Busting Belly Fat

Clean eating. As many others have mentioned, you can't spot reduced, but if you eat clean (that means nothing processed, no refined sugars, nothing bleached, etc.) it's supposed to really help with fat reduction all over. That and eating at a deficit, of course.

Try adding some strength training along with your cardio.

The stomach may be a problem area for you (it is for me), but if you keep up good habits it WILL come off eventually. As they say, "abs are made in the kitchen" - a clean diet really is essential to losing the last of that fat.

I've never heard "abs are made in the kitchen"..i love that! Thanks for your reply~

What do you mean by body brushing? Also where do you find the raspberry and chia seeds?

Alcohol is the only thing I've heard of that has been shown to produce belly fat. Some people claim that grains, sugar or carbs in general cause belly fat, but I've never seen any science to back up that claim. If you have sensitivity to gluten or a metabolic disease that could cause bloating, but that's not the same as fat.

Exercise will get rid of it.

Can't target belly fat BUT, core work helps. I've been doing Ripped in 30 and lost 1.5inches in my tummy in just 10days

wow! good for you. I will check this out!

I have been doing 30 day shred and I have lost 3 inches in the widest part of my belly, and 2 inches on my upper waist. People have really noticed the difference in my belly. But It wasn't instant. Didn't notice till the end of level 2. Plus I havn't done the 30 day shred in 30 days. I have taken my time with it. Started April 9th, I am on level 3 day 3. I have 7 more work outs left. I have been doing it at my own pace.

Do you have the website for this? I would like to check it out. Thanks!

It's a work out dvd by jillian michaels, you can buy them at walmart for about $9. I suggest 30DS first, and than Ripped in 30....there is A LOT of success stories on here. I lost 1.4lbs from 30DS and 15 overall inches, and when I'm done with RI30 i'm hoping for the same

Well, I don't drink alcohol so that can't be it. I do have a glutten intolerance, but sadly, it is fat not bloating that I need to get rid of!

Thank you~

I'm replying to a really old thread here, just to see if I can cause some trouble.

As many others have said, you can't target a certain area of fat on your body. You just have to lose weight by eating at a calorie deficit and exercising and be patient. Also as others have mentioned, strength training is important. Don't rely on just cardio.
