Can You Burn Belly Fat in 10 Days? Your step-by-step guide to dropping belly fat fast.
Fat loss takes time, and the best results come slowly -- 1 to 2 pounds a week. Burning off a significant amount of belly fat in 10 days is practically impossible. Instead of following a crash diet, use the 10 days to jump-start a healthier diet and exercise program to help you trim belly fat, a dangerous kind that puts you at greater risk of developing cardiovascular disease, dementia, breast cancer in women and type 2 diabetes. If the dietary changes and exercise strategies are dramatic for you, you may shed a couple of pounds of fat as well as some excess water weight in 10 days.

Get Your Body Moving

Exercise helps you reduce your waist size, but you're unlikely to see the dramatic results you seek in 10 days. Adopt a physically-active lifestyle, not just a 10-day fitness binge. Moving more, through at least 30 minutes of cardiovascular activity most days and extra movement like taking the stairs and pacing while taking phone calls, helps you burn a greater number of calories daily. To see faster results, exercise for a longer duration and at a higher intensity. Check with your doctor before starting an exercise program, especially if you're new to working out, have a preexisting medical condition or are coming back after a long hiatus.

Sit-ups aren't going to slim your tummy in 10 days; they'll just strengthen the muscles that lie underneath it. A comprehensive strength-training program that targets all your major muscle groups won't bring about results in 10 days either. But, when done consistently for Several months, strength training will start to change the ratio of fat to lean mass within your body. The more lean mass you have, the healthier and stronger your body. A leaner body also burns a greater number of calories at rest, which helps you keep visceral fat at bay.
