I know you can't spot reduce but I just want to loose my belly

So I'm happy with my size and my body shape - I'm just not happy with the lack of tone on my belly! It looks like it doesn't even belong on my body Confused

I don't eat massive portions but I eat a lot of sweet stuff if I could loose half a stone off my belly would be ideal but I know it doesn't work that way!

I am thinking of trying low carbs not "no carbs" and just wanting to see if others have had success with this and loosing belly fat

Planks and other ab exercises will help tone your middle.

I guess you mean lose not loose, as that would mean setting it free?? (But how I'd love to do that!! Grin)

I always find stomach the hardest but defo try low carb. I cut out bread/pasta/rice/sugar entirely and would also severely limit potatoes/sweet potatoes/squash. It has really helped. You might be an apple shape like me? Decent legs and bum-all fat goes to the stomach.

Lose.

But yes core exercises, plank, v sits, Russian twists etc. You can't spot reduce but they'll help with the muscle underneath.
