and I'm making this video because honestly there's just so much misinformation online.
6
I remember a few years back I searched for videos of how to lose belly fat.
7
I kept getting answers like massaging the fat away, using a waist trainer or wrapping your stomach in plastic wrap, 30 minutes ab exercises to burn fat.
8
Let me be very clear, if you do not take anything else from this video,
9
understand that none of these things or none of anything related to these things actually work in burning fat.
10
And I say that painfully because I had to learn the hard way.
11
But now I know exactly what works and more importantly, I have the body to prove that I know what I'm talking about.
12
When it comes to losing belly fat there's a lot of factors
13
that come into play and i don't just want to start listing all of them
14
and confuse you because the whole purpose of this video is to give you clarity
15
whereas other things on the internet is telling you to do this
16
or do that or do this this video is supposed to give you an understanding
17
and make you go oh that's how i actually lose belly fat
18
so in order to do that i'm not going to take everything at once
19
but i'm going to answer the most 5 common questions that people ask when trying to lose belly fat.
20
Questions like 1.
21
How do I lose belly fat?
22
2. What is the best exercises to get rid of belly fat?
23
3. What foods burn belly fat?
24
4. How long will it take to actually see results?
25
Or how long will it take to lose belly fat? And 5.
26
What supplements should I actually take to lose belly fat?
27
Now, let me give you a quick warning.
28
I don't have a script.
29
All of this is coming from the top of my head
30
so the video might be a bit longer than usual but
31
if you can't sit down to watch a video
32
that is explaining everything in a simplified manner I don't know what to tell you so 1.
33
How do I lose belly fat?
34
I'm going to put this in the simplest way possible the
35
only way to lose belly fat is to eat less than your body needs there is no other way
36
there is this narrative online people have that you need to drink this
37
or you need to make this type of tea or you need to drink this powder.
38
They are all retarded and they are all wrong.
39
Always remember to lose weight is about eating less.
40
There's a reason why they call it a calorie deficit.
41
You are actually restricting your body of the amount of food that it's supposed to eat.
42
It doesn't make sense to be losing weight by taking more things.
43
So how do you lose belly fat?
44
that you lose belly fat specifically by controlling two things the amount of food you eat
45
and the kinds of food you eat the amount of food you eat
46
because simply put the less food you eat the more your body requires energy
47
and because you are not eating enough food your body is going to turn
48
that fat into energy if you do this for a long enough period
49
that means that your body will eventually burn all the fat starting from around your face your hands
50
and eventually later going to your meat section
51
and controlling the kinds of food you eat because it's common logic
52
if you want to lose fat there are some certain foods you need to eat
53
and there's some certain foods you need to avoid i can't tell you i am trying to lose fat
54
but then you see me taking things like alcohol and soda
55
and just junk food in general
56
so to lose belly fat you need to forget about everything else
57
and just focus on these two things you need to control the amount of food you eat
58
and you need to control the kinds of food you eat
59
those are the two most important things anything else after are either just additional help
60
or they don't matter what are the best exercises to get rid of belly fat again the most effective
61
and only way to lose fat or belly fat is your nutrition what you eat
62
and how much you are eating but
63
that doesn't mean exercise doesn't play a factor in losing fat
64
what exercise actually does is just make the process faster basically
65
when you are doing cardio you don't do cardio to burn
66
fat no you do cardio to increase your body's amount of energy
67
that it's using every single day if you are eating less
68
which we talked about
69
and you are also eating the correct types of food your body is going to need energy
70
and because you are not giving it enough energy it's going to use your fat now
71
if you do cardio or
72
if you do any form of exercise you are increasing the amount of energy
73
that your body needs and more importantly you are doing this without increasing the diet so
74
because you are not you don't have to reduce your food anymore it's like another way to increase the energy
75
that your body needs you are making the process faster
76
because you are increasing the need that your body has
77
that is the raw exercise place for losing belly fat three
78
what foods burn belly fat now we have already already talked about exactly how to use belly fat understand
79
that there is no specific food
80
that burns belly fat green tea is green tea it doesn't
81
have an effect weight loss powders are nonsense don't even try
82
that there is no food there is no thing
83
that causes any chemical reaction
84
that actually burns belly fat belly fat is the same fat
85
as every other in your body as long as you are
86
dieting by doing the first point then eventually as the fat
87
is reducing it's going to reach a point where it reaches your belly fat
88
and that will also reduce it makes no difference there's nothing
89
that you eat that is going to target
90
that belly fat there's no such thing as spot reduction
91
but just for the sake of the question there are low calorie foods
92
that you can eat to help you feel full without eating too many calories the best examples of this
93
that are also very nice is pineapple
94
and watermelon how long does it take to lose belly fat this is honestly up to you
95
because people are different people have different amounts of fats
96
and people have different sizes losing your own belly fat will depend on how much fat there actually is
97
and how intense
98
that it is going to be for you my advice to
99
you is this i can't tell you exactly how much you are going to lose
100
and how much
101
or how fast you'll be able to use this fat what
102
i can tell you is not to focus on the time
103
the more you are going to focus on the time the more likely
104
that you will fail instead focus on becoming a healthy person
105
that just naturally does these things right now I go to
106
the gym almost every other day not every day every other day
107
but I don't see it as a chore I don't see it as a hassle
108
and that's because I have the mentality
109
and I have the mindset of I am somebody who goes
110
to the gym I'm a fitness influencer I teach people how
111
to lose fat it makes sense for me to go to the gym
112
when you start thinking about that and when you change your narrative about yourself
113
when people offer you alcohol you don't say things like oh
114
i'm sorry i can't drink you say oh no i do i do not drink
115
because that's just me i don't drink i'm losing weight that's
116
the difference stop thinking about the time stop thinking about it
117
as this is something i just need to do quickly and then be done with it because you never see the results.
118
5. What supplements should I take to lose belly fat?
119
0. Zero supplements.
120
It doesn't mean there are no supplements to take, but there are literally no need for any form of supplements at all.
121
Remember, to lose weight, it's about eating less.
122
It's about taking less substances into your body.
123
Now, of course, it doesn't mean that there are not any useful supplements, but let's be honest, a lot of these supplements are quite expensive.
124
And at the end of the day, what I see as a quote, is a lot of people get a dependence on this
125
and they feel like oh because i don't have this supplement i cannot make this result
126
and that's why i cut it i nib it in the bud
127
and i say no you don't need it i never took
128
any of the supplements creating health building muscle yes you don't
129
need it people build muscle like with nothing with just basically water
130
and fruit not even protein the people don't even eat protein
131
and they still build muscle you don't need any of those things.
132
Do what you are struggling to do.
133
Do what you don't want to do first of all.
134
Then add the supplements.
135
They are supplements because they supplement what you are already doing.
136
And that's the most important thing.
137
What you are actually doing.
138
And that's the five most common questions on losing belly fat.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
