losing belly fat

Hi there,

Pilates and yoga are really good at strengthening your core which should help with achieving a flatter tummy. There are some really good, free online workouts such as https://pilateslive.co.uk/ or https://www.verywellfit.com/free-pilates-exercise-videos-online-2704368

Weight training or regular workouts won't always target your tummy area as they tend to focus on physical strength in leg, arms, shoulders, etc...

Give it a go, they're both really good, not only for physical health but for maintaining positive mental health, which is a must in these challenging times.

Good luck!

You can't spot reduce fat.

Hi, if your goal is to look ripped, then I'd suggest looking at your diet as the best way to lose the belly fat. Doing home workouts may increase your calorie expenditure a little, but looking at your food intake and entering a calorie deficit is going to be a much more effective way to lose body fat.

So you kept your weight at the same mark of 87 kg, thats already a big motivation for yourself.Now you've to struggle to get healthy weight corresponding to your height and gender. I was at the same condition 1 year ago, and my big problem was that i was becoming overweight continuously, So there isn't any science or set of rules which can be applied to everyone for getting healthy weight, instead every workout plan and diet plan must be customized at the certain level to achieve best of your goals. While if you are looking for some general tips for staying fit here https://www.aqfsports.com/blogs/news/how-to-stay-fit-in-shape-with-these-simple-tips you can get many of them, but you must be focused on maintaining routine, otherwise the results will not be worthwhile.

Hi OP.

What people haven't seemed to have mentioned here is the proven link between visceral fat (ie: unhealthy fat around the organs like the heart, liver, kidneys and stomach etc) and consumption of refined/added sugar. Sugar (ie: Sucrose) on a molecular scale is 1 part fructose and 1 part glucose. Fructose is a toxin that is metabolised by the liver in a very similar way to alcohol. It is why over-consumption of sugar and/or alcohol both lead to the classic "beer belly" and can result in similar chronic bodily disorders. Cut out foods with added sugar (can be difficult since almost all packaged food in the supermarket has lots of the stuff) and stick to whole foods as much as humanly possible. This also includes drinks. Soft drinks such as coca-cola and even fruit juices are horrifically bad for you because of all enormous quantity of free sugars floating around in them and will be highly detrimental to your goals of losing belly-fat.

No matter how well you exercise, you cannot outrun a bad diet. That's a fact. Diet is at least 80-90% of the story when it comes to weight loss.

Good luck.

but bro this is not the scene here. let me explain everything.
Based on diet, it's been around 5 to 7 months since I haven't had sugar. And that includes everything like; soft drinks, sweets, chocolates, etc..
and now calorie-wise: I eat 3 times a day where for breakfast I usually have 2 egg sandwichs ( as a source of protein), for lunch, I get fried dough bread with tea and that's it. And for dinner, it's some veg,chicken or meat curry. I exercise daily but still, I'm the same. If it was about diet then mine looks quite healthy. Now please suggests something that can give me a slim belly.

Definitely not the worst diet I've seen. But I don't entirely agree with that assessment. Fried dough bread is not healthy in any sense of the word. It is a nutritionally void source of refined carbohydrate stripped of fibre and certainly isn't helping you. Neither, probably is the egg sandwich since the majority of bread out there is just as bad. Also if it's some egg-mayo type mixture then sugar could have been added. As for your chicken or vegetable curry, I don't know what goes into it. If it comes pre-made in a jar, it could well have quite a lot of added sugar. The food companies are utterly nefarious with how they add it to our food. The only thing I can definitely agree with are the eggs! As I said, stick to whole-food.

I am an advocate of the one meal a day (OMAD) approach and it has helped me to lose weight and manage my diabetes. I eat one meal a day (and nothing else), with plenty of fat and fibre to keep you going. Try making an omlette filled with grated cheese plus some veggies like spinach and mushroom. Add a little salad and next to it, add some high-fat meat like chicken thighs or pork belly. The fat and fibre keep you full for longer. Then eat nothing else for the rest of the day. You could try but it might be a bit difficult to break the habit of 3 meals a day and go straight to one immediately, so I would just start with 2 meals a day and work on adding more fat and fibre to your diet before changing to one.

Another one of my favourite meals before I went low carb to manage my diabetes better was a weird combination but altogether it tasted amazing. Each mouthful was: a bite of crispbread dipped in hummus, a teaspoon of avocado and a couple of olives plus 3 or 4 whole almonds. And it was just several mouthfuls of that. Very nutritious and tasty, and gives you lots of fat and fibre - the stuff that keeps you going for longer.

What is wrong with sugar? Also fat is the least satiating macro and the mouthful meal you described at the end is extremely calorically dense. Something I would not recommend to someone who is trying to lose weight.

Yes, it's calorically dense. That's how I have my meals. A normal meal for me is around 1000-1200 calories. And then I eat literally nothing else for the entire day. It satiates me enough to keep me going for the entire day. Because of the fat and fibre.

Sugar molecules consist of one part glucose and one part fructose. Fructose is a known liver toxin that is metabolised by the body in a very similar way to alcohol - overconsumption of either can result in over-development of harmful visceral fat, ie: fat around your organs such as liver, heart, kidneys etc. This is why big drinkers often develop big "beer bellies" but do not appear so obese everywhere else on their bodies. I recommend you watch a youtuber called "What I've learned" who has a good video on this. It's called "Sugar - the liver toxin". The point is that sugar has a very similar effect on your weight and fat composition to alcohol, because the byproducts they are broken down into by the liver are practically the same.

hi, it's been hard to loose belly fat for me since I started to workout. I used to be very chubby in my 13s but I started working out, I also once went to GYM when I was 17, to lose weight, which gave me the results which were kinda satisfying. Before GYM I was about 95 kg and after a workout of 3 months I weighted 87 kg's. And now i'm 18y nd still 87kg but my belly fat is still there. Can anyone help me and tell me a few home workouts to really be ripped.
