    I know a lady who lost 35 lbs on the Belly Fat Cure diet. She looks very good now. She now follows the plan for breakfast and lunch only to maintain. She has done this for the past 2 years with great success. Good luck to you on what ever you decide to do.

    I've been looking into CLA - it apparently helps to rid belly fat after steady use for a month or so. I don't think it's a maguc cure but it's supposed to help.

    1 hour of high intensity interval training 6-7 days per week, core work, lots of water and healthy eating. Unfortunately there's no magic pill to get rid of belly fat, but if you work hard and stay regimented you will see your tummy shrink and tone :)

    thanks for the input, i'm not actually looking for a "miracle" to get rid of belly fat, the belly fat cure is a "lifestyle" where you limit sugar to 15 grams and carbs to 120grams. it's for wt loss, I've been stuck at my wt for about two months, lookin to get the scale moving. I run 3 miles a day and work 12 hr days in a seriously busy ER, so I get my cardio!

    I know that when I limit my carbs to about 100g per day, it helps shrink my belly. Whether that's just getting rid of bloat or fat, I don't know or care, as long as my tummy is flatter. :-P But yeah, it's maintainable, and will shrink your belly if you stick with it.

    My husband and I are on this now. We did this last fall for about 2-3 months and lost a lot. We cheated during the holidays and most of this year, but neither of us gained much back (like 5-7 pounds.) I love it. I still get to eat what I want only healthier choices. I feel so much better as well.
    You are more than welcome to friend me and I can share with you what all we do.
    I am looking forward to getting Jorge's newest book this weekend. A lady that I know got an early copy of it and just last week, lost 7 pounds.

    caloric deficits are the only cure

    Exactly what Jordan said. Sorry guys but the only "cure" there is is long term calorie restriction. There are new studies saying cardio on top of calorie restriction will increase the ammount of fat loss in the abdomin though it is usually different for everyone. Just keep your diet clean and play the waiting game! Goodluck all.

    Yup, poor food choices are what got you that belly, good food choices will remedy it, even without cardio or weight training. I know a guy that lost 28 lbs. in a few months, just with diet. He lost a lot of inches from his belly.

    It can be done without cardio... just needs a deeper deficit and less dairy, carbs, sugar and sodium..

    Or, spin in circles 3 times and and rub your tummy at the same time ;)

    There's a simple way to beat the belly fat: This is the way I lost mine without dieting:

    BACK & SIDE OBLIQUE BENDS

    Stand upright, keeping legs & pelvis aligned at all times.
    Lift arms above head in the same plane as your body while standing erect.
    Move slowly during these exercises to avoid any possible muscle tears.

    Keeping your legs straight,
    Slowly lean backward keeping your arms in the same plane as your upper torso at all times for all exercises.
    Start with 5 or more repetitions, and gradually increase to 10 reps twice / day

    1) slowly lean backward, keeping your arms in the same plane as your torso
    and hold briefly,
    then slowly to upright position, repeat

    2) slowly lean torso & extended arms toward Rt rear (45 degrees from original position)
    don't bend at the waist, just lean into it with arms also extended in the same direction and hold
    slowly return to upright, repeat

    3) slowly lean torso & extended arms toward Lt rear (45 degrees from original position)
    don't bend at the waist, just lean into it with arms also extended in the same direction and hold
    slowly return to upright, repeat

    If you do the exercises correctly, you will be sore for days. I've been teaching it to the members of my church,
    and they say it really works for them.
    Once you've reached the point where these exercises don't make you sore, start holding for a count of 5, then later hold to the count of 10, before returning to upright position.

    This may sound counter intuitive from what we have learned over the last 50-70 years. But I'm gonna put this out there. Consuming more saturated fat, up to 50% of your fat intake, causes the liver to purge its stores of body fat. This extra store of fat around the liver is what the majority of belly fat is from.

    Fat is lost systemically. You cannot target belly fat specifically.

    Fat is usually lost in the reverse order of body parts you gained it on.

    Fat is stubborn on bellies for men, but and thighs for lady, in general not as a rule.

    Continue to focus on fat loss in general. Outside of surgery there is absolutely no way to "target" belly fat, and that includes belly fat diets or workouts.

    The myth of targeted fat loss is purely a marketing invention to sell products, and gym machines.

    while ab exercises make the muscles stronger in the core and can give more a definative shape to the core they wont reduce belly fat, best way to reduce belly fat it reduce the body fat %

    like 8rules said you cant target areas to lose fat without surgery.

    a good diet and exercise plan is the only way to decrease body fat.

    has anyone found the cause of belly fat to be a hormonal imbalance...yes, that terrible thing called menopause. I have gained 13 pounds, it is killing me, today i am going to start some cardio, i am a heart patient so we will see how this goes.

    I am basically using the belly fat cure principle right now, but I have taken it one step further and basically do it "paleo." Sure, you lose weight with only calorie restriction but also tracking sugar will make a huge impact. I restrict my sugar to (relatively) 15 a day and only get sugars from fruits and vegetables. I have seen incredible results. I am not perfect, of course, I have "free" meals and July and August were tough due to traveling. I lost a majority of my weight this year in May and June by doing this....25 pounds. I am back on track this September - working out and watching my sugar! Oh, and the nice part is that I eat full fat! Get the fattiest piece of meat, use real butter...all in all, I love it.

    You could be losing fat and gaining muscle. I lost only 3.4 pounds but there was 7 pounds of fat lost and muscle GAIN. I was frustrated until I got fat tested again and saw what really happened. I agree to just keep going.

    Me too! lol! But if there was such a thing, Oprah would have bought the company.

    My belly fat is due to insulin resistance and too many carbs contributes to that so I'm working on restricting carbs (esp. refined carbs) and getting in more strength training to build muscle and cardio, both of which burns up the extra blood sugar so it doesn't convert to belly fat.

    Be careful with CLA. CLA supplementation has been linked in some studies to increased insulin resistance and diabetes. Also, it can lead to a decrease in DHA which can hurt brain and cardiovascular function.

    As for the OP, anything that calls itself a "cure," is not something I'd take seriously. There is no magic cure, and you can't spot reduce. Where you lose fat, and the order you lose it in, is genetic.
