Introduction

Belly fat is a nuisance in the real sense of the word. It is very harmful and makes your clothes feel tight.

Visceral fat — a type of belly fat — is a primary risk factor for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and other conditions (1).

Many health bodies and professionals classify weight and the risk of metabolic ailments with body mass index.

But this may be misleading, as people with a lot of body fat are at a high risk of metabolic disease even if they have a thin appearance (2).

Although losing fat from the belly area can be difficult, some steps can be taken to help you reduce abdominal fat in excess.

Here are ten effective belly fat weight loss tips supported by scientific studies.

1. Cut back on carb consumption

Cutting back on your carb intake can help you to lose fat, including belly fat.

Overweight people can lose belly fat if they stick to diets under 50 grams of carbs daily. The same applies to those at risk for type 2 diabetes and women with polycystic ovary syndrome (3, 4, 5).
