Been trying to get rid of stubborn fat in my abs area. I've tried exercise and dieting. But that doesn't work. What alternatives can I try sans surgery?

You're not trying hard enough with your diet, and exercise.

Yup. Get the right diet-and-exercise combo program, and you can win. BTW, how old are you? Could that be a hormonal issue?

It's not that simple though. Stubborn fat is stubborn for a reason and it needs a more intensive approach to be lost. It can actually get to be quite tricky.

Here are some options:

The Stubborn Fat Solution : Bodyrecomposition

The Stubborn Fat Solution Patch 1.1 : Bodyrecomposition (drug based)

And of course, there is always the Ultimate Diet 2.0 which is a completely integrated approach. Either one of the three would be good choices but I prefer the Patch or UD2 myself.

I didnt see any patches. But from the links youve provided, they dont look legit.

Change things up. For whatever reason you've hit a plateau, change up your exercise regimen, go with intermittent fasting to change things up diet wise.


For me personally I was never able to get "ripped" until I cut out carbs completely and took up weightlifting.

I was running 80-100 miles a week as a long distance runner and while I was slim overall, I had a little runners pooch belly that I could never get rid of. Interestingly enough I wasnt doing a whole lot of traditional cardio when I first got ripped, just fast-paced, low rest weight workouts.

In general if youve been doing the same routine for awhile it is time to change things up, force your body to adapt to a new stimulus.

If you're adamant that dieting and exercising doesn't work, look into getting it surgically removed.

Getting a six pack is entirely diet.


You need to cut your calories.

The OP didn't say he wanted a 'six pack' (and not everyone does), but only that he wants to lose fat in the abs area.

I disagree with the statement that it's entirely a matter of diet. Both diet and exercise are important components in obtaining a lean body. It's undeniable that the right kind of exercise burns fat.
