If you can feel your 6 pack - but not see - how can you get rid of fat?

There is no secret to getting rid of excess body fat: it requires following a proper eating and exercising plan.

With respect to eating, eliminate (or strictly limit) all processed (refined) carbohydrates. Get the carbohydrates you ingest from natural sources such as (preferably organic) vegetables and fruit. Keep your daily carb intake low (e.g., below 80 grams). Eat a protein rich (small) meal every three or four waking hours, and ensure that most of your protein is coming from natural sources such as (unless you are vegetarian) grass fed beef and sockeye salmon. A protein rich meal will contain at least 15 gramsof high quality proteins for an adult female and 20 gramsfor an adult male. Drink plenty of water. An eating plan like this will encourage your body to burn fat rather than sugar, which is what you want to lose body fat.

With respect to exercising, do both cardio and weight training. The cardio will burn extra calories during and immediately after exercising. You can begin by working up to walking 2 miles in just under 30 minutes every day, and do your walk before breakfast. If you want more than that, do another walk in the late afternoon. Do an intense, whole body strength training session twice a week. Concentrate on the basic exercises (squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, dips, and chins) and their variations as well as doing some core work for your midsection.

Of course, never change your dietary or exercise patterns without the prior blessing of your physician or other health care professional. The people who have visible six-packs follow a similar plan. It's hard work, but, if you work this plan hard and stick with it, your six-pack will soon be visible. For more information, see the page links, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.
