How to Lose Extra Fat:

Whether you've recently had a baby, or you just don't have the time, motivation or money to get to the gym every day - there are ways to fight that flab, and maybe with some of my suggestions here, you might learn how to lose extra fat.

Extra fat is normally caused by over eating (or eating the 'wrong' foods) and lack of exercise. If you're eating more calories than what you burn off during your usual everyday activities, then the surplus calories are stored in your body as fat. I think it's important to understand the reasons for this extra fat so that it then becomes easier to understand how to lose extra fat.

The first and best advice I have, and this is from my own personal experience - is to drink heaps of water - it's true, water really is the key to weight loss. I'm talking about 2 litres of water a day! Yep, it means you'll be going to the bathroom more than normal, however, that doesn't last too long. What is really happening is that your body is flushing itself of the water it has been storing throughout all those years of "survival mode". It's getting rid of all the stored water around your ankles, hips, thighs and maybe even your belly! So it's a great thing and if you endure the initial extra bathroom trips for the first while, then eventually the 'flushing' will cease and you will return to normal.

It's important to note - do not drink all the water at once. Set aside 3-4 times a day when you can drink a large glass, and then in-between that, always have a bottle of water with you to sip as you need.
