Your Body DESTROYS Fat When You Do This

Struggling to lose that stubborn belly fat? You might think you've heard it all when it comes to losing weight, but stick with me. Today, we're not just talking about generic weight loss advice; we're zeroing in on belly fat - why it's tough to lose, why it matters, and, most importantly, what you can do to effectively destroy it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, belly fat isn't just about aesthetics. It's a health concern that can have serious implications.

So, there are two main types of fat in your belly area: subcutaneous fat, which is the layer of fat you can pinch with your fingers, sitting just beneath the skin. It pretty much looks like this on the inside.

And the second type is what we call visceral fat, which is deeper inside, wrapping around your vital organs.

So, which among the two is worse? While both types can be concerning, it's visceral fat that poses the bigger threat to your health. It's linked to a higher risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and even certain types of cancer.

A recent study, 'The investigation of SGLT2-inhibitors on cardiometabolic health' by SZ János in 2024, brings to light the critical connection between BMI, body fat, and visceral fat percentage with increased health risks. This research underscores the importance of managing visceral fat to not just enhance our appearance but significantly improve our cardiometabolic health.

But here's the thing – everyone has some belly fat, and that's perfectly normal. The problem arises when we have too much of it. So, what causes excess belly fat? It's a mix of factors including poor diet, lack of exercise, stress, and genetics. Understanding these factors is the first step towards making a change. And yes, while genetics play a role, there's a lot within your control.

Probably one of the best no nonsense videos on the basics behind getting in shape thanks for posting

[benzanino]

Summary:

1. Eat healthier foods, including proteins that include good fats.

2. Intermittent Fasting

3. Cardio + Strength Training

4. 7-9 hours sleep + Stress reduction

Start small, make minor adjustments. Swap processed foods for Whole Foods, start small fasting windows, take it slow and build upon the changes.

Pretty much everything you’ve seen on every other video. You’re welcome.

[GymGarageMan]

Was called fat at 50! Started training in crumbling garage lifting rocks doing pushups on paint cans pullups on beams got ripped af at 53 years old!!!

[JohnJohnson-dsgd]

Best advise: Be patient with yourself while you progress. 💪🏾

[trevoryou]

Suddenly changing my diet and routine is the only things that worked for me. After work 1-2 hours of training. Intermittent fasting all day until after my workout. Massive Protein focused meal before bed. 6 days a week training, Gods gift of rest Sunday. I’m down 28 lbs.

1. Keep your insulin level low by eating in an 8h window, high insulin level = no fat loss
2. Prevent drinking alcohol as your liver threads it as a poison, prioritizing it above other foods so everything else you eat during that process is delayed and stored as fat!
3. Focus on your BMR which is 2k for a male and reduce your kcal intake with -500kcal a day
4. Exercise is great for maintaining health but you don't lose a lot of fat with it 10% vs 90% nutrition. 400kcal exercise is NOT eating 400kcals more (especially at lower body fat)
5. Focus on eating whole foods, not processed and use a good kcal tracker like lifesum
6. Sleep is your superpower, stress your enemy as cortisol blocks fatburn
7. Do resistance training 3x a week as it will strengthen your looks a lot.
8. Take 2 protein shakes a day to preserve muscles.
9. Do not believe your smartwatch. 2k kcals people!

Disagree. 51 years old. Could not lose weight until I went carnivore. I exercise less because of my age. And I no longer have joint pains. The lifestyle is real. Never looked better, too. I agree, though. Stay active and real food.

[texasmade]

Intermediate fasting and limit calorie intake per day and zero sodas worked best for me and that is without exercise.

[matchafitness]

My advice, instead of trying to lose fat fast, just educate yourself about hormones and carbs and start using your body fat as daily fuel, you don’t even need to exercise or starve yourself…key is insulin and blood sugar spikes

[PK-cjpg]

I started IF 168+Keto+Daily exercises. Lost 5 kg in 5 weeks. Now, continuing the new regimen. Feeling much better. Morning blood sugar teading dropped from 7.5 to 5.9. No more urine bubbles. Crystal clear now. Proper diets and daily exercises can be effective without medication.

[Ledphoot]

A calorie is not simply a calorie. You've got to eat low glycemic index foods, avoid things that will trigger an insulin response. Also incorporate exercise into your daily routine, make sure to be active after you eat, especially after your largest meal.

[shahramkhazaei]

I could manage to lose 45 kgs within only 5 months through regular and daily resistance exercise and being on OMAD fasting. Now I am feeling great. I still need to lose 8 kgs extra weight. I will surely do it less than a month ago. I used lots of significant points from Dr. Sten Ekberg's videos on Youtube. May God protect him. Thank you anyway for this fruitful video, too. Take care❤

Is not natural to eat 5x per day, also is not natural to eat fruits and vegetables because they grow in season depending on area you live in and I don’t even want to talk about eating grains, people even don’t know how rice looks in nature

[jackvai]

I had to teach my body to use fat
for energy by gradually removing most
carbs/sugars.
I feel better than I've felt in years...
And my bloodwork confirms the improvements.

[ankushbiswas]

Note: You actually CANNOT target belly fat. Look at it like this... fat in our body is like water in a pool. When you scoop out some water, the remaining water spreads and evens out throughout the pool. It's not like one part has more water than the other. Same goes for body fat. Spot reduction of fat is NOT POSSIBLE. Belly fat will automatically come off when you get in allover better shape.

[jonishitani]

Easy steps. Also remember you can’t do spot fat removal the body will decide.
7-8 hours sleep, diet, weight/cardio exercise, avoiding any stressful situations, and lastly having a good support network.

[AlexandreLollini]

I found out (on myself) that sometimes the body need some crisis or radical change (not for good, but for a time, ONE TIME) if you reach a plateau into fat loss. What I tried and it worked is reducing carbs during one month while doing 16/8, then do a 2 days fast (it was easy as a breeze) stopped the plateau and started the fat loss again. The external (healthy) belly fat is the last to go, I am only 1, 5 year in, so while my belt shrunk massively in the first two months (liver and visceral fat reduced drastically and overall energy went up like crazy) the sub-cutaneous fat takes much much longer to go. And I do not want to reduce calories, because otherwise I would loose muscle. So it is SLOW, but it is good, so better not hurry and enjoy life. 1.5 years in I still have wonderful natural wake ups in the morning, and really BEAUTIFUL energy during the complete morning, exeriencing iuncreased memory, focus and creativity. I think I will never have a breakfast again. Breakfast is EVIL.

One notable study is titled "Regional fat loss from the thigh in women after resistance training" by Katch et al. (1984). This study found that applying a heat-producing device to the thighs of women, combined with resistance training, resulted in a greater reduction of fat in the heated area compared to the non-heated areas.

Another relevant study is "Localized fat loss induced by local application of a controlled heat regimen" by R. T. Kelemen and colleagues, which indicated that controlled heat application could reduce subcutaneous fat in specific areas.

The mechanisms proposed for this effect include increased blood flow to the heated area, which might enhance lipolysis (the breakdown of fats), and the potential increase in metabolic activity in the targeted region.

My weight was spiralling out of control. I used to B slender but after 30 I so started to gain.

I worked out periodically but I always lost motivation so I accumulated the lost kilo's back again plus more kilo's thren B4!!

I'm 49 now and my heaviest weight was 103 kilo's in August. I was so fed up with my puffiness I started working out one hour a day, planking 5 🕗 a day and also reducing my sugar intake. I'm also writing down what I eat to stay motivated. I'm living proof a Vegan diet can hlp you lose weight and stay healthy at the same 🕗

Slowly but certain I was losing weight and november 2024 I'm at 82, 5 kilo, which means a weight loss of 20 kilo's. I occasionally cheat but in a much more healthy way then B4. I'm refusing to lose my focus for my body looks more beautiful when I look in the mirror 😊🙏✌️

Guys my advice on going to the gym is contradictory to what they say.Exercise makes you healthy... It's true but overtraining is not healthy. In 4 months of training I fucked both of my shoulders and I haven't been able to do back or chest.I then started doing legs like crazy and run every day now I can't because I have a weird shin pain even when I walk.If you train hard take rest days and do more less correct form exercises than more with bad form because you can injure urself and is very hard to like doing something but not be able to
