Our bodies have evolved to store body fat around the midsection as a survival mechanism. There are 9 times more receptors for fat storage than fat burning in this area. Adrenaline helps activate the fat-burning process, which can help shift the body from storing belly fat to burning it.

High insulin levels can prevent you from losing belly fat. Fasting for 20 hours a day can help lower insulin to your baseline. A HIIT workout during your fast can significantly increase adrenaline to boost belly fat loss. Weight training combined with HIIT can stimulate even more adrenaline.

To reduce visceral fat, it’s critical to lower insulin, which is why 20-hour fasting can be a powerful way to stimulate visceral fat loss.

There are also more cortisol receptors around the midsection than in other areas of the body, so chronic stress could be another reason you’re having trouble losing belly fat. Adequate sleep, sunlight exposure, and avoiding food for three hours before bed are also important for losing belly fat.

If you want to lose belly fat, it’s vital to avoid industrial palm oil, seed oils, sugar, and starches.
