What is the best way to loose a belly?
-
Losing belly fat isn't hard. Like others have said its almost entirely in the diet. Stay away from sugar and processed foods.
Did you know that almost every product sold in stores has added sugar to it in one form or another. Some sugars are added for taste. Some are added for their addictive quality to make you want it more. Most foods you get at chain restaurants are the same way. They add different kinds of dextrose's for flavor or to make you want more.But there is something else that hasn't been mentioned.
You have to get your mind into the right mindset before you do anything. Any stress from any source is going to sabotage your efforts. Because stress creates cortisol and that increases your belly fat and where your body stores it.
The higher your stress, the more your body will store fat in the belly.
This includes your self-esteem and self-image. So be positive and when you look in the mirror in the morning say to yourself "That is one handsome motherfucker". Never doubt yourself and see how much it changes the way your body works.
But just say it to yourself. You don't really want to be a stuck up prick that no one wants to bee around. -
get macros counting app and just count what you eat, it helped me tremendously

Calorie reduction via eliminating refined sugars; an emphasis on lean meats; and increasing vegetables.
I back this up entirely. Complex carbohydrates over the simple carbohydrates when possible. Go for Low GI when you can. High GI foods aka simple and refined sugars can spike your blood sugar levels, which can further make weight loss difficult.

Exercise would be about 10% to 15%- but the real change has to happen in the kitchen. NOT a diet- which is unsustainable- but rather a serious effort to change what you eat in a way that you can keep doing it for the rest of your life.
The lessons have always been there, and the research has supported it: More vegetables and fruits and lean meat, less sugar, and processed food like hot dogs, etc. You need to drink water. All other sodas, alcohol, and fruit drinks are an occasional treat. We consume a lot more calories from drinking things than many of us realize.
Eating smart is the best way to lose a belly- not for a short while and then you regain it all, but for the long haul. Good luck!
I totally agree. Although, I would say exercise is about 30% of it. It has to be a lifestyle change. You can't expect a quick fix. You need to take a look at what you are eating and make a permanent change.

Definitely. Abs are made in the kitchen.

i guess sit up could really helps? cause it really makes ur belly muscle feel sore and when u feel the soreness, that's the fat burning process.

Sit ups don't help reduce belly fat. They train your abs, which you won't see because of the fat. Also, there are much better core exercises you can do to train abs/oblique etc.
The three rules to lose that fat, in order of priority;
1. Diet - count your calories, get rid of processed foods, high protein
2. Strength / Resistance training - you burn a shit load of calories at the gym building muscle
3. Cardio HiiT training 25mins for times a week to speed up the process when you get down to a decent body fat percentageCardio is a tool put on top of the foundation of the first two when the process slows down a bit and you need to push the body harder to get down into the -15% body fat range. You shouldn't rely on cardio to lose belly fat.

Agreed. All three factors are integral to losing belly and gut fat.

Well I wouldn't agree on "burn a shit load of calories" at point 2. You're right with most of the things, but strength training doesn't burn a lot of calories. Cardio does, yeah.
- While doing the training while cutting - strenght training doesn't help you reduce fat. It helps you build muscles yeah, but that's two different things. You can't do both of those. There is one exception - if you don't workout or have a LOOOONG break and then start going to the gym, that's the period when for some time burning fat and building muscle is possible - but only then.
