Why You Struggle to Lose Belly Fat (And How To Lose It) | Dr Pal

In this video I explain how to lose belly fat based on science, not shortcuts or extreme diets. Belly fat is not just about appearance, it is closely linked to visceral fat, hormones, stress, sleep, and metabolism. I explain why spot reduction does not work, why extreme dieting can make belly fat worse, and how calorie control, protein, smart carbs, gut health, strength training, and sleep work together to reduce belly fat safely. If you are struggling despite trying hard, this video will help you understand what actually works long term. ----- 00:00 – Intro 02:05 – Subcutaneous vs Visceral Fat 04:20 – Exercise Alone Doesn’t Reduce Belly Fat 06:38 – 🔴 INTEGRATION: NEW ME (Lifestyle & Health Transformation) 07:31 – Food Habits, Calories & Sustainable Fat Loss 10:45 – The Hidden Belly Fat Triggers 13:10 – Final Message: Consistency Over Extremes ----- Medical comedy (Medcom) shows: I love doing medical comedy (medcom) stand-up shows.
