Belly Fat Cure

I started watching what I was eating today according to the Belly Fat Cure book. I did fine on carbs and sugar,but went way over on calories,fat, and sodium. I selected three recipes from the book to make. Anyone have the same problem and know what might help?

The cure for belly fat is a calorie deficit. We all lose fat in different places at different times, based largely on genetics, you can't spot reduce. Calories should be the main thing you worry about - if you want to follow a diet books macro breakdown or goals, that's fine, but without being in a calorie deficit, you aren't going to lose fat from anywhere.

Authors try to make it sound complicated to sell books . Get your calories in line first, then prioritize whatever else you want to try after that. Good luck!

going over on calories will cause weight gain if its a surplus of calories. fat comes off where it wants when it wants in a calorie deficit. as for knowing why you went over we have no idea and I doubt many will have the same problem and most of us to lose weight follow a deficit of calories. most here dont use books like these as you cannot spot reduce fat.

you also wont lose 4-9lbs every week either. weight loss is not linear and for most more than 2 lbs a week is not sustainable and sugars dont contribute to belly fat,an excess of calories contribute to putting on fat. the book is just a fad diet. you can lose weight and still eat fruits and other things this book says to cut down or avoid. sugar and carbs dont cause excess fat or weight excess calories of any kind do.

this book has a LOT of false claims. just enter you stats into MFP,set it to lose at least 1lb a week or less if you dont have a lot to lose) and eat to your calorie goal and weight should come off. more than 2lbs a week is even too much for many obese people.if you lose 9 lbs in a week a lot of that will be water weight and not fat.

The problem - the book? Throw it away, and just eat food you like, but less.
