This is a good question, and honestly one that comes up quite often. But, is there a great way to just burn belly fat quickly, or is this idea more like a mythical creature—it may exist, but no one has even seen it…? In this post I hope to shine an honest light on this question (which is backed by science), to help you eliminate unnecessary confusion about belly fat loss and get started losing weight the right way Lets get started. Spot Reducing, Burning Fat, and Excellent Marketing Hype Ok, first things first, we need to clear up confusion about spot reducing and fat loss. Spot-reducing = Burning body fat in one specific area of the body (ie…belly fat) The idea behind spot-reducing is that a person can burn fat in just one area of their body, without burning fat anywhere else. If this was true, don’t you think everyone would be walking around with a body fit for a magazine photo shoot? Unfortunately, the body doesn’t work that. Your body doesn’t care if you’re trying to lose belly fat. It doesn’t care if beach season is right around the corner, or you’re trying to fit back into a pair of snug jeans. The body is going to burn stored fat from all over the place; not just from one area. No matter how hard you try you simply can’t spot-reduce body fat away. Spot-reducing is basically clever marketing hype that folks came up with to sell workout plans with cool names like, “Tone Your Tummy In 6 Minutes Per Day”. Yeah…no, losing belly fat doesn’t work like that. Save your money on those crazy programs.
