5 Five steps to remove fat from the abdominal area at home

1) Lose weight

The easiest way to reduce visceral fat is to lose weight. "Weight loss alone can effectively reduce visceral fat," says Scott Butch, MD, a obesity medicine specialist at the Cleveland Clinic. "By losing 10% of your body weight, you could lose up to 30 pounds." % of belly fat.

2 ) Regular exercise

Experts say diet alone is not enough to reduce belly fat, adding regular exercise is crucial. Moderate aerobic exercise reduces visceral fat even if you don't lose weight.

3) Avoid sugar

Visceral fat in the belly feeds on sugar, which makes fat cells form faster. The Cleveland Clinic says that a soda-heavy diet not only increases calorie intake, but also affects how belly fat grows. So reduce the amount of sugar in your diet — including sugary drinks and juices, refined grains, baked goods, and processed foods — and your waistline is likely to follow suit.

4 ) Get enough sleep

Researchers at Wake Forest University found that people who slept five hours or less each night had 2.5 times more belly fat than people who got enough sleep. Experts say that lack of sleep alters the production of leptin and ghrelin, two hormones that regulate appetite, and that can increase feelings of hunger. Not sleeping enough can also lead to increased production of cortisol, the stress hormone that tells the body to keep fat around the belly.

Experts recommend sleeping seven to nine hours a night.
