In the Nine feature, “How to burn stomach fat”, writer Stuart Marsh explores one of the most common health goals — achieving a lean, toned midsection. The article highlights insights from Ricardo Riskalla, founder of RawFit, who shares expert advice on the role of nutrition and sustainable training in reducing body fat.
Ricardo explains that most people mistakenly focus on exercise alone when, in reality, “getting leaner all over” is primarily a matter of diet. He emphasises the importance of clean, unprocessed foods and balanced portion control, recommending the Japanese concept of hara hachi bun me — eating until 80 per cent full — as a key to longevity and effective fat loss. Ricardo’s contribution positions him as a credible authority on holistic fitness, guiding readers towards achievable and realistic results rather than quick fixes.
