Is there a diet to go by to lose fat below the belly button and thighs more effectively?

I’ve been on a low-carb/low-sugar diet since March, and excercise out the wazoo. I do cardio activity everyday 60-90 minutes, and stability ball excercises for my lower belly fat and thighs I’m trying shed (but won’t go!!!) . I was not that overweight to begin with, which is why for 5 months all I could lose was no more than 12 lbs. But I have very stubborn fat in these areas that will not go. I do crunches, too. I’ve exhausted all avenues and have no clue what else to do. Could it be because that even tho my diet consists of fruit, vegetable, meat, dairy, nuts, beans, & whole-wheat bread — that it’s in high fat grams that I can’t lose weight? My diet is low-calorie (as all low-carb/low-sugar diets are) I take in no more than 1400-1600 calories a day, but it’s high in fat grams. Could my diet be hindering fat loss in lower-belly / thighs? Or are there other things I need to be doing amidst the diet and workouts?

My son currently only drinks non-dairy formula. He is at step 2 for solids. I’ve mainly been giving him rice cereal, fruits, veggies, oatmeal and then formula. I’ve been told that babies need whole milk not only for calcium but because the fat in it helps with motor skills or something like that. We are also trying to stay as fresh and raw as possible as well. What would a daily diet look like for him? How does the food pyramid look for our lifestyle? Thanks!

I am about to start back to the gym and wondering what is the best diet to follow while working out. I understand that you can not achieve the results you want just by working out. So, I am going to be doing a combo cardio and free weights three times a week first thing in the mornings. I am looking to of coarse lose body fat and tone and define my body. Sould I drink a protein shake before I workout and after. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My main target area is my stomach! I try to exercise when possible, but I tire easly from running around after three kids and cleaning and working..takes all my energy! Any advice as to what you think is a good diet would be great!
