What are my best options for losing belly fat?

Along with adding cardio ... you should add weight lifting. Build muscle to increase your metabolic rate.
Lifting weights and building muscle is a great idea however the amount your metabolism increases from each lb of muscle added is basically meaningless.0 -
From everything I've read, to lose belly fat you must cut out all the white foods; White bread, rice, sugar, pasta, potatoes, flour.
Whole grain bread is OK, but the refined white foods turn to sugar and go around the middle. Sweet potatoes are great for you, as is whole grain brown rice. And Yep!! no beer!0 -
Random list? I cut those things out because they turn into sugars inside the body.
Nearly everything you eat turns into sugar inside the body....0 -
Almost same stats here with same goals...
modest calorie deficit (I'm about 1/2 Lb per week). Strength Training. Some HIIT sprints 1-2 times weekly...maybe a little recover cardio on your lift days. Here's basically what my routine looks like.
Cardio:
A - 3 mile Run
B- Sprint HIIT
Strength 3x5:
A - Squats, Bench, Dead-lift, Bosu pushups, Pull-ups, core work
B - Squats, OH Press, BB Rows, Pull-ups, Dips, core work
So it looks like...
Week 1:
Mon - Cardio A
Tues - Strength A (maybe a 30-45 minute walk sometime during the day)
Wed - Cardio B
Thurs - Strength B (walk)
Fri- Cardio A
Sat - Strength A (walk or cycle)
Sun - rest but generally active
Week 2:
Mon - Cardio B
Tues - Strength B (walking)
Wed - Cardio A
Thurs - Strength A (walking)
Fri - Cardio B
Sat - Strength B (walking)
Sun - rest but generally active
And so on and so forth...
Having your diet in check and strength training are 1A and 1B important.
Has this routine been working on your belly fat? This is my main area of concern, it has gone down a lot, but I am happy with my arms/back/legs/butt and extremely UNHAPPY with my belly. I have been looking for a better way to organize my s trength and cardio so that I dont over do it on any one day and end up NOT working out the following day. Just wondering if this has been working for you0 -

Reasonably good advice, as whole foods (unprocessed) are better for a few reasons, but highlighted points are just wrong0 -
