How do I get rid of accumulated fat around my abdomen and hips?
electrikat asked:
I am a 23 years old. I’ve always been really thin, and I exercise regularly and eat healthy. Recently any fat on my body has accumulated into an ‘innertube’ of fat/skin around my abdomen and hips. I run/walk or swim everyday, I have rockhard abs underneath this fat, but the love handles and pooch will not go away!! Should I do a liquid diet for a while or something? I have absolutely no fat anywhere else on my body…I really don’t understand whats going on.

Hey girl,
Just a note before I start: crunches, push ups, situps, etc will not help you loose weight! THEY WILL MAKE YOU GAIN MUSCLE ON TOP OF DA FAT!!!!
What you really need to do if you want to loose
weight, is make sure you do these VERY important
things:
1. Have no more than 1,000 calories a day! Look on
every nutrition label of what you eat, and always buy
low calorie foods!
2. Exercise! But not for muscles! People get loosing
weight and gaining juscle confused. The gym is good
for tonning up muscles, but to loose weight, you
really have to run, jump, swim, and anything else that
really makes you sweat, sweat, sweat!!!! Exercise for
AT Least 1-3 hours a day!
3. EAT HEALTHY! Some people skip breakfast and lunch
and then have a huge dinner right before bed. That is
absolutely the worst thing you can do for your immune
system! You will gain weight and will NEVER be able to
loose it because your immune system will be screwd up!
Make sure you have a large breakfast with no (or
little) breads. Like one egg, 2 turkey sausages, and
one waffle. Cereal and milk is good, but with 1% milk
and no sugery cereal like lucky charms, fruit loops,
etc.
Have a medium sized lunch, no hamburgers, fries, or
soda. A salad or tofu, or chicken strips (not fried)
or anything else yummy and helathy you can think of.
But still watch the calories.
Always remember to have dinner BEFORE 6 PM! A light
soup with toast, or low calorie mac and cheese and a
salad is good. Maybe a veggie low calorie lasgna.
Also, dont EVER eat meat after 7 pm! Especially pork
and beef. Chicken is ok, but eat it no less that 3
hours before bed.
No snacking on chips, chocolate, or any calorie
filled, starurated fat drenched, snacks during the
day! If your craving for a snack, dried fruit or
regular fruit or special K bars are good. BUT NO
ENERGY BARS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE TONS OF SUGAR!!!!
4. Go to bed early! Did you know that the more you
sleep, the more fat you burn? Thats why you are always
lighter in the morning, by a pound or so.
5. HAVE WILLPOWER!!!! You have to know when to tell
yourself to stop! Sometimes you need it to tell you to
go exercise, sometimes not to eat donuts and cake at a
birthday party.
I really hope you reach your goal!!!!!
Good Luck!!!!!
