need help losing the "gut"
(posted in diet and nutrition also)
So starting Jan 1st we had a biggest loser contest at work. I won by losing 35 lbs. I am 5'6 and started the contest at 205. I won the contest that ended a week ago and I am now 175 but I still have a bit of a gut around the lower abdominals. 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?

To lose fat you must burn more calories than you eat. Simple I know but make sure you get plenty of protein to maintain muscle (oh and I'm not convinced the steam room helps you do anything but dehydrate) - ultimately there is much in the stickies about this. Good luck
I'm 34 - when am I officially an old fart?

Steam rooms? Jeez thought that went out in the 70s.
Anyway, losing the gut is more diet than training. Let's see what your diet looks like and I can give you some pointers. Show what you eat in a day-meaning go meal by meal.
The stickies are helpful, but if we dont point out what's wrong, we're doing an injustice.

What may be easiest for you to do, si keep with your three larger meals htat you have been eating and add two snacks in there. One between breakfast and lunch and then again between lunch and dinner. You need to be eating something every 3 hrs.
Also not to be overshadowed great job with the weight loss thus far, perhaps not the healthiest way though.I do my best to focus on the task at hand, and give 100% in what I'm doing at the time. Nothing else matters except the task at hand.

He was clearly burning more calories than he took in. He was eating three meals a day, and I'm willing to bet less than 1500kcal.I do my best to focus on the task at hand, and give 100% in what I'm doing at the time. Nothing else matters except the task at hand.
