What are the best foods to eat to burn tummy fat?

[Applefan1]

Helpful answers only please.

There's no such thing as a food that burns belly fat.
A better question to ask is why you think eating would burn fat.
Eating (rather eating too much) is what makes a person fat in the first place.

While you can reduce your calorie intake to shed some pounds, only exercise targeted at stomach muscles is going to tone your stomach. Running and general exercise will also reduce your weight, but I doubt the body will specifically target only stomach fat. More likely there will be an overall reduction in fat all around the body.

Tummy fat has a lot to do with diet and genetics

Stay away from processed foods. Eat fat oxidation foods such as green tea
Lean meats
Coconut oil
Hot peppers
Lentils
Broccoli
Water

These can help with fat oxidation. Also best when insulin levels are low. Other than it just comes down to portion control, right balanced diet and exercise.

Cool, thank you. I don't really get any exercise. On the positive note I don't eat very many takeaways at all. I guess if I ate a lot of takeaways I would be a lot more fat.

[PrincessofNohr]

There's really no "magic bullet" food to burn belly fat, or any fat really. It's simply a matter of burning more calories than you take in, and fat will come off across your whole body. What can be done is exercising your stomach muscles to improve muscle tone, which will make it flatter.

[Applefan1]

Yes, that is the problem that fat comes off your entire body. It just seems all pointless and like you can't get rid of a pot. I have thought about operations. :(

[PrincessofNohr]

Operations are one method, but they're expensive, can leave scars, and the fat can come back. Are you apple shaped or pear shaped overall? If you store fat on your stomach instead of your hips and thighs, there's a chance it could be a hormone imbalance.

[Applefan1]

Oh ok thanks. I did not know that. I don't feel I eat too unhealthy. I eat takeaways 1 time a week at the very most, often I miss weeks out.

[PrincessofNohr]

No problem! There's a lot of causes for it, but PCOS comes to mind. It can definitely cause a build up of belly fat.

[Applefan1]

Sorry what is PCOS?

[PrincessofNohr]

It's polycystic ovarian syndrome. It's a term for a general set of symptoms associated with elevated androgens, but the cause can be highly variable (genetic, environmental, etc). Some symptoms are irregular/no period, excess body hair (particularly facial), cystic acne, abdominal fat, and ovarian cysts. It's more a description of the manifestation of symptoms than a cause, but there are certainly ways to treat it. I'm no doctor, but if you have symptoms like these, it may warrant getting tested for it.

[Applefan1]

Thank you very much for that. I guess I should just go to my doctor to talk about it with him.

[PrincessofNohr]

No problem at all! Best of luck to you!

lettuce, freaky (it's a type of rice kinda), kola nuts (these can cause cancer if you have too much so just make tea with them)

[Applefan1]

Cool thank you.

[MrMaskyMoon]

your welcome buddy

Eat less than your caloric maintenance level every day (google it to find a calculator), i. e. every day consume a caloric deficit every day
and
Eat shit as little as possible

[meatballs21]

Weight loss is systemic. You cannot target a specific body part to burn fat from it. Just exercise and you will lose fat all over.

[imnotcrearive]

Anything with a pH lower than 2 and high concentration.

[Iron_Man]

Amino Acids can help with fat burning. You can take the pills or buy the liquid

[Applefan1]

Thaks mate.

[Iron_Man]

You're very welcome

Just go on a keto diet and enjoy yourself, it really works

[Applefan1]

I will google that now.

[Applefan1]

Thanks.

[Applefan1]

Low carbs, I have heard carbs are the problem before the problem is potatoes are my weakness. LOL

[OrdinaryGentleman]

carbs are not the problem, hitting your macros are the problem, which is what you need to be doing. You need a specific amount of calories per day in order to remain in an anabolic state. Keto diet cuts the middle man and just relies on ketosis. I would suggest simply enjoying your potatoes and excercising, weather it be walking or something else.

[Applefan1]

Oh ok. I did turn down the potato today. What type of exercise is best? running?

[OrdinaryGentleman]

Yup, unless you like boxing or jump rope running is a go-to

[TheAngryBanana]

foods that are rich in fiber should help in aiding the digestive track

[Applefan1]

Cool, thank you.

[Wiserman5]

I believe grapefruit is one of the best natural things to burn fats.

[Polocrew]

Can't spot reduce OP and there is no food, Eat accordingly your target cals

[admles]

You can't burn fat from one part of the body only. That is called spot reduction, and it is a myth.

[jakeofalltrades]

celery or something similar, it costs more to digest than you get out of it

[ConsultantIsBack]

Myth

[lushbomb]

green tea on an empty stomach in the a. m. :).

[Applefan1]

Cool, can you have breakfast after or should I skip breakfast?

[lushbomb]

dont skip breakfast ever! drink green tea. and wait it out like 10 min i would say. then eat breakfast. when you skip breakfast your metabolism slows down and thats when you gain weight. the faster the metabolism the faster you will lose weight bc ur going to the bathroom faster. haha

[Applefan1]

Yes, I have heard it is bad to skip meals. Pooping faster yup lol sorry.

[GreatnessRevamped]

None really.
You need to workout.

[jesusnicolas768]

I heard fish is good because of the omega 3

[legalboxers]

apple cider vinegar
