Is there actually a way to burn fat in your body without exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: Contrary to what dr. Oz and many other people who would like to promote certain pills for sale claim, burning fat is a factor of what you don't eat as opposed to what you do, and a factor of physical activity. See a physician or nutritionist trained in weight loss if you need to lose weight. They can help you lose weight.
