Q: how to lose belly fat

A: The way you both gain and lose fat is over the whole body, not just in the belly or any other area. There is no way to target the belly area specifically (no matter what all the different product advertisements tell you :) but instead you need to lose fat overall. The most effective way, by far, to lose the fat and keep it off is to take up weight training, go on a fat-burning diet and complement it with moderate (not heavy!) cardio training. Please read the weightlifting and nutrition articles in the Article section to learn about weight training, select a weight training program for yourself (several programs are included in the article), and also learn about proper nutrition. Do your best to follow both the weight training program and nutrition program for a couple of months and you will start seeing real results. Follow them for a year and become downright buff! As always, come back here and ask me questions whenever you need. Good luck!.
