Thread: need help losing the "gut"

Damn, I eat three times more than that a day. I don't think I could live on such a small amount of food.

Anyway, you need to increase your food. Eating 6 small meals a day. Also, you need more protein, healthy carbs and healthy fats.

I would start by reading the stickies at the top of the D&N forum titled: Guide to Cutting etc.......

I have a stocky build so 175 is where i would like to be but I would really like to see those abs start comming in.

During the contest I would do about 30 mins or cardio and the steam room and sauna 5 days a week and my diet was as follows...

Bfast- light and fit yougur or egg whites with celery on the celery
Lunch- grilled chicken salad with lowfat/cal salad spritzer
Dinner- Turkey swich mainly on low carb wheat bread or various other healty meals.

Im still sticking with the diet but also doing a circut routine with alot of stomach and cardio at the gym. I am obviously alot thinner than when i started but my question is after losing all that weight...How do I lose the gut and get those abs to start showing?

With that kind of diet you probably lost 50/50 fat and muscle. So you lost about 17.5 lb's of fat at the most.


What's celery on the celery?

biggest problem with the biggest loser contests......the focus on losing body weight and not body fat (improving composition). Congratulations! Your prize is a smaller fatter version of yourself with an even worse metabolism!

anyway, like Jodi said.....try and start to increase your calories (slowly) and get a good exercise program together. The best thing you can do is start to add some muscle.
