10 top tips to help you blast belly fat from a mom who has done it!

When we ask the moms in The Healthy Mommy Community about what they have the most trouble with when it comes to losing weight often they say they struggle to blast belly fat.

Annoyingly, belly fat is harder to lose than any other area of fat. It seems patience is a virtue as losing weight from your midsection takes time and effort and unfortunately doesn’t happen overnight.

But don’t despair if you are keen to blast your belly fat, mom Nikita Baxter is here to offer her top 10 tips that helped her blast her belly fat for good!

Read her tips below.

How Nikita was able to blast belly fat

“Hi ladies! My name is Nikita Baxter and I’ve lost 85 lbs following The Healthy Mommy 28 Day Weight Loss Challenges and using Healthy Mommy Smoothies (coming soon to the US!) every day for breakfast.

Most of my weight has been shed from my core! I had a huge, bloated, swollen centre that killed any opportunity for confidence. I looked nine months pregnant, three months post Caesarian!”

“I never thought I would ever see my toes again. At 21 this was a VERY daunting reality. I made the conscious decision to change my life forever and started following The Healthy Mommy! Clean eating, upping my calories, being active every day on my floor with my baby beside me, taking control of my life. Two years on and I have some form of definition in my core! I wouldn’t claim abs, but there’s definitely not as many rolls.”

Nikita’s top 10 tips for blasting belly fat

“Here are my top 10 tips for blasting the belly fat!”

  1. FOOD! It’s so important to fuel your body with the best. This is where The Healthy Mommy played a VITAL role in my transformation. Delicious, clean and EASY family-friendly healthy meals, snacks and drinks.
  2. CALORIES! So many people under-eat thinking this will help lose weight…no! This will only encourage your body to store fat as it thinks it’s in starvation mode. Eating the correct amount of calories for your BMR is incredibly important. Use the app to help you track!
  3. MORNING WALK! I find going for a walk first up in the morning has always helped keep my bloat at bay. I walk before I have my morning smoothie.
  4. PM WEIGHTS! I try to fit in a weight session every afternoon. I don’t tend to target areas but complete a full body workout with dumbbells and a barbell. You burn calories long after the sessions are complete, so I find playing with some weights really boosts my results. The Healthy Mommy app has a fantastic weights section!
  5. WATER! Upping your water intake is imperative! You need to be hydrated for your body to feel nourished and to flourish. Believe it or not – it also reduces bloat!
  6. ENGAGE! It’s incredibly important when doing ‘AB’ exercises, to engage your core properly. If you haven’t correctly engaged, your muscles aren’t activated and ultimately you won’t see results. Correct activation also helps reduce any back discomfort and reduces the chance of injury.
  7. PLANK! You’ve probably heard this a thousand times – that’s because IT WORKS! Tightens, tones and strengthens your core muscles. Everything us moms need.
  8. CONSISTENCY! You need to be consistent. In everything you do! Food, exercise, sleep – everything. It’s important to keep your body in a regular routine to ensure progress. We all have moments, but it’s how we recover from them that determine the impact. Why wait until Monday when you overdo a Friday night? Start Saturday morning! Back on the train.
  9. PLAN! I work full-time. I have a 2 1/2-year-old. My husband works away. I have to plan my days and weeks. I meal prep on a Sunday (lunches and dinners) pack lunches and bags the night before, set alarms for exercise and follow through! If I can’t exercise before daycare pickup, I do it when my son goes to bed. I always find a way to tick off my daily to-do list. Meal plan!
  10. COMPARE! Not just the number on the scales. But the inches around your waist, numbers on your clothes tag, photos! I always compare my very first before photo as it reminds me how far I’ve come, and where I’ve been. It’s so humbling remembering my journey – struggles and successes.
