Hello,

Belly fat is difficult to loose and the best way to help with it is to watch your diet and also exercise regularly. A healthy diet with less fat and more fruit and vegetables will give you less calories per day and a regular exercise, at least half an hour a day and gradually increase it, will help burn more calories and develop the muscles in the tummy area and will result in belly fat reduction.
Products that say they are for fat loss or belly fat loss are most of the time ineffective and not safe for your health.

I hope I have answered to your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind regards,
