How to lose only belly fat in 2 weeks
Me:
I am 191cm 71kg. I am fairly defined except my stomach.
My training:
I currently do heavy free weight sessions 4 times a week: chest, back/arms, legs and shoulders/arms.
My diet:
High protein/medium carb diet of mainly turkey, fish, rice, potatoes and eggs. No protein shakes (allergic).
I am going on holiday in 2 weeks and would like my stomach to look its best and it currently does not look great due to some bad eating.
So basically I want to drop as much fat on my stomach as is possible without loosing existing muscle tissue and am willing to work for it.
From the internet I have read interval workouts on treadmill/cross trainer and eliminating all carbs.
Does anyone have any ideas how to achieve this and fast? Should I take a break from weight training altogether or just add interval training or what?

You're not going to lose "only belly fat", but maybe you meant to differentiate "fat" from "muscle"?
HIIT and a very strict diet will increase your odds of making a significant difference. Adding a thermogenic supplement may also help, but different people react to those in different ways, especially if you're already caffeine-tolerant.
I differ from Dave in that I'd not worry much about muscle mass--HIIT dings mass much less than long, steady-state aerobic work. Personally, I'd stay in the mid-range of both weight and reps, if anything tending towards higher reps, and aim for "ripped" rather than "bulky".
You're basically trying to cram typical "pre-contest" prep into a really short period of time--it's too late for mass, now it's about presentation.
High intensity intervals and eliminating carbs sounds good to me. I'd pull back on the weights, staying on the high-weight, low-rep side, but not eliminate them.
If your goal were mine, I'd scour Martin Berkhan's LeanGains for information to see if I can tweak anything further than the basics already mentioned.
