Every stomach work out I do just makes me look fatter because the muscle goes behind?

I work out my stomach, but it makes my stomach look fatter because the muscles build BEHIND the fat.. What can I do? I want a flat stomach. I don't eat horribly, I eat a lot of salad and low cal dressing fruits and veggies and maybe every couple of days have one not so healthy meal. But I don't want to just eat fruits and veggies.I also don't really eat as many calories as I should, because I just don't have time. So I'm eating healthy and not eating 2,000 calories a day usually. Why am I not losing weight? I'm 18 year old girl 5'1" and 110 lbs. I'm skinny but my stomach is horrible looking.

How to Lose Weight From Face

Recommended Answer:

rope jumping is an excellent exercise because it let you lose weightevenly throughout your whole body. If you want to lose weight inspecific areas, you should target them with exercises. If they areyour problem areas, they will be very difficult to tone. You will haveto work double on them. The best approach is this:1. Lower/control your daily calorie intake (control for normalweight, lower for overweight).2. Rope jump to lower your overall body fat percentage.3. Target your problem areas with exercises.an excellent exercise, you can do it in front of your TV: sit on astool, and put your toes under something (piece of heavy furniture,for example). In your hands hold a little dumbbell. Please, make surethat it is not very heavy, start with one kilo, for example, or youwill damage your back and spine! Slowly move the upper part of yourbody back, until it's parallel with the ground. Stop for a second andmove it back to the sitting position. Repeat ten times. Every week addto the number of repetitions. You will see the results in a week,guaranteed! Your stomach would be flatter and stronger. Dumbbells do wonders. Much better than thesecrunches - I came up to three hundreds and there was no results ATALL. With the dumbbells you will see it in a week.

Other Answers:

• Try to do cardio like running. It will work the whole body and you will lose weight for sure. Do jumping jacks in the morning too.
• You need to lift weights. In order to decrease your body fat, you need to increase your lean muscle mass. If you have a gym membership, spend the money on a session with a trainer to learn how to lift safely.

• Exercise, eat healthy, make sure you consume around 1500 calories per day.
• Its not a gear to shift and accelerate. It takes time. No shortcuts. Note down your daily intake in calories and cut it down to 1000 calories per day. It can reduce 10 to 15 pounds in a month. More than this will hit you back and you will never do it again. Self believe and change your living style and eating habits.

I want to be able to look in the mirror without seeing ugly.?

Everyone I'm close to says that I'm the perfect weight. 'Long legs', 'nice thighs', 'wide, but flat belly/ waist area' and 'slim arms and fingers'. But somehow I always know that no matter what they say, I'm not what I want to be. I feel like all I ever do is eat and eat and no matter how much/little I do eat I feel so guilty. I exercise for 30-40 minutes daily and I NEVER SEEM TO LOSE ANYTHING!!!!!!!!Is there anything else I can do to lose all this disgusting body fat?

How to Lose Weight Quickly for Women Over 40

Recommended Answer:

When you look in the mirror, say, I look great, fat or thin and it's amazing. Instead of denigrating yourself. You might be a more harsh critic than anyone else. If you want to lose weight, exercise and eat less. Use nicer terms when describing yourself. Be objective in order to improve.

Other Answers:

• it doesnt sound like you have fat that needs to be lost, maybe that you should just work on toning up a bit?
• What you need to do is stop looking in mirrors. Cover them up, throw them away. Get a hobby that doesn't involve naval-gazing.
• Taking the mirror down might help

Is it possible to eat out and still lose weight?

I work out a TON but occasionally eat out but I normally make healthy choices when eating out but for some reason I still gain weight. Could it be I''m choosing something too high in sodium? I burn about 800-1000 calories at the gym 5 days a week so I''m just curious as to why I don''t lose weight. I never eat a lot either.

Weight Loss - Are You Fighting With Yourself to Lose Weight?

Recommended Answer:
When eating out you don''t know what that supposedly healthy food is cooked with, oils and sauces are often really not so low in calories. Also yo may be trying too hard to loose weight when you work out causing you to ironically maintain the calories you put in your body. High stress levels and poor stress management is one of the main reasons people who try loosing weight with like 10 different diets don''t get the results they want.

• If you''re eating out your choices will never be the healthiest they can be.
  Also, eating less doesn''t necessarily mean you will lose weight. If you are not eating enough, your metabolism will start to slow down. This causes your body to digest food slower and you to gain weight. That is probably what is happening.
  To lose about 1 lb a week, you need to burn an extra 500 calories than you are eating. But you need to be getting enough of the three macro nutrients: protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats.
  It''s okay to eat out occasionally, maybe a couple times a month.

Quick Weight Loss - How to Lose Weight Quickly

Recommended Answer:
Exercise is key, but what you eat is what really makes the weight come off. You have to burn more calories than you consume to lose weight. 3,500 calories is a pound, simple right? So if you exercise 45 min a day and cut back on your diet the weight will fall off. First you need to find out your BMR which you can do online and go from there. Just make sure you are burning more than consuming! Your BMR will tell you how many calories you are burning just being you! Remember its not all gonna happen at once and will take hard work and dedication. Diet is key my friend, as someone who has lost 68 pounds please listen.

• depends on the intensity
  for most accurate results use http://www.choosemyplate.gov/ for your diet plan
• Drink plenty of water, eat your vegetables and workout a least four to five time a week
• I can completely understand your concern… I have lost 20 lbs in a month simply by drinking nutritional shakes… And I feel so happy about it… It controls my hunger so I dont snack in between meals And it also keeps me so full of energy throughout the day….

How You Can Lose Weight Quickly and Safely

Recommended Answer:
Not fat, but you could probably lose 5-8 lbs. A good diet/exercise plan would be:

Breakfast: Cook 9-grain cereal (from health food store) in water with rolled oats and wheat bran. Make a big pot of it on weekends and scoop out 1/2 cup each morning. Add low fat milk, nuts and berries. Drink hot Ovaltine. Breakfast should be your largest meal of the day to raise blood sugar level which falls during the night.

Lunch: Egg, tuna or turkey ½ sandwich on whole grain bread with bean or alfalfa sprouts and yogurt w/fruit. If you had meat loaf for dinner, bring a meat loaf sandwich on whole grain bread (NO mayo). On cold days, a squatty thermos of hot chili, split peas with ham, or beef stew.

Snacks: Fresh (not canned) fruit: banana, orange, apple, kiwi, grapes, peach, nectarine, cherries, pineapple. No chips and nothing ever from a vending machine.

Dinner: salad with white meat chicken and fresh (not canned) veggies: tomatoes, 2 kinds of lettuce, 2 kinds of shredded cabbage, shredded or sliced carrots, alfalfa or bean sprouts, zucchini, green or red peppers, hard boiled eggs, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, tofu, cottage cheese...Instead of dressing, squeeze 1/4 tomato over it.

Or homemade bean/vegetable soups; great way to recycle leftovers.
Or grilled fish with steamed veggies.

Or omelet: In blender, whip together eggs, tofu, cottage cheese, onions, garlic powder. Cook with mushrooms, chopped tomatoes and green or red peppers.

Foods to avoid: junk food, fast foods, pastries, desserts, sugar, salty foods, syrup (even canned fruit in syrup), peanut butter, fat/grease (pork, wieners, chops, bacon, salami, pizza, chips, fries), pasta, potatoes, white bread, rice, canned veggies, ice cream, soda, chips. And of course no tobacco or alcohol in any form. Both of those add wrinkles and destroy your brain. No oil except olive and mac nut. Coffee also rots your brain.

To keep your skin clear, drink water. Veg. juice is good too. But not canned juice (too much sugar.)

Join a gym; they have all the equipment and staff to show you how to use it to get the look you want to achieve. Much cheaper than buying your own equipment. Go hiking, biking, jogging, bowling, swimming...play tennis, badminton, volleyball, soccer..

If you lack energy to exercise, take Super B complex.
To lose weight, try an appetite suppressant.

• depends if you''re toned or not.
• yeah your not skinny

How to Lose Weight Naturally - You''ll Wonder Why You Didn''t Lose Before

Recommended Answer:
I recently tried the apple diet which is also a chemichal diet I lost weight but then gained it all! When I asked abt y that happened they told me that u r only losing the water but not the fat! So don''t waste your time just eat healthy and excersize! :)

• One thing I would really like to discuss is that weightloss program fast may be accomplished by the proper diet and exercise. Someone''s size not just affects appearance, but also the general quality of life. Self-esteem, despression symptoms, health risks, and also physical capabilities are afflicted in extra weight. It is possible to make everything right but still gain. Should this happen, a problem may be the offender. While a lot of food rather than enough workout are usually responsible, common health conditions and trusted prescriptions can easily greatly enhance size.
• Ive heard eating or drinking grapefruit is beneficial for burning fat? But is this true is it good for weight loss?
• grapefruit has an anti-oxidant content like Vit C. so its good for your health.
• Try cutting it with water or with another juice like orange or grape or something.
• its ok to drink juice as much as you want as its good for your body and mind,
• I am starting the grapefruit diet today and just wanna know if it worked for anyone else if so how much weight did you lose and in what period of time??? thanks
