Im new to the site, looks promising.
I'm an 18 year old college kid standing tall at 5'9 weighing in at a WHOPPING 130 pounds... I've worked out off and on for over a year and am really getting back into it. goal, the almighty 6pack. Last summer I did well over half of the P90x Workout (50 days.. roughly) and saw little to no results, I really lost motivation. thought process has changed since then and instead of going for pure muscle I want to focus on fat loss first. I dont have a lot to lose, im floating at around 11 to 12 percent body fat.
So I come to you guys for tips!
1) how long before I get to brag about the 6pack
2) what are some good snack foods
3) what are the fastest ways to burn fat, I enjoy jogging and have been doing it a lot lately. about 3 miles at a time, 3 times a week.
4) ANY,, and i mean ANY other advice anyone has to spare.
Thanks for your time! I hope this is the right place to ask for help, if not, sorry!
Thanks..

The P90X might possibly have worked if the diet was better in some respect, it may not have been the training at fault for limited results, but then again it could have been.
There's plenty of good snacks.
Tomatos, Carrot Sticks, Celery Sticks, Oat Granolas, Peanuts, Nuts, Seeds, Boiled Eggs / Egg Sandwiches, other Sandwiches, (Ham, Chicken, Beef or Turkey), or those fleshes seperately; Microwave Soup, Beans or Rice dishes, Salad, Low Fat Cheese, Yoghurt, Nut filled Yoghurt, Fruit, Olives, Pineapple Chunks minus the Syrup, Avocado, Tuna, but be aware of the heavy metal and limit to 3x a week, as per current reccomendations on Tuna, being mindful that 3x a week, means no other fish as well. You could also include Sardines in that too, being sure in both instances to drain off the Brine, as Salt can increase water retention when overconsumed and can also cause Edema, (excess fluid in the Legs), as well as increase hypertension risk.
Obviously some of these options can be whole meals and others make up meals.
