I'm a medium-sized girl but have a lot of stubborn fat around my stomach that makes me really uncomfortable. Is there any way to reduce this without surgery? I'd love to know what options might work for me.

Get active. Strength training exercises are recommended at least twice a week. If you want to lose weight or meet specific fitness goals, you might need to exercise more. There is some evidence that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can help reduce belly fat, as can strength training

I'm a mom with a 4-year-old, and I'm hoping to reduce my belly fat and weight. Last year, I started drinking honey lemon water, but it made me feel dizzy. Now I'm thinking about trying it again. Should I give it a go, and are there any precautions I should take this time?

I'm currently weighing 78 kg and I'm 168 cm tall. I'm really trying to lose some weight and I've already cut out all junk food, fats, and sugar from my diet. What else can I do to effectively lose weight? Should I be worried about anything, given my current weight and height?

I'm curious about the effects of water fastingI recently did it for 5 days without eating, just drinking water, and lost about 2 kg. I'm worried about whether I'll gain the weight back after I stop fasting. Also, I'm wondering if water fasting has any negative impact on my body or if there are any side effects I should be aware of. Can you shed some light on this?
