How to remove lower abdomen fat?

I've lost almost 10lbs and am not seeing any difference to my belly. It's the biggest part of my body. It's just below my naval where all the fat is. It's like a tyre around my waist. My top two packs are showing and I would like the rest of them to show. I know spot reduction can't be done but is there anything I can do?

I am a personal trainer as well as a health coach and unfortunately there is no way to specifically spot reduce fat, however eating a balanced diet with daily exercise will get you the fat loss you are looking for. Adding in strength training such as scissor kicks, flutter kicks or really an type of abdominal exercise with get you that toned look!!0

You just have to keep working at it and focus on getting leaner. It's true what they say. Abs are made in the kitchen! That area will start to shrink eventually.0

no, everybody's body is different. 10 pounds lost for me may be an inch on my waste and it may be 3 inches for somebody else, or even nothing for another.
Just go through teh regular weight loss journey and you will eventually lose the fat, but you may lose it in other places first.0 -
Liposuction can target that specific area.0

Yes I think it would be,"tyre" is the British spelling of "tire" :-)0 -
Tyre as in a car tyre. Not tire as in fatigue.0

Recent studies suggest that stress may contribute to fat accumulation around the mid-riff... at least that's the rumour I started... Look into it.. or don't... SO.. while "spot reduction" is impossible short of invasive surgery... YOU can help yourself by making an effort to deal with your daily stressors... and stresses... learn to meditate, take up a martial art... find something that helps YOU find perspective...0

Probably from Australia / Britain where it is actually .. Tyre.
But the issue .. well it is very possible. I have lost 9.5 inches of abdominal fat in the last 8 months (4 in the first month alone. I don't know what I did that month, but I would bottle it and make millions). With lots of hard work .. some resistance training every week, lots of walking, and of course a reasonable calorie deficit will get you there.
I am far from an expert but I agree, you cannot just lose abdominal fat. Your body will lose as it wants to, there is no stopping that.0 -
Thank you. The funny thing is I'm from the US so I've been spelling tire wrong all this time! I'm currently in the UK, so I guess that's an excusable error.0

One great tip is to ignore all those ads that pop up about "5 foods never to eat to melt belly fat" - it's all BS!!0

^^^ this
in British English tyre is a thing you put on a car's wheel, and tire is what happens when you get tired... as in a British mechanic saying "I don't like changing all these tyres, it really tires me out..."0 -

it is the hardest area to lose from. but i have good news! you're 18 years old, and in a much better position to lose it than guys 30+.* keep eating right, and exercising hard. barbell training is your friend.
*yes, i know older guys can have a rocking six pack, it's just a bit easier when you're younger!!0 -

No, there isn't. Even aiming for a certain body fat % wouldn't guarantee it because people show at different levels (I guess is how you'd put it).
Just keep incorporating a strength routine and work on your body composition and lowering your body fat%.0 -

At 48 it isn't any easier. So 3 options lad: #1 Lipo(not recommended) #2 Freeze the area(forget the technical method but I wouldn't recommend it) #3 keep lifting and reducing BF(body fat) and over time they will show, and at 18 you'll get there faster then most. So Review: #1 NO// #2 No// #3 YES---->takes longer is something you can repeat and involves your willpower not your wallet. Best of luck.0 -
Do Americans say tire for both feeling fatigued and the things on car wheels ?
Yes. Some Canadians still go by original British, but not a lot. The people that pointed it out (for no reason, you know what was meant, sheesh) must be feeling a little silly now.0 -
Lower abdominal fat is one of the hardest areas to get rid of fat, but the good thing is if you stay committed to working out and doing cardio you will eventually lose the weight. You have to shed the fat which you do not have any control over where your body wants to burn the fat. It could be in your arm your legs your shoulders it really just depends on your genetics.
Also, nutrition goes a very long way. Make sure you are eating the proper diet. I know for me I began a shake meal replacement plan where I replaced 2 meals with shakes and ate one healthy meal full of green leafy veggies and lean protein. Within 2 -4 weeks i was able to feel and see the difference. This has helped to reduce my stomach size dramatically.
I personally do 45 - 60 min of cardio on the bike or elliptical hit about 500 crunches 250 obliques every workout.0
