This Is How to Lose Your Stomach Fat Once and For All

If you really want to torch belly fat for good, try these six things, including adding weights to your strength-training routine, eating the right foods, and de-stressing.

Although cardio can help you lose weight overall (since you can't spot-target fat loss), HIIT is the most effective in torching calories both during the workout and afterward, thanks to EPOC, or the afterburn effect. Try this 20-minute HIIT workout to put your body into fat-burning mode.

Sure, you can't spot-target fat loss, but you can strengthen your core overall, which can give you the appearance of a tighter tummy. Try these 18 exercises that will fire up your abs, including elbow planks, mountain climbers, reverse crunches, and scissor kicks.

While you can work on your ab muscles in the gym, abs really are made in the kitchen. If you're trying to lose weight, be sure you're eating a healthy, well-balanced diet at a calorie deficit. And to flatten your stomach, load up on these seven dietitian-recommended foods that burn belly fat, such as broccoli, salmon, Greek yoghurt (which you can use in salad dressing, guacamole, and so much more), and beans.

Sure, you may be counting the calories you eat, but what about the calories you drink? Swap out your sugary beverages and instead load up on these five belly-fat-fighting drinks, including black coffee, water, and matcha, to slim down your belly for good.
