Losing belly fat?

Spot reducing doesn't work, so forget crunches and sit ups. The only way to lose belly fat is to reduce your overall percentage of body fat. Also depends on how much we're talking here, but I'll assume it's somewhere around "moderate". Aerobic exercise 1/2 hour to an hour a day. Brisk walking, jogging, treadmill, aerobic class, elliptical, take your pick. Weights burn calories, and more dense muscle mass means more calories burned even while at rest. Use them, even light weights with high reps. Your basal metabolic rate is 10x your weight. This is the maximum amount of calories you should eat per day. Eat more than this, you'll gain. Eat less, you'll lose. There are foods that will help you burn calories, too. Lean meats, omlettes with one yolk and the rest egg whites, whole oatmeal (not the instant stuff), chicken, tuna, brown rice, lowfat cottage cheese, whole wheat bread and Ezekiel bread just to name a few. Protein shakes are good too. Basically, anything that's harder to digest. You need to become a label reader. Anything with fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated oil of any kind, avoid like the plague. White flour, white rice, white sugar, gone. Buy Stevia sweetener from Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. And fried foods are the devil. Lay off them if you want to lose belly fat. Good luck.

Exercise and diet change are the only ways of losing fat and keeping it off. You can't just do something temporarily and keep it off. You must change your lifestyle.
