I know this probably been asked before but how in the hell do I get rid of belly fat?
I do 30 minutes on the elliptical mon, weds, fri, and a hour on tues and thurs but I don't see any change. I eat roughly 2000 calories a day also on Mon, weds, and fri I hit the weight machines. My arms and legs are making progress but my belly is not going down what so ever.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

im currently at 150lb.. and 160lb is probably the biggest im willing to get.. honestly id prefer to just stay at my weight, but fill out my current frame with more muscle if that makes sense..
sorry for the newbie questions.. but thanks for your time guys!

I've been reading up about the Keto diet just because of this thread and I think I'm gonna start. For the NT'ers that have started this process could you answer a few questions for me?
1) How long would you continuously be on this diet?
2) Is a CHO load up period during the weekends needed or that beneficial?
3) Would you recommend zero CHO or just a bit (5% daily cal)?
4) No fruits, no sugars, no corn, no starch, no milk, etc, but as a college student what would you find the best source for my fats and proteins (I'm guessing beef and cheese, maybe sausage?)?
5) Are Keto sticks absolutely needed?
6) What sites do you usually visit to get all your nutritional information (I currently use fitaday) and logs?
7) Any sample diets out there?
I'm looking to cut some weight and planned to be at a -400 cal deficit while incorporating the Keto diet with regular weight training and cardio. Would a 5% CHO, 25% Protein, 70% Fat diet be ideal? Also, any thoughts on this diet being combined with an EC stack?
Thanks NT

I don't like the premise of a ketogenic diet. You'd rather focus on quality carbohydrate sources for post workout nutrition and fat and protein for the rest of the day. Small amounts of carbohydrates aren't going to harm your fat loss if they come from vegetables. Lots of green veggies and meat. Fruit/yams post workout.
You don't even need to be on a low carbohydrate diet to reach a state of ketosis. Intermittent fasting achieves that just fine without all the micrmanaging of macronutrients. Ketostix aren't necessary. Being on a low carbohydrate diet should be enough. Meat, nuts(not too many), coconut products(oil, cream, etc.), etc. along with plenty of vegetables is far superior to a ketogenic diet. If you want information on a very low carbohydrate diet that also involves carb ups, check out "The Anabolic Diet" by Dr Mauro Dipasquale.

Cut carbohydrate intake.

For teaching tension techniques, sure. For a workout, not really. Doing minute long planks is going train endurance mainly and won't do much for abdominal development. You're better off working L-sits, hanging leg raises(toes to bar), and dragon flags.

Do the legs regardless of what you think. Its pretty much only the squats that focus on your thighs so its nothing huge, but youll gain muscle and more muscle helps you burn more fat. Believe me that the extra muscle on your legs will not be something you'll regret, because your legs will not look fatter, instead they'll allow you to burn more fat and look like you want sooner.
