Just 1–2 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil a day can burn belly fat fast—but only if you’re using it right fat the right way! In this video, I explain why people in Mediterranean countries were eating large amounts of fat yet staying lean, what makes extra virgin olive oil behave differently than other fats, and how it flips powerful fat-burning switches inside your body.
You’ll learn how olive oil naturally crushes hunger, boosts thermogenesis, activates brown fat, improves gut bacteria, and supports the liver in a way that directly impacts stubborn belly fat. I also break down how much to use, when to use it, and what to look for when choosing an extra virgin olive oil so you don’t accidentally turn a fat-burning tool into another source of empty calories.
If you’ve been struggling with belly fat despite eating better and exercising, this simple daily habit could be the missing piece.

Good morning
We were told as teenagers in the '70s, do not eat any fat, it will make you fat!
Any particular brand of EVOO?
We are watching from Sardinia and we can get really good EVOO. How much should we be ingesting daily to burn fat and not gain weight?

cant stand it. Also not good for me as i have GERD
Yep. I was on the famous Carnivore diet. As I was stacking up the months on this way of eating. My pain in my body kept getting worse. I could barely walk. My knees were killing me. I got my blood work done and my CRP doubled from the previous test 6 months before. So I did some research. With the help of deep search ai platforms. I decided to switch to Mediterranean diet. I asked what do they eat. I asked how much evoo they ate in a day. I cut out all the sat fats. I added more tumeric,omegas supplements,etc. I added leafy greens, whole grains,legumes,of course EVOO and i eat sardines 3 times a week. And you know 70% my pain went away within 2 weeks. I was totally suprised and elated. I love this way of eating. I am enjoying food again. Thanks Dr.
Well said young sir!
I rub beef and pork fat on my hair and skin. They feel unbelievable!
Be careful when purchasing Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It should be Cold Press, and from either Italy, Spain or Turkey etc. one region and not multiple areas. The color is important, good olive oil has a greenish color, but some fakers put cheap oil in green colored bottles, so please read your labels. We buy from Turkey, called "Greenist" Company since 1979, another product from Turkey is, "Altin Shemen" 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil, all natural Cold Press. Read your labels. Thank you Dr. Livingood!
i havent watched you for awhile.
you must have read my comment from back then? coz your speech speed isn this video was perfect for my listening and learning. …a very welcome change. Thanks. Marvelous info. Needed info.
I havent eaten anything processed in 2 months. All fresh, organic, lots of cabbage with carrots and onions.
Hey doc i have a question if your cholesterol is consistently 180-212 should you limit the fats that you are talking about here?
Fat Free cookies, everyone was eating them a box at a time no fat but almost pure carbs and bad carbs too
What’s a good salad recipe with olive oil?
Did anyone get caught off-guard at 1:12 by that ladies cool wavy salad fork? Totally broke my focus! 😄
I have watched at least 3 videos from reputable people about evoo. Why won't any of you name 2 or 3 brands to buy? It's very hard to stand in the store and read all the labels, esp with serious vision loss.
EVOO makes me sick. I swell up & feel tearable. I didn't believe it so I stopped using it, then used it again. No not for me.
I do a shot of it everyday with lemon juice and cayenne pepper
Tip: Stop looking for tricks. For fat loss, the body only understands math: Caloric Deficit. The best way to stay in a deficit is to track intake with MyFitnessPal, Lose It!, or Cronometer. Eating extra virgin olive oil will not mute your appetite or cause more calorie burn – it will just increase your caloric intake. I'm an Italian – it doesn't work. Even if it did, it's negligible. Get the app and track what you put in your mouth. Best of luck.
1–2 tablespoons for belly fat risk reduction? 🔥 Now I’m curious what this liquid is!”
This was intentional by big pharma, etc.
Gives me diarrhea…
MCT oil works too. It and apple cider vinegar has helped me go from a size 12 to a 6 in less than a year. I stay full, don't feel starved, and don't have the effects of insulin spikes.
Yes, they used to say
"eat fat, get fat".
