in Health and Weight Loss
Hello- I'm new here and could really use some advice on how to combat stubborn belly fat. Are there certain foods I should be eating. Exercises I should be doing.
I'm currently on a 1300 cal diet and doing 6 hours or cardio (zumba/kickboxing/walking) a week.

Thanks for your help!

    Unfortunately I do not think you can target weight loss in a certain area. It comes off different areas first for different people but tummy is usually the last. Would love to hear the answer from some more experienced people though. I have the same problem.

    I heard on Dr. Oz that you def need to stay away from starchy white foods. He said if your trying to lose belly fat, that white foods (rice, potatoes, noodles, ect) are your enemy...

    I want answers too. I have been doing various styles of crunches every day (100) so I can try and tighten my muscles.

    Diet, strength training and consistency is the way to go... cardio alone is unlikely to shift stubborn fat.

    The other posters are correct, you can't target fat loss, the body will shift it from where it wants to but it will use belly fat too.

    You can't target weight loss in one place. It happens all over. However there are muscle exercises that you can do to help tone the area like reverse crunches, crunches, planks, push ups, squat punches and others like that. Just eat clean and do lots of cardio and the fat should come off, leaving the muscle you are building up!

    Can't target belly fat BUT, core work helps. I've been doing Ripped in 30 and lost 1.5inches in my tummy in just 10days

    What do you mean by body brushing? Also where do you find the raspberry and chia seeds?

    Cut out grains and sugars -- just the grains will push fat on the mid-section and sugars cause overall fat -- by eliminating both you have a good start.

    Doing abs exercise will only help strength the muscles underneath, but not cut the fat. The only way to lose your belly is by lowing your body fat overall. As someone has mentioned, you should try to stay away from high starch foods. For me, I got the best result in my belly by lowering my carbs and I started running. I lost 12 pounds last month, mostly all in my belly region.

    Thank you mtant27 !

    I've said that over and over Dr says none of that, yet I keep seeing people chatting about eating those things, or seeing those foods in peoples diaries.

    Thanks for your response. So should I be doing these strength training excercises with the cardio or swtich out a cardio day or two for these excersises?

    Cardio is good for the heart and you should do strength training a 2 times a week and train different muscles each time
