I take kick boxing.. and i exersize regularly and i eat sorta healthy i mean im not a vegetarian but i dont eat like a pig.
I dont drink soda, maybe just once a month? so rarely. I drink Aloe Vera Drink it comes in some green long ass bottle(to give me energy, healthy-on-the-inside) And i cant seem to take off my belly fat. I have i dont know 5 pounds maybe? may not seem like alot but it irritates me i wanna make it flatter.. what can i do? i dont seem to sweat..either. [the only time i really ever recall sweating was when i made love with my boyfriend..and that lasted less time than my daily exersize routine!]

my exersizes daily include:

Running on the tredmill(30 minutes)
Walking on the tredmill (15 minutes)

do situps(at least 150)
crunches(30-50)
stretches(10 minutes-25minutes)

and of course kick boxing.(2-3 times a week).

I mean i've lost weight in my face, thighs, but not my stomach!!

> Don't do sit-ups. They place emphasis on the psoas muscles, not the abdominals. As the back begins to arch, the vertebral column surrounding the psoas attachment grind together, which can lead to chronic back pain as a result of disk degeneration.

> Resistance training does not burn fat, period. Don't expect to lose anything from crunches. The point of resistance training while cutting weight is to prevent your muscles from atrophying (shrinking), which would increase your bodyfat percentage.

> Eat at least five meals small but complete meals a day to maintain a constant metabolic rate.

> Don't exercise before breakfast like so many uneducated cretins in the mainstream fitness industry advocate. This will instigate muscle catabolism.

lol so do I. I wake up at 5:30 am, eat a healthy breakfast (typically I eat this every morning)which consists of; oatmeal, whole wheat toast, 3-4 hardboiled eggs, glass of chocolate protein shake, and glass of orange juice. The days I do cardio I throw a banana in their for potassium, this helps with cramps and lower back aches. Then I arrive at the gym at about 6:10am +/- and do my regime. Which tends to be within 45-60 minutes.

I forgot to mention I still have time to take;
Fish oil
Flax Seed oil
creatine (bulkin phase)
ephedrine/yerbamate/yohimbe (cutting phase)
multi-vitamins
milk thistle
list goes on... I can do it and so can you
