There are a lot of different “quick fixes”, but what you really want to avoid is using a “crash diet.” A crash diet essentially means that you try to starve yourself by purposely eating as little as possible in hopes it will help you burn fat. For example, many people try to eat only one meal a day and try to maintain this as a lifestyle. A crash diet will only cause you more grief then results. It will put your body into starvation mode and crash your metabolism. You may lose some belly fat but in the long run your metabolism will slow down and you will lose muscle mass. This makes it even harder to burn belly fat.

There is ultimately one hormone that controls whether or not you can reduce bingo wings: insulin. Thus, your main priority when trying to get rid of the dreaded bingo wings is to lower this hormone.

Unfortunately, you could literally spend the majority of your day exercising, but if your levels of insulin are chronically elevated, the bingo wings will never go away. I wish there was a way to circumvent this, but there is not.
