1. In order to lose flab, you have to do cardio excercises. To focus specifically on the core muscles while doing cardio, you can try a bellydancing DVD. Do about 10-15 minutes of the DVD every day.
2. Your tummy will not look toned if you only do so by diet. To lose 4 inches, depends on a lot of factors. Your metabolic rate, how dedicated you are in losing weight and how much you really eat.
3. You need to exercise, try a combination of weights / body weight workout and cardio
4. Yes. See fastest weight loss on site below to get rid of weight around belly. It uses a secret trick used by models to flatten their tummy before an event.
5. a healthy diet is extremely important in the weight loss process but its important to diet right dont go for starvation or fad diets like low carb diets just eat healthy its that simple we all know whats healthy and whats not . also exercise is VERY important if you want to lose your stomach or arm flab or any other fat in any other part of your body try running or walking or swimming, maybe bike riding or you can pick up a sport it doesnt matter as long as your active try exercising 30-60 minutes everyday and doing 100 crunches every other day will help too and i also recommend you drink lots and lots of water hope this helps good luck you should also try using this website sparkpeople.com its really good
6. It takes a longer time. However not all exercises let you lose that tummy flab fast. Try low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein, and exercise. The foods are low caloried, and yet filling and healthy. Brisk walking is great for burning body and tummy fats. It is my lifestyle now. I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and a hour brisk walk 5 times a week, and I have lost 31lbs/14kg and gained better health. I am now maintaining my 108lbs/49kg for more than a year, with more fruits and complex carbs. Details such as my experience, meals, recipes, foods to buy, reading labels, walking as an exercise and to shape the body etc etc, are in my blog. Xiaozhen
7. i lost a good amount of weight on the special k diet. its basicallly just low calorie-- cereal for breakfast and lunch (i'd eat a piece of fruit like a pear with it if i was extra hungry), snack on raw veggies, eat a normal dinner (lose weight faster by eating mostly veggies and lean protein for dinner). dessert was a bag of popcorn, maybe some sugar free jello. basically its a lot harder to lose weight without exercise but it IS possible.
