    Nothing beats healthy eating.

    Concentrate on overall fitness and maintaining a healthy heart.

    Eat a combination of lean protein and healthy carbohydrates every few hours throughout the day to speed up fat loss and maintain stable energy levels. For best results, eat six times a day. Try balancing your meals 70% protein 30% carbs. Eat your proteins from lean sources (Chicken, fish, boiled eggs, lean beef with all the fat drained off) and beans (lentil, lima, chile or any type of bean) For your carbs stay away from breads and rice. They do provide energy but they are high in calories. Choose leafy vegetables, carrots, raisins, broccoli and fresh fruits. Weight train intensely, three times per week on alternating days with aerobic exercise three times per week.

    Drink 10 to 20 glasses water per day NO SODA

    Good Luck !!!

    The key to losing belly fat is cardio. Some people simply carry fat in certain places, everyone has that "problem area" that bothers them and usually women carry it in the lower half of there bodies and men in their middle area's and this is usually due to hormones and stress etc. but being that you are only fifteen I would say all you would need is some good old fashioned cardio. Try incorporating a good 25-45 minutes of cardio everyday and of course watch what you eat. Sit-ups are great to do and I would definitely recommend them but sit-ups alone will not burn the fat around your middle, like I said for that cardio is the solution. Try doing the cardio and then doing fifty sit-ups everyday when you wake up or right before lunch, this will help you make it a routine (like brushing your teeth every morning) and that should help build muscle which in turn helps you burn that fat better when you get around to the cardio!

    decreased eating or both. Losing 1-2 pounds of fat a week is a sensible goal
