Advice for losing belly fat?

[LoloWaye]

I've gained about 15 lbs since starting college and it mainly went to my stomach. I'm not huge nor is my belly hanging over my pants, but it is chubby. You can see it through a fitted shirt.

I want to get rid of that belly fat but not lose a lot of weight. Besides more protein and veggies as well as no sugary snacks, I've seen moderate to low carb diets and cardio 4-5 times a week.

If I did a moderate carb diet what would I cut out exactly? Or should I go straight to low carb? Does it matter what kind of cardio I do and how long? And what are your other suggestions?

One more; I know target weight loss isn't possible but would I lose my breasts and butt?

I bet your belly looks great to be honest, maybe not to you but then you can't see it objectively.

You can go low carb if you want to try that, it does produce results. It's just not the most sustainable model for dieting. It's good for a short term fix but it's hard to live without carbs in the long run.

When I've done a carb cut for an upcoming vacation I've stuck to meat and green vegetables, allowing a little cream and cheese in there too. Fats aren't a real issue when you are going low carb. I've cut out all added sugars. I stuck to drinking fruit juice. For breakfast I had smoothies made with Greek yoghurt and strawberries/bananas, dash of cinnamon, and if you like it sweeter then you can use a sugar substitute.

If I decided not to do a carb cut, would adding healthier options and exercising make a difference?

[super147]

Absolutely, you don't need to go low carb. If you cut out added sugar, limit fats and work on cardio and stomach toning then you should definitely see results. Again though, don't be sucked into the ab craze. You don't have to have a 6 pack to be sexy.

I definitely don't want a six pack! And thanks for the advice! And you're right, my friends tell me it's not bad but I'm not happy with it.

you want to get rid of belly fat?

get your diet right, don't stress yourself out, and exercise. you should be doing some kind of cardio while building some muscle. the more muscle on your body, the more calories you burn.

besides protein and veggies, you should also add complex carbs and healthy fats into your diet. balance is key, if you don't overeat, you will achieve your goal.

but don't be one of those people who completely cut out carbs. do you want to eat carbs for the rest of your life? then keep eating them, just pick the right ones.

you will lose weight wherever your body decides, so there ain't nothing to it but to do it.

Some of this information doesn't seem accurate

[Abe90]

When you lose weight, your body burns everywhere. So there is a possibility that your breasts or butt may lose a little bit there, but that just means you need to tone those areas out with some weight exercises. Stick to a low calorie and low carb diet

Do a lot of cardio, and eat the right foods. There's no shortcut or magic pill.

[LoloWaye]

I know that.
