Battle of the Tummy Bulge
i personnaly replaced my regular sugar with fruits and i have never regretted it , it all depends on how much trainning you do but if you work out 5 or 6 days a week , your muscles keep using complex carbs and fat as fuel .

ok if you are just starting then you should build up your core strenght and cardio , i would defintly encourage early morning runs and go from there , add push ups and pull ups to your routine and you will know when to hit the weights . remember 70% food and 30% trainning.

good luck to you

weight lifting also includes pushups and pullups which you will need to do anyway.about the running part , well good question since both make you lose fat but there is a major difference , running to a certain point , distance or time makes you lose a lot of muscle !!!! beleive me i'm talking from experience here. i'm not saying that you should not but i would advice you to go more for a high intensity training rather than steady long runs . just an example : you can run for 30 minutes at moderate speed ( say 6 miles an hour) and burn about 350 to 400 calories or you could run for 12 to 15 minutes and alternate betwenn miles an hour and 8 miles an hour in 30 seconds to 1 minute interval , you will lose 200 to 150 calories , that is less than the first trainning but , you would have reached the anabolic level which means that you will solicitate all your core muscles and lactic acide which will need to refuel from ---- fat. i would defintly add

Hi , i guess you have come to the point where you that losing weight is not in sync with losing belly fat , well then congratulations , you have reached the midway point of your journey!!! yes , belly fat ( men) and ( hips and butt fat) is the last fat to burn , we are gnetically built or that purpose so it is perfectly normal but most people lose motivation at this point because they do not have a six pack after all the hard work they went through , i adivise you to go on because the explanation is straight forward but the application takes time ( 6 to 8 motnhs and a lifetime of dedication) :

first , you should not lose patience as loss of motivation is round the corner and so is binge eating your way back to original weight. second remember that fat loss is 80% diet ans 20 % trainning. third , fat need muscles to burn which means that the 15 kg that you lost can be fat lost as well as muscles , so i do not know your diet but if you lost it in a short time ( less than 2 months) , you have lost fat but mostly muscle which you need , which means you need a lot of lean protein , a lot of vegetables , a bowl a day ( at least one) of complex carbs and a few fruits. once you prepare a weekly meal plan ( through FT large food data base) you need to hit those weight hard ( at lest 5 days a week ) i mmostly go at 6 or 7 o clock in the morning for an 1h30 to 2h of weight lifting. one last advice , you do not need a 1000 crunches a day to get flat stomach , just use your muscles abs when you workout . i'm here for general guidance if needed.
