If you really want to know how to get rid of tummy fat, then you need to listen carefully… forget crunches, sit ups, or any other kind of exercise. While those things are okay for developing abs muscles, no exercise in the world is able to burn fat in any specific location. This idea was known as ’spot reduction’ and is nothing more than a decades old myth long since disproved.
Really, you have absolutely no control whatsoever where you burn fat, just as you have no control on why you put on fat to begin with.
What you do have control over — the only thing — is how many calories you eat and burn each day. You can either eat more calories and put on fat wherever your body decides, or you can eat less calories and lose fat wherever your body decides.
The cruel reality is — although you probably don’t want to hear it — is that tummy fat is generally the last place fat will be burned because it is in the centre of the body which is the easiest place for the body to store fat.
Therefore, how to get rid of tummy fat is simple: eat less calories and to lose fat all over your body, and eventually your tummy fat will disappear when most of the other fat has.
