How tough is it to lose tummy fat? Well, it's the last fat to go, which might be an indication of toughness. Your tummy will shrink as you lose weight, but to get a lean chiseled look, you will have to bring your body fat levels down near the single digit margin.

Tummy fat manifests differently in each individual. Men, for the most part, gain weight in the stomach region, first. For most women, fat begins showing in the thigh and butt areas. There are exceptions, of course, but all the same to make that tummy tighter and firmer, weight loss must occur in all areas.

A small change in diet and daily habits can have an astounding weight loss and body firming effect. Depending on what activities you engage in, and even "more importantly" what activities you disengage doing can mean the difference between weight loss success and failure.

If you're not currently exercising, you may want to begin incorporating a daily walk of about 30 minutes after your last meal. This jumpstarts your metabolism and helps shuttle that food into your cells for energy use. Weight loss begins with small efforts. It's not prudent to push too hard at the beginning of any new weight loss program.

Let's dispel the big myth: You cannot spot reduce fat. What that means is, if you watch those late night infomercials and see them advertising an abdominal-concoction, don't buy it. Working your abs six days a week, as a general rule, will not remove the fat that covers them.

For even faster weight loss and tummy fat reduction, cut out late night eating. Do not eat within 2 hours of your bedtime, whenever that may be. Drink more water, 10 to 12 cups daily. Cut down on sugary sodas. If you absolutely have to drink a soda, go for the diet version. If you don't like diet, don't drink soda.

Your body will lose fat evenly, over time. The good news is you don't have to change the whole world. For maximum weight loss to occur you only need consistency, to do the same things over and over again. These simple weight loss tips will get you started and help you consistently lose more and more tummy fat, as long as you stick with them.

Good luck!
