Move

Physical activity helps burn abdominal fat. For most people, 30 to 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise nearly every day.

Weight train

Adding even moderate strength training to aerobic exercise helps build lean muscle mass, which causes you to burn more calories.

Food labels

Always read food labels and see how much carbs and fats or proteins you're consuming. Don't be fooled by fat-free foods!

No processed foods

Packaged foods are heavy on trans fats, sugar and added salt or sodium—three things that make it difficult to lose weight.

Low-carb diet

Low-carb diet leads to a higher quality of weight loss. With weight loss, fat is reduced, but there is also often a loss of lean tissue (muscle), which is not desirable so don't do a low-fat diet.

Research shows that one is more likely to eat better and exercise more if his/her friends or family are doing the same.
