Eat for Abs

Hi all.
This is the first time I've posted, I was just looking for some advice and opinion.
I eat pretty healthily, my diet mainly consists of vegetables, eggs, fish and quorn and I exercise every day - I've been doing Insanity for three weeks now.
I've lost weight - about 11 pounds since January, which I'm really pleased about, but I can't seem to get rid of my belly fat or firm up my lower abs.
I do eat very well mainly, but I do have treats - lattes and cookies with my boyfriend sometimes. Could it be these tricks that are stopping my goals?
Would love to know what you all think - my diet is public, so if you want to look please do.
Thanks Vy

Keep at it, don't give up.....
I have dropped from 26.4 to 19.3 BF% in the last 2 months. And still have a dang gut.....It will be the last bit of blubber to leave me also ......My legs are getting more defined, my arms are starting to look cut, but I still have 3 extra inches around the middle .....LOL...
You will get there, as will I, just stick with it .....0 -
Keep it up! And try Pilates...it's amazing to watch how it reshapes people's bodies.0

Continue eating at a deficit, lift heavy (compound lifts), be patient.
That area is the last area many of us lose fat.
yep.0 -
are you eating enough? Insanity comes with a great section on calculating how much you should be eating and deficits and all of that.
I can tell you, from experience, that if I don't eat enough when doing insanity that I feel like a giant, bloated, mushier than when I started BLOB. It is high intensity cardio and must be met with adequate calories.0
