Can I lose belly fat AND build a butt in 4-5 weeks

did you get the belly in 4-5 weeks?

as somebody said , detail body recomposition work is hard and takes months or years not weeks

there are no miracle cures.. its hard work

eating at deficit for fat loss and cardio can help at that.. strength training for body recomposition and echo what others said you can not spot lose.. fat goes away from where it chooses to leave

if it were easy ...................................everybody would do it

Once you've lost some percentage of your body fat, squats alone (body weight at first) will be sufficient to get you the rounder bum. The heavier weights should be gradually introduced once you have proper form so that you don't hurt yourself. Do enough to get your butt to burn and so the next day will be sore. You can even do butt clenches when you're doing dishes and at stop lights, etc.

But like everyone else said already, this won't happen no matter what you do in 4-5 weeks. It took a year with my own body weight to get from flat to round/toned (when I wasn't heavy).

Hey everyone

Here is the situation: belly fatwith 3+ layers- Michelin style FTW

Bum is not flat completely, but it's not nice either. Like you don't see that curve sideways... Shape is not round. Want it to be a lil bigger or at least toned and round


Is it possible to lose body fat yet build a bigger bum in just 4-5 weeks? How ? Please tell me what kind of exercises I need to d because I tried the cardio / strength training combo + eating clean for MONTHS and saw no results I don't know what I'm doing wrong I am so discouraged at this point


PS I am 5'8.5 , 148 pounds

highly doubt you are seeing your body accurately. Your bmi is well within normal. No way you look like the Michelin man. Be patient, eat well, do strength training.

Don't give up! But no 4-5 weeks and even just a couple of months isn't going to do it.

Even while you are trying to lose the fat (since that's going to be what you focus on first I'm assuming) start lifting heavy! Squats, deadlifts, stepups, lunges, you can make your but rounder and stronger doing those. You won't build muscle in a deficit but you can help you body shape a bit by lifting while in a deficit. Then you may need to do a bulk cut cycle to really 'build' a bigger butt if you still want to after you lost your belly.

Direct and easy answer: No.

Your body shape is determined by your genes, no way to change that. All you can do is balance the amount of fat and muscle through dieting and strength training. And it's not going to be easy or quick.

God, I LOATH the term "clean eating"!!!! Enough with it already...especially when talking about using it to lose weight!

4 to 5 weeks? Yeah...never going to happen! It is dang near impossible to build muscle and lose fat at the same time because when you are doing a calorie deficit your body tends to lose some muscle along with the fat.

Lots of squats and lunges to build a rounder booty.

Me too! You can essentially eat whatever you want as long as you aren't over your daily calorie limit.

OP - if you feel like you need to starve yourself then you're going about this in the wrong way. You should never have to starve yourself, you just need to eat at a deficit.

Also, as someone said you can't spot reduce so as you lose fat you will see where your body gains last and first.

Further, if you want to lose fat . . . I did this with high intensity cardio. Some people will say you can lift heavy while losing weight to help build muscle (and let's be clear I DON'T DISAGREE WITH THAT IN ANY WAY) but for me, I've become a runner so I don't do a whole lot of heavy lifting but I do spin twice a week as my cross training and it's amazing for your butt and legs (and no, they don't get HUGE lol).

Lifting heavy is a great way to go as a lot of people have pointed out, but I just think you're looking at this from the wrong way which means you may or may not have the results you want. If you feel as though you're starving yourself and you're eating "100% clean" ("Literally eat nothing but unprocessed foods, veggies, lean proteins no starches, no sugar etc etc and I work out every day or at least 4 days a week and STILL NO RESULTS") I would say you're not starving yourself and you're eating more than you think. Even if you are choosing these foods over highly processed, high carb, etc etc foods but you're eating too much of it, it's still more than your body needs which will lead to weight gain.

Weight loss is 70% diet. If you aren't losing, look at your diet. And by diet, I don't mean the crazy meal plan you go on for 5 weeks trying to lose weight. By diet, I mean the foods you consume.

ETA: a lot of the time, a nice butt with a tiny waist is genetically well placed fat. Some people no matter how hard they work out just don't get that beyonce lookin booty. It does not happen for them. So your body shape may be a factor to consider in this search for your flat stomach and a great butt.

Do some heavy squats, deadlifts.. lift something. Watch the diet and you'll see results overtime. Unfortunately 4-5 weeks is not long enough. You need to make this a lifelong habit if you wish to be and stay fit

You all know she asked the question in August 2014, right? I don't think 4-5 weeks is really an issue at this point.

It depends on how you look at it. Can you lose some belly fat in a month? Sure. Can you make your butt look better in a month? Sure. Can you do both at once? Sure. Be reasonable about your expectations though. They can improve, but it won't be some miraculous, swift process.

I love this answer.
