How To Get Rid of Stubborn Belly Fat
One of the most common questions I get is “How to get rid of Belly Fat”
Before you reach for any supplement or magic juice read this and get your foundations right!
Why do we have belly fat?
So before we bash our belly fat, let's talk about why we have it.
Women, in particular, are more predisposed to hold belly fat due to a mix of genetic, hormonal, and psychological factors.
Your hormones like estrogen and progesterone tell your body to store fat in your abdominal area, especially during pregnancy and menopause.
Genetically, women are also naturally inclined to store fat in their hips, thighs, and abdomen.
Hey, don't fight me. I'm just the messenger.
Additionally, women generally have a slower metabolism than men, leading to belly fat accumulation over time.
Knowing these factors is important for developing effective strategies to manage and reduce belly fat in women.
That being said, we still want that tummy on flat flat, and beyond the aesthetic, reducing belly fat can significantly improve your overall health.

My Personal Fatloss Hacks
Intermittent Fasting:
I'm a huge fan of fasting. It gives your digestive system a break and helps regulate insulin levels. Try an 8-hour eating window and a 16-hour fasting window.
Fun Cardio:
I love incorporating fun, high-intensity workouts. My go-to is dance cardio and skipping. These activities keep your heart rate up and are super effective for burning belly fat.
Low-Carb, Not No-carb:
Reduce your carb intakes, but don't eliminate them completely.
Focus on complex carbs like sweet potatoes and whole grains.
Avoid simple carbs like white bread and pasta.
Follow the Plate Rule:
Build all my meals around protein. Cut out sugar and processed foods, and almost immediately water weight, and bloat drops.
Volume Eating:
Prioritizing high-fiber foods helps you stay full longer, which is essential for weight loss. I like to lightly steam my veggies with a dash of lemon juice to make them easier to digest.
