Answer 1

To get six pack abs and lose stomach fat requires a careful balance between two things - Exercise and Nutrition.

You need to eat healthy to eliminate the layer of fat covering your abs and perform cardio, weightlifting and abdominal exercises.

doing crunches wont help - all they do is build muscle, they dont burn any fat
the only fat burning exercise is cardio.
we cant spot reduce body fat so the only way to get rid of fat in any specific areas is by lowering your body fat percentage
find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio is the only fat burning exercise and burns fat all over your body (running, jogging, swimming, spinning, elliptical etc) 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), weight training a few days a week but never work on the same muscle group two days in a row (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Answer 3

Most people have misconceptions about stomach crunches and the effect it will have on the fat in that area.

Oprah talks about ab workouts on her Web site. In one post, Oprah responds to a question about ab fat. She writes: “For me, it's about sit-ups. I do about 300 sit-ups a day.” But in another post, her trainer Greene recommends against this. In response to a reader who asks whether she should do crunches to deal with “trouble” in her stomach area, he says, “Unfortunately, many people do crunches solely to lose fat in their abdominal area. And quite frankly, you could do crunches all day long, and they would have little effect on the fat that is deposited around your mid-section.”

The common thought is that when you do enough stomach crunches or sit-ups, you will over time burn fat on your abdominals. And scientifically, biologically, and physiologically, this is 100 percent false. (Well, more like 99 percent, let me explain.)

Here's an example: you hear of how people start walking everyday and end up losing weight. Sometimes even hundreds of pounds for some individuals. Walking primarily uses the legs; but these weight loss successers never just lose weight on their legs, their arms, chest, and stomach all end up leaner over time.

When your body uses fat as a source of energy, it never uses just that fat on that exclusive body part you are working, every molecule of fat in your body has the potential to be used as energy. So you could be walking everyday and in a week, not notice a single thing different in your legs, but your arms may not be as bulky as they were. Your body chooses what fat goes first through a pre-determined, genetic set of instructions. You have no control of what fat is burned on your body.

With that said, it may take a lot of effort to get rid of that belly. You may have a genetic disposition to carrying fat on your abdominals, so you need something that works.

Crunches are great for building muscular endurance and strength in your abdominals, and it adds support to your back. But when over done, ab moves like crunches can put a lot of strain on the back. Don't overdo them.

If you want to lose fat, focus on cardiovascular activity. Do a combination of low and high-intensity exercises. (This is based on your maximum heart rate. It's 220 minus your age. Low intensity exercise will get your heart rate to about 65-70 percent of your max heart rate, high intensity is more around 80-90 percent.) Find an activity you like and stick with it. Try hiking, biking, running, workout videos, whatever you need to do your cardio. Do what amount of exercise fits your lifestyle but don't overdo it. Overtraining causes many injuries and does more harm than good. And as for water, do drink lots of it.

You may notice a change right away, or it might take a couple weeks. Just don't give up.

Good luck.
