How to Lose Belly Muscle

Most people wish to have strong, toned abs. However, some people build muscle easily and end up having abs that are a little too defined. If you feel your abdominal muscles are just too strong or too toned, there are various ways to lose that muscle in your belly. As when trying to lose fat, to lose muscle cut calories and do cardio. At the same time, reduce strength training. In a short time, you will progressively start to lose your belly muscle.

Instructions

    • 1

      Cut calories. To maintain muscle, you need calories, particularly from protein. If you want to lose muscle, reduce your calorie intake. This will push your body into starvation mode, causing your body to store fat and burn muscle, since your body knows that muscle burns calories faster than fat.

    • 2

      Eat as little protein as possible. Protein helps to build muscles. The less protein you eat, the less chance your muscles will have to grow. However, your body does need protein to function well.

    • 3

      Do cardio first thing in the morning before eating. This will force your body to burn muscle rather than burning any food you’ve consumed that day.

    • 4

      Stop or reduce your abdominal workout. Severely restrict the frequency of your ab workout or stop it all together to keep your body from building more abdominal muscles.
