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 .....

    Keep it up! And try Pilates...it's amazing to watch how it reshapes people's bodies.

    Continue eating at a deficit, lift heavy (compound lifts), be patient.

    That area is the last area many of us lose fat.

    yep.

    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.
