1. Belly fat is harder to lose than fat in other areas of the body. Check out some ab exercises.
2. It's the hardest area to lose weight from, especially as we get older. Try some exercise to tone up the area.
3. Some pockets of fat will not go away naturally. Liposuction is the only cure.
4. I joined Weight Watchers and have lost just over a stone since the end of June. I'm pretty chuffed with that but still have the stubborn belly roll that wont go away! My gym instructor person says the only way to get rid is to keep on with the diet but also do some stomach crunches and press ups. Good luck!
5. Forget diets,,eat what you want but get up and do some sit ups every morning for two weeks and your stomach will eventually flatten,,I recommend between 5 and 10 sit ups per day,,try it you might just suprise yourself
6. Oh God just like me, but I am lazy and don't exercise so I have stopped driving to work and even doing housework , anything to speed up the motabolism and its working and I am going back to yoga to get firmed up and clear my brain. And you know in your own heart that you have to do sit ups or crunches for your belly - its the only way to get rid of it quickly. I was 9st. 9lb. and now 8st. 9lb, but its only exercise that will work now - honestly I have done it before. Good luck let me know how you get on. XX
7. slowly
8. Yes, you have left out the word "exercise" "Diet and exercise" go together like "food and water." <}:-})
9. you need to exercise diet alone doesnt reall work long term do stomach crunches i have been doing them for 4 weeks now and a lot of people comment on my waist line shrinking good luck and dont give up think of that little black number for christmas
10. cardi vascular you need to do exercise to efficiently urn fat layers
11. There was an exercise video that used to be advertised on late night TV. I never got the video, but would do two of the exercises that they showed. One was bending over and reaching behind you as if you are picking up a heavy bag. Then throw it away from you to the front. Alternate sides. The second exercise was kicking with one leg and at the same time twisting and raising the opposite arm. Alternate legs. I did a 100 count of each exercise, usually once a day. It made a huge difference. I am 61 years old.
12. You can't spot train & you can't pick where the fat is going to come off of. Belly fat is the hard to lose. While you are dieting, are you doing any exercising? Try some cardio to speed up the process.
