Best way to lose weight

Bonga Gumede shared the best way women could lose weight:

“When it comes to belly fat, women often focus solely on ab workouts, but what truly matters is consistency in full-body resistance training combined with proper nutrition. Strength training (especially compound movements like squats, deadlifts, and rows) paired with a sustainable calorie deficit and regular walking/cardio is far more effective than endless crunches. Belly fat isn’t spot-reduced — it’s a byproduct of overall fat loss and hormone regulation.

“On pre-workout nutrition, an edible isn’t essential. While some may find value in it for energy or focus, a well-balanced pre-workout meal with complex carbs and protein (like oats with protein powder, or a banana and eggs) is more than sufficient. The goal is fueling your body, not relying on stimulants.”
