Going healthy (targeting stomach area), what diet, book, supplements, exercise, sports are the most helpful?
I recently got back from a missions trip working in the kitchen and gained. I’m 5’3 and weight around 126 right with my usual weight around 118. I’m not overweight or think I’m fat but most of it is in my butt and stomach. I would love to lose a few pounds and mostly tone my body with concentration in those areas. I am addicted to sugar so I need a great way to get started. It would be hard for me to wake up tomorrow with a whole new lifestyle so this is going to be a process for me and I’m willing to take my time. I’m not looking for some diet pill that won’t be successful. I would love to hear from those of you who lost weight or toned and exactly how you did it. What is the main area with foods I should be avoiding, how many meals should I eat a day, is snacking okay? Are the diet books worth it, like Bob Green’s Best Life Diet? What sport or exercise will tone those parts the best? What supplements should I be taking, does weight smart one a day work? Thanks!

Your weight sounds perfectly fine and you seem like you are approaching this in a good way.
I wouldnt worry about taking supplements etc. Diet pills are a waste of money for what they are, and if you eat a fair whack of sugar then your energy levels should be higher anyway.
To drop the unwanted ‘baggage’ so to speak i would do plenty of cardio exercise, running, biking, even power walking etc. Try to do these as soon as you wake up in the morning. This early workout will burn the fat off quicker then if you did so 6 hours later (due to it already burning the energy carbs through the night on regular things).
Diet books can work, but im sure you wont find anything in a book that you wont find on a website for free.
Exercises to work the stomach: Sit ups, crunches, ‘The plank’
Butt: Leg raises, and leg raises on hands and knees.
Any questions do ask. Im a professional wrestler and bodybuilder with gym training qualifications.
Hope this as helped
