    You can't spot reduce. Your body will eventually get to using the fat on your belly, but it is often the last place to go.

    Eat at a Caloric deficit.
    Incorporate some exercise that you like - a mix of cardio and strength/resistance training is probably best.

    Lather. Rinse. Repeat.


    Seriously - that's it.

    I suppose I meant to say what are some foods or tricks to assist in the fat loss process?

    Were you not posting some green tea junk in the other thread ? Just no. And no.

    The trick is to maintain a calorie deficit while lifting heavy stuff.

    Eat at a deficit and it will come off. We all lose fat from different places on the body at different rates. My legs are like twigs! But the fat is also coming off my belly, just not at the same rate as my legs and arms. Be patient and you'll lose the belly fat with time.

    there are literally none. Anything that tells you otherwise is using marketing to separate you from your money for false hope. Eat less than you burn and you will lose body fat. add in exercise and lose it quicker.

    There are absolutely no foods, drinks, supplements or tricks to making your body lose weight faster. Eat at an appropriate calorie deficit, include some form of strength training, get adequate protein, and have patience. It gets easier to make progress when you understand that there aren't short cuts.

    Bingo

    There are no tricks per say however its important to what you are eating it takes your body longer to break down fats and protein. Also complex carbs over simple. Try to eat a diet that is 40% protien 30% healthy fats 30% carbs mainly complex

    You're going to have to figure that one out on your own. We could all tell you what we do and it would vary from person to person. Experiment with different things to find the best filling combinations. Some people need lower carbs and others need to keep sweets in to keep them on track.

    I agree, it's all in the math. Calorie deficit.

    I just didn't know where to start but calorie deficit and strength training will definitely be my start, the rest I will play around with. Thank you.

    Try having some protein and vegetables with each meal. It's generally a good way to feel full with an appropriate amount of calories.
