There are certain foods disregard what Dirty said he's wrong about the food thing. Almonds are helpful for helping you to burn belly fat. Oatmeal, protein powder/shakes, olive oil, berries, eggs , beans , whole grain products, peanut butter, specifically green vegetables, avocados and green tea. Some of them help to speed up your metabolism. As far as the whole different for men and women, I don't think it differs. Of course , these aren't magical like it's going to happen overnight but it will help while you are doing cardio and crunches. I don't get why having a layer of muscle under the fat is such a bad thing like Dirty seems to think. Once you lose the fat it will start to become more visible so keep up with the crunches.

Well if you are trying to go cold turkey with garbage food then maybe that's why you are struggling. You should slowly transition and don't beat yourself up too much if you have some garbage type food every once in awhile.
