What is the best way to get rid of belly fat?

[Anonymous]

I am very lean and toned everywhere but my stomach. I eat pretty well and am fairly active but am not into hardcore fitness (ie crunches) How can I get rid of my flabby belly?

First calculate calorie intake to reach goal:
Inactive lifestyle:
9*(target weight) = daily calorie intake

Moderately active lifestyle:
12.5*(target weight) = daily calorie intake

Highly active lifestyle:
15*(target weight) = daily calorie intake

next calculate time to reach goal (in months):
((Current weight) - (target weight))/10= months to goal

Here is an example:
190 pound girl who has a target weight 170 and an inactive lifestyle needs
a daily calorie intake of 9*(170) = 1530

Time it would take to reach goal?
((190)-(170))/10 = 2 months

Tips. Cut out soda and excessively sugary foods. Eat more protein rich foods, eat healthier carbs and healthier fats. Your protein macro should account for about 50% of your calorie intake. Give your body a certain period of time to "fast", in other words don't eat food after 8PM and don't eat before 10AM. Doing so will give your body time to metabolize the fat stored in your body, because it won't be receiving sufficient energy during that time it will have to delve into fat stores.

Lots of strength training stuff. I've been doing lunges, leg raise with a lat pull (pretty much putting myself in the shape of a v), donkey kicks, ab holds, and some more exercises. I've seen improvement in my legs, arms, and belly in just a week. Takes about 20 minutes

I was trying to do the same thing get rid of belly fat but I gave up because it did not work. Does not matter because I am too short anyway.

@Applefan1 I'm pretty short (5'1") and it works for me. Youve just got to push yourself (make yourself sweat) and use weights

[Applefan1]

Unlike me you are pretty.

Thanks for the advice though.

If you do abs exercises that will flatten the muscle. For the rest you can only do low intensity cardio (minimum 1/2 hour) to start the fat burning. But the belly is the hardest place to burn. So don't give up too quickly.

Sit ups. Anything targets to your abs really
