LOSE THAT BELLY FAT – HOW TO GET RID OF YOUR BELLY FAT
by John Harris Fitness
Almost everyone wants to get rid of belly fat. Sit-ups, crunches, and other abdominal exercises are often performed in an attempt to shed excess belly fat. Unfortunately, these exercises aren't very effective in reducing your waistline. We'll show you what truly works to get rid of that stubborn belly fat.
2 Types of Belly Fat
There are two types of belly fat: subcutaneous and visceral fat. Subcutaneous belly fat is the visible fat that lies above the muscles. This type is generally not harmful. On the other hand, visceral belly fat is internal fat that surrounds your organs and expands your abdominal area. Besides its appearance, visceral fat poses health risks. It releases hormones that can make you feel hungry even when you have enough energy reserves. Additionally, it promotes inflammation in the body and releases substances that raise the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Can I Target Belly Fat Specifically?
No, you can't specifically target and lose fat only from your belly. It's not possible to control where you lose fat from. However, there's good news: Belly fat is a "short-term energy store," meaning that your body prefers to use fat from abdominal cells when energy is scarce. This makes it generally easier to lose belly fat initially compared to fat in areas like arms, legs, or buttocks.
Tips to Combat Belly Fat
-
Healthy Diet - The saying goes, "Abs are made in the kitchen!" No matter how much exercise you do, if your diet isn't on point, you won't lose weight. Sugar is a major contributor to belly fat. It disrupts your metabolism and increases the risk of obesity, diabetes, and other issues. Avoid refined flour products as well. Cook your meals, cut down on sugar and refined flour, and increase your intake of healthy proteins.

Adequate Sleep - Lack of sleep slows down your metabolism and increases the risk of weight gain. When you're sleep-deprived, you tend to eat more, even if your caloric intake remains the same. Getting enough sleep helps prevent overeating, reduces fat accumulation, and boosts metabolism and fat burning.
-
Boost Testosterone Levels - Testosterone supports fat burning in both men and women. You don't need supplements to naturally and gradually increase your testosterone levels. Heavy strength training with low repetitions, such as squats, deadlifts, and glute bridges, can help. Perform these exercises at least once a week, doing 4 sets with 5 to 8 repetitions each.
-
Create a Negative Caloric Balance - Reduce your calorie intake to lower body fat. To lose weight, you need to eat less than your body burns. A negative caloric balance leads to shedding pounds, and since belly fat is an easy energy source, you'll lose weight there quickly. Achieve this by reducing calorie intake or increasing energy expenditure through exercise and physical activity. However, avoid reducing your calorie intake by more than 500 calories, as this could slow down your metabolism.
