How to jump start belly fat loss

DMarieLVT

So I'm finally starting to reach some of my goals and I'm within 20 lbs of my original goal weight (though it is still a little high and seeing where I'm at now I know I'll have to lose a little more). I'm losing weight everywhere but my belly fat is being particularly stubborn! I'm down 60 lbs but only 3 inches from my stomach which I feel is less than it should be. I log food daily, always watching what I'm eating and trying to stick to macros set for me. I exercise 6-7 days per week, always 30-45 minutes of cardio and then heavy lifting every other day. What am I doing wrong?? I know belly fat is hardest to lose but I feel like it hasn't budged recently and it's discouraging. Any help or insight would be very much appreciated! Thanks

Unfortunately you can't really do anything to cause fat to lose from a specific area.

It sounds to me like you're having a great deal of success so far based on your weight loss.

If I were you, I would focus on continuing your current habits, continue to lose at a reasonable pace, and focus on long term sustainability.


EVENTUALLY you will start losing from your problem areas if you keep losing weight.


Good luck.
