How do I lose fat around my belly?
Last Updated:April 30, 2012
Spot-reduction (losing fat in one place) is not possible[1][2]. Your body distributes fat across the body.
It is commonly said that "abs are made in the kitchen". By focusing on fat loss you will allow your abdominal muscles to be seen.
