Well, I hate to call you on this one, but the dude says precisely the opposite—
that you cannot target belly fat—23 seconds into the video. The entire point of the video is exactly that.
Yes, it's a click-bait title, but this guy never once tries to convince anyone that you can do so. He goes into detail about how the body burns fat from all over, but that belly fat is just among the last to go. So, the emphaisis of the video is on proper diet, calorie deficit (including fasting), and weight-training to further burn off glycogen stores so that your body will metabolize stored fat from all over,
eventually leading to reduced belly fat. Basically, he says that you have to work through all of the other fat before you can truly target those stubborn remains on the midriff.
In other words,
Brad, he says
exactly what you just said.
Which is why I linked the video, by the way.
