Diet
The most important way to lose abdominal or belly fat is to ensure you have a diet that provides a negative calorie intake. To lose fat, a person has to have an intake of calories that is less than total daily calorie consumption.
What it means
Daily calorie intake - Energy expended in calories = Calorie deficit/fat loss
Approximately, 3500 calories equates to about 1 pound of fat. You should aim to lose no more than 2/3 pounds of fat every week until you have reached your desire weight.
You should aim for a calorie deficit of around 1000 a day. Remember, to discount the calories expended through exercise.
Eating frequent small meals
Try and consume your required calories through frequent but small meals, ensure they are high in protein because it maintains muscle, which is required for maintaining strength and helps boost metabolism. The purpose of small meals is to allow the body to digest food properly and reduce fat storage.
Make sure the last meal or two consists mostly of protein. You should get your carbohydrate and fat requirements in earlier meals. The idea is to reduce carbohydrate and fat as the day wears on.
Avoid fad diets. Some of these like Atkins have proven to be bad for health in the long term. It is quite easy to lose fat by eating relatively normally.
A good mix would be 50% protein, 30% carbohydrates, 20% fat or 40% protein, 40% carbohydrate, 20% fat. There is no need to follow what you eat and count calories religiously because it can become rather tiring.
Tip: Remember, do not exercise too much, it is not advisable to try and lose fat too quickly. Losing fat too quickly may represent health problems. It is safer to lose fat steadily over a period of time.
Cardiovascular Exercise
A strict diet should be complemented with an exercise program consisting of regular cardiovascular exercise. Depending on how much excess fat you have and how fast you want lose the belly fat, your aerobic exercise program should vary to meet your individual circumstance.
Tip: Remember, exercise is a great way to lose fat all over. It is impossible to spot reduce fat. When you lose fat, it will come off from all parts of the body.
Abdominal exercise
Because the belly fat is often very stubborn, it is highly recommended that you stimulate the fat loss with different types of exercises. Exercising the abdominal muscles is a great way to lose the stubborn belly fat because muscle helps increase the rate of metabolism - the process of fat loss.
Different abdominal exercises
* Sit-ups - these are the most common. You start from a seating position and then fall back gently until you are almost in a lying flat position and then moving back up to a seating position. This represents one complete sit-up. You should do about 3 or 4 sets of 12.
* Crunches - These are a great way to alternate between sit-ups.
* Obliques - Do side bends or leg ups while lying on your side (for both sides of course). This works the side abdominal muscles. This will firm up the side of your waist and get rid of the love handles.
Doing weights
Lifting weights is a great way to lose fat. In fact, for many, it is more fun way to lose fat because many enjoy going to the gym an interacting with others.
A lot of women are apprehensive when it comes to doing weights because they fear it will bulk them up. However, this is far from the truth. To develop a bulky physique, it requires lifting extremely heavy weights with a lot of dedication and a diet to match. Those with bulky physiques eat substantially more calories than they expend in order to bulk up.
There are light weights available for women to lift. Make sure you exercise all parts of the body to ensure a symmetrical physique. Also, do some compound exercises that require use of several muscle groups at once. These will accentuate fat loss.
Eat right and exercise.

don't worry about it stop being self-conscious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cardiovascular is the FASTEST way to lose weight. Running. Breathing hard
Having sex.
LoL
Diet and excerise like crazy. It's either that or $6000 for a liposuction.
exercise, eat right, weight watchers can help, crunches for toning, etc.
Look online for a bunch of different workouts that workout the stomach and legs. Start with crutches and jogging in place.
just stop putting so much fat content in your body so no more fat can build up= exercising, such as running every day.... then once you eat right, no more fat will build up, well not as much, then all you need to do is exercise a lot, and continue to eat healthy even after you reach your results.
um well
exercise its the cheapest and always works way.
go running twice a day 2 miles each time. this will put you in amazing shape for your vacation. =]
liposuction
Cut everything you eat in half. You don't necessarily have to drastically change what you eat, just the amount. Instead of two rolls at dinner, have one. You may be hungry at first but your stomach will shrink quickly and you will get used to eating less. Don't eat after 7 p.m. because at night, your metabolism goes way down and all that food is stored as fat instead of burned off during the day's activities. Drink lots of water and stop drinking cokes! If you have to have a coke,drink diet. Load up on the fruits, veggies, and whole grains. Stay away from sugar-free foods, as those are loaded with sugar alcohols and are meant for diabetics, not dieters. You MUST exercise! You might want to go to a place called Curves. It's an exercise place just for women that is 30 minutes, minimum of 3x a week. I worked there and worked out there while I was losing weight and loved it. If you can't do that, do a minimum of 30 mins exercise at least 3x a week,
preferably around 5. If you need help, buy a video like
Tae-Bo with Billy Banks. This sounds like a lot but
when it becomes a lifestyle it gets to be really easy!
Good luck!
products and trainers will tell you, you can't spot tone your stomach. However, what I have found to work is a diet called the Master Cleanse diet. Its something I swear by. I lost 20 lbs. in 15 days and my stomach was where I noticed the best results. Look it up on the computer and follow it precisely. You will need to stay focused and have lots of willpower to do this diet. From school, I have learned that a diet consisting of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes is the best at keeping your stomach in check. Stay away from dairy and meat. Also watch your stress levels and exercise. Stay away from soda and high sugar drinks. Make sure you drink plenty of water for your body. Drink half of your body weight in ounces of water every day. If you weigh a 100 lbs. - drink 50 oz. of water. You will be amazed at how much better your body will feel when your properly hydrated.
I've got the same problem. crunches help a little but don't work miracles. If your fat loose weight. If not drink lots of water, do both cardio exercises and weightllifting, and eat heathily(don't stuff or starve yourself)(get fruits and veges)!Good Luck!
my sister just had a baby and her stomach looks nasty, so it depends do you want to spend money if so then get a aerobic dance teacher or free run, eat, healthy and do ten sit ups a day trust it works
Eat healthy food.....lots of veggies and fruit and drink water like a camel! Exercise everyday too but don't start off too big because you'll loose motivation. Walk for about half an hour in the morning and gradually step it up a bit to an hour or so or a more strenuous exercise. All the best!
try pillates and a rubber band =)
Well, if it's JUNE you have more than 4 months. Sign up at the YMCA and have a trainer assist you with an exercise and nutrition regimen.
I'm not certain it's possible...and maintain your health. Depending upon your situation, you may not have enough time. You don't need a quick fix - you desire lasting change.
I recommend planning realistic goals for yourself. Perhaps setting a loss program of a pound a week. Do this by participating in a moderate exercise program and a sensible diet.
If your vacation time arrives and you still perceive excess weight, buy swimwear that will flatter your new (although maybe not flat) stomach. Good luck!
three?s... whats your wt, ht, and activity level... exercise!!!!
You have plenty of time.
