Decrease alcohol consumption. If you drink a lot, you will accumulate fat around your waist. Although most people know that alcohol can lead to weight gain, many do not know the degree of impact that alcohol can have. Excess alcohol consumption can really give you a belly. Have you seen people that are slim all over but have a beer belly sticking out? Well, that is the effect of excess alcohol consumption. One gram of alcohol, which can be calculated as one ml of alcohol contains 7 calories. Even thought the amount of calories is smaller than the amount of fat, alcohol calories are completely useless. Alcohol does not contain any nutrients at all. So, the entire amount of calories consumed through alcohol will be stored as fat! If you want to lose weight fast then you need to stop drinking for a while.
Alcohol is also in the form of liquid. That means you can really consume a lot of it in one sitting! It is not to say that you should avoid alcohol completely, but just go for moderation. Do not drink everyday and limit yourself to just one glass of wine or one bottle of beer.
