I just got a question on Facebook that I hear pretty often and I thought I’d address it here to help clear up this nagging issue.
Q: I have a question..What exercise or food really helps with belly fat?
I drink 63oz of water daily..I stay away from pop, but the eating part is killin’ me, I’m like anyone else, I love pasta, rice…all things that are not good for ya’…is there a fast quick solution for belly fat?…thanks
A: Good for you with the water. That is a great first step. The unfortunate answer to your question is no. There aren’t any quick fix, overnight solutions-regardless of what the late night infomercials and the slick pills promote to you – I wish there were and I’d discovered it. Unfortunately it comes back to basic commonsense – calories in, calories out.
The good news is I have 25 years of success with people eating REAL food and losing weight and belly fat. I don’t recommend people avoid pasta, rice, pizza, fast food, etc. They are a part of an enjoyable life and I teach people how to eat these things and still lose weight. Don’t fall for all the hype out there – check portions, enjoy the foods you eat, just don’t eat SO much!
Add exercise to the mix! I promote H.I.T. Strength training and recommend everyone train 2-3 times a week. The results are amazing. My avg male client loses over 4 inches off the waist in 4 weeks eating real food and exercising just 15-20 min/day, 2-3x/wk. I know it sounds too good to be true, but it’s worked every time for the past 25 years.
