5'7 and 160 lbs . In a rut, have a baby gut...can?

The best way to get rid of that gut is eating healthy and toning the muscles that surround the area (not just focusing on the stomach). Try exercises that tone your obliques (your sides), this should help add some tone to your stomach. I can not emphasize the importance of eating healthy, if you have to snack then do it with healthy foods.

If you are serious about getting rid of that gut then no more sugar, cookies or cakes.

As we get "fatter" this can cause other hormonal shifts, such as insensitivity to leptin, which is a hormone that should tell us that we are not hungry. If you are interested in rebalancing this hormone, I can recommend a great product that has a natural way of assisting with fat loss which is more important that overall "weight loss. " It is a tasty fiber drink you take before meals that helps you eat less at meals and not crave between meals.

Let me know if I can help with more info.

It really comes down to diet and exercise... Not just cardiovascular exercise, but some resistance training too.

It's always important to get some numbers before you begin. Weight charts.net has a healthy body analysis tool that you should check out. That will give you some figures like how many calories you should consume, your BMI, BMR etc.

Do as much research about diet as you can. Eat as cleanly as possible, and drink plenty of water. Do not eat any packaged foods!

In terms of exercise, aim for a few days of cardio per week. Doesn't have to be anything crazy, just a brisk walk. Also try to do some sort of resistance training two ore three days a week also to help maintain and build muscle mass.

An remember, track everything you do so you know exactly what does and doesn't work for your body.

Do exercise specially on your stomach. Eat 1000 calories daily eating something healthy. It will help you loose 2 pounds every week.

This is some good info here associatedcontent.com/article/1117577/tr....

Interval training on machines is your best bet to lose the excess weight. There are several plans available online.

As others have said - focus on that area that you want to tone.
