you cant spot reduce fat, you lose it from everywhere. the only way you can lose fat on your stomach and keep your upper body and arms the same size is to replace the fat that you will lose there with muscle.

are you weight training?

30 min cardio before breakfast or after a weight training session

yeah i weight train every monday wednesday and friday for just under 2hrs.i only have a small frame but im noticeing that i am getting big now slowly but surley

half your training time and on non training days do cardio,sort your diet though as youll want to retain muscle while losing fat,up the protein and down the carbs,you cant grow and lose weight at the same time,but you can maintain while ur cutting

can i ask what you train for 2 hrs in the gym,thats far too long

The is some research that says that different hormone levels effect where you put on fat. Lots of the research comes from somthing called biosignature modulation. Have a search then see what you think. It can get quite deep though. I do notice a difference when i increase my sleep levels and eat more fish oil.

High umbilical (abdominal) skin fold measurements alarmed health care professionals because one study consisting of 30,000 women over a period of 12 years discovered that women with higher umbilical fat measurements, (abdominal fat accumulation) were more likely to develop heart disease than other ordinary overweight women. As I mentioned before, this group had to deal with high stress and chronically elevated cortisol. The popular supplement phosphatydylserine has shown a dramatic reduction of circulating cortisol, (as well as improved mood, memory, and motivation ­ to fight stress and depression). Charles also recommends fish oils rich in essential omega-3 oils and Licorice Root, which helps the regulation of cortisol production. Glycerrhizin is a component of licorice, which is capable of inactivating cortisol. Another good idea for any person belonging to this particular group is to limit (reduce) their caffeine and simple sugars consumption. These are factors that could impact (increase) their levels of cortisol in the body.
