Thanks for all the replies and suggestions guys, i appreciate it.
I'll try to follow most of the things you wrote, and see how it goes....

hahahaha


Oh, and aico.... i don't have the time to go to the gym
those 2000 posts are done while i'm in the office... seeing i usually just stay on hold till i'm needed, i just stay on the internet... but i can't leave to go to the gym...

Hey Angelo...

The HOW is not important... what is really important is you find something you like to do and that you stick with it...

Good luck!

Atkins you actually can eat bread again after induction. Once you hit the weight your happy at you need to add carbs back in order to maintain that weight. Each person is different but there is room for carbs once you got the target weight you want. Over do it and eat nothing but sandwiches, cereal, pototoes and rice and you'll gain again.

Have a sandwich for lunch on normal break and your ok. Or have a potato for dinner and your ok.

Atkins is very easy to do though and when carbs are cut down, its amazing how little the sugar/carb cravings really are. After about 3 days they go way down.

every post in this thread should be complimented with a pic of the poster haha

Stop eating any processed foods including anything made with flour and drink only water.

If you can't find an hour every other day to go to the gym then enjoy holding onto that belly! Trying to reshape your body without the proper tools or environment to facilitate the process is like trying to be a professional webmaster using a handheld pc but no desktop or laptop. That is, it's' technically possible, but extraordinarily difficult to make progress from such a disadvantaged position.

Fuck the gym. Just cut down on carbs and you'll be fine.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

All kidding aside, get a diet...."Any Diet?" and stick to it, if you do you;ll see results

People forget all the heart problems Atkins had, as well as the lawsuits he had stacked up against him before his passing. Carbs have glucose, and glucose powers muscles and the brain. Cutting those down also takes a toll on the body.

Truth... Consistant Exercise (cardio and weight training) and balanced meals will get you to where you need to be. Starvation is not the key, fad diets are not and an on again, off again workout regimine will do you no good.

Personally, I think Atkins is nuts. Unless you're a body builder trying to go from 8% to 5% body fat for a competition, you're crazy to rely on atkins.

Yes, atkins does work, you will burn fat. It's not a lifestyle though. You can't keep assaulting your renal system with fats. Your muscles won't show any significant growth without carbs. The _ONLY_ effective way to lose a beer belly, is to change your lifestyle.

For a man, the stomach is going to be the core area for fat. It's the first fat that builds up and the last fat you burn off. You never see anyone with a ripped six pack and fatty arms and neck. You do see people with a ripped upper body and some fat around the belly.

Diets are a fad quick-fix solution that rarerly ever work in the long run. Consider eating quality foods, carbs, proteins and fats in the correct proportion in sensible sized meals and adding exercise.

A diet will never improve your heart or cardio. On top of that, if you took a guy 100 pounds over weight, and burned every ounce of fat off, he'd just look like a ridiculous skeleton with excess skin hanging off. You want to burn fat off to a reasonable level, and then add lean muscle. Lean muscle will burn more calories in the long run. You don't get that ripped lean look by just losing your body fat, you have to build up the muscle as well. You can't accomplish this in a meaningful way without exercise and carbs to fuel your muscles.

There is a big division between pro-gymmers, and anti-gymmers
=P

Hard truth: Yes you do! . . . "Those who don't have time for exercise now will be forced someday to MAKE time for illness. Remember that.

Just a little tough love there. Even if it's just 20-30 minutes, do some exercise.

That's a great fucking post and true.

Here's the thing. Cutting carbs is smart, but doing Atkins style carb cutting is bad news. It does work in the short term but it's not a permanent solution like a lifestyle change is. The reason you need to cut carbs is because most of the carbs we consume are "empty carbs," like white rice, white bread, and of course casked and cookies, which I unfortunately happen to love. So cutting carbs wisely is advisable, but don't cut all carbs. Eat carbs the right way--natural carbs like fruits (not juices) and whole grains.

Of course it's not all about carbs. You have to eat a healthy, balanced diet. Fish is a big part of that. So are vegetable and a fair amount of greens. Basically,make a concerted effort to have grains, fruits, vegetables and lean meats.

Exercise. No real way around it. But you don't have to go to the gym. I hate the fucking treadmill. So I walk and play tennis and lift weights a little.

I'm just starting cause I am 25 pounds overweight too. But I know fad diets suck. The best is to use common sense and incorporate healthy lifestyle knowledge from a lot of sources. For example--Atkins is not total horseshit, but also not a real long term solution. He is right that carbs are fattening us. But they thing you have to cut out is bad foods, whether it's carbs, sugar, etc.

I agree with all those who said it's making a lifestyle choice. East better,drink better and get some exercise, min of 30 mins 3x per week. It's not hard to find 90 extra minutes per week. If you don't, you'll have to find time for illness down the road.

awww, got that problem too...but right now my belly is not that big as before...proly, you have to minimize to drink beer and food high on carbo, that's what i did....

Try buying a Tony Little Gazelle sprint master.I use it every other day and I sweat my bag off.It's like a tread mill and I'm seeing results after a month and toning up great

quit drinking so much beer :winkwink:

spot reducing has been proven to be true. so diet and do fuckloads of ab work.

Hold on a second here. There's nothing wrong with white rice. It's the same carb as brown rice. The difference is that brown rice has thew whole husk around it still making it a whole grain. White rice cooks faster and easier that brown rice so it can be a lot more convient.

I actually trimmed up a good bit by switching from beer to vodka. I'll report back in a month or two with further results

don't eat dinner... lol... try some sports pal... every weekends would be good... :D

drink more vodka..enough to throw up after each meal...repeat daily

drink less - fuck more :pimp

just eat fruits instead of rice, pork and meat..that would not only makes you healthy but could lose your weight..
it is one way of diet..

Start walking and eating a proper diet.

Not true for everyone... most people are somewhat slim naturally and if they've got a beer belly chances are they consume to many carbs via beer or food.

Bullshit that you don't have enough time to exercise. That is such an outdated and lame excuse.

Daddy Dude, what is wrong with diet soda? Sodium?

What about cheese? cheese = death

What about switching from vodka to pills or snorting powders or smoking rocks? That must be less caloric.

Angelo you live in Milan...walk all over the places!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Outdated?

You mean like people used to have more spare time than they do nowadays? :upsidedow

No there is nothing "wrong" with white rice like cookies, cakes etc. But if you're going to eat rice, it has relatively little nutrition relative to brown. Empty carbs. That'smy point.

I guess, first of all try to motivate your will - what will you get being in shape?

Hahah, but i've already walked all over the place! :1orglaugh

Ehm... nothing more than what i already have...

i'll just have disposed of something not needed :upsidedow

no beer = no beer belly

No, no, no and no again. It's the SAME carb. The only difference is the fiberous husk. White and brown rice have the same carb value.

But unfortunately, theres already beer inside it from some time ago

...i need to get it out after all this time :pimp

Sex !!!
And Abs are build in the kitchen :)

just cut the beer and greasy foods out

Switch to a light beer
