My wife needs some advise

[teoracer]

My wife is 44 5'4 120 and has a very sexy body. The one flaw she thinks she has is......I'll call it a baby belly. A small deposit of fat just below her belly button. She does cardio 3 to 4 times a week and trains her abs every time she does cardio. Diet is her weakness any advice in this area would be helpfull.
Her diet is not bad (no fried foods, and small portions) although she does skip meals from time to time. She has no nutritional background so some basic " eat this....stay away from this would be a big help.

I'd advise her to go marry someone who can spell adviCe.

I"m Just kidding. Breaking the ice. Welcome to the forums.

The best tool in getting rid of fat is having lean muscle and keeping a high metabolism. Her diet is the utmost important factor. Does she do any weight training at all?

More lean muscle = Higher metabolism = fat burn.

From what I hear, "small portions and skipping meals", I'm guessing that she doesn't get enough to eat and her body is in "starvation mode". Then, when she does all that cardio it is muscle being burned because the body thinks it needs to reserve its energy stores (fat).

First thing I would do is work on the diet. Read the stickies in this forum, they will help a lot and do some searching around here. This is a great resource. For example, if your wondering if you should have a potato, do a search here on potatos. You will find numerous discussions.

Welcome again and good luck.
