8 Tips To Lose Belly Fat

I had a hard and heavy Dad Fitness workout today.

This is a bit more volume than I usually do but I am sticking with this AB split for the next few weeks before I head on vacation and take a break from heavy training.

This is the B workout. I will post A workout tomorrow.

Barbell Deadlifts, 3 sets of 4-6 reps
Chin-Ups, 2 sets of 6-8 reps
Bulgarian Split Squats, 2 sets of 6-8 reps
Seated Calf Raises, 2 sets of 8-10 reps
Barbell Curls, 2 sets of 6 reps
Reverse Preacher Curls, 2 sets of 6 reps
EZ Bar Reverse Curls, 2 sets of 6 reps

I also have a special treat for you Dad Fitness Fanatics!

I went out and tracked down the top guy when it comes to getting ripped lean 6 pack abs, Vince Delmonte.

Man, this guy was hard to get in touch with as he is in such demand and he has one of the most popular fitness sites on the entire internet!

But I FINALLY got an exclusive interview with him and got some really great tips out of him on how to lose belly fat and get lean hard abs.

Vince has a new ab and fat loss system, Your Six Pack Quest.

This is the same step-by-step road map used to take a regular guy, Peter Carvell, who was cursed with horrible genes and magically transformed his 276 pounds of stubborn, ugly, belly fat into a stunning, sexy, rock-hard body with eye-popping six pack abs.... and all in 24 weeks!

Here is the interview I did with him exclusively for Dad Fitness.

1. What is the biggest mistake men make when trying to get 6 pack abs?

Winging it and just "hoping" the fat will come off. How do you believe that you consistently lose fat each and every week until your shredded without following a specific plan.

Most importantly, not having a pre-designed meal plan that is based on a set number of calories and tells you exactly what to eat, at what times and in what amounts and exactly what to shop for.

If you do not have a specific meal plan and just trying to "eat healthy" then how do you know at the end of the day if you over consumed or under consumed? How do you know what to change next week when you get on the scale and have plateaued? How can I help you tweak your diet if you're not even following one?

2. Do I have to give up alcohol to get rid of that "beer gut"?

A better question is this, "Will alcohol get me closer to my goal or further from my goal?" The reality is that it alcohol delays the fat burning process because your body converts it to acetate which becomes the fuel your body uses and the fat burning process gets put on "pause."

If you can accept that alcohol will slow your progress than take responsibility of that decision and don't complain if you only start losing 1 pound per week instead of 2 pounds.

I personally cut out alcohol completely, since it's s sugar, with about 6-8 weeks out before a competition because I want everything I do to move me closer to my six-pack and not further away.

3. What are your top 10 foods to lose fat fast?

In no particular order. My top three carb courses are veggies, oatmeal and brown rice. My top three protein soruces would be egg whites, chicken breast and fish. My top three fat sources would be olive oil, fish oil and mixed nuts (but these need to be measured out). I would also add salsa because it's a "free food" and very versatile and can be added to almost any meal to make it manage the craving and it's delicious to survive the boredom.

4. Do you need to do cardio to burn body fat? If so, what kind of cardio is the most effective?

Unless you have amazing genetics than you can probably eat whatever you want and do zero cardio and still have ripped abs but lets leave those people out of the equation.

Fat is simply "stored energy' and we need to burn that energy off our bodies. There is no "best" form of cardio because I have gotten ripped doing interval cardio, long and slow cardio and a mixture. It all works and just depends on your fitness level, your time availability and what you prefer.

Personally I like to do long and slow cardio on an empty stomach in the early morning for about 45-60 minutes - this does not drain me for my weights later that day and it does not strip my muscle off.

In the evening, after my weights, I 'll do another 20-30 minutes of interval cardio or moderate intensity cardio to really dig out the fat.

My cardio regime might appear intense and my total training volume can be over 2 hours a day during the last 4 weeks before a show - but realize that I progressed to this over time.

A beginner should create a "pre-set" cardio regime and just add "sessions" or "units of time" each week if necessary. For example, you might start with four 45-minute cardio sessions and then add a five 45-minute sessions when your progress halts. A few weeks later you might need to add a sixth 45-minute session. However, if you are dropping weight with four 45-minutes sessions then you don't need to add the fifth.

There is no magic formula that works like fairy dust. You need to be involved in the process and watch your body change and add more intensity and volume based on your progress. This is not a guessing game and "hoping it will come off" game.
