Belly Fat Help!

Hi Guys!!

So I am now down to 162 after initially weighing 187 on Jan 1. I am at a point where I can see my stomach is much flatter but I have flab in the mid section and lower abs. I eat clean every day and enjoy a cheat meal once a week at most twice. I work out 6 days per week doing insanity now and other cardio. does anyone recommend any fat burners? Or perhaps special foods? Or something to really help me show my abs? I am getting aggravated and tempted to call it quits and just be happy I'm at a fit weight.

    You just have to keep losing fat. You can't spot reduce.

    if a six pack is your goal, it's pretty much 95% diet. you need to just keep eating at a deficit and be patient.


    seriously, you lost 20 pounds in two months, and you're upset you don't have a six pack yet?? it takes people years to get down to that low level of body fat percentage.

    Yes, you just have to keep losing fat...but I would highly recommend doing some resistance training in addition to your cardio work...it does wonders for your body composition.

    If you are new to lifting, be sure to use proper form. Always use proper form.

    As stated above, spot reducing is impossible. I actually had the same problem as you and I'm still working on it. Running is the only thing that is really making that extra stomach fat disappear. I do an incline program on my treadmill called "trail runner" twice a day. It's two miles of slow jogging at a max incline of 6. I also run another mile every evening. It's a lot of running but it's the only way I've been able to tone up that stomach! Don't give up, just run! ;)
