Keeping your metabolism revved all day, with small, healthy meals is smart. It has worked for me.
Another thing to remember is your actual body structure. For example, my body is short, and I have wide shoulders and hips. I do not have a small waist, in fact I am quite square-shaped. I am not overweight, and wear a size 4 or 6. No matter how much weight I lose, due to my body shape or structure, I end up with a slight belly no matter what I do. Just because of the way I am built!
So, I say, no worries. I know I am healthy, thin and in good shape. Any other body issues that I cant change just must be celebrated.
If this is your case, dont sweat it. We all have body parts that are not ideal.
If this belly fat is something new, or not normal for you or your body type, then something can be done about it to change, most definitely.
Another question I have would be: Have you recently had a pregnancy or some medical condition that has brought on a change in some physical or chemical way? Have you started taking a new medication for something, or a new birth control regimen? How about stress level? All of these factors can account for extra belly fat where there wasnt before.
Try to figure out what may be causing it, and attack the problem from there. And in the meantime, love yourself with your belly and all! [ judyanne's advice column | Ask judyanne A Question ]

I think that what worked for me is changing my diet to try and be healthy really helped me. I personally dont believe in diets. I believe that people should be as healthy as possible and fillthemselves with vitamins and nutrients. I do a 30 minute walk to school and a 30 minute walk home and it keeps me from gaining any weight. And because my diet is made up of small meals my metabolism increases which means that i loose weight very quickly. Instead of eating 3 big meals a day you should split that up into 6 small meals to increase your metabolism. I hope that helped. [ teenHeartsxox's advice column | Ask teenHeartsxox A Question ]
