low fat weight loss

Question
i am currently doing what i believe is a low fat diet. - trying to keep fat grams to 30 or under per day - i have lost approx. 45 lbs in 5 months - combined with exercise 6 days a week, - just treadmill and exercise bike - where can i find good low fat recipes on the internet and am i doing the fat grams right or do you have suggestions for low fat eating to maintain for the rest of my life? also any exercises you can suggest to get rid of stomache fat would be appreciated as this seems to be my trouble spot as my hips thighs and butt have dramatically decreased.  thanks  

Answer
How many grams of fat you do depends on how many calories you are taking in.  You can't just look at fat grams because what really matters is your overall caloric intake daily.  If you have lowered the fat in your diet you have probably also lowered the calories.  You need to make sure you are ALSO getting plenty of lean meats, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low fat or fat free dairy. Another words make sure your dietary intake is balanced. You need to make sure you are not going overboard on fat-free foods or on foods that are mostly sugar.  Make sure you are also drinking plent of water.  Fat should be about 20-25% of your overall calories for weight loss.

I am not an expert in exercise so your second part of the question would need to be asked of a personal trainer.  I can tell you that aerobic exercise does not target specific body parts.  When you diet and exercise for weight loss you lose from all over, not specific areas.  Some areas though had more fat storage to start with so will take longer to lose.
