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!!

I've long passed the point where I cared about taste, but, for the record, dextrose is sugar. It tastes like a milkshake.

The central nervous system takes on the directive of muscle maintenance. Each neuron, and its attached muscle cells, make up a unit. The more work you ask the muscle to do, the more units the central nervous system recruits to perform. When this system suffers, the ability of your muscles to carry out their orders diminishes.

Powerlifters don't train to muscle failure for this exact reason. Exhausting the CNS is counterproductive to strength gains. Professor Vladimir Zatsiorsky, a Soviet strength expert, summed up this notion by saying that an athlete must “do as much work as possible while being as fresh as possible.”

Bodybuilding is an entirely different matter, which is why beginning trainees should not be doing bodybuilding routines until they have several years of strength training under their belt.

This applies to both sexes of all fitness levels, not just elite strength athletes.
