    No foods target belly fat. No exercises target belly fat. Belly fat is just like all the rest of your body fat and your genetics will decide for you where it comes off.

    thanks for the link usmcmp, I'm already on low calorie diet and strength training, but can't see any actual results....any guess?
    Chances are your expectations are too high and that if you've got little to lose, the body fights reducing body fat down to lower levels.
    There are lots of variables and not enough info to know.

    Would you be willing to post some studies you have read that demonstrate your point? This could help a lot of immensely.

    You made a claim that 10% protein and 80% carbs would help her reach her goals. We're just asking for some science on how it would help. Most of us tend to offer suggestions based on research, so we would like to see studies that it would be helpful for her goals and not counterproductive.

    Miracle food?? no such thing.

    You can't spot reduce fat.
    All you can do is eat a caloric deficit - meet your macros and micros - and lose overall body fat.

    A high carb (80%), low fat (10%), low protein (10%) vegan diet will help! ;)

    10% protein? That's enough to spare muscles? On the average person?

    More that enough. But please do your own research - I switched from full blown 'omnivore' to a Vegan diet last October & I haven't looked back since. Loads of energy, no more 'feeling sluggish' etc.

    It's working for me anyway ;)
