Ways of Beating Belly fat that causes beer belly.
Lets say, somehow, you have accumulated a quite amount of fat in your belly and protruded into a ‘beer belly’. After reading these articles, you are wondering whether it is possible to reduce your ‘beer belly’ or to flatten your tummy. Sure, there are several ways to get back into shape with a flat tummy. Below are the best ways to cut your beer belly.
1. Exercise.
If you already have a beer belly, don’t worry or blame yourself, doing some tummy exercises such as sit-ups and crunches will be sufficient. Generally, increasing the level of exercises or being active will help cut your protruding tummy. Exercises require consistency; there will be no miracle with just one exercise to deliver wonders.
2. Eat right
Beer belly is manufactured in the kitchen and not not in the gym. As a rule of thumb, eat less calories than you burn. This will be a great step towards cutting ‘beer belly’.
No need for overly complicated dieting regime. Be simple and realistic. You will not cut beer belly overnight but with consistent healthy eating habits you will.
3. Avoid excessive drinking
Beer provides empty calories. If you cannot avoid beer completely, reduce the amount consumed. Switching to wine can also be a good option, but also limit the amount of wine consumed.

Hello.. i have just stumbled on your website and it’s pretty cool and relates directly since i am kenyan. just a point to add on pot bellies… your body will not lose fat only in some specific areas. doing only sit ups or crumps without exercising the whole of your body is frustrating and futile in the end. hey flat belly, six pack, lean mascular body is a lifestyle that involves discipline in exercising and eating right .. and oh also avoiding stress
Thanks Nche for your comments.
You can also eat foods rich in antioxidants to help fight free radicals. Joshua may be you can elaborate more on Antioxidants and free radicals to the readers.

Hi Joshua,
Are there medicine to reduce the beer belly?
What type of beers have less carolies i mean,kilimanjaro,tusker,serengeti,castle,safari all around 4.8-5.8% v/v
Also i have heard some chinese medicine make the ladies to have wide bottoms?is that true?
Hi Mafie,
I do not know of any drug to reduce beer belly other proper diet, exercise or some form of surgery. The lower the alcohol content the lower the calories. But it also depends on the sweeteners used in those beers. Higher the alcohol and sugar content, the higher the calories.
I am just laughing. I have not heard of any drug to expand the ladies bottoms. But I know plastic surgery can achieve that.
How do I develop a six-pack without loosing fat on other parts of the body like the arms?
Hi Joshua
I was wondering why these calories only store in the belly. I am the sad owner of said pot belly, but am slim every where else on my body?
Kind regards
Chris

Thanks for the Part 2 of this….it sounds so simple but trouble is its hard to be applied, i.e by the victims, good thing is, with effort and determination, I believe the beer bellies can be history! Thanks Joshua!
Thanks for the tips on reducing pot belly.
I am 35 yrs, I am occasional drinker of beer, but I don’t take more than 2 bottles on a sitting. On d average, I take like 5 bottles each month. Will that be enough to cause me pot belly? Secondly, can excessively intake of water cause pot belly? Thirdly, can soft carbonated drinks cause pot belly?
