Answer 1

stop drinkin, it works, i promise!!

Answer 2

stop drinking. or get down to one beer a week.
If you smoke also stop that so you aren't hacking when you run.
Then walk/run/jog 1/2 a mile a day for a week then gradually go up 1/2 a mile a week until you are up wo 2 or 2 1/2 miles a day. Also don't drink soda. Drink water or flavored water

Answer 3

First off you def have to cut back on the beer intake BIG TIME.That's alot of calories plus when alcohol metabolizes in the body it basically turns to sugar.Crunches,sit ups,leg lifts and all that stuff is great but it won't burn the beer belly away.Just make the ab muscles stronger.You have to do cardio such as running,swimming,stair climbing,brisk walking.Anything that will get your heartrate up and burn calories.GOOD LUCK!

Answer 4

Ummm...try cutting out carbs in the rest of your diet and drinking low-carb beer, like Michelob Ultra.

Answer 5

stop drinking beer would be a good start. Exercise and drink plenty of water to fulush your system.

Please read the recommendations below. Also, go to the book store and locate the book "Weight Training for Dummies". In chapter 15 you will find excellent information on how to perform abdominal exercises correctly. Page 218 of the book dispels all the myths surrounding abdominal training.

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
