Can I target belly fat?

CindyScaccia · April 2015

I seem to be gaining all my weight in my belly. I look like I'm pregnant! I was told that this makes me a good candidate for diabetes?! Do some foods cause belly fat? Are there foods I should avoid? How do I get rid of the belly fat?

There is no way to spot reduce belly fat, unfortunately. But that doesn't mean that there's nothing you can do about it. This post on the boards is a really great starting place: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1161603/so-you-want-a-nice-stomach

This! I read that article at least twice a week. I research a lot about health and there is so much conflicting information, especially in the "bro-science" areana. A lot can be discounted, especially those without citations to well formed studies. It's always good to come back to the "So you want a nice stomach" article for grounding.
