a lot of back and forth for a basic answear so here we go

1- what we call belly fat can be divided in viceral fat (internal,organ bound,the dangerous) and subcutanous fat (below your skin)

2- when you start to lose fat , tipically, the viceral fat is mobilized(burnt) first,along with fat from all over your body

3- theres no spot reduction of ANY kind

4- the way you store and from where you burn fat is mostly genetic.Tipically where you store first , is where you burn last

5- It takes time to finally get to those (stubbon) areas and if you have a lot of fat to lose , it can take several months or even years to finally reveal abs.Dont let this disincourage you, this just enfatize the importance of SUSTAINABLE methods and making this a way of life instead of a temporary challenge.This is why fad diets , macro nutrients fasting or huge calorie deficits tend to fail in the long run.

Only time Ive noticably lost weight was 2 months of not eating bread, pasta, rice and any thing processed. No beer too. I was hungry a lot.

I’m 50 the only time I’ve lost belly fat had a flat stomach is fasting, zero sugar and calorie deficit no snacking…it’s hard work you have to really want it

Boring and confusing. Here’s the answer. Belly fat is usually the last to go, dropping your overall BMI will eventually lead to belly fat loss, but it’s slow.
Muscle will help burn MORE calories while you’re resting so yes the gym is useful.
1.Calories in calories out
2.reduce bread and sugar, drink water not sugar coffee and drinks, for most people they really underestimate how much junk is in your drinks.
3. Walk 10k steps at a minimum if you can’t go to the gym.
4.building muscle will speed this up, 3 times at the gym per week is totally fine for average people.

Do this and you’ll start seeing noticeable results within 30 days, guaranteed. And the good news is this really isn’t as difficult for the average person as most gym bros advice.

20:52 "Paralysis by analysis and perfectionism has killed more dreams than failure ever could" This is something I have been combatting for a while now, this rings so true.

Some people cannot answer a simple question. This should have been a 2-5 minute answer.

It’s probably just me but when I see a headline like this I am looking for a 30 second answer , not an avalanche of information….

Did anyone else find this conversation to be a bunch of talk that didn’t make any sense?

Action is so much more important than trying to get everything laid out perfectly, just start  Where u are right now as important as it is, start walking the path, and if you are walking the path, you are gonna screw up, learn from it and do better next time. And eventually , again maybe you don't get exactly what you want. But I bet you get something pretty good.

Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can... Love the approach!

Paralysis by analysis is way worse than failure - perfectionism kills more dreams than failure ever could. 😳 Preach sir! Dang that was just a perfect reminder! Thank you!

I really needed this reminder tonight…action is better than perfect

Layne is an absolute rock star in the diet and exercise world.  Thank you for having him on.

You are a young man but with a wide outlook on life. I’m approaching 50 and an ex semi pro rugby player who has recently been diagnosed with leukaemia. You inspire me to get back to my best and focus on what is within my control. I’m convinced that I can be in better physical shape at 50 than I was at 40 and its videos like yours that keep me motivated

While I was in a state of ketosis I drank a Celsius while sitting at my desk job.  I measured my ketones before and an hour after finishing the drink. My ketone production jumped up! The caffeine put my fat burning into overdrive! 18:15

A frequent objection I encounter is the claim that “I lack the motivation to exercise.” However, motivation typically follows action rather than preceding it.

I wonder why they never explicitly state those studies and researches.. as if I need to take his word for it

The only time I’ve seen drastic reduction of lower “belly fat” is when I am consistently fasting, once a week on the same days (for 18 to 24 hours), when I’ve stayed away from bread and sweet stuff, avoiding eating at irregular times, and keeping a regular exercise routine - nothing intense but regular. After over 20 years of regular exercises, I’ve come to the conclusion that managing food intake/diet is the most important step. The rest can be managed through intermittent fasting and regular walks.

Ok ok, subscribed after having watched more than 2 hands full of vids, amazing stuff
