I’m going to show you how to lose belly fat for good with a 4-week plan. During each week, we’ll implement one of 4 things that have been found in research to be the key to lose stubborn belly fat and keep it off. We’ll show you how to properly assess and monitor your belly fat loss progress, give examples of food swaps to consider for your weight loss diet plan to kick start fat loss, talk about a few exercises to speed it up, and then combine everything with a bonus tip for those who are really serious – and want to lose belly fat, fast. By the end of this video, you’ll have a full plan that you can get started with immediately, and if followed consistently, will help you finally lose that stubborn belly fat.

In week 1, you need to weigh yourself every morning after waking up and after using the bathroom. Don’t drink or eat anything before. After 7 days, take an average of your weight. This 7-day average will then be your “weight” for that week. Every week you will repeat this process. You will then compare these weekly averages to assess how much fat (i.e. belly fat) you’re losing with what we will implement next in weeks 2-4. A reasonable goal is to lose weight at a rate of around 0.5-1% of your body weight per week.

During this second week, you need to close the gap between how many calories you can eat to lose fat and how many calories you’re currently eating to kickstart the process of losing your stubborn belly fat. A simple method to get a rough estimate of how many calories you can eat is to take your body weight and multiply it by either 13 or 29 depending on if you’re using lbs or kgs. Download a food tracking app such as MyFitnessPal and start logging down every single thing you eat during a typical day. By the end of the first day, you’ll be able to see roughly how many calories you’re eating.

This number will most likely be higher than the number of calories you can eat to lose fat. We need to close this gap. Employ a flexible approach toward your diet plan for the best chance of success at weight loss. This is where you more or less continue eating what you want, but gradually make swaps to reduce your calorie intake.

Although reducing calories is the main thing you want to do when it comes to how to lose stubborn belly fat, being active should not be overlooked as it will speed up the process. That’s why, starting in week 3, we’ll track NEAT. It may not seem like it, but daily living activities like walking, fidgeting, washing dishes, and gardening can make a big difference when it comes to fat loss. The easiest way to track your general activity is through your step count. The greatest benefits seem to occur in the neighbourhood of 7,000-9,000 steps per day and is a good minimum goal to aim for.

During week 4, you need to implement a structured exercise routine with the right amount and the right type of exercise. As a recommendation, you should aim for a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise 3 times per week. If you can up this to at least 60 minutes 4-5 days per week that is even better. That will help you lose belly fat – fast. As for the type of exercise to do, what we recommend within our Built With Science programs that have worked wonders for thousands of members, is to start with a foundation of about 3-5 weight training days per week. Once you’re consistent with that, add in 20-30 minute cardio sessions to help you hit the weight loss targets we established back in week 1.

Although you can’t directly target fat loss from your belly, you can grow your abs just like any other muscle by training them with weights. As they grow, they will pop more through your skin and as a result, make them more visible even if you haven’t lost all the stubborn belly fat. To do this, train your abs with weighted movements regularly 2-3 times a week. Weighted cable crunches, weighted reverse crunches, and weighted sit ups are all great options.

Keep in mind that this should not be implemented until you’ve nailed down the previous 4 things. Once you get all 4 implemented, you’ll start experiencing fat loss. Keep this up for long enough and stay consistent with it, and eventually the fat will come off from stubborn areas like your belly.

For those looking to take this one step further with a program that puts all of this together for you, such that you know exactly how to train and what to eat week after week to lose stubborn fat for good and build lean muscle just like thousands of our members have done, then take our free analysis quiz to determine which of our plans will best help you transform your specific body below:

If you’re watching this video, chances are, you’re wondering how to diet to lose fat for good. Most people have been taught to use approaches that set themselves up for failure in the long run, by physiologically messing up their bodies with diets that leave them in a position where it’s now very hard to strip off that excess fat. But, in this video, with the help of Dr. Eric Trexler, pro body-builder and PhD researcher, I’m going to show you exactly how to diet properly so you can undo the damage you may have done from your previous dieting attempts (i.e. maintenance calories are too low) and break through your weight loss plateau. I’ll also show you how to keep the weight off so that once you strip off that excess fat, it’s gone forever.

The first thing we want to do here is something called a recovery phase, which helps with 3 goals: restore the lean muscle mass that you lost, restore any hormonal imbalances (related to cutting your maintenance calories too low), and to just get you in a better mindset. To accomplish this, all you’re going to do is simply bump up your calories to whatever your maintenance calories currently are or even slightly above this, while also cutting back on your cardio. As for how long you should stay in this recovery phase for, Eric recommends at least a couple months for most people.

When you’re ready though, phase 2 is where we can give dieting another shot – but this time we need to do it right. Which means that we need to set up our fat loss phase in a way that minimizes muscle loss AND minimizes the metabolic adaptation we typically experience throughout our diet. And as outlined in Eric’s research papers, there are a few ways to do this. First, you need to avoid using a very aggressive calorie deficit. This equates to roughly only a 15-25% calorie deficit, but just keep an eye on how your bodyweight progresses and adjust accordingly. Next, we want to use an approach called intermittent dieting. And lastly, you need to ensure that you’re eating a high protein diet (1.8-2.7 g/kg bodyweight) along with high volume, low calorie, filling foods. So basically, you apply these 3 steps until you’ve successfully pushed past your weight loss plateau.

Then, it’s time to transition to phase 3. What we want to do here is simply find a way that you can maintain your weight loss in a sustainable way. One option is a reverse diet. Although the effect this has does seem to vary individually, often times what happens is even though you’re adding more and more calories back into your diet, your body counteracts this by essentially gets out of that “dieting” mindset and tends to start burning more calories through subconscious increases in daily activity, or NEAT to slowly bump up your metabolism. Imaginably, this is the crucial step when it comes to how to keep the weight off after your diet. However, keep in mind that again this does vary individually as people respond to increases in calorie intake differently.

And then, from here, it really is up to you where to go next. You could either maintain your new physique with relative ease with new your higher calorie intake, or you could choose to now focus more on muscle growth. Now although this whole ‘how to diet to lose fat for good’ process may seem very complex and you may be feeling as if there’s no hope for you, that just simply isn’t true. I’m not going to lie it will take time, but by following these 4 phases, remaining patient, and combining this with a solid training and nutrition plan, then you can and will be able to strip off that fat for good.

On that note though guys, for those who do need that extra bit of help when it comes to learning how to diet properly, my step-by-step programs have been designed to guide you through each of these phases in detail. It comes fully equipped with software that enables you to actually know exactly what your metabolism is at and how its changing week after week as you strip off fat, so that you can easily break through any plateau you encounter along the way and lean down in the most efficient way possible just like several of our Built With Science members have done with their programs.
