Trimming down my gut? - GoFuckYourself.com

Ironhorse · 07-16-2003, 05:16 PM

So I started working out again after years of comfortable marriage..ie.. beer belly land.

It's only been 2 weeks and I see a difference in my upper body strength but seems like my gut does not want to cooperate.

Any of you workout gurus have any tips for trimming down the belly? What has worked for you?

Here is some advice that is taken from my website http://www.drphil.com.

These are the 10 most commonly asked questions about fighting the battle of the bulge.

1. Don't genetics affect weight?
Absolutely, but you have to manage your weight within that. Work with the hand you've been dealt; for example, being big-boned is no excuse for being 100 pounds overweight. Accept that you have some extra challenges -- and that you'll probably never be stick-thin -- but don't let that be your excuse.

2. What if medication makes me gain weight?
Some people truly have a medical reason for weight gain. If you have to take medication, or if you have a biological disorder that causes you to gain weight, the best you can do is manage it. Learn to be at peace with it.

3. What about "magic" diets that promise quick results?
Make no mistake -- the billion-dollar diet industry tells you what you want to hear. But losing weight is hard work, every minute of every day. How hard are you willing to work? Do it right once, and you'll reach your goals much quicker than "seven pounds in seven days."

4. My friend lost weight; why didn't her strategy work for me?
Everyone has different challenges, different resources and different gifts. Consequently, people must develop different strategies to accommodate their schedules. Find out what gives you results -- and don't quit if it doesn't seem apparent right away.

5. What if I just really like food?
Just about everybody likes the taste of food, but you have to develop the maturity to balance your intake. Control the quality and the amount of what you eat.

6. How is it that I can like everything about myself except the fat?
You don't feel 100 percent good about yourself. You can't be completely happy with yourself unless you're happy about everything that makes you who you are.

7. I can't seem to get my appetite in check. What's wrong?
If you're overweight, then you're out of control. That's not a natural place to be. You're out of control with your impulses, your life or your schedule. Evaluate your behaviors, anticipate your personal challenges and restore balance.

8. Why do I keep slipping into my old habits?
You can't break habits without forming new ones. If you take something out of your life, there's a void. And when there's a void, it's easy to drift back to what you used to do. You need to replace the bad habit with new, incompatible behavior that will crowd the bad behavior out.

9. How can I heal poor body image?
Don't let low self-esteem be an excuse to not live your best life. Get over it! Stand up and use the gifts you have. Require more of yourself than what you have been requiring. Just because you aren't proud of yourself every minute doesn't mean that you don't get to participate in life. Get specific and define what low self-esteem means to you. Then, behave your way to success.

10. I've always dealt with difficulties using food, but now I've solved my problems. Why am I still fat?
You're holding on to the response that you associated with your problems. Although the problem has been solved, the behavior -- in this case, overeating -- remains. When you solve a problem in your life, you must also stop "dealing" with it in negative ways.

Thank you for your time.

The fat from alcohol is usually stored in your abdominal area. gotta quit drinking.

It's not actually beerbelly since I don't drink beer. It's sedentary life that I am actively changing now.

I'm no fitness expert. But, I imagine that burning off the fat on your stomach requires two components. Cardio workouts and ab exercises. I'd recommend taking up a physical sport that you enjoy but requires a good deal of energy, that's a good way to do the cardio part.

Here's my favorite ab exercise, this should help you out a little bit:

Lie on your back, with feet shoulder-width apart and flat on the floor: Keeping your neck straight, reach between your knees with both hands and slowly curl your torso forward, raising your head and shoulders off the floor: Reach as far forward as you can, hold for a second, and slowly curl back to the staring position. Do 15 to 20 repititions. This exercise is specifically designed to target pot bellies.

Low Carb Diet - it really works.....
I've lost 20 lbs - haven't exercised at all - just cut back on the carbs man - you can do it.

Here's the secret.....Don't eat anything white:

Potatoes
Bread
Rice
Pasta

- You'll drop that gut in no time
