Getting rid of the spare tyre

giblets · 29-10-2004, 10:25 AM

What is the best way of getting rid of the belly?

i've been told numerous ways by a lot of people, such as just doing Cardio, or no cardio but a diet and working the abs. SO I'm just alittle confused.

Anyone got any good suggestions for getting rid of the belly?

thanks

Spot reduction does not work! However much you train your ab's it wont make a difference to the size of your belly, if anything it might make it bigger, as the ab muscles will be growing!

A belly is a build up of excess fat around the ab's, genetics chooses where your fat goes, wether it be on your ass, arms or belly. The only way to reduce this is to use more calories than you consume, via dieting cardio or both!

hello giblets,

benjj is right.

what you may find aswell,when you diet to lose the belly you will lose.

size on other bodyparts,which is a bit gutting.

this has happened to be alot,

how much you weigh now?

giblets · 29-10-2004, 09:16 PM

At the moment, I weigh about 78kgs at the moment. I did weigh 82 about a month ago but had some serious life issues and i just stopped eating.

So now I'm piling on the mass and trying to shift some of the belly in the process.

The only place i have some serious fat left is the belly, and no matter what I do it just dosen't want to go.

Must admit, I am taking Mass gainers, but drinking them in water and not milk like I use to. My calorie intake is around 3500 a day.

do you do any cardio? i found doing cardio while bulking helped keep the stomach tight.

but to really lose the gut mate you are going to have to lose weight.

its the quickest way.

giblets · 30-10-2004, 02:04 PM

yeah.. I do plenty of cardio. I do a 40 min session on a wednesday and saturday. on a sunday I normaly walk or cycle.

So I think I'm doing plenty of Cardio, just can't shift the old belly.

I can probably lose weight, but don't want to incase I start losing some of the muscle weight I've gained. Any ideas on that?

have you tried a eca stack?

these help retain muscle while losing fat,

giblets · 30-10-2004, 07:22 PM

OK.. time to be honest..

whats an ECA stack??

I have L-Glutamine, various minerals and vitamins as well to try and help with keep muscle mass whilst losing weight.

Ephredine, caffine and asprin

Helps burn fat, unfortunally ephredine is only avalible on prescription, but I'm sure there's ways round that!

giblets · 31-10-2004, 03:46 PM

Ah.. That i can do.

I can get my hands on Ephredine, or something similar no problem.

Thats something I might try. In what portions do you recommend I take the stack?
