Fitness Coach Devin Physique Says Endless Crunches Wont Burn Belly Fat Heres What Works Instead

Devin highlighted that belly fat isn’t only about doing more ab workouts. First, we need to understand why it's stuck. Belly fat is tied to your cortisol, your insulin, and your total body fat. High stress and bad sleep keep cortisol high, which stores fat right around your midsection.

According to Devin, even if you can do 1,000 crunches a day and it won't touch it. You burn belly fat by lowering stress, eating in a deficit, and building muscle.

According to Devin, here are the five things that actually burn belly fat:

1. Eat in a calorie deficit. Fat leaves your whole body, not just your stomach.

2. Hit a gram of protein per pound of goal bodyweight.

5. Sleep 7 to 9 hours and cut the alcohol.

Lean proteins (chicken, beef, fish, eggs)

High fibre veggies (broccoli, spinach, peppers)

Cut the liquid calories, processed snacks, and alcohol.

Devin highlights that stop wasting time on endless ab workouts. You need to lower your stress, eat in a deficit, build muscle, and the belly fat comes off.
