Losing belly fat

[Anonymous]

Any suggestions on the best approach to losing belly fat? My body/arms/legs are reasonably toned but I can’t seem to get rid of my ‘gut’. Im concerned that dieting or cardio will reduce my muscle tone.

You can’t lose more fat in one area than the other.
I have the same problem, and it completely sucks.

What I’ve done is to continue with calorie restriction and cardio until I lost “some” of it but my upper body didn’t look too skinny (I’m a pear shape).

Don’t worry about muscle tone! You won’t lose it if you continue to exercise and eat in a healthy way.

Intermittent fasting is your friend if you want to get rid of a belly!

The answer to losing fat is always the same. Eat less.

If you don't want to lose muscle, do strength training. But belly fat is particularly unhealthy so I wouldn't fool yourself into thinking it is healthier to keep it out.of some misguided belief you'll lose muscle as part of the deal.

No it isn't. skipping meals in and of itself is nothing special.

I have literally read every nutrition and diet type book on earth in the last six months in hopes of losing my belly fat (also quite toned arms and legs). . .my extensive research says Intermittent Fasting and Keto - I am doing IF but only 12 Hours and am working to accept I need to do Keto I found Why we are fat and the Obesity Code the ones that resonated most with my belly fat issue

No sugar
No flour.

I have a friend who is doing a “eat certain things together” like coffee and lemon (or cinnamon). I’ll ask what it is called, but she said it worked well.

I don’t think 12 hours is long enough to see an effect from IF.

Keep blood sugar as stable as possible and insulin low. So, very low carb, enough sleep, walk after meals.

IF (16/8 or 18:6) and/or keto. No sugar, alcohol, dairy, or processed foods. Its diet and genetics.

Agreed. 12 hrs is just a mental win. Most people are "fasting" 12 hrs a day anyway.
