A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
The correct way to burn fat and stay healthy is to burn more calories than you consume
You need to make sure you are eating healthy foods while still excercising
If you have a big appetite drink plenty of water so that you will feel full but not consume calories
But you should always eat
If you start to skip meals you will only be more hungry at your next meal and probably eat way too much
Remember, the average persons stomach is as big as a slice of pizza scrunched up into a ball
So you shouldnt be putting more food into your stomach than what fits
Also, it takes aproximately 15-20 minutes for your brain to realize that you are full
so eat slower and you will realize sooner when you are not hungry anymore

ALSO....
i found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People
How to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.
Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.
This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.

There are no "magic pills or potions" - no matter what anyone tells you. "Spot" exercising doesn't work nor does doing exercises for a certain section of your body, as you have found out. That's why you still have the excess belly fat. The only way to get rid of it is to lose weight all over your entire body - only then will you be able to get rid of the stubborn belly fat that we all hate. Stress also plays an important factor. Good luck to you.

There are different types of fat. You might have a type of fat that is considered toxic fat...which comes from eating things like processed cheese and so on.

The body then encapsulates this fat, and treats it like a foreign body/object.

If you want to get rid of it, you are gonna have to work really hard at cardio.

30 Mins cardio 5 times a week. It is a long slow process, but worth it in the end.

You might find that your tummy fat is in fact bloating due to an allergy of certain foods.

Pilates is a very hard ab workout. I mean REALLY hard. You may not drop the weight right away cause you build heavy muscle first. After about 6 weeks you will start noticing a 4 pack and if keep at it you will have and awesome body. Make sure to eat healthy also!

Late at night do about 10 to 20 crunches on the floor until it hurts real bad. Or start dancing. I'm 12 and I already have a 4 pack.

Why are you complaining? Size 0-1? Honey, you're ultra skinny and if you wan to tone your belly do some cardio and crunches. Must be nice to be a zero rather than a size 5-7

Homeopathic Treatment for Excessive Fat and Weight :-
PHYTOLACCA BERRY's Mother Tincture is perhaps the safest and sure fire way of loosing excessive fat around abdomen. With Phytolacca Berry once you loose the excessive fat and weight you don't get it back because you body takes care of itself after that and keeps you from gathering up excessive fat. It is prescribed after having a baby too, to get the tummy to loose its flab and to make it flatter and tighter. And after loosing weight with this you don't get flabby it tightens up the flab and skin along with helping your body to shed the excessive accumulation of fat around the girth
The dosage is 15 to 20 drops of the tincture in half a cup of hot water thrice a day half hour before or after meals.
Avoid Chocolates, Coffee, Mints, Red Meat and Carbonated and Alcoholic drinks while taking Homeopathic Medicines. You have to take it for at least 30 to 45 days after that you start to feel the results.
To the best of my knowledge its the safest and the most sure fire way of loosing fat and weight and keeping it of for keeps. Excellent remedy for Obese people who cant seem to shed weight despite trying.
Homeopathic Remedies can be found at all Major Herbal Stores or could be bought on line, In most of the world Homeopathic remedies are quite cheap and easy to find and they do not need a prescription.
Take care and God Bless !

Sometimes excess belly fat is caused by medical conditions. If you are exercising and eating right and it's still there, you might have a medical condition. Ask your doctor.
