Having a round belly is not only something most of us want to get rid of, (unless you are practicing to be Santa Clause) it is extremely unhealthy for you.  Many have found, even after dieting to lose weight, that they still have belly flab that they don't like. Professionals have spent much time devising ways for you to exercise those muscles or creating diets they specifically say are for belly fat.

Let's face it, if you are still eating more calories than your body can use, you won't lose the weight you are hoping.
