Losing Belly Fat can often be a very hazy and unclear subject. With so much information bombarding us from TV, magazines, radio, supermarkets etc. telling us to follow this diet to lose belly fat and to do that program it becomes difficult to see the underlying, SIMPLE truth behind Losing Belly fat.


However, from many years as Health in Fitness enthusiast, I have grown to understand that this lack of clarity is what this industry thrives on.

Health magazines and supplement companies in particular ALWAYS want to keep you guessing.

Think about it?! If health magazines editors and supplement company directors TRULY wanted you to have “Chiselled Six Pack Abs in 30 Days!” or have “20lbs less Fat in 2 weeks” why wouldn’t they supply you with an exercise guide, a training guide and a lifestyle guide ALL suited to your specifications?

SIMPLE! If they did that there would be no need for health magazines and supplements as the persons goals would be straight forward (which they should be!).

Instead, they would rather keep giving you little fragments of quality
information so that you keep coming back and doing business with them.

For these people it makes sense, as if they didn’t do this there would be far less money for the Editor of the magazine and the Director of the Supplement company!

On top of that, health magazines and supplement companies happen to be remarkable at marketing!

So much so that a little part of me is always convinced when a new “Killer Build Big Biceps Work-out” is published or a revolutionary “belly fat loss Pill” is released.


However, there is always an even bigger, wiser and more experienced part of me that understands that this is just another FAD to lure desperate people in and make a quick buck out of them.

The Calorie Deficit for Losing Belly Fat

What most people don’t understand is that there is a simple logic to Eliminate Belly Fat. It is called the Calorie Deficit and EVERYTHING in the Fat loss industry revolves around it!

I’ll start with an example;

Subject A: Weight 85kg (~180lbs)

The calorie intake for maintenance of weight for Subject A is 2500Cals. However, if subject A maintains a deficit of 500Cals from a nutritious, balanced and wholesome diet alone their body should eventually adapt and therefore start to experience belly fat loss in accordance to this calorie deficit.

This is provided that they maintain there metabolism with a level of physical and mental activity i.e. working, walking to the store etc.

If Subject A then proceeds to carry-out Cardio which burns 300cals on-top of their nutritious, balances and wholesome diet of 2000cals, their calorie deficiency would then equate to 1700Cals. His/her bodies Fat Loss would be accelerated even further.


[NOTE: A calorie count of less than 1500Cals for this individual would be detrimental to his/her Rapid Body Fat Loss goals due to the lack of nutrients 1500Cals would provide. A nutritious, balances and wholesome diet with the least amount of calories should be estimated to suit you.]

Calorific deficiency with the necessary balanced, nutritious and wholesome food is belly fat loss in a nutshell.

However, the only difficulties you now should have are, what;

• Is my calorie intake for maintenance

• Is my lowest calorie level

• Foods do I need to get rid of belly fat

• Cardio is the most effective for me to burn calories

The answers to these questions are all based on YOU. They depend on your weight, height, body fat, level of daily activity, age, gender etc.

For example, an 85kg female with 10% body fat who plays rugby professionally and who requires 3500Cals for maintenance of weight would not be given the same routine as a sixty year old female of 85kg who has never exercised. This is why we emphasize individuality!

On top of that, this is why generalizations such as;




should never be used and taken note of. Everything depends on the individual and his/her needs.

It is for this reason of ‘individuality’ that the only person who you should take advice from is someone who takes these things into consideration and understands how to use them for the fastest and most effective means to lose fat.

Lose Stubborn Belly Fat Easily

The surest and easiest way to Lose Belly Fat without making things very complicated is just to eat less and exercise more and track your weight week-by-week to see if what you are doing is actually working.


Personally, I have always hated Dieting and whenever I had weight issues I would just eats less of what I like and exercised more.


Did it work? All the time! The one thing I never did though was cut back on exercising which I would do almost every day whether it be swimming, running, rowing, surfing or the odd bit of weights in the gym.
