Question: Is it better to count calories or fat when trying to lose belly fat!?
I have a little bit of belly fat and I'm wondering if I should count calories or fat [in addition to exercise]!. I watch both, but which should I focus on more!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
The short answer is it is better to count calories!. You lose weight when you burn more calories than you consume, and the breakdown of fat/carb/protein in those calories isn't too important!. And incidentally, your body will lose fat where it wants to, which may or may not be your belly!. There is some evidence that belly fat is corrolated with stress, but in general neither diet nor exercise can target on particular area of your body and remove fat from it!.
What is better than counting fat, or even calories, is paying attention to the quality of your food!. You should have a plant based diet, by which I don't mean vegan (which I am not) or vegetarian (which I am) but getting most of your calories from plant sources!. You should eat foods that are processed as little as possible: fresh fruits, lots of vegetables, whole grains, organic eggs, grass fed beef, etc!.
Finally, a great thing to do is avoid most foods labeled as cholesterol free (usually high in fat), fat free (high in processed carbs), sugar free (high in artificial sweeteners which disrupt your body's ability to tell you when you are full), trans-fat free (either has a little trans-fat or a lot of saturated fat), saturated fat free (same as above by vice-versa), low net-carb (usually has lab-produced, artificial, gas-inducing carbs), etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
