Show Highlights & Big Takeaways

How to Burn More Belly Fat

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): HIIT is highly effective for reducing visceral fat, with research showing it burns more belly fat compared to steady-state cardio by boosting fat-burning hormones and metabolism.
Low Carbohydrate Diet: Low-carb diets are effective at reducing visceral fat by helping improve insulin sensitivity, allowing the body to better utilize existing glucose and enhance fat oxidation.
Intermittent Fasting: Intermittent fasting reduces visceral fat by stabilizing blood sugar levels and helps the body use fat as fuel more effectively.
Optimizing Sleep: Getting 7-9 hours of sleep each night is essential for preventing belly fat gain. A 2010 study found that people who slept less than five to six hours per night had 32% more visceral fat gain over five years compared to those who slept more than seven hours.
Lowering Cortisol & Chronic Stress: Chronic stress and elevated cortisol levels are closely linked to belly fat accumulation. High cortisol dysregulates blood sugar, disrupts estrogen balance, increases inflammation, and accelerates fat storage, particularly around the abdomen.
Improve Gut Health: Leaky gut and imbalanced gut bacteria contribute to increased inflammation, which can lead to greater fat accumulation and metabolic issues.
Omega-3 Supplementation: Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce visceral fat by improving insulin sensitivity, reducing inflammation, and altering fat distribution.
