Here are the steps you need to follow to lose belly fat in 2 weeks.
1. DRINK MORE WATER

It is suggested that at least 2 liters of water should be consumed per day to stay hydrated and to reduce fat stored in the body. Drinking a lot of water before a meal can reduce appetite.

2. AVOID SUGAR & SUGAR-SWEETENED DRINKS
Sugar is half glucose, half fructose, and fructose can only be metabolized by the liver in significant amounts. When you eat a lot of added sugar, the liver gets overloaded with fructose and is forced to turn it into fat. Excess sugar can lead to increased accumulation of fat in the belly and liver. It is recommended to replace the sugar with Sucralose or natural sweeteners if you have sweet tooth.
3. EXERCISE DAILY

4. EAT FIBER-RICH FOODS
Eating plenty of fiber can help with weight loss. Eating more fiber-rich foods, especially viscous fiber can help in reducing not just the belly fat but also overall body weight. These are fibers that bind water and form a thick gel that "sits" in the gut. This gel can dramatically slow the movement of food through your digestive system, and slow down the digestion and absorption of nutrients. The end result is a prolonged feeling of fullness and reduced appetite.
5. REDUCE THE STRESS LEVEL
Stress can make you gain belly fat by triggering the adrenal glands to produce cortisol, also known as the stress hormone. More the cortisol, the more the chances of gaining belly fat. Engage in fun pleasurable activates which can keep the stress levels low.
