Can't Lose Visible Fat

Hey everybody,
I've always been able to build muscle, get stronger and get to where I want: everywhere except in the area of fat loss. About 3 weeks ago I started cutting out Coke's and bread. I was going to the gym 3 days a week and lost a few. About a week and a half ago I added running every day I'm not at the gym. I've lost about 4 pounds just from that so far. Although I can focus better in school, think clearer and feel better all around, I haven't seen any change of fat content. What could I add or takeaway to help that? Thanks!
 
You are losing fat content, as evidenced by the loss of weight. It might just take time for it to be visible. Just keep it up, and if your weight plateaus, then revisit the issue on what to change.
 
Basically a flat belly with defined muscles is often considered a true sign of fitness. In order to lose the fat and make your abs more visible, you need to adopt an overall weight-loss plan, which should include exercise and a healthy, low-calorie diet.

Working the abdominal muscles only won't go far in burning fat off your belly -- but it can help tighten and define the muscles, which will be more noticeable once the fat is gone. Consult your doctor before beginning any weight-loss or exercise regimen.


Keep in mind, the most weight you should lose in a week is 1 to 2 lbs.

Fat distribution is highly influenced by genetics. Your results in losing fat around your belly will depend a lot on what type of body type your family has and where they accumulate and lose fat. Avoid extreme exercise regimens, such as working out for several hours a day. Exercising too much can cause you to burn out and give up exercising altogether.
