I"m 28 years old, 115 lbs, but i still have belly fat that I want to lose. I do the elliptical for 20 minutes a day and some days the wii too. How can i lose fat in the belly area? And how much time should it take to lose about another 10 lbs?
I already exercise, am asking what exercise is more beneficial for belly fat.
sorry–I’m 5′1

Hey Daydream,
At 5′ 1" and 115 lbs you certainly do not sound overweight.
It seems to me that you are carrying most of your fat stores around your belly and as you are finding out, that is usually the hardest to shift.
You will need to do a number of things:
1. Make sure that most of the food you eat is healthy nutritious food in it’s natural state. No chemicals or additives.
2. Stay clear of so called healthy packaged foods, low fat foods or low sugar foods.
3.Do not skip breakfast and eat regular meals
4.You must do the right kind of exercise. This is not necessarily lots of cardio or abdominal exercises.
5. You must include exercises that will help you gain some lean muscle tissue. Lean muscle tissue helps to elevate your metabolic rate and increases the rate at which your body burns fat
These points are just a summary of some of the things you have to do .

im 14 and i really want to get rid of my fatty sides and tummy before summer. or at least loose some fat. i weigh 155 pounds. way more than my friends plus i do not want a fatty stomach for bikini season. so does anyone know of a good work out Plan that will help me?!?!?!

One thing that will NOT help is dieting and getting regular exercise. Avoid this at ALL costs!!!!!

Healthy weight loss is not some magical, mysterious plan that is available to a certain few.  Many of us know that weight loss is a process which requires a lot of work and discipline and you need to be really serious about getting it done, still it seem to be the major focus of the many people nowadays.  Weight loss is also challenging but is not impossible at all, and little encouragement and motivation can do wonders.  But remember that maintaining weight loss is much harder than losing weight because your body has made metabolic adjustments and all the brain does is think about food. There has to be change in this area too, but if you stick to your plan, old habits will be replaced with new ones and the body and its chemistry will follow suit.

Exercise

Exercise is one of the best things you can do for weight loss, keeping in mind that exercise program must be suitable to one’s body, as others are not able to exercise as rigorously as others can.  Exercise alone, without concomitant dietary caloric restriction and behavior modification, tends to produce only modest weight loss of 3-5 lbs.  But as we know, it’s never bad or too late to exercise, and it plays a more vital function than to just help you achieve “Weight Loss”.

Health

People lose weight because they want to feel healthier, look better or have more energy.  A description of a healthy person is the one who eat right type and right quantity of food and who consumes it too with physical activity.  Sound easy… but the habits we have developed and the incorrect emphasis on career over health in the modern world produce opposite and negative results. But this a battle of willpower and in fact, losing even 5 to 10 percent of your weight can help greatly improve your health and from there it is much easier to continue.  Whatever your goals, successful weight loss and healthy weight management CAN be yours.  However, you have to bear in mind that you cannot lose too much otherwise you are just trying to risk your own health and even life in some cases.

Healthy eating is not the same as weight-loss eating: “Weight loss is about being calorie and portion conscious.

Foods

Foods such as fruits and vegetables have low “energy density”.  Recognize what is causing the weight gain: usually overeating or eating a poor combination of foods.  Eating out too much: If your busy schedule or desire for convenience has you eating out most of the time, you have very little control over the foods you consume.  My advice is to eat lots of proper meals and healthy foods and exercise: then you’ll feel good and look good.  Prof Ben Fletcher and Dr Karen Pine say that dieting leads women into a vicious circle of negative emotions which provokes cravings for the very foods they are trying to avoid, with chocolate one of the most powerful. 

Weight maintenance is much like weight loss, because the principles are the same: Eat healthy foods, control your portion sizes and exercise regularly.   Self-prepared foods emphasizing fruits, vegetables, grains and low-fat proteins accompanied by guidelines governing selection and preparation analysis of food labeling, has to become your daily routine.  Keep away from fried foods especially deep-fried as this contains a great amount of fat.  While most diets focus on foods you shouldn’t eat, those that emphasize adding low-calorie foods, like fruits and vegetables, can promote healthy weight loss.

Programs

There are so many weight loss programs now available that one has so many choices that it can be difficult to decide which one will actually work.  Good weight loss programs allow one to shed excess weight safely and healthily over a long period of time.  Weight loss programs are also offered by various fitness companies which also provide the health fitness diets and the workout for a limited period of time.  Prescription weight loss drugs are intended for individuals with medically significant weight problems, and are intended to be used in conjunction with dietary, behavioral, and exercise programs.  Each and everyone’s body metabolism reacts differently to different fast weight loss programs and plans.  Lifestyle changes including exercise programs, such as walking, tai chi, aqua aerobics and circuit training, coupled with behavior modification, can help with weigh management.

Success

While there are no hard-and-fast rules that work for everyone, there are ways to maximize your success.  A strategy for success begins with getting realistic: “Cause number-one for failure is setting too unrealistic of goals, losing too much too fast.  While trimming that waistline may seem a solo job, the truth is that friends can have an enormous influence on the success or failure of attempt at weight loss.  To be successful it seems that you need a good program, supporting friends and have to know what the latest research studies have uncovered and be able to apply this information to your daily routine.

im 14 (a girl) and i have a flat stomach but i have a bit of fat on it and my love handles are starting to show ( there not very big, there just a bit of extra fat i would like to get rid of ). Im going to start running for one hour everyday after march break and i have already started cutting all the sugar out from my diet. Ive switched to all whole grain breads, and have stopped drinking juice . All i drink now is water and milk. This is what i would typically eat throughout the day :

Breakfast – Bowl of shredded wheat, plain. (100% whole grain) with milk.
lunch:Whole wheat chicken wrap with blueberries and a bottle of water.
after school snack: Apple, grapes, whole grain crackers with a water bottle.
Dinner: Salad filled with veggies and olive oil and balsamic vinegar with a lean cut of meat. Veggies or some type of grain product or starches. ( whole grain rice, or potatoes). And a glass of milk.
snack: Strawberry’s, or 1 stalk of celery w. peanut butter. With water or milk.
on the weekends i eat oatmeal with a fruit salad, or eggs and pemeal bacon with freshly squeezed orange juice for breakfast. If i did this for a month, would i be able to lose the belly fat? How long would it take me? Im trying to get this done before summer!
ive been doing this for a week now/: but i cheated yesterday and ate one peice of candy but i don’t think it wil affect me?
jasmin, im going to be running everyday until september which is when cross country starts. I want to do cross country but im starting the training early so i can lose my belly fat before summer.

Although it’s good having a healthy diet, it won’t help you with your "belly fat". If it really is a you describe it, that diet may just make you loose weight and you’ll end up with more "belly fat". Try doing exercises that work out your abdominal muscles, also cardio vascular exercises.

So many people gave us the set-up secrets and plans of weight loss, from avoiding carbs to avoiding fats, and from increasing fats to increasing proteins.They might succeeded with some people and failed with others, but nobody told us the core concepts behind what really works for weight loss lasting for life.

This article peels the hype , and presents the scientifically proved core concepts behind the real secrets of the lasting weight loss. They compile with the the literal meaning of the word “Diet”, which comes from the Greek word “diaita” which means ” a manner of living”.

These are the 10 secrets to lasting weight loss:

1- Count Calories before you count any thing else:

It is calories that adds fat to your body. The body needs 3500 Calories to make 1 pound of fats, no matter what the calorie source is. In the Lancet, it is how much you restrict your calorie intake and how long you stay on a diet are the only factors that determine weight loss.

Low carb diets ensures a rapid onset of weight loss through ketosis, yet it is the calorie intake that that determines whether you gain weight back or not. Shave 500 Calories from your daily intake , and you lose a pound a week.

2- Keep away from time schedules:

Do not be enticed by the quick new look – unless you prepare for a beauty contest- and have the mindset of getting involved into a process that will take you into a new way of life. Delve into weight loss gradually, and this will not come unless you drop time schedules.

3- Do not Starve your body:

Starving your body leads it to waste muscles to compensate for the lost energy. Muscles stokes your metabolism, and losing muscles means you burn fewer calories on the long run.

4- Focus on food over exercise:

Before the sport contests, the coaches recommend diets for the “overweight”athletes! This means that even people that have exercise as their major activity can get overweight, if they eat more than they are burning off. Moreover, the amounts of calories lost by our tolerable exercise are tiny amounts compared to the supposedly lost amounts of calories ( for every 20 minutes of aerobic exercise you do, you burn 100 Calories, which you can wipe out with a granula bar).The strenuous type of exercise needs optimal health, time, coach, and a “diet plan”. As this is said,do not cancel your gym membership, and do a little exercise every day.

5- Inflate your meal volume:

Fruits and vegetables, rich in water and fibers are bulkier but less caloric. Recent studies revealed that women who ate foods with higher water and fiber content lost 40 percent more weight than women who simply limited protein size and cut back on fats.Fight the hunger feeling . Start your meals with a big bowl of broth-based soup or a large green salad portion with or without toppings.

6- Spend more calories on eating:

Digestion process consumes roughly 10 percent of your calorie intake.Many nutrition experts recommend eating 6 small meals during the day instead of 3 big meals. Yet the predetermined size meals won’t necessarily work for every one, since the hungrier you are, the more opportunity you find for unscheduled feedings.You can increase heat production and feeling more satisfied by eating protein snacks (like a hard boiled egg) through the specific dynamic action of protein. You can also increase fiber intake as discussed in secret # 4.

7- Do not get distracted while eating:

If you think of your body weight , you should give up some privileges of modern time. We eat too much when you are watching TV, listening to a tape, or reading. Just eat and give your body the chance to digest the swallowed foods before you decide to eat more.

9- Meal replacement:

Meal replacements like shakes, bars , and frozen dinners with their preset portions and controlled number of calories, are good tools for long lasting weight loss. It is not that you will take them 7 days a week, rather you should substitute wisely as atop gap or before rushing into a scheduled task.

10- Live a new life style:

The big obstacle that prevent people to maintain their acquired new weight is that they do not have the correct mindset before and after beginning their weight loss plan. They start it as a scheduled task leading them to have their dreams about their bodies.You should keep in mind that your body does not have to work hard to gain weight again.You should have the mindset of starting a new a new style of life that suits more your new body.

Eat less, exercise more, and be a friend to mother nature and its relatives, fruits and vegetables.
