A fitness expert has revealed the one thing to cut out of your diet if you want to reduce belly fat fast.

Coach Gerard Hall's TikTok post is one of several from the content creator revealing how to accelerate weight loss. He says one key habit that can help reduce the two types of body fat which may be found in your stomach are in cutting out one item in particular. Showing himself in front of a photograph of a large belly, Gerard has since revealed how to reduce the fat around your midsection.

He says the one thing to cut out of your diet is alcohol and to tone down "binge drinking" sessions as there is hope for those whose fat around the belly has not yet hardened.

He said: "If your belly looks anything like this, I'm gonna show you how to lose it. So, we've got two types of fat that surround our midsection - subcutaneous fat, which is the outer layer, and then visceral fat, which surrounds all the organs.

"So again, if your belly looks anything like this, it's because you have too much visceral fat and that s**t starts to harden up and then you get a hard belly that becomes tough to poke. So here's how to lose it. Cut your alcohol consumption."

Fitness guru Gerard has since labelled drinking alcohol as "one of the worst things you can do to create visceral fat" and there are a few reasons for it. "Alcohol is super calorie dense and really easy to overdo," he revealed.

"It negatively impacts your hormones, like testosterone, and you're way more likely to make poor food choices when you're drinking. The body always breaks down alcohol before burning up your food, which basically stops all fat burning."

NHS guidance says you should not drink any more than 14 units of alcohol per week and note there is "no safe amount" of alcohol. Their advice reads: "Units are a simple way of expressing the quantity of pure alcohol in a drink.

"One unit equals 10ml or 8g of pure alcohol, which is around the amount of alcohol the average adult can process in an hour. This means that within an hour there should be, in theory, little or no alcohol left in the blood of an adult, although this will vary from person to person."
