Most likely, you can exercise & eat right & somehow still have a bit of a stomach. That's how it is in some cases. You don't need to be hungry to lose weight. Here are a few tips & tricks to losing weight.
-Eat a full breakfast. None of this 'skipping meals' junk, especially not breakfast. Some ideas would be Special K or other cereals like Cherrios [just not sugary stuff]. Fruit would be good too.
-Lunches should be simple & somewhat filling so you don't snack all day. Fruits, Veggies, Sandwiches, Crackers, etc.
-If you want a snack, grab some fruit, veggies & dip, crackers, pretzels, etc. Watch your sodium though. Too much sodium & sugar is not good for you.
-Stay away from soda. If you're obsessed with soda, I would suggest drinking Gingerale then.
-Dinner should have 3 settings. A meat, a veggie, and a side dish. Whatever you like, just not too much. Watch your portion control.
-Eat a snack sometime after. Try not eating after 7-8 pm.
Those are just some types. I would suggest exercising 5 times a week for good results. Running & crunches are the best exercises for losing stomach fat. Keep yourself motiviated. If you feel hungry at night, don't binge. Eat more food that is good for you. Some grahm crackers & milk or 100 calorie packs are good too. You're the only one who can stop yourself from eating junk food in the long run. Keep yourself focused. Imagine how you want yourself to look when you're getting these cravings. Don't cut yourself short though. Junk food sometimes is not a bad thing. You just need to watch how much you eat of it & how often you eat it. Other than that, you should see yourself losing at least 5 lbs sooner or later. Going to a nutritionest might be useful also.
