Anyone Out There With A Completely Flat Stomach?

I've lost a bit of weight over the last few months, which I'm pleased about. I'm also more toned, and feel fitter than I have for a while.

I used to be a size 10 with a completely flat stomach and no fat around my middle. Over the past couple of years however pads of fat have crept onto my hips and I've developed an unsightly "gunt" which is not shifting. Not yet, anyway.

Does anyone else possess one of these pesky stubborn things? If so, have you succeeded in getting rid? Or am I stuck with it now?

I'm 56. Perhaps it's an age thing....

I hate salmon. And olive oil.

Visceral fat goes first with fat loss, well, that's my understanding. Key is to maintain muscle whilst losing fat, as muscle is what is important for good shape & function.

Sorry only jokinggrin
Though it is nearly there. Diagnosed diabetic in March of this year. Went on LC HF diet result, reversed diabetes, lost 2st. 6lb and nearly flat stomach. It's a bit wobbly though

I have just started taking inulin powder as I don't think that it will do any harm and might be beneficial. I'm not overweight and do exercise regularly but I have still got that flabby stomach.

Oh yes, definitely. I've had a browse already. I've ditched most of my carbs now but still need inspiration. No low fat stuff for me either! Proper food is the way to go. Flat stomach here I comesmile.
