Diet.

No magic tricks, just keep losing fat and the belly fat will eventually go.

Sticking to your calorie deficit.

Just stop sucking when you get to important organs.

You must be in denial of the obvious...diet.

Lipo bro, lipo or you can diet.

Sticking to your calorie deficit.

This isn't a calorie deficit issue. I am around 10% body fat and have abdominal definition. I just have some stubborn belly fat. It's become more prevalent as I've gotten older. Could it be a cortisol issue? A vitamin or mineral deficiency?

Fat is fat and the less we have to lose, the more difficult it becomes. You need to continue dieting and track everything. When you're almost at goal, there's no room for error.

I'm 8% body fat and I still have subcutaneous fat in the abdominal area. It's all about dieting and where the body obtains energy from the adipose cells located at various areas of the body. It's definitely not a conscious decision nor can you target a specific area .

Wait a minute. You have abdominal definition and stubborn belly fat?

I do have abs; but there is stubborn excessive subcutaneous belly fat.

Photos aren't going to help the situation. Are there any proven supplements that may help in a situation like this?

Dr. Whitaker in his Health & Healing newsletter, some time ago had an article on a study that was done using l gram of acetyl L carnitine 2x. Over several months fat was lost, and muscle increased. Not big amounts, but results were positive. I have used the idea, and my scale said it worked.

Make your last meal at 8:00P an apple and 3 prunes.

Thanks. Can't do the last meal @ 8pm though. I'm quite nocturnal.

I take acetyl l carnitine when I'm on a deficit and also a good fat burner stack. It has been shown to support lipolysis.

I got rid of mine the easy way. I got a divorce.

You're going through hell. Keep going.

You have to match it with stubbornness. I am at 12%, have slight upper ab definition, slight lower ab definition, I can see vascularity in lower abs and obliques in the morning, and still have a belt of fat right below my belly button. You can very easily have 10% bodyfat with most of it left in the midsection. Its been there for a LONG time and wont go away quickly or easily. Keep cutting....

I have awsome abs too, they are just covered by fat so you can't see them either, loll
