    Deficit + Patience + Spanx

    Echo'ing the patience and deficit.

    Also, strength training will help make sure your weight loss = fat loss.

    I will also emphasize the resistance training since it wasn't mentioned much.

    How do you define resistance training?
    What type of exercises (specifically) would that be?

    So something where you use resistance and fail(can't do another rep) from 1-25 reps. Reps depend on your goals.

    Any exerise you're working against resistance, for example, bench press, or pushups. Both work same muscles but one uses weight the other doesn't. Some people ca use resistance bands as well too.


    Pilates with a resistance band focusing on the core??

    pilates is a form of resistance training, i just wouldn't focus on one muscle group such as "abs" got to work the entire body.

    Agree and I do.
    I aggravated a lower back injury and am looking to strengthen my core so I can back to lifting heavier for squats, dead lifts etc.

    Don't know what other people think about this, but I had good success with JM 6pack in 6 weeks.

    Did your belly 'disapeared'?

    You don't understand.

    What the girl said who did JM, burned more calories then she consumed. She was in a deficit.

    It was just a joke, lighten up LOL.

    If that was the magical awnser, I would have a flat tummy by now and I would not have asked this question of course.

    I know the awnser is deficit and patience. I guess this was one of those question where you already know the awnser. But it's nice to read evybody's view on this topic.

    It WILL go - I have had 3 kids, the last 11 months ago and finally mine is almost gone. I found out I have celiacs disease and so cut out all wheat and gluten which helped a lot. I do a lot of zigzag dieting which speeds up my motabalism and strength training. I use HIT exercise which really works for me.

    Yep, 2 kids. The last one 5 months ago. But I've never had a flat tummy in my lfe (it wasn't big also), but now I'm determined to have one LOL

    I do a lot of leg ups and a variety of sit ups. It has helped me a lot, but as everyone says, you won't see a true flat tummy until the excess fat is gone. If you want fast, try to up the intensity of your cardio too.

    Just watched the 5 foods to never eat video and to cut down belly fat. For those of you that don't have the time to watch it they are: concentrated fruit juices, marjorine (and things high in trans fats), whole wheat bread (it's processed and we all know we need to avoid that. Eat whole Grain instead), soy (91% is genetically modified), and GMO corn

    No.

    Please . . . no.

    Abs are exposed by having low body fat. If you eat in a manner that is congruent with this you will expose your abs.

    Fruit juice, margarine, and processed food has nothing to do with ab definition.

    i have stopped processed foods , grains, dairy, and my abs are starting to show, losing weight, I eat lots of fat...good fat, please explain.

    Your deficit is probably greater, since you've cut a lot of food items...that will also help weight loss:smile:

    Noooooo I hate 'patience' I want things fast LOL!

    Thanks you guys, now it's clear to me that there isn't anything else I can do and so - even if I like it or not - I have to be patient.

    I think patience is the hardest part. :flowerforyou:

    Running, my whole body has never been leaner than when i was running - outside, not on a treadmill if you can, your body moves differently!

    mine shifts when im doing a lot of horse riding like five - six hours a day, but I tend to struggle to get the fat off, I have a mega strong core but the layer of flabbiness doesn't tend to shift easily, I do a lot of crunches and a fair bit of running I think the rest is making sure you have a super healthy diet

    Because your body fat continued to drop. People tend to under estimate the amount of butter and other processed food calories they are taking in. One tablespoon of butter compared to two is a huge difference. It's also easier to feel fuller on "clean foods" compared to processed foods, meaning we naturally eat less. Not magic.

    You happened to lose your stomach fat last because that's how your body elected to store and use it, just like some people store more in their thighs. To test this out my friend and I (same height, same weight) ate identical diets and did identical workouts for several months. My thighs lost inches, her belly did. We store fat differently and use it from different places at different times.

    this is true ....I eat whole foods now and good fats and the difference was amazing for me anyways....guess it works different for everyone, it took me a long time to figure out what works for me, everyone finds that balance between food and exercise and seeing results differently .
