Do you want to lose weight while filling up your body with yummy food? Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to starve yourself to burn belly fat. Jeremy Ethier is a kinesiologist fitness influencer with over 6.1 million YouTube followers and one million Instagram followers. He is famous for sharing science-backed training and nutritional videos, helping people lose weight and get into great shape. He recently dropped a YouTube video revealing five types of food that help melt belly fat away fast. Body Network’s Resident RDN, The Diet Diva, Tara Collingwood, MS, RDN, CSSD, LD/N, ACSM-CPT, a Board Certified Sports Dietitian and co-author of the Flat Belly Cookbook for Dummies, weighs in on his suggestions.

Low Calorie Density Foods

The first food on the list is “low calorie density foods,” those which “contain a ton of weight and volume for relatively few calories,” explains Ehier. “People who eat these foods consume fewer calories everyday but end up eating more actual food than those who don’t eat these foods.” He says that the best low calorie density foods for belly fat loss are “most fruits, vegetables, and low-fat foods.”

However, he doesn’t recommend completely restricting yourself from high calorie density foods. “You just want to eat less of them and add more low to moderate calorie density foods into your diet. For example, during breakfast, instead of having high sugar granola, go for a whole grain cereal with fruit,” he says.

Collingwood adds that the concept is also called “volumetrics” which is eating high water, high fiber foods that are dense in nutrition but fairly low in calories. “These foods fill you up and keep you full for longer and you look at a plate FULL of food, which feels good psychologically when you are trying to lose weight and don’t feel like you are eating really small amounts of food,” she explains.

Lean Proteins

“Depending on the type of food you eat, your body will burn a certain amount of calories just to digest that food. This is what’s known as the thermic effect of food and is part of what makes our next food, lean proteins, so effective for belly fat loss. The importance of having enough protein when losing fat goes far beyond this,” explains Ethier. “It’s the most important food to help you maintain or even build more muscle as you lose fat. This will not only help you look better once you get lean enough to lose your belly fat, but it also seems to correlate well with preventing fat regain after your diet is over.”

He recommends prioritizing lean proteins “that deliver significantly more protein for fewer calories,” like egg whites, shrimp, protein powder, low-fat greek yogurt, extra lean ground beef, chicken breast, turkey, tofu, and white fish. “You can still have the fattier protein sources in moderation, but by eating mostly leaner proteins, you’ll not only consume fewer calories, but you can also potentially swap those saved ‘fat’ calories for something else.”

Collingwood agrees that protein has the highest TEF (thermic effect of food) “which is part of the reason protein keeps you full for longer and is excellent for weight maintenance and weight loss,” she says. “Protein should be spread out throughout the day to optimize muscle most effectively.”

Omega-6 PUFA-Rich Food

The third type of food is those rich in omega-6 PUFAs. “You need about 20 to 30 percent of your calories to come from fats to support your general health and hormones. But the specific types of fat you eat matter when it comes to belly fat,” he explains. “To potentially avoid building up the dangerous fat in the belly and organs, try to moderate the amount of daily fats you get from saturated sources such as bacon, cheese, butter, cream, and fatty meats like pork and beef.”

Instead, he says to eat foods rich in omega-6 PUFAs, “such as nuts, seeds, and seed oils, as well as omega-3 PUFAs which have been shown to have other health benefits and can be found in sources such as salmon, tuna and flaxseed.” Omega-3 and natural sources of Omega-6 PUFAs are essential for good health “including for the brain and absorption of nutrients,” Collingwood agrees. “Saturated fats will not provide as much value and can be potentially dangerous for heart health.”

Beverages Sweetened with Non-Nutrtives

The 4th food on our list that’ll help you lose belly fat “is a controversial one,” claims Ethier, which “was put to the test in a 2015 study, where researchers took 300 overweight individuals and had them start the same weight loss program,” he says. The only difference? One group drank an additional 24 ounces of plain water, and the other, water that included a non-nutritive sweetener. “The sugar free group not only experienced significantly greater weight loss, but they were also better able to keep that weight off for good. Why? It's possible that in the water group, limiting access to sweet beverages may have promoted their desire to satisfy their cravings from other sources like candy and desserts,” he says. Collingwood notes that non nutritive sweeteners by themselves have not been proven to contribute to weight loss, “but when substituting for sugar containing foods/beverages they can help reduce overall calories,” she says. “In this study it isn’t clear why people drinking non-nutritive sweeteners would lose more weight, but it is a possibility that it helped to cut back on cravings for other sweets as postulated here.”

Foods You Love, But Modified

“So far I’ve given you a lot of great food options to lose fat. But let’s be honest, some of the foods I mentioned won’t appeal to you. Sure zucchini is a low calorie dense food and yes egg whites are a great lean protein source, but if you don’t enjoy those foods then don’t force yourself to eat them,” explains Ethier.

The key to making your diet stick? Is “to eat your favorite foods,” he admits. “Personally, I love wraps, burritos, and shawarmas so I make one every day. But I’ll incorporate what I taught you earlier about what to eat to lose belly fat by using a low calorie wrap or tortilla, adding plenty of veggies, using a lean protein source, and adding fats or calorie dense condiments in moderation. So pick a handful of your favorite foods from each of the categories we went through, add a couple of your favorite treats to have every now and then, and that’s pretty much your diet. It’s as simple as that.”

Collingwood agrees. “It is key to eat foods you like and to learn new ways to cook and season lower calorie foods so that you do look forward to eating them and enjoy them just as much as higher calorie versions of the same foods,” she says, “If you want something high calorie that just doesn’t have an acceptable lower calorie substitute, enjoy it in small portions and limit how often you indulge.”

Belly fat—also known as abdominal or visceral fat—is a particularly dangerous type of fat stored deep in the abdominal cavity underneath the muscle, surrounding vital organs such as the pancreas, liver, and intestines. “For women, a waist measurement of more than 35 inches (89 centimeters) signals an unhealthy amount of belly fat and a greater risk of health problems,” according to the Mayo Clinic. “In general, though, the greater the waist measurement, the higher the health risks.” While belly fat cannot be spot-targeted, certain things can help with fat-burning, and diet plays a crucial part in that. Here are five foods that can help encourage belly fat loss.

Get Enough Fiber

Research shows getting the right amount of fiber can help with weight loss (ideally from whole foods). "In addition to weight control, higher fiber diets can also help to prevent type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease," Dr. Frank Hu, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health, tells Harvard Health. Fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds, and whole grains are all high in fiber.

Good Quality Protein

Good quality protein such as eggs, dairy, meat, seafood, and tofu can help preserve lean body mass and encourage weight loss. “Increasing the amount of protein you eat can help reduce the buildup of harmful fats in your body, especially around your belly (abdomen),” say the experts at the Cleveland Clinic. “Protein is used to build muscle, so it can also help prevent muscle loss as you shed pounds.”

Probiotics, Please

Studies show that probiotic-packed yogurt can help fat loss. “When we put people on diets that include three servings of yogurt a day, we're able to nearly double the amount of fat that’s lost, compared to people on a low-dairy diet,” says University of Tennessee nutrition professor Michael Zemel, PhD. “We have one more tool to combat the obesity epidemic. People shoot themselves in the foot by jettisoning dairy when they go on diets. What they need to do is maintain or increase the dairy intake for a host of health-related reasons, and here's one more: it's going to help you burn fat.”

Try a Low-Carb Diet

Johns Hopkins researchers found that those who tried a low-carb diet lost an average of 10 pounds more than those on a low-fat diet (28.9 pounds for the low-carbers and 18.7 pounds for the low-fat people). Both groups took in the same amount of calories. “An extra benefit of the low-carb diet is that it produced a higher quality of weight loss,” according to Kerry Stewart, Ed.D. for Johns Hopkins Health. “With weight loss, fat is reduced, but there is also often a loss of lean tissue (muscle), which is not desirable. On both diets, there was a loss of about 2 to 3 pounds of good lean tissue along with the fat, which means that the fat loss percentage was much higher on the low-carb diet."

Studies show that drinking water can help encourage fat-burning. “Science suggests that water can help with weight loss in a variety of ways,” according to Johns Hopkins University. “It may suppress your appetite, boost your metabolism, and make exercise easier and more efficient, all of which could contribute to results on the scale.” And if you enjoyed this article, take advantage of these 15 Quick Ways to Lose Body Fat Percentage in a Week.

Stubborn belly fat can feel impossible to lose, no matter how many crunches you do or salads you eat. Millions of people hit the gym regularly and watch what they eat, yet still struggle to achieve the flat stomach they desire. According to fitness expert Natalia Hrybko, Online Coach and Personal Trainer, the solution might be simpler than you think. After years of frustration with her own fitness journey, Natalia discovered that quitting five specific daily habits was the key to finally achieving a flat belly, along with improved energy and mental health. By identifying and eliminating these common mistakes in your own routine, you could unlock the transformation you've been working so hard to achieve.

Stop Relying Only on Gym Workouts

Daily movement matters more than intense gym sessions. "Even if you're working out daily, sitting too much can slow down fat loss," Natalia explains in her post. Your activity level throughout the entire day plays a crucial role in burning calories and reducing belly fat.

After incorporating regular walks before or after work, Natalia saw dramatic improvements. "I started walking every day and guess what? Yes, flat stomach. But not only that, my energy was better. My mental health improved because I was walking outside, bare feet, on the beach, everywhere," she shares.

Don't rely solely on structured exercise—find ways to stay active throughout your day. "So, I recommend you to start moving, start running, walking, anything you wanna do, but just stay active if you want to lose belly fat," Natalia advises.

Stop Drinking Your Calories

Those "healthy" beverages might be sabotaging your progress. Many people don't realize how calorie-dense drinks can be, even the ones marketed as healthy options. "Hidden calories and sugar in sodas, fruit juices, and even healthy smoothies spike your blood sugar and lead to fat storage," Natalia warns.

Smoothies are particularly deceptive—they're often packed with calories while maintaining a healthy image. "Smoothies are the same, packed with lots of calories. And we all think it's healthy, but if you want to lose your belly fat, you watch those calories," she advises.

Natalia replaced these high-calorie beverages with water, herbal tea, and homemade green juice. "And green juice recipe, I already shared, but I will leave link here so you can check it out. My healthy green juice, the best. Homemade, the best. You know exactly how many calories and how healthy for you this green juice is," she says.

Quit Overeating "Healthy" Foods

Healthy doesn't mean unlimited. One of Natalia's biggest mistakes was believing she could eat unlimited amounts of nutritious foods without consequences. "I used to think when it's healthy, you can eat as much as you want," she admits.

Nuts, avocados, and protein bars are nutritious but also calorie-dense. "Yes, nuts, avocados, and protein bars are healthy, but they are also calorie-dense. If you eat them in large amounts, you can gain weight instead of losing it," Natalia explains.

Understanding that quality and quantity both matter was a game-changer for Natalia's belly fat loss journey. "So that was my biggest mistake. And I was overeating all these healthy foods," she shares. Pay attention to serving sizes, even with the most nutritious foods in your diet.

End Late-Night Snacking Habits

Your evening eating habits might be undermining your progress. "Do you know why people snack? Because they're not eating enough food during the day. Not enough protein, not enough fats and carbs. Not balanced," Natalia reveals. Unbalanced daytime nutrition leads to nighttime cravings that sabotage fat loss.

The solution isn't willpower—it's proper nourishment. "I made some changes in my nutrition. So I started to eat balanced foods, added more protein to my meals, and it's reduced craving. Second, I started to drink 2 liters of water every day. Same, reduced cravings," she shares.

What seemed like an impossible habit to break turned out to be manageable with the right approach. "And I thought it's very hard to stop snacking. Guys, it's not hard. I was there and you can do it. If you want to lose belly fat, try," Natalia encourages.

Stop Neglecting Your Protein Needs

Neglecting protein can undermine all your other efforts. "A low protein diet can lead to muscle loss and a slow metabolism, making fat loss harder," Natalia explains. Without adequate protein, you might maintain weight but lose muscle tone and struggle with energy levels.

"How to fix it? Include lean protein sources like chicken, fish, eggs, or plant-based options in every meal," she recommends. "For years, I was eating healthy but still struggling with fat loss, energy, and muscle tone. But then I've learned from my mistakes and I started eating more protein."

The results were transformative. "I felt stronger, more toned, and my cravings disappeared. I was finally feeling my body the right way," Natalia shares. She also recommends tracking your protein intake to see the difference for yourself. "It's a game-changer for fat loss and muscle tone,” she says.

Balance Your Daily Meals

Inconsistent eating leads to evening hunger pangs. "Do you know why people snack? Because they're not eating enough food during the day. Not enough protein, not enough fats and carbs. Not balanced," Natalia reveals in her video.

Creating balanced meals with appropriate portions of protein, fats, and carbohydrates keeps you satisfied longer. "I made some changes in my nutrition. I started to eat balanced foods, added more protein to my meals, and it reduced cravings," she explains about overcoming her nighttime eating habit.

When you provide your body with consistent, nutritious fuel throughout the day, you naturally reduce the urge to snack late at night. This simple adjustment helps prevent the additional calories that often contribute to stubborn belly fat.

Increase Your Water Intake

Hydration directly impacts appetite control and fat loss. "I started to drink 2 liters of water every day. Same, reduced cravings," Natalia shares about her personal experience after making this change.

Many people mistake thirst for hunger, leading to unnecessary snacking and calorie consumption. By staying well-hydrated, you can better distinguish between these signals and avoid eating when your body actually needs water.

Making water your primary beverage not only supports your metabolism but also replaces calorie-laden drinks that might be hindering your progress. Keep a water bottle with you as a visual reminder to maintain this healthy habit.

Add Daily Movement Beyond Workouts

Regular movement throughout the day burns more calories than gym sessions alone. As Natalia emphasizes, "I started walking every day after my work or before my work. I started walking and guess what? Yes, flat stomach."

The benefits extend beyond physical appearance. "My energy was better. My mental health was better because I was walking outside, bare feet, on the beach, everywhere," she shares, highlighting the comprehensive improvements she experienced.

Finding ways to incorporate more movement into your daily routine—whether through walking, taking the stairs, or active housework—creates a calorie deficit that contributes significantly to reducing belly fat over time.

Switch to Zero-Calorie Beverages

Liquid calories add up quickly without providing satiety. "Hidden calories and sugar in sodas, fruit juices, and even healthy smoothies spike your blood sugar and lead to fat storage," Natalia warns in her advice.

She recommends replacing these drinks with zero or low-calorie alternatives. "Instead, I started to drink water, herbal tea, and green juice," she says about the changes that supported her transformation.

Being mindful of what you drink is often an overlooked aspect of weight management. Eliminating caloric beverages can create a significant daily calorie deficit without requiring any additional exercise or food restrictions.

Commit to Consistent Changes

Sustainable results come from habits you can maintain long-term. "And that's it. 5 mistakes I did in my past and will not do it anymore," Natalia concludes about her transformed approach to health and fitness.


Rather than pursuing quick fixes or extreme measures, focus on incorporating these manageable adjustments into your lifestyle.

Do you want to burn fat without having to make major changes to your life? According to experts, there are a few simple things you can do to majorly amplify fat loss. Mike Diamonds, MD, founder of Sculpt by Science, is social media famous for sharing helpful hacks on how to get into shape and lose weight. In a recent clip, he reveals some little-known tips for burning belly fat. “These are five fat loss cheat codes. I wish I knew when I started,” he says at the start of the YouTube Shorts clip. We also asked our Resident RDN, The Diet Diva, Tara Collingwood, MS, RDN, CSSD, LD/N, ACSM-CPT, a Board Certified Sports Dietitian, and co-author of the Flat Belly Cookbook for Dummies, to weigh in.

Walk for Cardio

“Number one, walking should be your main form of cardio,” says Diamonds, citing research that has shown that it burns the most fat. “I’m not sure it actually burns the most fat, but low to moderate intensity cardio is great, especially for beginners,” says Collingood. “Walking is simple—it doesn't take any equipment other than a good pair of shoes,” she adds. It can also be social. “Meet friends or family or take the dog with you for a nice brisk walk.”

High Protein Diet

Next, “the formula to being able to build muscle and lose fat is a high protein diet,” claims Diamonds. “30 to 50 grams per meal multiplied by a caloric deficit and weightlifting.” Collingwood agrees that you “definitely want protein to maintain and build muscle,” adding that it also keeps you satisfied.

Seven to Eight Hours of Sleep

“Three, sleep a minimum of seven to eight hours,” says Diamonds. “Sleeping any less will feel like playing Call of Duty or FIFA in hard mode.” Collingwood agrees that sleep is “absolutely necessary,” recommending 7 to 9 hours “to recover the body and help with hormone regulation.”

Morning Workouts and Exercise in Afternoon

“Train in the morning and eat in the afternoon. Myself and my clients find the most productive formula is to train in the morning and then break your fast after midday,” claims Diamonds. “Morning is great for training but if you wait several hours to eat you are leaving yourself open to poor recovery,” notes Collingwood. “It is better to eat something within an hour after training, especially if training is intense or long.”

Eat the Same Food Every Day for a Week

And his last tip, “track your diet for one day and then eat the same food every day for a week. This will make your journey so much easier,” he says. “Tracking what you eat can be very eye opening, but it’s not necessary to eat the same thing every day,” says Collingwood. “Variety is better for the gut microbiome and to keep you from getting bored or feeling deprived.”

Losing belly fat is a top goal for many, but keeping it off is often the real challenge. Thankfully, recent research has pinpointed effective methods that can help you shed belly fat quickly and, even better, keep it from coming back. These science-backed strategies focus on boosting metabolism, managing stress, and improving muscle tone—all of which contribute to lasting belly fat loss. Incorporating these methods into your routine can accelerate fat burning and lead to a leaner, more defined midsection that lasts. Here’s what researchers say is the fastest way to melt belly fat and keep it off for good.

Prioritize High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

Burns Fat in Less Time

HIIT workouts are known for their efficiency in burning fat, especially around the belly. By alternating between short bursts of intense activity and brief rest periods, HIIT increases calorie burn both during and after your workout. Studies show that HIIT is one of the most effective exercises for targeting belly fat, making it ideal for those looking to shed weight fast.

Eat Protein at Every Meal to Boost Metabolism

Supports Fat-Burning and Muscle Preservation

Protein-rich foods help increase the thermic effect of food, meaning your body burns more calories during digestion. Eating protein at every meal also helps maintain muscle mass, which is essential for a higher metabolism. This increase in metabolic rate aids in keeping belly fat off, even when you’re not working out.

Incorporate Strength Training for Lasting Fat Loss

Build Muscle to Burn More Calories

Strength training, like lifting weights or resistance exercises, builds muscle, which naturally burns more calories at rest. This long-term increase in calorie burn is key to keeping belly fat off. Adding strength training to your weekly routine not only sculpts your body but also ensures that any lost fat stays gone.

Reduce Refined Carbs to Prevent Fat Storage

Control Blood Sugar and Insulin Spikes

Refined carbs, such as white bread and sugary snacks, can cause blood sugar spikes that lead to insulin release—a hormone that promotes fat storage, particularly in the belly area. Opting for whole grains instead helps keep blood sugar stable, which is essential for both losing belly fat and keeping it off.

Practice Mindful Eating to Avoid Overeating

Stay Aware of Hunger and Fullness Cues

Mindful eating involves paying attention to your hunger and fullness cues, which can prevent overeating and help manage calorie intake. Research shows that people who practice mindful eating are more likely to maintain weight loss, as it helps them avoid unnecessary snacking and portion control issues that contribute to belly fat.

Get 7–8 Hours of Quality Sleep Each Night

Improves Fat-Burning Hormones

Sleep is essential for regulating the hormones that control hunger and fat storage, like leptin and cortisol. Studies show that a lack of sleep can lead to increased cravings and belly fat storage. Prioritizing sleep supports hormone balance, making it easier to lose and maintain a flat stomach.

Drink Green Tea Daily to Boost Metabolism

Catechins in Green Tea Enhance Fat Burning

Green tea contains antioxidants called catechins that stimulate fat burning, especially in the belly area. Drinking green tea regularly can increase your metabolic rate, helping you burn more calories and specifically target stubborn fat stores. A cup or two a day is a simple habit that can lead to lasting results.

Manage Stress Levels to Reduce Cortisol

Lower Cortisol to Prevent Belly Fat Accumulation

Chronic stress leads to elevated cortisol levels, which are associated with increased belly fat. Practicing stress management techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, or even daily walks, can help lower cortisol and prevent stress-related weight gain in the midsection. Following these research-backed methods can help you achieve a leaner waistline and prevent the return of belly fat. Each of these strategies is designed to maximize fat burning and support metabolic health, making it easier to maintain a healthy weight and toned midsection over time.

We've all been there – struggling to find an exercise routine that actually works while watching the scale refuse to budge. Kathleen Hart, Mindset & Weight Loss Coach, knows this challenge all too well. After losing 55 pounds three separate times and keeping it off for over 3 years, Kathleen has built a following of nearly 100,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel lil Piece of Hart by sharing practical, sustainable weight loss strategies. Her secret weapon? Walking 10,000 steps daily – a simple habit that helped her drop from 200 pounds to 138. Read on to discover how this accessible exercise can transform your body and mindset without complicated workout routines.

The 10,000 Step Secret

Walking might seem too simple to be effective, but Kathleen swears it's "probably the best exercise you can do for weight loss." She explains that getting her steps in every day was "literally the exact key" to how she lost over 55 pounds three times. The beauty of walking, Kathleen points out, is that unlike other exercises, it "does not feel like exercise" – it's enjoyable and incredibly beneficial for your body. Her personal sweet spot? "I aim to get about 10,000 steps every day and I feel like that is my sweet spot," Kathleen shares.

Perfect for Exercise-Haters

If traditional workouts make you cringe, you're not alone. "I hate exercising. There you go, I said it," Kathleen confesses. She doesn't enjoy home workout videos or going to the gym. Yet walking provides a perfect alternative because it's fun and doesn't feel like a chore. Kathleen tried following online workout programs but couldn't stick with them, whereas walking became something she genuinely looks forward to daily.

Anyone Can Do It

One major advantage of walking is its accessibility. "Anyone can do it, all ages, and it is a low impact workout," Kathleen emphasizes. You won't put stress on your joints or knees while still burning calories. Since most people can walk for long distances and periods, it's an exercise option that doesn't require special skills or equipment. Kathleen recommends this approach especially for those who think they can only walk for a few minutes – just aim to add slightly more time each day.

Belly Fat Buster

Looking to target stubborn belly fat? Walking might be your answer. "Walking can reduce belly fat because regular walking can help your body's response to insulin, which is where you hold your belly fat," Kathleen shares from personal experience. Plus, it boosts your metabolism, which helps with overall weight loss. While spot reduction isn't generally possible, improving insulin sensitivity through regular walking can significantly impact how your body stores fat around your midsection.

Mental Health Benefits

Physical transformation isn't the only benefit of daily walks. "Walking is awesome for your mental health," Kathleen stresses. It modifies your nervous system and can actually decrease feelings of anger and stress hormone production. Taking time for yourself during walks provides valuable "me time" that many of us overlook. Kathleen believes mindset is just as important as exercise and nutrition in your weight loss journey, making walking a powerful tool for both physical and mental wellness.

Health Beyond Weight Loss

The benefits of walking extend far beyond just losing pounds. Kathleen explains that regular walking "has the power to lower your blood sugar," reducing your overall diabetes risk. It also helps lower blood pressure and aids in healthy digestion. Additionally, walking strengthens your bones and muscles by maintaining range of motion and improving blood flow. For Kathleen, these health benefits make walking worthwhile even beyond its weight loss effects.

Vitamin D Boost

Taking your walks outdoors provides an additional benefit: natural vitamin D from sunshine. "I'm right in the sun, as you can see me squinting. This is so good for you," Kathleen says enthusiastically. This natural vitamin source contributes to better overall health and can improve your mood. Combined with the physical activity, outdoor walking creates a powerful wellness combination that indoor exercises can't match.

Better Sleep and Stress Relief

Establishing a walking routine creates positive ripple effects throughout your life. Kathleen points out that "by walking and getting more steps and getting your vitamin D and improving your digestion, you are going to get better sleep." Walking also serves as an effective stress reliever by modifying your nervous system to release anger. These benefits create a positive cycle – better sleep leads to better mood, which makes it easier to maintain healthy habits.

Start Small and Build Up

For beginners, Kathleen recommends starting slow: "See how many steps you're walking right now every single day, and just make an improvement a little bit each day." There's no need to jump from 2,000 to 10,000 steps immediately. "It doesn't have to go from 2,000 steps a day all the way up to 10,000 steps in one day," Kathleen emphasizes. When she began her weight loss journey in 2013, she was walking fewer than 2,000 steps daily with her desk job, but evening walks with her husband and dogs became a turning point.

Track Your Progress

Using a fitness tracker can significantly boost motivation. "Fitbits are a great place to start if you're just trying to track your steps," Kathleen advises, though she's since upgraded to an Apple Watch. She finds step tracking "a little bit addicting" because "you like when your Fitbit buzzes and you see your little step goal going up." This immediate feedback creates a rewarding experience that helps maintain consistency in your walking routine.

Challenge Yourself

Once you've established a walking routine, it's time to increase the challenge. Kathleen suggests walking faster: "Push yourself just a little bit faster. Start off slow if you need to and then increase how fast you're walking." For treadmill users, she recommends a structured workout: start with a 2-3 minute slow warmup, then alternate between fast walking (one minute) and medium pace (one minute) for 20-25 minutes, followed by a 2-3 minute cooldown. This interval approach maximizes calorie burn without overwhelming your body.

The 10K Steps Weight Loss Formula

Through trial and error, Kathleen discovered her personal step goal: "I aim to get about 10,000 steps every day and I feel like that is my sweet spot." This target allows her flexibility with her diet while still making progress toward her goals. "That helps me have a little bit of wiggle room with my diet and still be able to crush my goals," Kathleen explains. She shares that she's currently down to 138 pounds from her starting weight of 200 pounds after having her daughter. Finding your personal "sweet spot" might take experimentation, but Kathleen encourages consistency over perfection.

Real Results, No Magic Pills

Weight loss isn't a quick fix, as Kathleen candidly shares: "There's no magic weight loss pill. There's no like apple cider vinegar drink that you can drink that'll just make you drop pounds." Instead, she encourages readers to "start enjoying the journey and the whole thing will change for you." Walking provides a sustainable approach that can become an enjoyable part of your daily life rather than another dreaded obligation. "Losing weight is a journey," Kathleen reminds us, and her impressive 50-pound weight loss in 5 months through walking 10,000 steps daily proves that simple, consistent habits can create dramatic transformations.

If you have over 50 pounds to lose, it can feel overwhelming. One way to ease the burden is by getting advice from weight loss warriors who have successfully gotten in shape and are sharing their solutions. Tara Dixon is a personal trainer and online coach who helps women “find the best version of themselves, lose weight & break free from fad diets,” she writes in her Instagram bio. In a recent social media post, she revealed her top 5 asked questions about how she lost 84 lbs in a year. “Just remember what worked for me might not work for everyone!” she reminded.

I Worked Out My Calorie Deficit

“How do you work out your calorie deficit?” is the top question she is asked. “I guessed at first… and guess what? I wasn’t eating enough 🤣. And then I found out about a TDEE calculator (I used a free one online) and this should give you your deficit. 3 months into my journey, I started working with a coach (worth its weight in gold if this is something you can afford). My top tips with this… always make sure you are eating enough, you can’t function and workout effectively if you don’t eat enough. Don’t stress too much over cals: try it for a week, if you’re being honest with your tracking and still not losing weight, you can lower it slightly. Keep it simple,” she said.

I Tracked My Macros

Next, she is regularly asked about how she tracked her macros. “What do I track with? NUTRACHECK. I find it simple and clear. Easy to track cals and protein,” she reveals.

I Ate Enough Protein

Protein is another core part of any weight loss journey, and Tara made sure to eat enough. “How do I get 150g protein in every day?” is another FAQ her followers have. “Plan your meals around your protein and make sure your breakfast is protein heavy so you’re not chasing your tail all day long,” she responds.

I Cut Out Alcohol

A lot of people also want to know: “Did you cut out alcohol?” she says. “I did at first as I was so determined to lose weight, but I have since reintroduced it. Just remember nothing is forever and it’s ok to stop something for a bit if it’s not serving you in a positive way.”

I Prioritized Nutrition Over Exercise

The last question: Is exercise more important than diet? “Nooooo. You cannot outrun a bad diet. For weight loss it’s all about nutrition and calorie deficit. Steps second and then exercise. So if you’re strapped for time but really want to lose weight, prioritise your nutrition,” she says.

The Challenge That Changes Everything

We all have moments when we look in the mirror and don't recognize the person staring back. Jennifer Madison found herself at that crossroads and decided to take action. "It was honestly kind of on a whim that I decided to do this," Jennifer admits in her post. "I gave up alcohol not too long ago, just because I wanted to feel better about myself, and I felt like alcohol wasn't helping with any of my goals." Her journey began after hitting 38 days alcohol-free, coincidentally the same number of days she lasted in her previous 75 Hard attempt. This time would be different. Discover how this ordinary woman achieved extraordinary results through pure determination.

What Is 75 Hard Anyway?

75 Hard isn't just another fitness challenge—it's a complete mental toughness program designed to transform your life through discipline. The rules are simple but demanding: take a daily progress photo, drink a gallon of water, follow a diet with no cheat meals or alcohol, complete two 45-minute workouts (one outdoors regardless of weather), and read 10 pages of a non-fiction book. Miss one task, and you start over at day one. "If you're already looking for excuses, there are plenty out there," Jennifer says. "There will always be an important event coming up. The weather won't always be 70 and sunny." But the rewards are worth every sacrifice.

The First Week Breakthrough

Committing to something is always easier than maintaining it, especially when old habits try to pull you back. Jennifer started strong but knew the real challenge would come during her commute days. "I don't know yet if I'm going to share this, or if I want to put it out there again with the world that I'm trying again," she confessed early on. "I know my family is not going to want me to do this again, so I haven't told anyone because I truly was at a really, really dark place last time." Despite her doubts, the results came quickly—she dropped 5.2 pounds in just one week, proving that immediate payoff can fuel long-term commitment.

Overcoming Social Pressure

Social situations become minefields when you're committed to strict habits. Jennifer faced this head-on during work dinners and celebrations. "Everyone was drinking wine. They were like, 'Oh Jen didn't get a glass.' They told the waiter it was my birthday. He got me a little shot of vodka and pineapple juice. I gave it to a co-worker," Jennifer recalls. She even resorted to smashing cake into a napkin to avoid breaking her commitment when pressured to eat dessert. While these moments were challenging, they strengthened her resolve and showed that saying "no" gets easier with practice.

The Weather Won't Stop You

Mother Nature doesn't care about your fitness goals, but true transformation means persevering anyway. "It's pouring. So this is what I looked like coming back into work. I'm soaked. My pants are soaked. My shoes are soaked. My socks are soaked. I look like a wet dog but I got my 45 minutes in so that's what counts," Jennifer shared after a particularly brutal outdoor workout. Through rain, cold, and exhaustion, she never missed a day. Your excuses about weather conditions will seem insignificant after seeing what's possible with true commitment.

Hitting the 38-Day Milestone

Breaking past your previous failure point creates powerful momentum. Day 38 marked a significant psychological milestone for Jennifer—the day she had given up during her first attempt. "I am feeling so happy. My spirits are very high. I am on cloud nine, honestly," Jennifer revealed. "I'm gonna accomplish it this time around. I know I'm gonna hit all 75 days." Pushing through your former breaking point proves that your past doesn't define your future. You can rewrite your story with persistence.

The Physical Transformation

Consistent effort yields undeniable results. Jennifer lost an impressive 25 pounds during her 75 Hard journey, but the benefits went far beyond numbers on a scale. "My mom kept commenting on how my face looks so much skinnier. I just look in the mirror and I look at myself in the camera so much that I don't really notice the changes," Jennifer remarked. Sometimes others notice our transformation before we do. Your daily progress may seem small, but others will see the dramatic difference when your discipline accumulates over weeks and months.

Developing Healthy Nutrition Habits

Food discipline isn't just about following rules—it's about developing better awareness of your body's actual needs. "Something I really struggle with and something I'm really working on is trying to control food noise and figuring out am I eating because I feel like it's time to eat or am I eating because I'm hungry," Jennifer shared. Throughout the challenge, she learned to resist social eating cues and listen to her body instead. You'll discover that many of your eating habits are based on convenience or social pressure rather than genuine hunger.

Finding Joy in Movement

Exercise becomes something you crave rather than dread when it becomes part of your identity. Jennifer gradually shifted from reluctant workouts to enthusiastic movement. "I feel so good. If I could, I would do midday workouts all the time. I feel like I have the most energy to do my best workouts," she noticed by the end of her journey. Your relationship with physical activity can transform completely when you commit to consistent practice regardless of motivation.

The Mental Transformation

The physical changes are impressive, but the mental shift is what truly lasts. "I give up too often and I'm changing who I am. I'm not that person anymore. I don't give up on things. I follow through with things. I accomplish my goals," Jennifer declared during the final third of her challenge. This mental toughness extends to every area of life, from career ambitions to personal relationships. You'll develop a proven track record with yourself that builds unshakable self-trust.

Life After 75 Hard

Completing a challenge means nothing if you return to old habits. The true test comes after day 75. "In the nearly two months that have passed since doing 75 Hard, I've lost even more weight and feel better than I ever did," Jennifer reported. She maintained her reading habit, consistent workouts, outdoor walks, and even added weight training. The challenge provided the structure to develop habits that became a sustainable lifestyle. Your transformation doesn't have to end when the challenge does.

Start Your Own Transformation Today

Jennifer's journey proves that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary results through consistent discipline. She started just like you—uncertain, with plenty of excuses and past failures. Yet 75 days of unwavering commitment completely transformed both her body and mindset. "If someone told you that you could change your entire life in just two and a half months, would you do the work necessary to make the change?" Jennifer asks. The answer is up to you, but her results speak for themselves. What could you accomplish in the next 75 days?
