Like a lot of people, I have trouble getting rid of the little bit of excess on my stomach, which is stopping me geting a really defined stomach and physique in general. Is the Atkins diet a good idea? Should my protein intake still be as high? Do I need to stick to a really strict regime? Can you recommend anything else? Thankyou in advance to anyone who reads or replies. -------------- Craig, Manchester, England

Keep to a consistant diet over a number of months, keep the training hard and incorporate cardio to speed things up a bit. I have dropped 1.5 stone in the last 6 months which is down to focused training and diet.......if you desire results you gotta work hard!! good luck...!!
