course we would! But the truth is that learning how to lose fat around the stomach will take a small amount of time but the actual effort required will take longer.

It is very simple to lose the fat around the stomach. Yes, that annoying stubborn belly fat that you see every time you look in the mirror. But you won't like what we are about to tell you because it means you will have to put in some effort. There you go, we said it! But surely the effort will be worth it when you next visit the beach and be proud to take off your shirt.

So how much effort is required?

Well, about an hour a day. That is all it takes. Now before you say to yourself that you can't spare an hour a day, think again. You can do it in the morning or in the evening, we can all spare an hour.

So what do I have to do?

You will break up your week into 2 different types of day. One day's hour will be spent running or walking and the next day will incorporate weight training. Just switch between the two types every day. It is important that you do the full hour each day and not cheat yourself.

What about diet?

Of course, you need to eat healthily each and every day. There's no set rules of what you can and cannot eat, just avoid the junk food and sugary drinks. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables and you will have the energy required without storing any up in the form of fat.

That is the best way to lose fat around the stomach. In actual fact, you'll lose fat from all over your body.
