Can you get rid of stomach fat by doing ab work-outs?

Answer 1

Quick answer, no. It is impossible to spot reduce fat. That is what Liposuction does. In order to lose belly fat you must have a good balance between diet, cardio, and strength training. Simple equation: use more calories than you eat.

Answer 2

If you're trying to lose fat off your stomach, doing ab exercises will not do the slightest thing about that. You cannot lose fat locally, only from your entire body simultaneously. The relatively small size of your abs compared to the big, hungry muscles like your legs, glutes, chest and back muscles, means that they can only do a tiny bit for your metabolism. The only thing you'll get is strong abs hidden by the exact same amount of fat you had when you started. Which is something. Do not believe the myth of AbTronics, Body By Jake or any other crappy daytime TV products. They are ALL opportunistic liars, using models who were buff anyway.

Answer 3

It might do some good but it is not an effective way to lose belly fat.

Sit ups only work out those muscles. But that fat will go no where ! Reducing your calorie intake and eating carbs early in the day is a good first step.

Answer 4

Short of liposuction there is no way to target fat reduction, you have to go on a diet and lose weight all over.

Doing situps and crunches can help a little by tighten your stomach muscles a bit.

Answer 5

Considering burning calories=burning fat, yes working on an exercises will burn some fat. However target fat loss is impossible.

To lose stomach fat quickly I'd suggest a full body workout mixed with some cardio training. And eating well.

Working only abs could actually increase the size of your stomach seeing as the muscle will build quicker then the fat is lost

Answer 6

yes but it really depends on how intensely you do the workout and the amount of time you also having a low carb low sugar low fat diet will help you out

Answer 7

If done on a continuous basis, definitely. Cardio workouts are also recommended to burn off excess fat.

Answer 8

Yes, abdominal exercise is recommended to lose belly fat. Try doing sit-ups and twists to get rid of that belly fat.

Answer 9

Belly fat is the same as any fat on your body. It’s all about the type of food you eat not the calories. It’s really simple and easy. A lot of people telling you to avoid sugar but not carbohydrates?

Sugar is a carbohydrate.

So just look at what type of food you eat and cut out refined carbohydrates, sugar and fructose and you will lose weight. No cardio, no running, no exercise.

It’s ALL ABOUT YOUR BODY'S FAT STORING REGULATION.

How the body stores or burns fat.

This process is controlled by two hormones (insulin and glucagon) that work like scales. Too much insulin and you’ll store fat, no insulin and glucagon can do it’s job and burn fat.

The proof that hormones control fat storing and burning is common knowledge in the medical world and is not controversial. Yes there are hormones that control hunger and feeling full but in the end it’s all about being a fat burner or sugar burner.

Don’t eat refined carbohydrates, sugars and fructose

Those that say it’s unhealthy to try ketogenic seem to be promoting the current western diet that gives you a 1–3 chance of either high blood pressure, obesity or Diabetes. So I think we can assume that the ‘normal’ way to eat is actually not that healthy! Anyway I digress…

To explain the Ketogenic diet in layman’s terms. Ketogenic comes from the word ketones, the fuel source the body uses instead of glucose.

Be a fat burner not a sugar burner

Glucose burning is predominant as we live in a world of refined carbohydrates and sugars. But that’s not the natural way the body should run. When you eat meats (or protein from vegetables) and saturated fats you’re eating what the body is designed to eat. Quite simply you reboot your body to go back to being a fat burning machine.

There are ZERO essential carbohydrates only essential fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals.

When you burn ‘ketones’ instead of glucose you are in ‘ketosis’ or put another way; you’re following a ketogenic lifestyle.

People that say ‘it’s hard to follow’ have NEVER been in ketosis as once you are in it you have no cravings for sugary or carbohydrate high food. It’s the diet where you lose the most and keep it off longer.

Studies that say you gain the weight back on ALWAYS state ‘when the patient returned to their normal diet’ so yes ‘you put weight back on if you go back to sugar and carbs’

It’s not the point, following a ketogenic lifestyle is for life.

In the first 4 weeks you’ll lose around 14lbs. Make sure you drink water with a pinch of pink Himalayan salt to replace lost electrolytes from all the water retention being released.

You can exercise in ketosis and there are so many health benefits.

Why it works

Fat storage is regulated by insulin. A hormone. Not by the amount of calories you eat.

When you eat the process starts insulin secreting from the pancreas (actually just before you eat)

Insulin puts energy from the eaten food into your muscles for instant energy then…

…any excess goes into the liver as ‘stored energy’ and then…

Simple. This process is accelerated by sugar and refined carbohydrates. If you eat high fat low carb then this process is slowed down. There is no big spike or ‘‘sugar-high’ basically less fat gets stored and the potential for fat to be burned is heightened.

Fat does not spike insulin nor does moderate amounts of protein

Hence less fat storage

Fat burning

The process above is reversed and when the body goes into ketosis it’s much easier to burn fat as there is a key to losing weight and that key is having low insulin.

Glucagon the fat burning hormone only enters the blood stream in the absence of insulin (Guytons medical physiology textbook, edition 6)

It’s a great way to be healthy and stop fat accumulation.

Forget ‘eat less, move more’ no proven scientific merit. ‘Joslin’s medical textbook.’

‘Calories in being less than calories out’ does not work as the body simply lowers its basic metabolic rate to try to keep fat on.

Anyone that has lost weight by calorie deficit or eat less move more has done it because (not by design) they’ve lowered their carbohydrates by simply reducing all food. They didn’t need to lower everything!
