How can I burn fat, in addition to exercise?!


Question: How can I burn fat, in addition to exercise?
It's the age old question... how do I lose this belly-fat?

I'm an 18 year old male, about 5' 9" and 155lbs. As far as I know, I'm the correct dimensions and weight and what not so this is not a problem of being obese. I exercise daily, switching between cardio and muscle building and I would consider myself to be in the upper tier of physical health. My problem is a vain one... I've been working on a 6-pack for a while but have hit one large obstacle. I have a layer of fat covering the lower half of my abs, I can actually see the top two abdominal muscles in my "to-be" 6-pack but the lower abs are covered up by this layer of fat. I can't imagine it being more than a couple pounds of extra weight and when I pinch it together, it seems like it's only half to one inch thick.

Obviously I don't want to and wont be anorexic or bulimic to lose this extra weight... so what else can I do to lose it. I already have a decent diet of veggies, fruit, good food, and mostly water (I do eat junk but not nearly enough to affect my weight) and I do enough fat burning activities... but I can't seem to lose literally ANY weight.

I'm not sure if I should try some pills to boost my metabolism or eat nothing but salad or what... please help. Thank you.

Stay away from pills! That stuff is no good for your body! It looks like you're on the right track from what you said above, however once you plateau, it gets a lot harder to lose those last few pounds. Try muscle confusion or a different cardio style. If you google muscle confusion you'll get a ton of great ideas. Are you sure the junk you eat doesn't really have an effect? Are you eating enough? I know they sound silly, but when you get down to the home stretch of your weight loss goal, every calorie counts!



Your body may be getting used to a usual workout routine. Switch up your routine and try different moves. Also, try adding more jogging time. Jogging burn fat directly from the stomach area first, which is an important part to getting you 6 pack. If you are still struggling to get your 6 pack, ask a personal trainer about it. I'm sure they can help.
