Have you heard it said that "abs are made in the kitchen"? It's so true. If your diet is not in check and you're not eating at a caloric deficeit, then you will not burn the fat. Your muscles could be getting bigger as well. You could also just be bloating for some reason.

It has nothing to do with weights or elliptical.......DIET!! Check your calories and macros, make sure you are eating the right amount for your goals, adjust as necessaryOriginally Posted by Lola7091

Muscle growth in the abdomen can actually push the fat out, making you appear fatter (not to say that you are). Also, are you sure that the foods you're eating are good enough for this new lifestyle of yours? losing belly fat doesn't have to be hard. Sugar probably contributes more to people getting fat than fat does.

It's doubtful that someone who "recently" started training put on so much ab muscle that it's pushing their stomach fat out more.Originally Posted by wellness4ever
A person puts on fat when their calories in are more than their calories out. Period. Neither sugar nor fats in and of themselves cause people to put on fat. Having to much of them does.https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=17995794

You could do cardio till your blue in face, but if your eating too much, its not going to matter. You have to get your calories in check, If your goal is fat loss. You have to burn more than your consume.

I'd recommend reading in the nutrition section if you don't know the answer to this. Read first, ask questions second.Originally Posted by Lola7091
