A member asked:
Are there any diets for exercise plans that target belly fat?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Exercise does not target specific fat areas. While people can deposit fat asymmetrically, exercise only affects the local muscles. That is, situps don't take off belly fat. Diets likewise. Overall weight loss removes overall fat including belly fat.

Agree w Dr. Moor.: Spot fat loss does not occur naturally. By losing weight in general some will probably be abdominal fat. But, we don't get to choose what area of body fat is lost from. Eat healthy ; be physically active. Calories burned must > those consumed. Tighten ab's: crunches, reverse crunches, exercise ball crunches, pelvic thrusts, lying leg raises, side bridge ; “bicycling” exercise on back.
