  • If you are wondering how to lose belly fat without exercise, you’ve come to the right place. In this video, I am going to show you exactly how to get rid of belly fat without exercising at all. Losing belly fat is a simple process but requires a little bit of knowledge and know-how.

    To lose belly fat, especially without exercise, you need to understand why exercise is not going to be enough to stimulate fat loss. Take a look at popular exercises that are used to burn fat; walking, jogging, sprinting, and even burpees. Walking and jogging provide minimal caloric burn which is not enough to put you in a caloric deficit. Sprinting and burpees, while providing a greater caloric expenditure, cannot be sustained long enough to really make a difference.
    If you walk for an hour, you are likely to burn 264 calories. This can be completely undone by eating a snickers at 215 calories. Think you might opt for a healthier snack like a yogurt? Well, that can just as much damage at 240 calories. This brings up the point that you need to make smarter choices when you choose what to eat.
    A big problem that people have when it comes to getting rid of belly fat is that they believe because they exercised in some way, they can reward themselves with a "cheat meal". This way of thinking is what causes a lack of progress when it comes to losing any kind of fat. Replacing the calories burnt with this "reward" simply means that all the work that they did to burn calories has been for naught. Worse still, if choosing a calorically dense meal, they can actually cause more damage by eating more calories than were burned in the first place.
    Some might think certain foods are “healthy” or “clean” but don’t realize the amount of calories that their meals are packing. Remember, to burn belly fat, you need to be in a caloric deficit and making the wrong choices in what you put into your body can compromise that. Many meals you find at restaurants, while looking healthy, actually contain over 1,000 calories per meal.
    A good place to start is to educate yourself on foods that are less calorically dense. What you can do with this information is make meal swaps. A few examples include changing chicken parmesan to citrus grilled chicken. The fried breading and cheese are packed with calories that can easily kill any deficit that you thought might have been in. This plate averages 800-1100 calories whereas that grilled chicken meal checks in at 400-700 calories.
    Another example on food swaps that you can easily make includes changing white rice out for cauliflower rice. A standard serving of white rice contains around 240 calories while the same amount of cauliflower rice checks in at 20 calories. That's a lot of calories you could be saving just by making a single, easy swap.
    There are some easy swaps to make that you have likely tried before such as swapping out soft drinks and soda for sparkling water (something that contains zero calories in each can or bottle). The swaps don't always have to be drastic or difficult, but again, require a bit of knowledge and education.
    The next step you can take to burn lower belly fat is to limit the portion sizes of your meals. If you are making healthier choices but eating too much of said meals, you are not achieving the caloric deficit required to burn fat. Some of the meals I show you look very similar, but changing the portion sizes of some of the ingredients can make a huge impact on how many calories you consume.
    Now, while being in caloric deficit is the key to losing belly fat, it doesn't stop there; this is where exercise becomes important. To avoid being "skinny fat" you will need to build muscle too. Doing this will give a more appealing aesthetic as well as increasing your resting metabolism - allowing for a more forgiving caloric goal and diet.
    Two recommendations I have to make this all stick for good is to avoid time aversion eating. If you have heard that eating after 6 PM is going to make you fat, you've been lied to. This is nothing more than a myth and if restricting yourself to a time is making it harder for you to stick to a solid meal plan, then you need to throw this notion out the window. My next recommendation is to increase your protein intake, because as you build muscle, more protein is required and is more satiating than carbs and fats but less calorically dense, which will help you keep you on track to lose belly fat.

      This time go beyond the motivation. After the motivation fades away, which is natural and inevitable, make discipline the primary focus. Discipline is what makes the trick.
      Also when you address a solid why, then things that you’re currently try to do, will become habits and a lifestyle.
      Eating healthy while enjoying what you eat is easier than many people think.
      Good luck have fun and get to the best shape of your life again, better than your previous best 💪🙏

    Your main message about not being able to out-train "bad nutrition" is spot on. Inspiring even. It's a great message to remind us all, although many of us fail to a significant degree even when armed with awareness. You have some of the best and most direct advice out there, plus you are second to none on mechanics and lean techniques etc. I'd advise you though to be careful and more nuanced about using 'good nutrition' as a simple label because of the level of awareness of many people. Let's always clearly separate the concepts of calories and nutrition for the less informed to start with - which I see you do seek out. Lots of so-called lean, muscular guys and girls have calorie deficits, but their nutrition is actually wanting and even crap. Many don't realise because they are young. The proof won't be til they get to their late 40 - 50s, but it will show out eventually. I know this. Nutrition to me - and what I'd love for you to articulate more - is much wider than what you put across. Yes, it's very much the macro, micro and other nutrient profiles in food; I think many followers get that...200 calories of chocolate isn't the same as 200 of fries, or 200 avocado blah blah. But it's also much more than this simplistic view.. It is about stuff like fibre type and content (especially for you very deficient Americans, even with 6 packs!): it's about salt; it's about the amount of ultra processing (and geographically where that takes place ie rules and regs in manufacture - things are not equal). ABOVE all, however, good nutrition has a MASSIVE MORAL component, greater than the individual. Good nutrition doesn't involve any torture and cruelty to animals in order to serve you your 'good' nutrition. (for which, read meat protein obsession). The fallacy about eating kilos of chicken etc (as 'good nutrition' because it is satiating) is just damn wrong and sets up generations to fail themselves, destroy their gut biome, mess their autoimmune system, and contribute excessively to the destruction of our planet. Many of your younger testosterone fuelled young men out there just hear this 'eat meat, eat more meat chicken/ fish/beef/ blah blah/ protein powder, supplements, injections etc etc then push big weights all day....There's much better protein and very good nutrition that involves no suffering, has a hugely smaller moral price to pay if you want to be a good person, and helps the planet survive - that is, plant sources of protein. These sources also don't have the inflammatory cause either that animal protein is PROVEN to have when eaten in the quantities many of your followers think is right , nor the remnants of growth hormone or antibiotics that ARE in much of US and European industrial farmed animal products, but especially beef and chicken. A simple, highly graspable, US centric example, for the uninitiated is; eat a plant burger not a beef burger. More or less the same everything macro to micro, except you get zero of the hit of cholesterol (let alone the loss of animal cruelty, environmental gain, and moral benefits...etc). So, your 'nutrition' message is good in so far as it goes; but it sure needs diversifying and clarifying when it comes to TRUE good nutrition. It must not just, in many of the followers ears, become 'eat loads of meat' as the fallback. Ps#1; I do realise you have deeper dive videos on nutrition, but what I say still holds I believe, not least the message of waking up to the amount of horrific animal torture and cruelty that you demand by stressing animal meat. Good nutrition involves stopping industrialised farming. Do this by stopping mega consumption of mass produced, animal body parts, all because those seeking chiselled muscles, body builders, beach posers etc etc think meat consumption is the main causation when it comes to getting big muscles and being 'fit', because it ain't; it's much deeper than that, as I've said. PS#2 Keep up the brilliant training and fitness exercises and, especially, form instructions, top 5 mistakes etc etc. Great stuff.

    I would 50% disagree on the eating late comment, for two reasons.
    First, if you are intermittent fasting, say 16/8, eating late at night (and beginning your 16 hour fasting period when you are done) also means your eating window the following day is pushed back (unless you do a shorter fast which is not ideal). The trouble here is compounded if your break time at work (should you have no/little control over when you go) happens to fall within your fasting period.
    For example, I fast from 8pm - 12noon the following day, every weekday. If I ate at 11pm rather than finishing at 8pm, I would have have to push back when I can eat the following day the same 3 hours from 12noon to 3pm. Because my lunch is at 12, this means I now can't eat lunch and have to wait until the next time I am even able to cook, which might be 4-6 hours after that.
    Secondly, anecdotally I understand but if I eat right before bed, for some reason I wake up absolutely starving. As in stomach yelling at me as if I haven't eaten in days starving. If I don't eat a few hours before sleeping, I wake up normally. Maybe that's just me though.
    I don't believe eating at night is bad for you, but putting yourself in positions where you will be very hungry really makes it easier to give in to food temptations, thus defeating the point.

    Started 3 weeks ago removing all artificial suger and starch from my diet while setting up a varied scheme for a week (taking protein suppliment), never exceeding 2000 cal / day while doing targetted workout a minimum of 45min 6 days a week.
    I've honestly never felt better (honestly think it's mostly to do with removing sugar from the diet), body feels better, mind is more clear and I'm sleeping a hell of a lot better.., so thank you for re-affirming my process in this video! :)

      90 - 95% of my nutrition consists of salad, various nuts, fish, chicken and once every week the most lean piece of beef I can find (Just because I can't live without 😄), if I feel an overwhelming craving for something sweet I take a piece of fruit like 1/2 watermellon etc.

    You're so right. Most people in the gym aren't tracking, weighing meals, and doing a cheat DAY on Saturday undoing their so said deficit from the week. They look the same for years. From the conversations I've had with those people it boils down to total lack of discipline.

    Thank you for the video, Jeff. While much of the information is familiar to those of us deeply engaged in fitness, I appreciate the overview. As someone who has lost 100 lbs and passionately pursued weightlifting, I've found significant success in my fitness journey. However, despite five years in the gym and numerous cutting diets, I've struggled with persistent stubborn fat, particularly around my love handles. Even at my leanest, when my overall frame appeared overly skinny, these areas remained unchanged. I've contemplated solutions like liposuction, but ultimately, I've learned to accept and love myself as I am. I just want to highlight that for some, stubborn fat can be a challenging, nearly insurmountable issue, and it's important to manage expectations and focus on overall health and self-acceptance.
