westernxer Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 If you had a fast metabolism, you wouldn't have fat on your belly. You have to cut the calories and exercise to lose fat. Change in diet is essential. You don't have to run... walking is just as effective. 30 minutes daily will work wonders, but you've got to change your diet to see results.

As western already explained, the only true way of losing your belly is doing cardio. Muscles already exist underneath the fat, you just have to burn it off so you can see it. There are some intense ab exercises you can do using a polotti (spelled correct?) ball. Crunches are not the most intensive abs exercises, there are many better types out there, do some research.

XNemesisX Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 How old are you? I hear the belly problem hits around middle age. I do know some younger people who stay skinny everywhere but there though. The only answer to your problem is lots of exercise, particularly exercises that target the problem area. OR lipo on your stomach. Link to post Share on other sites
ConfusedInOC Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Forget lots of carbs (pasta, bread, etc). Eat more chicken, fish and turkey (and salads). Do 1 hour of cardio workouts a day 5x a week. The quickest way to lose weight is to take in LESS calories than you BURN. So count calories and work out and burn more than you eat. Trust me on this. I'm a gym rat and I know what works Link to post Share on other sites
