Why won't my belly fat come off? ... Just focus on these 3 things!

It is known that belly fat is particularly difficult to lose compared to other areas. Recently, three effective methods for eliminating belly fat have gained attention abroad.

 

According to the UK media Mirror, weight loss expert Sora Ya Coach revealed the secret to losing belly fat. He said, "You cannot specify the area where fat is lost," and "In order to eliminate belly fat, it is necessary to reduce overall body fat." Instead of targeting only belly fat for weight loss, he explained that it is important to control calorie intake, increase protein consumption, and combine weight training to build a firm physique.

 

 

Calorie control = Coach Sora says, "It's better to maintain a slight calorie deficit by consuming fewer calories than you burn in a day." This means increasing the calories burned beyond the calories consumed. At this time, it is more important to practice consistently over time rather than obsessing over the exact number of target calories. He said, "It's difficult to hit the exact calorie count every day," and added, "You don't need to severely restrict your diet; to make it sustainable, it's necessary to allow for about 200Kcal."

 

However, consuming too few calories beyond the age of 35 can slow down metabolism and may actually hinder weight loss, so caution is needed. As people age, calorie expenditure decreases due to aging, muscle mass reduction, and other factors, naturally slowing down metabolic rate. If you recklessly reduce calorie intake excessively for body management, it can lead to weight gain or a deficiency in essential nutrients for the body.

 

 

Increasing protein intake = Coach Sora claims that increasing protein intake is necessary not only for weight loss but also for fat loss. He said, "Protein, which helps in muscle formation and recovery, is key to fat reduction." He believes that by consuming enough protein to stimulate muscles, along with calorie control and exercise, fat can be effectively reduced.

 

There are also research findings that as people age, sufficient protein intake can strengthen muscles and reduce body fat. According to a study published in the Journal of the Korean Society of Integrative Medicine, participants' physical changes over 8 weeks of protein intake were analyzed, showing an increase in skeletal muscle and a decrease in body fat percentage. It is recommended that adults consume 50-55g of protein per day for women and 60-65g for men, and it is beneficial to eat a balanced diet including meat, seafood, dairy products, beans, and nuts.

 

Weight training, which helps build strength, also aids in managing body shape, including belly fat. Coach Soraya said, "It is important to create a lean, muscular physique through weight training 3 to 4 times a week," and "Consistently following this routine for about 45 minutes to an hour will greatly help in achieving your diet goals."

 

He also explained that increasing muscle mass "raises the metabolic rate, allowing you to burn calories all day long." In fact, muscle not only helps to firm up the body but also increases the basal metabolic rate. When the basal metabolic rate, which is the minimum energy required for sustaining life, increases, you gain less weight even if you eat and exercise the same amount compared to when your basal metabolic rate is low.

The part that particularly doesn't lose weight despite dieting

It's belly fat.

Don't forget the slogan: "Instead of saving the calories from the food you ate today, let's consume them."

It's a well-known fact when dieting, but still.

I think it might also be helpful to read it once.
