Answer 1

The first things you want to eliminate from what you eat are: sugar, fried foods, and white flour. You want to eat as natural and unprocessed food as possible.

Sugar, anything with it is bad. From Coco-Crispies cereal, nearly all sodas, to a small bag a M&M's. All turn into body fat fairly quickly.

Fried foods. Chips, french fries, etc. All have very high levels of calories and fat. Cut out mayonaisse while you're at it.

White flour. White breads, spahgetti, Ramen noodles, most cereals, tortillas (corn & flour).

Your going to want to eat 5-7 small meals/snacks in a day. That may seem like a lot of eating, but look at it this way. Say your lost in the woods and you need to make a fire that will last all night. Will the fire last longer throwing all the wood you've collected into the fire once or twice during the night, or if you toss a couple of logs in once every 45 minutes-hour?

Your body is pretty similar. You need to feed it a little bit every 2-3 hours to keep it burning fat. The longer you go in between meals, the more likely your body is going to store what you eat as fat. This is because your body doesn't realize that there is food everywhere in the world we live in. It still thinks your a cave-man. And cave-men didn't get to eat very often. Sometimes once every 3-5 days...starving. So our body is designed to store what we eat as fat, because fat has the most energy (calories) per pound. So, if you sleep all night, then skip breakfast and don't eat until lunch at say 11:30am...you probably haven't ate anything in 12+ hours. So, your body thinks your starving, that there is no food to eat. Then you eat a nice, greasy, calorie-loaded slice of pizza. Your body will then store most of it as fat because it thinks there is a food shortage.

Aim for 250-300 calories at each meal/snack.
Also try to eat 20-30 grams of protein at each meal. And of course, your going to want to keep even healthy carbs to a minimum (less than 80 grams a day).

The healthiest carbs are:
Yams
Oatmeal (no sugar)
Sweet Potatoes
Brown Rice

OK carbs are:
Whole-grain bread/buns/tortillas (whole-grain should be the first name on the ingredients list)
Fruits

Aside from the carbs listed above, your meals should consist of:
Chicken breast
Turkey breast
Tuna
Salmon
Egg whites
Almonds
Low-fat cheese (cottage, string cheese)
Lots of vegtables
Lots of water

You need to drink 1 gallon minimum per day. Water is what carries the toxins and fat you burn off out of your body through your urine. It also helps keep you feeling full and does wonders for your skin. If your urine isn't clear like water, drink more.

Also, take a multi-vitamin (like Centrum).

If you were to do cardio like ride a bike or jog for 20-45 minutes everyday AND diet, you'll be several sizes smaller in no time. But remember, losing weight is 90% about what you eat, not how much you exercise.

Bodybuilders and fitness models basically eat this way. Not only is it low calorie, low carb, high in protein and natural...it controls your blood/sugar levels and how your body uses the food based on the glycemic index.

Good luck!

Hey, good for you on the weight loss. For losing the stomach, I'd look for professional, or at least experienced, advice. If you sign up for free at eDiets.com it includes a newsletter. Many of the newsletters include Ab exercises that are all a little bit different. Some also recommend diet changes and things like that. Besides, every person is different, and so, you might have different reactions based on metabolism and the specific exercises you use. Some you are using may be only meant for certain ab muscles, but not all of them. Good luck!

Answer 3

The stomach IS the last thing to go. Plus if you have had any children or any kind of female surgery then it is going to make it a lot harder.
Try not to use sugar if at all possible. Not in tea, cokes, cereal or anything else you can think of.
And just keep up with all the other things you are doing.
Also stress will keep that extra weight on you. Try to eliminate as much stress in your life as possible.
And there are a lot of medications that will make it more difficult to loss that stomach fat.
Check out the web and read up on what medications cause weight gain, or make weight loss hard.

The main thing is that you are trying and making one hell of an effort. That in itself should make you feel good and make you proud of yourself..........Congrads

Answer 4

target training does add muscle but to loose the flab around your abs you need to combine a cardio and resistance training. Try brisk walking with your tummy tucked in and back straight for 15-20 minutes a day.
And you also need to cut down the portions of food intake. I eat everything even fatty foods and chocolates but in minimal portions.
At least my body doesn't feel deprived and I feel like I'm living the life that I want.

Answer 5

Sounds like you're doing all the right things, congratulations!
Are you drinking a lot of water? Drink lots of water, and no sodas of any kind. To lose fat you'll need to sweat - swim, or jog, or do stairs, just make sure you sweat. And keep drinking water. The fat will come off.

Keep up the good work!

Answer 6

yes,
you can't lose weight from a particular body part at one time, your body loses evreything in an even fashion
however if you build muscle in the area you can tone and tighten the local area.
continue eating a healthy balance of food and exercise regulary.

oh and exercise for 30 min in the morining before breakfast, so you burn from the stored energy, and don't eat within 2 hrs. before sleeping

Answer 7

i was told ab exercises won't do a thing to lose the fat, that all you can do is cardio, i have the same problem. i have an elliptical and bike it seems to help.
and carbs are the worst, they go straight to the stomach, so lower your intake of those.
Good luck

Answer 8

Sugars turn into fat around the middle: carbohydrates turn into sugar, and of course sugary foods. Pilates is excellent for toning the midsection.

Answer 9

i know how it feels i have stomach aches all the time to where i cant sit or lay down or nothing like . but to just to sit still sometimes helps (maybe not for some people) but never know till you try!

Answer 10

not that Ive had personal experience but i have heard that your stomach is the last to go,if you drink beer or eat sugary foods and carbs you should definitely stop!good luck
