| 0:00.0 | All right. How do I lose belly fat? So the first thing is going to be diet. You want a high protein diet. Generally I will start at |
| 0:15.8 | one gram per pound body weight. Fat is going to be around anywhere between 0.25 and 0.4 times body weight. |
| 0:28.0 | Usual starting point for me is going to be 0.3. |
| 0:30.4 | It really depends on you know how much fat you have to lose and what you do best on in terms of carbs or |
