How I Shed Belly Fat in Just One Week with Science-Backed Methods

 

How I Lost My Belly Fat in 1 Week (Using Science)

Losing belly fat has become a common goal for many seeking a healthier lifestyle. While it is not typically feasible to achieve significant transformation in just one week, I managed to see meaningful results by applying scientifically-backed strategies. Here’s a recount of my journey and the evidence-based techniques I employed to shed unwanted belly fat in a short span of time.

Understanding Belly Fat

Before diving into the techniques I used, it’s important to understand why belly fat (visceral fat) can be particularly concerning. It wraps around vital organs, and its excess is linked to conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Thus, targeting belly fat requires both dietary adjustments and lifestyle changes.

My Plan: A Scientific Approach

1. Caloric Deficit

The cornerstone of weight loss is maintaining a caloric deficit, meaning you consume fewer calories than you burn. To achieve this, I calculated my Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) using an online calculator that factors in age, weight, height, and activity level. I aimed for a deficit of about 500 calories per day—sufficient for noticeable changes without feeling deprived.

Tip: Use apps like MyFitnessPal or Cronometer to track your caloric intake and expenditure effectively.

2. Eliminate Processed Foods

In the week leading up to my weight loss goal, I prioritized whole foods and eliminated processed options from my diet. Research shows that processed foods often contain added sugars and unhealthy fats, which can lead to overeating and fat accumulation. Instead, I focused on:

  • Lean proteins (chicken, fish, legumes)
  • Fruits and vegetables (spinach, berries, broccoli)
  • Whole grains (quinoa, brown rice)

3. Increase Protein Intake

Studies have indicated that protein can enhance feelings of fullness and boost metabolism. For my meals, I made sure to include a source of protein at every occasion, which helped suppress my appetite and reduce snacking. I also incorporated protein shakes as a convenient and low-calorie option.

4. Hydration is Key

Drinking water not only aids digestion but also supports metabolism and helps control appetite. I made it a point to drink at least 2 liters of water daily, and a glass before each meal to help moderate my calorie intake.

5. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

Incorporating HIIT into my exercise routine proved transformative. Research suggests that HIIT can burn fat more effectively than steady-state cardio exercises. I conducted three sessions of HIIT during the week, each lasting about 20-30 minutes, alternating between intense bursts of activity (like burpees and sprinting) and rest periods.

6. Prioritize Sleep

Lack of sleep is often underappreciated as a contributor to weight gain. It can disrupt hormones that regulate hunger and appetite. I aimed for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night, establishing a consistent bedtime routine and minimizing screen time before bed to enhance my sleep quality.

7. Stress Management

Chronic stress can trigger the release of cortisol, a hormone directly linked to the accumulation of belly fat. I employed mindfulness techniques such as meditation and deep breathing exercises to manage stress, in addition to engaging in regular walks in nature.

Results and Reflections

At the end of the week, not only did I see a reduction in my waist circumference, but I also felt lighter, more energetic, and aware of my body’s needs. While one week might not be enough to achieve a significant transformation, it can indeed set the stage for long-term, sustainable weight loss.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Stay Balanced & Consistent: Rely on a mix of dietary changes, hydration, physical activity, and mental well-being.
  2. Monitor Progress: Keep track of what works for you and adjust your approach as necessary.
  3. Focus on Lifestyle Changes: Aim for habits that you can maintain in the long run rather than quick-fix solutions.

As I continue my journey beyond that pivotal week, I am committed to applying these principles for lasting results. Remember, the journey to a healthier body is a marathon, not a sprint; however, leveraging science can propel you forward on your path.

  1. lol you my friend have a gut full of parasites. Ive been basically zero carbs for years and you can't do a week????? Those parasites are craving sugar. Not you.!!!!

  2. The challenge to sleep properly definitely is the biggest challenge. Mentally getting through by doing fasting and just OMAD around dinner is manageable. But waking up 2 AM and not being to sleep is the hardest for me 😪 A smaller deficit is slower but definitely more sustainable 😊

  3. I love you, man!
    Thank you for the informative vid.
    Come visit Osaka. Takoyaki and sake will be on me.

  4. Best part about quitting sugar in tea is how bad it tastes if you have it again and it starts to taste far too sweet so it’s almost undeinkable with even 1/2 a spoon of sugar, also quit coffee for a few months then drink a coffee and you’ll realize how quickly you crash a few hours after consuming it

  5. You lost me at the 1,320 caloric deficit. I would not be able to function at all, period. I was struggling enough with a 500 calorie deficit, when I was on that.

    Nope.

    I’ve been doing cryoslimming, and while it takes a bit longer than a week, but not months upon months, I’m great with it, and don’t have to torture myself.

  6. Losing subcutaneous fat may help you look better abs wise but what’s more important is losing visceral fat and wish you measured that

  7. hahaha I can imagine the SMELL of Your farts after few hours ;D I think it's best if you live solo for whole week 😀 seriously!

  8. I've done this multiple times and you're absolutely right. The self control necessary to not "yo yo" is insane.

  9. Am I wrong if instead of dropping to this extremely low deficit, I just increase my total Dailly energy expenditure from my sitting down doing nothing expenditure of 2000 calories to 3000, then I can eat 2000 calories still and be in a 1000 calorie per day deficit still , whilst consuming a reasonable amount of protein and carbs to fuel me mentally and physically? I mean that is still 2lbs a week of weight loss.

  10. To whoever is watching this, this is not safe for a lot of people to do. I know a lot of people who are desperate to lose fat and weight will see this as a quick hack, and sure, it works, but it can be dangerous. Please consult your doctor or a nutritionist first. If anything, just do a less extreme version of this. Losing 1% bodyfat per month is still very fast, there's no need to go for 1% bodyfat a week, especially if it can destroy your body permanently. If you drive a lot, have jobs that require moderate physical strength, keep in mind that all of these things will be risky for you to do. You're literally starving your body very suddenly. Also, what you do AFTER losing bodyfat is even more important. Sure, if you survive this plan then that's great, but what then? You'll likely go back to eating and binging again and regain all of the fat and weight that you've tried so hard to lose. Make sure you have a plan afterwards to maintain it too.

  11. I'm in the first 30 sec of the video and expecting him at some point to bring up "Mummy's approval " as usual (: …

  12. This video is hilarious bro! You get a gold star for being overly dramatic. 4 days of calorie restriction (which looks like about 2000 anyway, which isn't "extreme" in any way shape or form) and you're already crying lol!

    Your girl is probably wondering what it's like to be with a guy who won't cry when he's a little hungry. I'll assume you need to be dramatic for your youtube videos and aren't actually this soft.

    And why would you cut back your workouts just because you eat less?

    Viewers, if you want to lose weight fast, figure out your maintenance calories (how many calories keep you exactly at your current weight) then just cut it and work out hard. Increase lean protein, limit fat and carbs. That is all.

    Oh, and don't be a pussy. That's guaranteed to increase your T levels, a sure way to keep belly fat down.

  13. Jeremy I like your content, but it's not that hard haha. Every January I do alternate day eating for a month with 1500 calories a day on eating days of pure protein and less than 10 carbs. It sucks but its just will power

  14. I've done numerous 7 day water fasts, and am VERY familiar with that drag-iness after day 4. The solution that works like a charm (for me) is to take epsom salts baths starting on day 3 or 4. That gets magnesium back into your system through the skin. I should work in this context as well.

    Note that the big influencers (starting with Peter Attia) no longer advocate for extended fasts, out of concern for muscle wasting. But if you work out during the fast, it shouldn't be a real problem. And lifters can regain their muscle in a matter of weeks. But the benefits of the fast (for me – a reduction of chronic muscle pains) continue.

  15. After watching this video, I tried this diet before going on my cruise and I lost 1.9 percent body fat. I went from 17.3% to 15.4% in six days! The diet did suck but the results did make me want to continue a healthy diet to continue losing body fat.i also went from 173 lbs to 168. I also lost .4% muscle. I believe that’s bc I found it difficult to hit the protein requirements within such a small caloric intake. Everything else, I followed to the t.

  16. Started doing this 5 days ago since I saw your vid (being told not to do it made me want to do it more). I started at around the same body weight of 165 but I am at around 18% body fat. Now I understand the part about feeling like shit and having no energy, but I swear I look the same. Waist measurement is the same and idk if I just have extreme body dysmorphia or if this ain’t working for me lol. I down around 2 lbs but I suspect it’s mostly water weight.

  17. Soo looks like i did this diet when i started losing weights 6 months ago i lost 30kg in 6 months and when i counted the calories during that it was around 900 with workouts and i didnt know it about 4 months in the weight loss i started counting calories and started eating around 1600 calories but today and some days i binge eat yeah its once a week never 2 days a row or 2 days a week only happens once a week. Mostly it happens when im angry, and i got bdd too. Im 170cm and 68kg now was around 96kg
