Hi, I'm trying to lose about 5-10 more lbs but my main issue is the belly pooch.... Besides running, what else can I do to help tone my lower stomach area? I have been doing squats and also trying to watch what I eat(clean eating) am I leaving out something? And how long normally before you start seeing results?
Thanks!

    There is no such thing as spot reduction, just losing enough fat that it eventually comes off your belly too. Since the fat lays on top of muscle, even super strong Hulk abs are not going to be visible if there is too much padding on top. :(

    On the up side, the problem is so common. I've got it too...

    Perhaps an adjustment on macros if you feel like you have leveled out. Lifting weights would help but like the above post says, you can't target one area.

    Reduce overall bodyfat percentage.
