This thread is full of great info (and some not-so-great) -- however, the OP I believe is asking about burning 'low stomach' fat because he's looking for a six pack. The bottom line there is <10% body fat... nothing else matters, no amount of situps on their own will get you there if you don't also lose the fat.

As far as losing the fat goes -- calorie theory FTW. I've recently lost 50lbs in only a few months by barely modifying my diet choices at all and simply reducing overall caloric intake by eating less of whatever food I used to eat before. A good rule of thumb (though not strictly accurate) is to eat 100 calories for every 10lbs of body weight you want (not counting exercise). So if you want to weigh 150lbs, eat 1500 calories and you'll maintain it. If you're also exercising too, you can and should account for that extra caloric burn.

Just my $0.02.
