    Hahaha! Sorry, you're right. I meant when I make a meal, it's from scratch with raw ingredients. But yeah, snacks are processed as hell. I'm trying to cut down, and I've done better, of late.

    Don't cut down, cut out ;)

    Someone had a deadly quote somewhere on here....I'll be back with some inspirational quotes because I know how everyone just LOVES those :P

    If you remember the 80/20 rule you will see improvement.
    80% Diet 20% exercise.
    All the running in the world won't matter if you're not eating correctly.

    Obviously running is way more focused on the legs, so your upper body strenght won't improve and your belly won't do down, if you just run and don't do any other excerise.

    You could lie in bed all day every day and as long as you eat fewer calories than you consume then your body fat will go down. This is very basic biology and you shouldn't be giving out advice if you don't even know that much.

    Obviously exercise is necessary for overall health but being a healthy weight is about caloric intake.

    You could try mountain biking, its fun, very high impact cardiovascular excercise, your basically working every joint and muscle in your body on the climbs and decents,
    Eh? Not really.
    There's some upper body required, but not every muscle. And there a pretty big lower lower body bias, and within that an anterior bias.
    As for joints, upper boast joints more through a tiny range of there ROM. Hip extension is limited ROM.

    That's not true. Burning fat from an area of your body has nothing to do with the area you are working.

    Cycling is zero impact. You're off the ground.
    I'm not even going to address the rest of your posts because others already have.

    Zero impact? your bouncing your bike off rocks, trees and boulders, thats high impact and will strenghten your joints, and improve your upper body strenght, its low impact on your legs as its the upper body that is doing all the work when you are trying to steer the bike downhill at speed. Its a full core workout, whoever thinks its not is doing it wrong.

    If you read the OP there is no mention of lowering the caloric intake, obvious post is obvious.

    What the heck is that ?

    If you're going to go down the road of chastising people for their English, when they're just doing their best to contribute... then at least make a cogent sentence yourself :D

    As to the op... the first step before any calorie-counting or sit-ups is to address and change this kind of thinking...
    in relation to diet,in the past i have reduced the amount that i eat but binge over the weekend,i feel like i deserve a reward after a hard weeks work,find it very difficult to diet.

    What you are saying is still nonsense, if he burns more calories that he ingests then he will lose the belly, it doesn't matter if it is diet or exercise, or what that exercise is.

    Its probably best to introduce resistance training (weight training, body weight training) and aerobic and anaerobic conditioning (cycling, running, sprinting, swimming) while on the caloric deficit to minimize muscle loss. It will probably make you feel really good aswell unless there is something wrong with your diet or recovery or bloods.

    Its not nonsense at all, you need a full body work out to loose your belly fat, running alone won't help.

    Good advice, I'm on a 160000 calorie deficit in the last year and you do notice the muscle loss (weak like baby), do some work to prevent it now and again.

    I don't believe this.

    For one it's closer to 50/50 than the internet would have you think.
    in my humble opinion.

    The internet loves extremes saying 60/40 or 50/50 isn't as cool as 80:20 or 90:10.

    You need hard training and good diet , I've rarely seen good sustained progress without both being reasonably good.
    Sure you'll lose weight in Weightwatchers just by dieting but proper body recomp won't happen

    Plus it's great saying 80% diet cos when trainers don't get results they fall back and blame the clients diet and say "well diet is most of it and you were clearly eating chocolate"

    Finally a moderately decent diet with running will see improvements - but an excellent diet with running will see more . It's about levels of improvement. You don't see no improvement unless everything is good to perfect.

    I thought you agreed with the 80% diet thing.

    Now you have to do a full-body workout?

    30min alternate between running and cross training activities should be fine.

    Why does the body decide to lose fat from one region in particular ? I don't understand that.

    Apparently he thinks diet will work but running will not, unless you do the mystical stomach fat burning exercises :pac:

    Let's say I do a water only diet. No food.

    I do no exercise. I lie down all day and night.

    I die with my current belly fat, apparently.
