You must maintain a healthy lower calorie diet.Eat less carbohydrates and more whole foods and protein.Protein is helpful because it's the highest thermic food.Spread meals out to 5-6 per day rather than 3.
Diong crunches,sit ups,lying leg raises will help tone but they do not burn fat in a specific area.Do a search for spot reduction myth.
One of the ways this works is by stimulating new muscle growth thus metabolizing more calories even at rest(about 50 cal per pound of muscle).
The fact of the matter is you MUST just stick with it.Following some of the guidelines here will help.
It is also unnecessary to drink 8 8 ounce glasses of water per day.
Search medical myths 8 8 ounce glasses per day.
Calculate you BMR and consume less calories than you burn.
Do a search for basal metabolic rate
Consider some low carb protein bars.Stay away from granola and those type snacks.
This will dispel that stupid cabbage nonsense among other things.This is excerpted from a Yahoo! Health e mail.
The following diet myths come up over and over again at my nutrition center. My next two blog entries will help set the record straight. Hope you find this helpful!
If you eat late at night, the food turns straight into fat.
Not true.If your overall calories are appropriate for weight loss, you certainly can eat something after dinner. Late night calories will ultimately get used the next day (and even while you sleep).
However, for the sake of energy, it is always better to eat your calories during the day when your body needs the fuel. Plus, eating consistently throughout the day will stabilize blood sugar levels -- so you’ll feel energized and experience fewer cravings. If you are going to snack after dinner, I suggest choosing something 250 calories or less.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are more nutritious than frozen.
Not necessarily. Frozen can be a great produce option (just avoid varieties with added salt, sugar, and sauce). Frozen foods are picked in the peak of ripeness, then frozen. You can eat them as you need them -- and most of the nutrients are locked in. On the other hand, fresh fruit and vegetables are typically harvested before they ripen, and can have nutrient variability. Also, the longer fresh produce sits around in your fridge, the less nutrients it will contain.
Bottom line: Buy both fresh and frozen and eat as much as you can.
Cravings are your body's way of telling you it needs something.
This has never been proven. You normally crave what you like to eat (or smell or see someone else eating). Also, hormonal changes are sometimes responsible for food cravings. Ice cream and pickles anyone?
Any type of water is always better than soda.
No. There are a few caloric waters with sexy marketing ploys. In fact, some brands have quite a bit of sugar. Always check labels.
Certain foods, like grapefruit, celery, or cabbage soup can burn fat and make you lose weight.
These are anecdotal stories that have no scientific back up. It’s true these foods are low in calories, but they do NOT actually burn fat .
I would love to paste the links here for you but Yahoo! considers that spam and advertising.

70% diet. The things you eat, when and how often you eat and the quantity are important. I suggest that you combine them. But if you only work out from time to time, don't expect drastic change.
Both- making a diet and exercises without being informed how to do it correctly can cause health hazards. The best is seeing a dietologist (doctor). It's worth the money. You could start with not drinking soda, more that 3 beers and chocolate every day, eat more fruits and veggies, try to have at least 3 meals a day, not starving the hole day and eating a horse in the evening. Better eat often but less as a quantity. Don't starve- that's my advice.

You might think about trying this book called "The Movie Star Diet" by Steve Simmons. It helped me lose thirty pounds in 2 1/2 months when I didn't think anything would work. My goal to begin with was only 20 lbs! It has a really easy plan to follow and an excellent workout as well.

To get that flat tummy, u need lot of patience since that hard fat is easily earned and hard to loose!
You may use following guidlines:
1)steadily decrease oil(vanaspati,dalda) intake.
2)cut down fast foods.
3) Eat more in the morning(brown bread,green uncooked veg,egg-white,eedlies can do).Eat less in the afternoon and little for the dinner. Sleep atleast 45 minutes after the dinner.
4)decide ur meal timings and follow them strictly.
5)no IN-BITWEEN snacking.
6)cut down late night work.Sleep early(around 10:30 to 11 is fine.)Sleep max for 5 to 6 hours is generally enough.
7)Start with walking for 20 to 25 minutews daily in the morning.then swich to abbs exercises.
8)have active movents throught the day even if you have a sitting job.
8)keep positive attitude and inspire yourself continuously.
Remember u were NOT born with it. YOU hav got it and only YOU CAN get rid of it!!!

Diet is 70%. Exercise is the balance 30%. For the right diet, do see a dietician. As for exercise, concentrate on Cardio Vascular to lose the fat and crunches to tighten the stomach muscles. Exercise without diet wont get you good results while diet without exercise will get you some results. Good luck!

Lie on your kitchen floor. Knees up. Feet up under the bottom of your kitchen cabinet. Arms across your upper chest. Raise your upper back 1/4 up off the floor. HOLD yourself up for 20 seconds. FEEL your abs shake! Do not put your hands behind your head; you then are pulling yourself up. Do not go up higher than 1/4 of the way up. If you go up higher, your sides and back muscles are holding you up. Do every other day.
