[quote=Anonymous]I am overall thin and reasonably fit (38 yo, 5”5, 115 pounds, exercise 3-4 times a week, mostly Pilates/weight/jogging).

But despite my low weight I have a belly, chubby rolls of fat on my mid section and hips. Clear apple shape with a gut whenever I gain weight, and my legs stay thin. Only times in my life when the overall balance of my body was different was when I was on pill with more estrogen, I started gaining cellulite on my thighs and comparatively having a more defined waist.

Point above is to say that I think body shape is extremely defined by hormonal profile/genetics and diet and exercise affect the margins.

Now, I do see some results with one thing only, for me what works is being super vigilant about GI of the food I eat and limiting flour, sugar and very carb heavy meals.. protein and salad keep my belly flatter.. I am not big on cardio but i find that jogging also helps with the intestinal bloating which makes my belly looks flatter (bloating is different from belly fat, it is an additional issue). On that note, even if legumes and pulses seem ok for the belly fat, it makes me bloat a bit too much so I don’t eat too much of it either.

With low GI diet to lose the fat and cutting out foods that makes me bloat, I manage to keep an almost flat stomach. But not miracle, 6 pack not achievable Without looking sickly thin, and I already need to be on the thin side to get the almost flat belly, as it is the last thing I lose.[/quote]
