Tips for losing stomach fat?

[Anonymous]

I'm 5 foot and weigh around 115 lbs, now in my late 20s. I used to be underweight (high metabolism) and desperately tried to gain weight so I didn't look super skinny. Now that I gained this weigh, I'm happy about my size because I can actually fit an size small and sometimes medium clothes. However, I gained belly fat which I'm ashamed of. I wear lose clothing to hide it or wear black constantly. I've never really exercised in my life as I was so skinny that I didn't need to.

Please give me some tips on losing the belly fat. I really don't want to lose the weight it took me years to gain.

Awwww you're so tiny :)

Losing fat is 80% diet, lower your calories, increase your fibre intake, and increase your water intake. Eat unprocessed foods like fruits and vegetables and nuts, no dairy, no red meat, and drink water only, that's right no alcohol. I advise running and swimming to be the foundation of your workouts, time yourself for a particular distance, and try every workout to beat your best time. Make sure you stretch before and after to prevent muscle strain.

Ex) 4 mile run - 1 hour
10 lengths of pool - 1 hour

Well you didn't exercise before because of your metabolism. So i would say now is a perfect time to make up for lost time.

Any thing in specific? What kind of exercise?

Core fitness exercises utilizing your own body weight are best for toning while still strengthening and tightening your muscles but not gaining mass. Great for a chick.

i find it surprising tht you worry more about your weight than your height LOL

I don't worry about the things that I cannot change.

Dude you are 115, how much more you'd wanna loose?

Low intensity cardio would do it

I didn't say I wanted to lose weight. If you read my post, it says I don't want to lose weight but need to get rid of the belly fat ;)

You can't loose weight without loosibg fat unless your abdominals are pure muscles dude

You can't target specific areas of fat, you will lose belly fat as you lose fat from the whole body.
