Weight and Fat

I haven't lost weight (not seriously trying at this time) and don't seem to be doing much more working out, but I believe my wiggly belly fat has started to recede*. I am doing more core work, mostly with the aim of helping my ITB (the exercises include core work) but it doesn't seem like that much more. I also have been <i>trying</i> not to eat as much fat during the day (no Ben and Jerry's for a while, and reduced chocolate intake per day) so maybe that is helping have an effect.<br><br>
I am fairly certain that reducing my overall fat intake is the logical thing to do, in order to keep reducing the cute (NOT) pouch on my front. Anyone have any supporting or counter wisdom to offer?<br><br><br><br><br><span style="font-size:xx-small;">*I cannot back up this feeling with data, like measurements or anything at this time.</span>

When boiled down to its basics, the Abs Diet is essentially 6 smaller meals per day using clean eating principles.<br><br>
Another point from above. Aerobic exercise (i.e. LSD) is not the best for of exercise for weight loss. Short, fast intervals are.<br><br>

You know, my response wasn't the best either. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> What I meant to say was that short, fast running intervals are better at burning fat than continuous aerobic exercise.<br><br>
