Does Pilates help lose belly fat?

[Anonymous]

I want to start toning up. Does Pilates help lose love handles and belly fat?

I only have a small belly bump that I want to lose.

Pilates is great! I highly recommend it, and yes it will tone your core.

But your body cannot lose fat if you do not have the proper diet.

To burn fat:

1g protein per lb of ideal bodyweight per day is most important. (chicken, fish, low fat cheese, beans, lean beef, turkey, eggs, tofu etc)

all the fruits and veggies you want

avoid white flour and sugar, eat whole grains instead

have some healthy fats like avocado, nuts, and olive oil

drink tons of water and green tea

Thanks so much.

it mainly works for toning the muscles so it may make your core strong but it won't completely burn the fat. the best way to get rid of fat is cut down your sugar and complex carbohydrates intake, drink lots of water, and do some intense cardio workouts. also spicy foods and eating breakfast helps you lose weight faster because it speeds up your metabolism. p.s. don't eat two hours or less before you go to sleep.

Judging by your photo you look slim.

How long did it take you to lose your belly fat?

[ilovemyjose101]

hmmm a while. maybe 6 months. lol

[Asker]

How many days/hours/mins did you exercise for?

[ilovemyjose101]

i had a dvd series.

and I usually used the 20 minute workout 3 or 4 times a week or something like that.

and I used my mom's old jane fonda tapes. lol.

maybe a couple times a week.
