Question
hi sir, i had shed 15 pounds through dieting for burning belly fat. but i could not burn belly fat  and my waist size is same. why that so? i lost fat all over body but not in belly? what should I do so that I burn fat around belly? i am maintaining 1500 calories diet. but i did not bother to check fat content i consume. should i worry about only calories or i have to check about fat intakes too?

Answer
I can't answer your question, and nobody really can, because I don't know anything about you, your diet, your exercise history, your body composition, your metabolism, etc.   Yes you should check the fat content of food you consume.  It's not real wise to be consuming half of your 1500 calories as fat calories.

Belly fat on some people is the last to come off when losing bodyfat.  Don't be discouraged, you just need to change approaches.  Get together with a qualified certified personal trainer and/or registered dietician in your area.  If you're serious about getting results, it's worth the investment, at least to get you set up initially.

Hope this helps.  Keep on exercising.
