As 2025 comes to a close, many have met their fitness<\/a> goals while others have delayed them. If you want to lose stubborn belly fat<\/a>, the New Year is the perfect time to reset.<\/p>\n

Cardiologist Dr Pradip Jamnadas<\/a>, who has over 30 years of experience, has shared a safe and effective intermittent fasting plan. A user named Camus (@newstart_2024) posted the advice on X. The doctor’s structured approach targets visceral fat, the dangerous fat stored around internal organs.<\/p>\n

Start with a 12-12 fasting<\/p>\n

For beginners, Dr Jamnadas suggests that if a person is simply \u201clooking to reduce his visceral fat\u201d, then they should start with the \u201c12-12\u201d rule. This means for 12 hours, \u201cyou don\u2019t eat anything, you just drink liquids\u201d with no calories and then during the 12-hour window. He suggests continuing it for about two to three weeks.<\/p>\n

Progress to 18-6 fasting<\/p>\n

Once the 12-hour fast feels easy, move to an \u201c18-6\u201d schedule. This means you have a six-hour window for feeding. For the remaining 18 hours, you are allowed to consume only water, black tea, black coffee or green tea.<\/p>\n

Advanced fasting for bigger goals<\/p>\n

For people who are overweight or have diabetes and whose goal is to reverse the diabetes, Dr Jamnadas suggested, \u201cI will take them to a 48-hour fast once a week. Sometimes I\u2019ll go to a three-day water fast every nine days.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also emphasised switching to OMAD (one meal a day) after every nine days, \u201cthen you\u2019re going to give me a three-day water fast\u201d.<\/p>\n

Takeaway<\/p>\n

By gradually building fasting habits, starting with 12-12 and progressing carefully, individuals can target belly fat and improve metabolism. Dr Jamnadas\u2019 step-by-step approach offers a practical roadmap for those looking to make weight loss a New Year’s goal.<\/p>\n
