I want to lose belly fat but I'm already underweight.

I am a 20 year old woman - 5' 2" and only 98 pounds. I want to lose my belly fat so that my abdominal muscles show, but I don't know if that's a good idea since I'm already underweight. Should I concentrate on gaining more muscle first and then lose the fat later on? Or can I do both simultaneously?

Well you should try to put on some weight but there is no harm in doing some stomach exercises at the same time, to help tone your belly


Here is a link to some really good pilates exercises that focus on the belly, www.inch-aweigh.com/pilates_exercises.html

Good luck!

Victims of circumstance owe it to fate. Victims of choice owe it to themselves.

Strength training and weight lose are diametrically opposed. Do the strength training first, then work on fat loss if that proves necessary.

If your already underweight and your having a big belly, that could be another health problem.  Are you thin and look like underweight?  First seek for medical attention and have your body check.  But you may also choose types of fitness training that targets to flatten your belly.

You can do some exercising for the stomach muscles.  I wouldn't go on a diet though because as you say you are already under weight.  Try the exercising first to strengthen the abs.

It is alright to lose your belly fats even you are underweight. To lose your belly fats, try half sit-ups for 10-15 minutes per day. I will guarantee you that you will lose your belly fats less than 2 to 3 weeks.

Try liposuction! The procedure is safe and effective. You can pinpoint the area that you want (in this case your stomach) and the surgeons will take care of the rest. Thank you for reading, Dr. Thomas Su M.D. Artistic Lipo Sculpting Center 877-422-5476 Artlipo
