how to get the unwanted flab outta here

ShooterUK Posts: 53 Joined: 2003/03/23	2005/04/05, 12:53 PM I am trying to get this unwanted flap off of my stomach so I can once again see my abs. I run about 4 times a week for 30 minutes and do heavy lifting 4 times a week also. I do abs, but for some reason I cant break through this barrier. My diet is pretty clean with an occsional night of drinking but thats it. What should I do in order to get the results that I want? -Thank you-

Your body uses 4 times as much calories to process protein than it does to process carbs, it also has a harder and less efficient time trying to turn protein into energy, therefore hopefully forcing it to use fat(and muscle) for energy.
