If you follow a few simple guidelines, with a little perseverance, you will do it. It may take a little time, but it will be well worth the trouble. Motivate yourself by keeping your ultimate goal in mind, and every day, as you get closer, it will become easier and easier!

One thing that you will unfortunately have to understand is, it is not really possible to spot reduce. There are a few things you can do to target a specific area, but a general slimming down is needed if you want to lose fat waist.

A fat waist is normally just a symptom of a body out of shape and as you lose weight and become fitter, you will regain the body you long for. Keep in mind though; you cannot change your basic shape. You were born with a specific build and that is never going to change. It does not mean though, that you cannot improve on it. You always can! Work with what you've got and become the best you can.

Okay, so now the basics have been established. Now it is time to go to actions. It is now time to make a plan, decide how you are going to make your dream come true and go over to action! Make a plan, stick with it and you will be rewarded with the body you long for and better health as a bonus.

So, what is the answer to "Help! I need to lose fat waist." The answer is a healthy, well balanced diet and moderate exercise. That is the only safe way to go if you want long term, permanent results. Going on a fad diet may make you lose some weight fast, but I promise you, as soon as you eat normal again you will put all the weight back on and some!

The basics of a healthy balanced diet:

The most important part of a healthy balanced diet is that it should include all the food groups and it should not make you eat too little. This is the biggest danger of all. If you eat too little your metabolism will slow down and you will have more and more difficulty to lose weight. Do not fall for all the fad diets out there! You will pay for it for the rest of your life.

Here are the basics:

1. Eat no more than five small portions of carbohydrates, including all the starchy veggies such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and peas. These portions also include all rice, pasta and all other kinds of starch.

2. Eat at least five to six portions of veggies a day. When you want to lose weight, veggies are your best allies. Most veggies are almost free and you can really pig out on them. They can fill you up and you get all the nutrition as a bonus.

3. Even though fruit are very healthy, they contain a lot of sugar and therefore a lot of calories. So, if you are trying to lose weight, you unfortunately have to go slow on fruit.

4. Eat no more than three small portions a day. It is also best not to drink any fruit juice as it really contains a lot of concentrated sugar. Your body needs the fiber in the fruit, so eat your fruit, do not drink it.

5. Try and eat only low fat meat and fish as well as legumes for your protein portions. It is best to concentrate on chicken as your meat. Remember that legumes contain a lot of starch and can be counted either as a starch or a protein. It is also important to remember that in order for your body to use the protein in legumes, you always have to combine it with a starch.

6. Eat only two portions of low fat or fat free dairy a day

7. Limit all fat to no more than two portions a day. A portion is more or less equal to one teaspoon of fat, margarine or butter. You have to read the labels on mayonnaise and other sauces to determine the fat content if you want to include them in your diet. It is a better idea though, to use fat free yoghurt with herbs as a dressing.

8. Drink at least eight glasses of water a day and stay away from all sodas and alcohol as they are loaded with calories.

This takes care of your diet if you want to lose fat waist. For the moderate exercise you can do anything you enjoy for at least thirty minutes at least three times a week. This can be walking, jogging, cycling, and kicking a ball with the kids or anything that increases your heart rate. Do not overdo it if you are very unfit. Start slow and as your fitness level improves you can increase the intensity.

Do all this and you will lose fat waist and improve your health as a bonus!
