    Unfortunately, we cannot spot reduce fat. We can work on strengthening and, with proper nutrition, building specific muscles. To lose fat on your stomach , eat in a caloric deficit, which means eating fewer calories than you burn. You can do that by eating less, moving more (all physical activity burns calories), or a combination.

    To add to this, it would be beneficial to follow a good lifting program as a means to build/retain muscle mass (http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10332083/which-lifting-program-is-the-best-for-you/p1).

    Also, not having a very aggressive deficit and having adequate protein will help preserve your muscle mass, which will make you leaner.

    Eat at a deficit day in and day out until the saggy flabby belly is gone. Target losing 1/2 pound to a pound a week and allow yourself the discipline and time to watch it dissipate.

    Any exercise that boosts your daily calorie burn to help with the deficit equation of CICO will be a bonus.

    Best of luck. It takes time, discipline and want.

    Calorie deficit. Though you can't do much for stretched skin unfortunately

    What if you can't do any of those exercises? And actually, there are other diets, not just fork put down, whatever.
    The thinnest people are the ones who advocate abstinence, in my experience. But excluding carbs and most importantly, sugar, are the two biggest helps I have found. There are exercises that help strengthen the stomach and back muscles (they work together).
    I hate the ads on this site, but an example of good ab exercises. Strengthen your core.
    Also search "stomach exercises" on YouTube, some good ones there!

    There isn't anything you can do to hit certain spots for fat loss. It's all just calorie deficit and the body will burn it off however it goes. Unfortunately the tummy is one of the last to go.

    Eat less, exercise more. Include cardio and strength. Make sure you are in a calorie deficit and get enough protein...

    even though they don't shrink the waist, posture strengthening, standing crunches and good old fashioned touch your toes with opposite hand (forward bends) tone all around the area and make me feel tighter. Meanwhile back to vegs. :)

    So people who abstain from what are the thinnest you know ? Food? Sex? Jaywalking? Why would that be?

    And carbs and sugar will make you fat irrespective of quantities and other intakes?

    And you think isolation exercises are the best stomach exercises for someone who is overweight

    Um

    No, no and nope..I'm not agreeing with any of your points

    You can buy this cream on Amazon it is called lovehandler. What it does is it has caffeine in it and you rub it on your problem areas. You can use it anytime, but I prefer to use it right before a workout. What it does is it targets the fat that you rub the cream on. It's really great stuff.

    Caffeine would have a small increase to heart rate, but it won't remove fat cells or decrease the size of those fat cells.

    There is no biological mechanic nor scientific concept behind which that could even possibly work ..not even the hint of one

    Don't waste your money

    while it may give you the appearance of losing in those areas, you really are not with the cream. if you think it works how about eating in asurplus and using the cream and see what kind of results you get.
