"Are you able to swim or walk? Otherwise it's just a matter of reducing calorie intake aka a diet. " Thanks for you reply Swimming hurts my injury but I can walk but not miles about 30 minutes. | |||

"You can't spot reduce (just lose belly fat) if that's what you mean. Secret to losing weight - Eat less, move more! So whilst you can reduce your calorific intake and lose some weight, at some point you will hit a plateau if you're unable to exercise at all... Walking & swimming etc are gentle exercises, so a great place to start." Many thanks | |||

"I don't think you can target specific areas of the body to lose fat your genetics decide where you lose it first. In men the most stubborn area to get rid of the fat is usually the gut. The only way to lose fat is to consume less calories than what you burn. Some people do different forms of dieting (keto, paleo etc) but I reckon this is just different methods of essentially restricting calories. There is obviously more science to it than that but in the end, the only number that I think counts is calories. 1 pound of body fat equates to about 3500 calories. If you are in a calorie deficit of 500 calories per day; that is a healthy level of weight loss. This means you will lose 1 pound of fat per week; 4 pounds of fat per month. The problem is you will also lose muscle. It's not healthy to let yourself waste away by fasting. It's not pleasant either, and too hard to sustain. Healthy body fat percentage in men ranges from about 15-25%. If you lose too much fat it can stress out the internal organs (subcutaneous fat). Having six-pack abs is actually not really that good for you and incredibly difficult to sustain year-round. My thinking is that "diets" are bad as they are inherently temporary. Living healthy from here on would be a more optimal solution. tldr: Yes; track calories. Calculate your basal metabolic rate, subtract 500 calories, eat that many calories every day. " Top man many thanks | |||

Fruit is OK but be mindful it is full of sugar so limit the amount consumed. Nuts are healthy fats but also calorie dense. These foods need to be incorporated into a healthy program according to your aims. | |||

However the abdominal muscles aren't that big and you get more benefit from concentrating on larger muscles. | |||

"Hi folks Is it possible to loose belly fat without exercising. I use to train lots in my younger years but due to an injury I’m not longer able. Any tips appreciated. " Depending on your psychical limitations, calisthenics and cardio are gonna be your friend. Those two behind diet, hydration and sleep are gonna do wonders for ya. I’ve got a shoulder injury I’m tryna walk through so lots of sit ups and biking/running is my standard. Depending on how I feel that day, I’ll do some light lighting and practice heavy bag work/techniques. If ya wanna disclose your range limitations, I can give ya some good suggestions. I was a D1 Boxer and know a bit. | |||

"What's a D1 boxer?" I was really good at it and got recruited to do it as my sport on scholarship at Uni. Not as glamorous as football or soccer but still an enjoyable position to be in. I’m not very involved anymore but still use the diet advice and workout stuff for general fitness. Also, don’t mind advising anyone else who might be interested in bettering themselves. | |||

That means that you can’t target where body fat is lost, as many on this thread have mentioned. Fat loss is determined by energy balance Energy in = calories you consume Energy out = calories lost through exercise or body maintenance. Abbreviated to TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) If energy out is more than energy in, weight loss is achieved | |||

"There are lots of free exercise routines available, on things like YouTube. I'd suggest browsing through a few. Maybe search for low impact cardio. I found that certain presenters on there kept me motivated, so if you don't like the first few just move onto the next. Many thanx Exercise is only part of it, but for me it was the cue to improving diet etc. I'd argue the first and biggest step is to decide to take action, and you've done that " | |||

"I hurt my back and couldn't do any proper excercise for a while, but managed to lose weight. I quit drinking Pepsi. First I switched from full fat to max, but that didn't do anything - a total quit started weight falling off. I also replaced this with drinking more water. I stopped eating cake and snacks. I practiced portion control. Smaller meals and not finishing off my kids meals. I started doing a yoga routine e that didn't hurt my back, but was targeted at weight loss. Good luck with it. " Thanks for your reply ..interesting | |||
