Not preaching to you my friend but eliminating sugar can go a long way in reducing belly fat. Lots of it in chocolate milk.
If you have a sweet tooth try eating a very small amount of dark chocolates. Eliminate the rest. Your body will love you for it.
I randomly picked this article in a google search. There are hundreds more confirming it.
