Healthy Lifestyle: There are no pills that will get rid of belly fat. A healthy lifestyle will. Eating nutritious food, consuming less calories than you burn & exercise will help you lose weight. You also cannot target weight loss to one area, like your stomach. Ab exercises will help build muscle & more muscle requires more calories, so you burn more. In the end, it's all about calories in vs calories burned.

Dietary changes: Belly fat is most responsive to changes in your diet. Specifically, reducing the amount of starchy carbs such as bread, rice, pasta, and refined or processed grains will help you lose the fat in your abdominal area. You also need to eat fewer calories than needed in order to lose weight. Focus on lean proteins, fruits and vegetables, and you will see a reduction in belly fat.
