How do I loose belly fat?

Question

What can a person do to loose belly fat with out gaining a bunch of muscle. I have tried walking and biking.

Answer 1

I also had this problem, I searched on-line for some time until I found this site:  http://www.how-to-get-6-pack-abs.net

It has specialized routines for men (ripped) and women (well toned).  Fun and easy to do exercises.

Answer 2

You cannot banish body fat from a particular space. The body chooses where body fat will be burned off. Usually the most recent place weight was gained is where it will burn from first, and the last place it'll burn off will be the longest stored fat cells.

Aerobic activity is the best way to burn off body fat. Running, or other very high intensity activity will burn off fat the fastest. And, of course, won't build stomach muscle.

You're unlikely to build bulky muscle from resistance exercise like sit-ups anyhow, and some lean toned muscle is good for you, as it increases your metabolism and helps you to burn body fat faster.

Diet is half the battle. You have to be eating a healthy low calorie diet every day, and 5-6 small meals a day along with exercise if you really want to see any results at all.

Good Luck, and I hope this helped you!

Answer 3

Drink grapefruit juice.

Answer 4

Eat healthy, massage the belly fat out and do the rest.

Find 15 each moves. Read my articles, surf the sites and come up with the program of your own base on the info from the articles and the site, then stay with it go to a library or on Internet and find the Abs and Waist exercises, and do them religiously , start out slow find 15 each move, for abs and for the waist then do every one once a day, then in few week go do them twice, then 3 time then 4 time, you got the idea by now, so make sure you reach the total moves of 200 to 300, now is the time to drop some but do the remaining move more times say 25 moves 12 time each, then after a while rotate them as you please but do them all over few weeks by rotation.
