any help would be great guys

read all of the stickied posts in the fatloss forum....and the nutrition forum.....tons of food info...and exercise info...especially the hiit thread.

It's hard for us to tell you what to do when we don't know what your doing.

HOw much are you eating ( total cals / break it down to pro/fat/carb 0

If you in the gym 5 times a week now , what are you doing ? Maybe your doing to much.

Give lots of detail and if you don't know what your eating then start to write everything down . Do this for atleast a week.

agreed with TALO you should setup a program and follow that specially losing weight is all about burning fats and diet so write down wot ur eatin ..
GOD BLESS U ... ^_^

A question I have on beer belly fat is it just like any other fat? Or it a fat that you have to work harder to get off?

Fat is fat is fat. The stomach and lower abdomen are typically two of the last places you'll lose it fat.

I cut my drinking out entirely, and i saw results alot faster when i did this. i know its not an easy thing to do, especially at my age as all my friends want to do is go out drinking, but ive found it extremely beneficial, and i feel alot better now that i am not drinking

It depends on your body condition. So make sure you ask a personal trainer about this. Instead of doing heavy workouts do more cardio spend more time running, skipping, swimming. Also do more for abs.

I agree with Twoshay I quite drinking a couple months ago and between nov 3 and dec 8 I lost 2% off my abdomen. and another thing to remember is that your body is probably just getting rid of that snickers or fried food you ate when you were drinking two months ago. for men in general the stomach area is a main storage area so that is the first place it will store and the last place to burn, opposed to women (hips and butt). also I don't know how many meals a day you eat but smaller portions more often is going to help speed up your metabolism, also try not to eat a heavy meal right before bed (i.e. beer munchies ). stick with it man good luck

i drink regularly (not hard just a few)
it is true you will lose fat MUCH faster if you stop drinking entirely but that just no fun lol important thing to remember is not to eat fatty food while and after drinking... since your body try to burn the alcohol before burning fat all the fat you eat while consuming alcohol will be store directly as fat....
simply keep your routine going and avoid foods (especialy chiken wings ;-) ) while and after drinking youll notice quite a change.... also check what you mix if soda pick diet soda or water... simple changes like this youll see a major difference... losing fat can be easy if you dont drive yourself crazy over it

Yes, it is true that if you reduce your caloric intake, you are apt to lose weight more quickly. :)

i wasnt talking calorie wise but yeh thats a bonus as well i guess

lol if you quit drinking, do you go & eat extra to make up for the calories? You're missing the point.

Plus beer usually has over 100 calories in 1....and most people like to drink 5 or 6 so that is a HUGE amount of calories that you can just cut out of your diet, "beer belly" is a myth...you gain that extra weight because once alcohol hits your stomach your body stops burning everything and just burns that alcohol off, thus triggering fat storage....so I would suggest cardio and then some cardio and then maaaaybe...some more cardio

exactly

you didint understand what i was saying

^^ I'll bet you he did.

That alchool either causes fat storage or that alchohol caloires are mostly stored as fat has been replaced with the new theory that alcohol cause a short term reduction in the amount of fat burned as fuel.

What alchol does or doesn't do metabolically at any one time is not direct evidence for what will happen in terms of an entire weightloss regimen, nutrition plan.

The point ROSS was trying to make is that people don't stop drinking beer and replace all the calories with sundaes. Any effect that stopping or reducing alcohol has on weightloss is nothing more than a supposition. The only thing you can say for sure is that you are taking in less calories overall...and what's more less empty calories.

I'm sure somebody will quote Lyle Macdonald to me, or some other PubMed scourer. Fatloss has become nothing more than a collection of facts, webernet wise. It's like trivial pursuit, lol.

The question is not whether the little facts are correct but whether they really matter in the big picture.

Who the fuck is Lyle Mcdonald? And I agree with you 100% eric.

LOL, that's how I keep myself in check, Pirate. I just remember that for every person that listens to me there are 6 million who would say, "Who the fuck is that?"
