All my life, from as far back as I can remember, I have had a pad of fat on my lower abdomen, between my belly button and my pubic bone.
I have recently lost a heap o' weight, done hours of Pilates and ab exercises, and still nothing helps. I am starting to look sort of skeletal on top, and people are telling me not to lose any more weight, yet still this flap of flab persists on my belly.
I eat a reasonably healthy diet--lean vegetarian protein, lots of fresh veggies and fruits, limited whole grains. I stay away from fast food as much as possible. I eat plenty of fiber. Honestly, I see little difference from when I ate whatever I pleased.
It is getting harder and harder to lose any more weight, and while the ab exercises do help to suck in the underlying muscle, the juggly blob of fat still will not go away. Llike I said, this has been with me since childhood.
I am considering liposuction, but since that is not likely to happen in the near future, does anybody know any other things I can do to reduce the appearance of this mess? How can I reduce lower-belly bloating, for example? Are there any supplements that will help reduce (safely) water retention? Will detoxification help? Any other suggestions?
All help is greatly appreciated!
