Will doing a 100 situps everyday tone my stomach and make the 10 lbs of fat disappear if I do them for about two months straight.
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
Situps?

What happens, IN HER MIND, is that she comes to see you as WORTHLESS simply because she hasn't had to INVEST anything in you in order to get you or to keep you.
You were an interesting diversion while she had nothing else to do. But now that someone a little more valuable has come along, someone who expects her to treat him very well, she'll have no problem at all dropping you or demoting you to lowly "friendship" status.

I think I have the right genetics to develop a 6 pack, ie skinny. I'm still smaller than I want to be so i don't cut anything out of my diet, but I may do in the future (after having bulked up) to achieve the hallowed 6 pack...although I was under the impression that one would cut out fat, rather than carbs...am I wrong?Nasman said:
Dietary fat and body fat are completely unrelated.
The reason he says carbs is because this is what people tend to over consume. You really need to consume less calories than you burn. But carbs are the main thing that cause body fat. Carbs are your bodies source of energy. Any source of energy that isn't used is stored as fat. If you over consume protein, yes you will put on fat, but it won't be as bad since your body has to burn a lot of calories to convert protein to sugar than to fat.
But than again, I don't agree with the above advice to remove carbs though.

The only way too lose fat is cardio?
Is the only way to loose fat through cardio and watching my diet.
What about not eating anything?

To expound on what John said:
Bodyfat percentage ultimately goes up or down due to an overall calorie surplus or deficit. That's all. Figure out your LBM, your BMR, how much you eat a day (fitday.com is great for this), how much you should be eating, and lower than by a few hundred calories. Keep protein high, carbs moderate, and fats low, and with a proper excersize program you'll start losing fat.
Carbs aren't the only source of energy. Fat and protein can also be used for fuel and often are.
Cardio is just a way to burn calories. There's nothing that makes cardio superior to other forms of excersize when trying to lose bodyfat.
You don't develop a 6 pack. It's already there. Either it shows or it doesn't.
There's no such thing as spot reduction (short of liposuction). If you want to lose fat in your stomach, you have to lose it everywhere. No amount of situps will help you.
Why on earth would you do 100 situps a day? Unless you're training for serious endurance (armed forces or a specific sport), you're much better off doing sets of weighted situps to build up core strength and make that 6 pack BIGGER.

Disagree to an extent, otherwise you wouldn't have skinny guys at 8% bodyfat with no abs - your 6 pack has to be developed like any other muscle with progressive resistance.md3sign said:

Well, technically the fiber connections are all there. I agree you need to train them to make them bigger and if you live a completely sedentary lifestyle yet have a super low bf% it may not look like you have them ... but muscles are there no matter how small they are.
