Hi all,
Not sure if I'm in the right place. Just dropped 35 lbs(from 250, on my way
to 190) but having trouble losing belly flab. Looking for suggestions on
ways to reduce this in the form of simple excercises(sit-ups?). I'm newly
diagnosed diabetic Type 2(I'm already in that NG)and need to shed excess lbs
in my middrift.
thanks for any help,
fcr

Hip flexors, Right, but still doesn't it seem like everyone in the gym
is doing crunchs. I never see people doing the sit-up anymore.

I think I'll goto the gym and just start doing situps in the middle of
the floor while screaming...lmao

YOu can't choose where flab leaves you. You can only reduce all fat on
your body hoping to eventually get it where you wish overall.

I suggest you investigate liposuction which really does a great job of
spot reducing. Don't fall for the situps to reduce belly fat. It's a lie.

You cannot spot reduce. It's a myth perpetuated by late night
informercial gimmick exercise device sellers. In order to lose fat from
anywhere, aside from liposuction, you need to continue losing it from
everywhere. You've already dropped 35 pounds, so you must be doing
something right!

dude it takes alot of willpower- cut out all fat if possible- lower
carbs as much as you can and force feed yourself Prot een. Buy plenty
of tuna. Attempt as many push ups as possible, until your shoulders
feel like mercury poisoning, then you will be a man my son
