Nobody likes belly fat. In fact, those who do not have it dread of having it. Those who have it dread - not losing it and the mere thought of it getting bigger can be scary. Belly fat can be frustrating at times because it just look so "ugly" and losing it can be so tough. Plus, both men and women can have it- and it looks unpleasant too across gender, age and race. Some say that a sexy mid section has become the most desired "item" of our generation simply because so few people achieve it.

Losing belly fat varies a lot from person to person. Some can lose it as fast as a week. Others lose it in a month's time. Others just seem not to lose it at all. Whatever time frame you choose, there are different options available in losing stomach fat.

For those who want to get rid of their belly fat fast, there are cosmetic surgery and cosmetic treatments for you. Liposuctions, laser treatments and other therapies are available for you. These types of treatment, however, are expensive and can cost you a lot of money.

Others go the extra mile. They enroll in gym classes and work out four to seven days in a week. Aside from losing the belly fat, they want to gain strength and feel healthy overall. Enrollment in gym classes also costs much but not as much as cosmetic treatments - and it will do a whole lot more for your overall health and well being.

Others still opt to lose their belly fat at home. They do this by reducing the amount of food that they eat and watching their calorie intake very carefully. A well balanced, healthy diet is one of the best ways to lose weight in the long run. They also do their own jogging and exercising - which combined with a healthy diet really speeds up the fat loss process. This is the cheapest way to lose belly fat because you do not have to pay for anything. However, this takes time and often a lot of willpower and persistence.
