Best way to lose belly fat?

Moderate Caloric Deficit + Work (Cardio and Compound Lifts) + Patience.

You can get there with 1 and 3, but probably would be happier with your results if you incorporate all 3.

The body burns fat from wherever it wants, no matter the exercise. You can do 10,000 planks a day, but if there's fat on other areas of your body that it wants for fuel....it'll take it. That's why isolated ab exercises aren't the most efficient exercises for burning abdominal fat. They're good for core strength, but have low calorie burns. Compound movements have higher caloric values, and still work the core as it is engaged (squats, dead lifts, etc...) You'll notice that many individuals on here do little to no isolated abdominal work.

If you want to cut processed food, go ahead....if not, that's fine as well. IMHO it's more about moderation than cutting food out of your diet. If you like it and want it, just make sure it fits your calorie goals.

Thank you, this is helpful, too. I'm really going to focus on beefing up my cardio.

Lift heavy weights, do HIIT cardio, and keep your macros in check. If you get your macros properly configured, you eat a flexible diet that works for your life. Processed foods aren't evil, they are just foods.

I am sorry, but you are far from the truth on that.

Sorry but I'm not one to take the "Huffington Post" as a source of quality information. I stick to peer reviewed medical journals.

I guess you will accept the Harvard Health Publication and Harvard Medical School?

"...60% of world deaths, is clearly related to changes in global dietary patterns and increased consumption of industrially processed, fatty, salty and sugary foods"...

And there are plenty more sources that proof that processed foods are bad for your health.

What I am REALLY surprised about is that somebody could possibly deny this! Ths is common knowledge and you can read this in any (!) proper research source.

Can you quote me one proper site that says processed food is "healthy"?
