i am a very fit girl. Good long distance runner and pretty quick sprinter. I play alot of basketball. My legs are pure bulging muscles and my arms quite skinny. But i have a flabby belly, the lower half is the worst. I have tried situps and crunches but they just build up abbs under they layer of fat. I eat alot but of a balanced diet. I have a BMI of 21 so im not over weight. I would like to know some things i can try to tone my stomach. Drugs/pills or surgery is not a option, so no one bother suggesting that.

You can't spot reduce, you have to lose overall body fat. Eat five times a day, and never eat anything more than a single serving (read the label). Only single servings with less than 3g trans fats and 3g sugars. If you don't wake up hungry, then you ate too much the day before.

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!
Get started today!

The tummy is tricky. When your body is pulling from its fat reserves, belly fat is the second to last fat to go (the very last is on the face, i believe).
Basically, you just have to keep exercising and eating healthy. For a long time.

I had the same problem - rock hard abs... underneath a layer of flab that I just couldn't shake. I asked my personal trainer, and he said the only way to do it was to take ephedrine, and wrap clingfilm around your abdomen while you work out. I never tried it, so I can't tell you if it works.
