    Control underwear.

    You canโ€™t spot reduce fat and even v fast loss (think tummy bug) isnโ€™t guaranteed to come off your stomach.

    Hi, you should prioritize protein at every meal and take down sugar and refined carbohydrates right away.

    The bad news is that when you try to lose weight, usually the belly/abdomen is the LAST place the weight comes off from for most people. It's like a sponge that dries out from the edges to the center, the body is similar (for most people) in how it loses weight. My face, hands, arms, legs, etc, all show signs before my torso does.

    But, as stated above, sometime cutting carbs will give you that initial "whoosh" of water weight coming off that can alleviate some bloating.

    Yup, reality stinks. There's no sure way to lose stomach fat fast. Even liposuction takes time to set up and carry out. You might be able to get booked in for one of the expensive newer things that some claim work, like coolsculpting. Does it work? I dunno. But reportedly if it does work, it still takes weeks/months.

    You don't say what your timeline is. If you have a few weeks, you can probably average a pound a week loss if you're disciplined about it. If you're lucky, some of it will be stomach fat, but where it comes off is mostly genetics, and as others said, stomach fat is the last to go for a lot of us.

    The best you've got is: Lose a bit, use shapewear, improve your posture if you can because poor posture makes stomach fat look more prominent (and posture can be a little faster to fix). Sure, reduce carbs to a minimum, see if that reduces bloat. Maybe, maybe not. If you have any food sensitivities that make you bloat or give you constipation, don't eat those things for a while.

    That's about it. Good luck.

    P.S. Maybe think about pursuing some fat loss over the longer run, so you don't end up in this situation again in future? As a bonus, it's likely to have health benefits, and make you feel better physically as well as psychologically.

    Here's how to focus on the most important areas.

    • Instead of cutting fats, try cutting carbs.
    • Consider an eating plan rather than a diet.
    • Continue on your way....
    • Raise weights...
    • Learn to read labels...
    • Steer clear of processed meals.
    • Pay more attention to how your clothing fit than to the scale.
    • Spend time with friends who are health-conscious
