You can't spot reduce; you need to reduce your overall body fat. There is no magic weight-loss pill, supplement, fad diet, or juice. The ONLY way to lose weight is to consume less calories than you burn. Brad Pitt didn’t get cut for Fight Club by drinking green tea, and you won’t either.

Walk for 30 minutes every day, including weekends, Mondays, and Fridays. Do at least 30 minutes of weight training each week. Do 60 minutes of additional, higher intensity cardio each week.

Cut back on the foods you eat with high fat and high sugar content. Eat only single servings (read the label) with less than 3 grams trans fat and 3 grams sugars. Throw out all of your ice cream, chips, cookies, cheese, fried foods, bacon, and candy.

Eat breakfast, and eat five small meals per day instead of three big meals. Don’t starve yourself during the day, but if you don't wake up famished, then you ate too much the day before. Stop eating at least two hours before you go to bed.

Get 6 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Turn off the TV and the computer. Sleep is vitally important.

Don't consume alcohol—alcohol is nothing more than empty calories with no nutritional value. Some people will argue that alcohol has some health benefits when consumed in moderation—I’m not debating that—but we’re talking about weight loss here. Lay off the booze if you want to lose the fat.

Drink lots of water, then drink more. Not tea, not Gatorade, not milk. Water. If your urine isn’t almost clear, you need to drink more water.

Good luck.

Crunches are for the purpose of building muscles mainly in the upper abdomen. However, they are the key to six-pack abs if you have little belly fat.

To reduce belly fat, good excersises are running/jogging, jumping rope, and jumping jacks. These are cardiovascular/aerobic exercises. Other cardiovascular/aerobic exercises are swimming, hiking, and step-climbing. Do these and you'll have no belly fat in no time.

Big causes of belly fat are bad posture/slouching because one of the biggest jobs of the abdomen is to hold the body up. Stress is another big factor because when the body is stressed, your body makes a high-calorie chemical and sends it through your blodstream, adding fat to unwanted areas.

You also should be on a low calorie diet, but not on one less than 1500 calories a day, because muscles are the first food for the body if it does not have enough energy (calories). This is because muscles are protein and protein is the best food for your body. The diet should consist of fruits and vegetables and you should remove all junk foods such as pizza, french fries, chips, pretzels, burgers, Pop-Tarts, and so on. NEVER GO TO MCDONALDS...their food is extremely high in calories; three of their shakes have over 1100 calories!!! For more info on McDonalds nutrional info go to http://www.mcdonalds.com/app_controller.nutrition.index1.html

If you want to get a six-pack and have little belly fat, you should buy a Cross Crunch for 30 dollars. To do this go to http://crosscrunch.com.

I hope this helped you!!!
