Diet plans to lose belly fat - fiction that most people think is true

1. A lot of people think that they will lose their belly fat by simply not eating. This is dead wrong. That’s why: if you don’t eat much you start to lose your muscle, we should care about that because our muscle is the most fat burning part of our body. If you don’t have muscle you don’t lose that much of your fat.

2. Another fiction about belly fat is that you have to do mainly sit-ups because we exercise our belly, right? The thing is though, that if you have a fat belly and you do a lot of situps to tighten it up – yes, it will tighten it… Under layer of fat, meaning, that you will have powerful stomach, but it will look even bigger and fatter because of the muscle under it.

3. Slow cardio is awesome – WRONG. The thing with slow cardio is that you lose some of your fat. However, you have to look into that from this perspective: your body doesn’t want to lose fat, it is useful and gives you energy as well as warmth. Your organism just wants to adapt and survive, so, how much fat you think you’ll lose after a nice marathon? The answer is very minimum, as less as you can use just to survive. Meaning, that the more you run the more your body will try to adapt and finally – the less fat you lose (also, you will gain a lot of stamina, which is your greatest enemy while fighting with fat)

4. If you exercise your belly you will lose fat of your belly – what a BS!! Tried this from high school grade six, it doesn’t work. Then I came across one read which explained why and it made total sense – your body loses fat equally. Meaning: if you have three pounds on your butt, belly and legs and you lose three pounds in total you will still have two pounds on butt, belly and legs. Now have you ever seen someone who has massive double chin and has legs of an Olympic runner? Of course you didn’t (send me a photo in case you did… that would look interesting, hehe…)

5. Belly fat pills help – no they don’t. If it was that easy to get rid of stomach fat 99% of people in America would have six packs. And people who advertise them are hired by supplement companies to do so. Even if they do help a little, most of the people using them have an attitude of “Hey, I have pills, I don’t need to work out and I can eat whatever I want”. You know what happens with these people? They are the main inspiration for demotivations like this:
