I don't drink caffeine so would rather not take a massive hit of it in tablet form thanks ;)

Fair point bro, but i dont drink Tea or Coffee either, maybe thats why i've had such good results.

they are not for everyone, just a thought.

take a look

www.jbc-nutrition.co.uk/fat-loss-animal-cuts.html

this could be a good way to get rid of water and that might be the key to losing the last of your tum.

Cmon mate, drop the marketing, this is not going to shift bodyfat alone, in fact 4-5% body fat is not even close to the products ability (or lack of) to burn fat

Now back to the original question

5 10". 70kg and holding fat? sounds like you have been doing something a little wrong

your diet is never of a fat burning nature, loads of carbs constantly thrown at the body and not a lot of training.
There is minimal protein to ensure LBM is retained and at least offer some form of anabolic environment. 50g of nuts is not a meal and its 25-30g of fat and some proteins which are not ideal for maxmium gains

you say you use too much butter....there would be a place to start
fast acting carbs everywhere, saturated fats with them = fat storage in the insulin spike

i too would expect a poor physique eating in that fashion, one which is low on muscle, high on body fat and rarely anabolic of inducing lipolysis

What are you stress levels like?

Cortisol released into the blood stream during stressful periods can cause an excess in the abdominal area......

Just thinking of natural things that may be causing it....

Still think depleting carbs a little would benefit you!

Ok, so starting with the butter, where next?

You say not a lot of training? Do bear in mind that I am an endurance athlete not a body builder so don't want to add lots of muscle...
