My big fat gut

[Pumpupthejam]

Ok, its not that bad, but its starting to look like I may be preganant. (I'm a guy.)

I put on 8kg and some mass which is what I'm aiming for, to get as big as possible in a good looking way, not fat.

Is just cardio the best way to lose the gut? Run, run and run?

I was hoping maybe some of you guys use to have a gut and were able to get rid of it and have a nice looking stomach.

The way that I personally lost body fat was to run for 40 minutes in the morning with my heart rate around 125-130 BPM (I'm 31) using a polar heart rate monitor. This was done before breakfast 5 days a week whilst still hitting the iron in the afternoon. I kept the protein intake high, but lowered the carbs in the afternoon/evening and didn't eat 2 hours before bed. If I did then I had a protein shake with water. Additionally to that I did a ab workout an hour after eating in the evening and I could really see the difference.

What I would recommend is a book by Gregg Avedon called "Muscle Chow" A great diet strategy book and plenty of tasty recipes. You should look at the "ripped" cycle section in the book for dropping body fat, it really works.

Good Luck

What about thermogenics? Anyone tried it?

[two_phat]

Yeah I've tried them. They're ok, but didn't notice any difference until I had actually got my diet sorted.

I brought the book from Borders. It's a good read, lots of basic stuff that I didn't know and simply strategies for keeping in top condition.

Some receipes for you from the book.

When I read the title of the thread, I automatically thought that Mr Natural was the author.
