i was recently at my doctors and explained how i was on a diet to lose some stomach fat. she said that in order for me to completely lose the fat i need to give up what i love the most, rice and bread being my nationality (Portuguese) its soo difficult to! so what im trying to ask, is do you think she is right? do i need to get rid of those,like, completely?

That doctor doesn't sound like she knows what she's talking about.. If that was the first place you gained weight, it shall be the last the weight leaves from0

I Was At 171 Pounds, Now Down To 159 In 3 Weeks And I Eat Bread Everyday, Even Steamed White Rice Every Now And Then. Of Course You Don't Want To Just Eat Any Bread. I Eat Whole Wheat Rounds...0

whoa who ladies lets not be too hasty. You should check to see if you have a gluten allergy first. Because if you do then your doctor is right if that is what they meant. If they think you have a gluten allergy then I would try to remove them to see if that helps any. If it does then yeh you have it. However gluten allergies is usually wheat barley and rye. The rice thing is a bit weird but I would recheck with them and see what they meant.

There's no diet or exercise that will make you lose fat on one specific area. If you want to tone, strength train. If you want to lose weight, eat at a deficit.0

All of the foods that put you over your calorie limit.0

this is also extremely true but definitely check and see what they meant first. I would hate to say ignore them and you actually end up having an allergy0 -
You can't target where you lose, whether it be through exercise or diet. You just have to eat at a deficit and eventually it will come off. There's no magic food or crunch etc that can cause you to lose in that area.0

Why would a doctor say fat if they really meant bloating? If they meant bloat from allergies, they still aren't technically correct if they call it fat.
I guess maybe. But if my doctor was calling my bloated-ness fat, I might be in the market for a new doctor.0 -

ahahahahah hilarious ^_^
well I just didn't want to jump all over the question without giving it a second thought. We are all in agreement that you can't target a specific area of your body to loose weight and belly fat is nothing more than BF%. It's just it was possible they may have meant something else is all.

Gluten allergies seem to be all the rage now, which whole aisles of the grocery store devoted to highly processed, high calorie and expensive substitutes.0

There are no foods that cause belly fat. Your nationality doesn't influence this either.

Some days by belly fat is accentuated by bloat. That's when I know I ate something weird. Just sayin':ohwell:0

Most importantly, you need to give up all sugar, especially being Portuguese.
And be sure to eat breakfast every day. That will kick-start your metabolism.0
