What is considered best: to count calories or fat when trying to lose belly fat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Calories are the: Deciding factor. You can't specifically get rid of lower abdominal fat by spot reducing. If you lose weight a portion of that weight loss will reduce abdominal fat. Additionally, core toning exercises will help you stand more erect & improve your appearance. To lose weight keep up your physical activity and ensure that calories burned exceed calories consumed. No matter what ads promise –.
