How to Burn Belly Fat — The Science

Why spot reduction is a myth and what actually removes belly fat.

How to Burn Belly Fat

Spot reduction does not exist. Crunches build the muscle underneath; they do not remove the fat on top.

What actually works

1. A calorie deficit — calorie calculator.
2. High protein — protein calculator.
3. Resistance training and daily steps.
4. Sleep and stress control.

Abs training still matters for strength: plank, dead bug, v-ups, woodchopper.
