Not really toned? No diet pills are not good for people with pesky fat - in fact you are setting yourself up for lots and lots of flab down the road as your body decides to store fat against the famine you produce. Our bodies will have a layer of fat - like it or not, blubber is in our cards. Its serves a purpose,making it possible for us to survive temperature extremes and also making it possible for us to survive famine. Most of us, baring bad diet and lack of exercise, would tend toward having a layer of fat. Think Classical Greek women, how well rounded they are - that is what women are supposed to be like - well rounded, carrying a decent layer of fat - this makes it possible for them to have lots of babies. Skin on bone thin is a fad, a bad one, since it leads to lower birth weight, women suffering far much more if they have lots of kids and ultimately looks bad and forget about having a pile of bones underneath you in bed (yeah sex). Most likely that 'annoying' layer of fat is your genetic heritage and you are fighting a losing battle. You will (eventually) get over it. Being male and being genetically predisposed I have an 'annoying' layer of stomach fat - while I worked out with weights, did lots of cardio and lots of hard labor I never had a six-pack manifest itself - that is until I used lots of meth - even then while I weighed in at 128 pounds I still had an annoying layer of fat around the middle. Genetics - can't be beat. sorry.
