Fitness Pill #2: What is the best way to lose fat in my belly?
Spot reduction is a myth. The ten habits that actually drive overall fat loss — including the belly.
This is a question that many of our clients and potential clients often ask, specially women.
It’s important to understand that spot reduction — losing fat in just one area of the body, like the belly — is a myth. Fat loss happens across the entire body, and where you lose fat first is largely determined by genetics.
However, there are effective strategies to help reduce overall body fat, which includes abdominal fat. The strategies are:
Establish a calorie deficit
Plan your diet with the right macronutrients
Prioritise weight training
Incorporate cardiovascular exercise
Use high-intensity training
Get enough sleep
Control stress
Maintain proper hydration
Avoid extreme diets
Be patient and persistent
In summary, fat loss in bodybuilding is a combination of a proper diet, weight training, cardio, rest, and stress control. With patience and dedication, you can achieve your objectives!
