Dang. You alright with me 4 that. Will do!
Had a coworker die this week.
Mellllllllllllllllllllll u ok?Is he getting any better?
for me and my health and getting a ripped stomach.....
Man...I try my hardest, I really do but when the results aren't there, the will power goes with it. i COMPLETED the Insanity program in January and actually gained weight. No, I didn't follow the diet plan completely, so I wasn't looking for drastic changes. But I was looking for something different, and got nothing. Now I'm not fat at all(5'7-185), arms, back, legs are good but my stomach is a different story. Also did 30 days of P90X last year and you guessed it, no results, that time I did cut out all fried/fast foods, no alcohol, no red meat and I know 30 days isn't a lot of time but even minimal results were nowhere to be found. People say they're refreshed after eating something healthy as opposed to unhealthy, call me an alien I guess because I feel 10x better after chomping 2 double cheeseburgers than when I stir up anything healthy. The only time I saw changes in my stomach was when my stupid self got depressed over an ex and stopped eating for a few weeks, I guess it's just one of these
I hit u on fb
I guess it's just one of these
Bro... don't over complicate this. I know it's frustrating when you feel like you're getting no results AND you're avoiding foods you love but you have to approach your fitness from a long term perspective.
If you want to get rid of that gut it comes down to eating less calories then you need. Period. All the fancy charts and graphs, esoteric science and fad diets in the world will never beat the simplicity of this statement. You need to eat less. You mentioned your diet wasn't 100% on point. That has to change.
Track your calories
Lift weights 3 days a week minimum. Do cardio at least 3 days a week as well (start off with 30min and work up to 60 add more days as you plateau)... eat 6 small meals a day built around protein, concentrate on getting most of your carbs from vegetables and treat yourself to something starchier (rice, potatoes, pasta etc) only in your post-weightlifting meal.
Aim to lose about 1-2lbs of fat a week. You don't want to lose muscle.
Drink tons of water get at least 7 hours of sleep. Take a long term approach and make adjustments based on your progress/situation but I guarantee you can get a flat stomach + an overall great body and health with some persistence. Massive change won't come in 30 days.... it took you years to get here it will take some time to transform yourself.
Good luck....
