Going from a fat belly to a flat belly can be easier when you use tricks that help increase your metabolism. You don't have to be born with a fast metabolism to take advantage, either. Here are some fat burning tips to help you achieve your flat belly goals.

Tip Number One - Avoid junk food like the plague. Nothing packs the fat on faster than eating junk foods and fast foods. If you want a hamburger, make it yourself. This will help you control the portion, skip the bun or make it whole grain, and add plenty of veggies. At the same time you won't be tempted by the smell of fat fries.

Tip Number Two - Eat plenty of fresh, raw fruits and veggies. These fat burning foods will help raise your metabolism. Start by eating fruits in the morning before other foods. This is when your liver is best at burning fat and fresh fruits help your liver do this even better.

Start your later meals with a green, raw salad. This gets your digestion revved up to digest the rest of the food. A stronger digestion means a faster metabolism, and a faster metabolism burns more fat.

Tip Number Three - Eat more protein. Most of us don't eat enough to get that flat belly and many of us eat too much at once when we do, which can pack on the pounds. Avoid this problem by eating smaller portions 5-6 times, spread throughout the day. To find the right portion for your body, keep the size of the serving about the same size as your palm.

Don't miss out on the fat burning ability of this technique. Your entire body is made of protein including that all important, fat burning muscle. Protein also helps your liver detoxify, which frees it up and enhances its fat burning ability!

Lean proteins to choose from include turkey, chicken, lean beef, tempeh, fish, almonds, garbanzo beans and eggs. Healthy fish can include salmon, halibut, tuna and tilapia.

Tip Number Four - Flush away your belly fat by drinking 6-8 glasses of cold water. Cold water naturally raises metabolism while flushing fatty toxins at the same time. Be sure to spread these throughout your day.

Tip Number Five - Take your EFA's. These are essential fatty acids, known as the Omega-3's and Omega-6's, that your body needs to survive. These nutrients are essential for your skin, your hair, your heart, your joints, your brain, and can help keep your mood elevated during times of stress. Eating foods with efa's will help satisfy the part of your appetite that craves fatty foods. Most importantly, these healthy fats help your body carry out unhealthy, toxic fat that can accumulate around your mid-section.

Foods that will supply these important nutrients include walnuts, salmon, halibut, tilapia, tuna, hemp seeds, flax seeds, olive oil, avocadoes, and coconut oil. If you want extra, take an Essential Fatty Acid supplement from your local health food store.

Tip Number Six - Exercise first thing in the morning, before you eat. If you eat first, your body might burn the calories from the food you just ate. If you eat on an empty stomach, your body is forced to burn the stored fat, which is what it is there for. Be sure to drink your water first!

Tip Number Seven - Here's another exercise tip... jump on a trampoline or rebounder. Rebounding exercise is done on a mini trampoline designed to safely use every day. This type of exercise will help increase circulation of your blood and lymph, both which can help carry out fat trapping toxins.

To make this exercise work even better, jump for two minutes at a time, anywhere from 5-10 times each day. Studies show that the entire lymphatic system can start moving toxins, including toxic fat, out of the entire body in just two minutes.

Use some or all of these fat burning tips to reach your goals - but of course the more you do the sooner you lose fat. All of these fat burning techniques can help you lose weight, rid your body of unhealthy and even dangerous fat, and get your belly from fat to flat in just weeks.
