I already had extensive allergy tests done... I'm really allergic to sunflower seeds, but that's all.

Fat Rat, You are right in your understanding. I'm not asking quesitons about the lower ab-fat, I know how to get rid of that.
My problem was just the roundedness of my upper abs, they just seem to be alot rounder than they should be...

my abs are the exact same way my upper is huge compared to lower and makes me look liek a big bloat. i beleive mine is due to extensive heavy ab work and swauts and deadlifts. it may just be muscle. if i am picturing what u said right. casue u sound like me and mine is just how my abs grew up top but not as fast downlow.

it sound like you are hearing it right...


I know good artwork, but here is what I look like from the side...
without any contraction at all... It makes my clothes stick out, unless I contract it.... what's up?

I think fatrat hit it on the head. When you see pictures of guys with midsections like you want they are always flexing their abs. I guarantee you that even guys with six packs can still have a rounded belly when relaxed. Take someone with a bit of fat still covering their abs and then have them relax and it makes it look even more exaggerated.

All the dieting in the world may get rid of the fat but it's not going to make hundreds of feet of intestines and other various organs dissapear. Learn to walk around with your abs firm all day if it bothers you. I don't mean fully contracted, just enough to keep them flat. I wear tight shirts and have a pooch on my lower abs as well, but by keeping my midsection firm you can't really tell. I do it without thinking about it, just natural to me like breathing. It would be uncomfortable for me to walk around with my abs relaxed as they help to keep your torso straight and give you good posture.
