Yes sit-ups will help, but the best is eating a healthy diet and doing cardio. Also, lifting weights in conjunction with cardio helps burn fat faster.

Only in the fact that it requires energy to complete a sit-up. Other than that, it can actually make your stomach BIGGER. that's right, when a muscle is stimulated, it may grow.
I know this is rocket science so listen closely people, muscles just might GROW when worked out. Sorry to disappoint you.
Now, a good diet and a lot of cardio (20-45 minutes 1-2 times daily) can help in losing fat.

no im sorry, doing sit ups alone will not burn fat. only a combination of eating healthy, cardio and resitance training will burn fat because it has been proven over and over again.

Crunches are easier on your back and work just as well.
