If you’re embarking on a journey to a flatter stomach, making simple but productive changes to your daily routine can make all the difference in the world. In fact, we spoke with an expert who outlines five ways to start losing belly fat in 10 days. Although melting a significant amount of belly fat takes a lot of work, time and dedication, making the right adjustments to your diet and fitness regime can help you burn calories, improve your fitness and to make progress toward your fat loss goals.
Eat foods rich in fiber.

Incorporating fiber-rich foods into your diet is essential for promote satiety and slow digestion. This, in turn, will help prevent cravings and overeating. “Soluble fiber, in particular, helps reduce visceral fat by stabilizing blood sugar,” explains Ronny Garcia, CPT, Flashing Fitness. “Try eating oats, fruits and vegetables to increase your fiber intake.”
Stay hydrated.


Increasing your H2O intake is essential if you want to lose weight and lead a healthier life. “Hydration supports metabolism, reduces hunger and helps eliminate toxins“, Garcia tells us. “Plus, drinking a glass of water before meals can help you feel full, preventing overeating.”
Reduce your salt intake.


Salty foods like chips may taste good, but they’re not ideal for your waistline. Garcia recommends reducing your salt intake. “High sodium levels cause water retentionwhich can lead to bloating,” says Garcia. “Reducing salt can quickly minimize bloating around the midsection, resulting in a more toned appearance.”
Establish a calorie deficit.


Establishing a calorie deficit is the most crucial aspect of “dieting” and weight loss. “Reduce your calories below your basal metabolic rate, or the amount of calories your body needs to maintain the same weight,” Garcia emphasizes.
Focus on well-balanced eating habits.


A diet rich in whole foods such as lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, healthy fats and whole grains helps regulate blood sugar and provides essential nutrients to your body. “Try to plan your meals [ensure] you get all the nutrients you need,” Garcia suggests.
Eat smaller, more frequent meals.


Make it your mission to eat smaller, more frequent meals. “Eating smaller meals throughout the day can help stabilize blood sugar levels and prevent overeating,” says Garcia. “This strategy helps avoid the sluggishness and bloating that can occur with larger meals.”
Perform low-intensity cardio and resistance training.


A complete fitness routine includes both cardio training and strength training. “Resistance training builds muscle, which increases your resting metabolic rate (RMR): muscle tissue burns more calories at rest,” says Garcia. “Low intensity cardio, [such as] Walking, cycling, or swimming at a low to moderate pace burns calories, which contributes to fat loss.
