5 nutritional tips to lose visceral fat !

​

The VITACHECK determined your bodily constitution. A very important parameter is visceral fat that is stored deep in the abdomen, around the organs. It’s important to keep your waist under control. The best way to avoid seeing a doctor is by taking these three factors into consideration: exercise, food and rest/recovery. You’ll find a number of practical nutritional tips below.

​

Apply one tip a week during the next 5 weeks and allow them to pave the way towards ‘healthier’ eating habits.

​

  • WEEK 1) Eat something green every day. Green vegetables contain a lot of antioxidants. Think salad, broccoli, beans, peas, spinach. By introducing a variety of foods you automatically take in a whole scale of vitamins and minerals.

  • WEEK 2) Try filing your plate with mainly natural products this week. Go for as much variation as possible. Try a different vegetable every day. By eating a variety of foods you’re making sure you’re taking in sufficient different vitamins and minerals.

  • WEEK 3) Avoid fast sugars. This week substitute at least one food that contains fast sugars (= high glycaemic index that can be found in cookies, soft drinks, white bread, etc.) with a healthy alternative with slow sugars (= low glycaemic index, such as whole grain bread). The GI or glycaemic index (=score out of 100) gives an indication of how fast carbohydrates are absorbed by our bodies. 

  • WEEK 4) Take a look at your portion sizes and try cutting down where possible. Make at least one of your three main meals healthier this week. For your cooked meals focus on vegetables (50% of your plate should consist of veggies) and prioritise lean meats or fish.

  • WEEK 5) Try going for an entire month without alcohol and support Tournée Minérale or simply drink less alcohol throughout the week. Alcohol is detrimental to the accumulation of abdominal fat.

 

Aside from that make sure you exercise sufficiently and sleep well as both are extremely important contributors to a healthy lifestyle and visceral fat score. So try working on all these things to improve your overall health.  

  • Exercise: Make sure you burn more calories (exercise) than you take in (food). Increase your level of activity.

  • Rest & recovery: a good night’s sleep has a positive effect on weight. Poor quality of sleep influences the accumulation of abdominal fat.
