Stomach fat is one of the most annoying areas of a woman’s body to lose weight from.
In our private support group “how do I lose stomach fat” is one of the most frequently asked questions.
But before we get into how to get lose stomach fat let’s remember that should all love our bellies (no matter what the shape or size) as they have carried our babies in them which is the greatest gift ever!
But instead of not liking our tummy, let’s all see the quest for losing stomach fat as a way to improve an already gorgeous belly so let’s love our body not hate it – and instead look to tone it up and give it a bit of a makeover 🙂

1)Understand Stomach Fat
There are two types of fat which are found around your stomach area: subcutaneous and visceral. Subcutaneous fat (this means “under the skin”) is the fat you can see and grab, while visceral fat lies further inside your body and surrounds the vital organs in the stomach area.
Too much visceral fat is what forces the stomach outwards and is what leads to your stomach sticking out. You can see more on the different types of tummy fat here
Although most of us are very self-conscious about the (subcutaneous) fat they can see, research shows that the visceral fat – in people of any size – could be the bigger threat to our health.
2) How to lose stomach fat
- Breastfeed. If you are a breastfeeding mum, then breastfeeding can really help you lose stomach fat as it can help your uterus go back to its normal size more quickly. If you are not breastfeeding – don’t worry – we have lots of over ways to help!
- Eat healthy foods. If you are filling your body with more and more fatty and processed foods each day you won’t see your stomach fat decrease. By eating a diet rich in protein, wholegrains, fruits, vegetables and nutrients then your body will function better and eliminate toxins and fat. Our 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge is perfect for this
- Reduce your alcohol consumption. Alcohol, especially sweet fizzy based drinks and beer make it nearly impossible to lose stomach fat and puts extra stress on your liver to clear out the toxins. This extra pressure on your liver can make it very hard to build muscle which is key to losing belly fat.
- Exercise your whole body. The key is to exercise your whole body and as you do your body will seek out excess fat stores that will be used to fuel your exercise session.
- Strength Training. Spending hours doing cardio exercises will only get you so far when it comes losing belly fat. The real secret is to add a few strength-training exercises in to your routine. The most effective way to lose belly fat is to build lean muscle in its place. Muscle gets very hungry when exercised and the more you work them the more they seeks out fat stores all over your body to fuel it. Try and include major muscle group exercises into your routine to see your belly fat disappear – such as squats which work the bum and thighs
- Keep yourself Motivated. If you want to lose stomach fat you will need to stay motivated for longer than a few days. We all have times when we want to give up, but it’s important to push though the hard times because the end goal is worth the effort.

3) Get Accountable
Take your measurements and weigh yourself. It is important not to only rely on the scales as it can be misleading. But taking measurements and weighing yourself will give you a more accurate indication of your weight loss and tummy fat loss.
