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!!

There are too many synthetic time spans going around for this. It really just depends on the routine. The Russian National Powerlifting Team bench presses eight times a week.

Fructose is necessary after a cardio session for replenishing liver glycogen stores. Glucose only affects muscle glycogen. You can just eat fruits for this, however.

8 times a week is definetly not the norm though. Possible at the elite level perhaps, with all the associated scientific back up they've got, but i wouldn't think about doing it on my own as it were.


Whats your usual post workout nutrition reidar?

Not the norm, but it serves to illustrate that it's not so much about the muscles themselves as it is the central nervous system, since most should not be training to muscle failure anyways. This is a beginner routine that has the lifter squatting every other day.

Post-lifting, I drink a shake consisting of whey protein, dextrose, maltodextrin, and salt. Post-cardio is a more lenient period, so I eat as usual.

Lol, sorry that just sounds gross to me. Nutritionally, I'm sure it's sound. But..

How exactly does it have to do with the central nervous system? I don't doubt that it does, but just a question.
