First thing you have to do is unsubscribe from the notion that you can lose "belly" fat.

There's scientifically no way to spot-reduce or lose fat on one part of your body. Eating cleaner meals, more whole foods, and decreasing the number of calories you consume while burning more (exercise) is the only way you're going to lose the weight in a healthy, permanent manner.

Your body will reduce it's fat stores all over, which is why it's hard to notice certain "spots" getting smaller. But if you already have a low percentage of body fat (some of us think we do but we don't...most have a little extra flab somewhere), then your stomach should start showing results in no tme.

Your best bet is simple: Whole foods diet, reduce simple carbs / replace them with complex carbs, burn more calories than you consume by sticking to a good workout plan you can tailor yourself to suit your schedule, increase your protein intake and stay out of the mirror for a few months.

Google and good discretion is your best friend.

Your best bet when working out (note that you should be working your whole body not just your stomach) is when you do get to ab exercises, skip the crunches & situps and replace them with weighted stomach workouts, like weighted reverse crunches (on a machine), deadlifts, etc. As your body increses it's muscle mass, the rate at which you burn fat and your metabolism will increase. And doing the weight work on your stomach will ensure that once the fat melts away, your stomach isn't just flab. It'll be tight and toned.

#1 Exercises Guide! Over 300+ Free Exercise Videos And Guides! is a good place to start if you're lost.

(And just because you add muscle doesn't mean you'll bulk up like a guy, you don't have enough testosterone to do that naturally.)

beautiful advice right there. Weight assisted ab exercises will strengthen/tone/shape abs tremendously and if you couple that with a clean diet, you should see great results

What are some foods/ types of foods to definitely stay away from. My shape is naturally pretty good, so I'm not about to count calories; just what are some foods to stay away from.

And whats the best exercise for the belly without weights?

Something else to consider. You mgiht have weak traverse abdominals. They are basically your built in girdle and help keep your stomach flat and core rigid. Best way to work those is with vacuum planks. If your body fat is normal and you have a gut its prob from a weak core, common w/desk jobs.

Anyways heres what a plank looks like... you just hold that position

Keep your shyt tight and suck your tummy in so your abs are flat with your legs. Do it by a mirror. Hold the position for like 1-2 minutes, and when it gets easy do it with weight on your back. Your shyt will tighten up niceeeeeee

Its not really "reps"... these are static holds. You just do them as long as possible.

@yoyoyo1 not everyone is going to read my sticky i appreciate the reference tho, but i try not to get into personal attacks here so let my folks live
@electric_fur atv is basically right

losing fat is all dependent on eating less calories than your body needs

IE if you needed 2000, youd need to eat 1500 etc

the smaller the deficit the more likely the weight lost will be fat however. if you have the patience to learn how to count your meals losing fat isnt difficult but it doesnt happen over night either.

the sticky mentioned has alot more detail and is pretty straightforward

So what would you recommend as far as setting a deficit? Is 500 under maintenance good or would you recommend something lower?

500 is a great start. 500 should be more than enough.

I would also recommend making that 500 come from all carbs. Don't cut carbs completely but if you cut anything let it be empty carbs. That will shed water weight and preserve muscle, as well as leave you with all the fats you need to function.

Yeah I've lost two lbs already and I've cut down on carbs. But I don't have much weight to lose anyway--I'm only 106. I just need to tone up.

I love doing planks... have your abs feeling like

if you want to do it right

500 is just about right, 300 if ur already in the <12% range
