Im just wondering if i can lose belly fat by counting calories and doing the elliptical? And does that help you lose neck fat too?

    yep, all you need is a calorie deficit and some regular exercise... but unfortunately your body will lose fat from where ever it likes, not necessarily your belly or neck first so you need to be patient.

    Apparently building muscle burns belly fat. Not belly muscle/abs, all muscles.

    I just read exactly the same in Gizmodo, that fat's worst enemy is muscles. So I've been doing elliptical, treadmill, and a bit of cycling, but also alternating with some routines of push-ups, sit ups and squats. I'm hoping with this I will get rid of the beer belly :)
