How do you get rid of a beer belly?

Question

I'm a 22 y/o male. I started at 164 pounds. After about two weeks of plenty of excersize I weighed in at 148.5 pounds. Now on my Fourth week I think I'm somewhere around 150 pounds. It's hard to tell since every weighing scale is different and I'm now always wearing the same clothes.

My waist line has trimmed down some. Not a huge noticeable difference. Although some of my clothes don't fit as tight anymore.

I look in the mirror and I still have a pot belly. :-( It's hard to say but maybe it's about 5 to 10 pounds worth of fat that hangs there and it looks terrible and it's bad for my self esteem. How long will it take for me to get rid of it? I've been doing aerobic work outs with some weight training and stomach crunches.

I put on this weight in the course of about 3 years. When I started drinking beer. I no longer drink beer anymore and I haven't in a long while. But I still have this beer belly that I'm trying to get rid of.

Answer 1

the only fat burning exercise (what you need) is cardio
crunches build muscle but they dont burn fat
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Answer 2

Have you talked to a Dr. about the belly fat? It might be that the only way to get rid of it is thru surgery. Your stomach skin has become stretched out of shape with the weight gain, and has lost some of its elasticity, therefore making it harder to "bounce back" to it's original shape. This happens often when people lose alot of weight in a relatively short period of time. Please see a doc about this, you are too young to have this big of a problem. Good luck and take your vitamins!

Answer 3

cardio like working or cycling facilitates of course. however the factor i attempt to undergo in techniques is that it is not purely a "beer" abdomen. i like to drink multiple beer on the weekends and frequently a million or 2 nights throughout the time of the week additionally, yet while i'm not destructive my physique that way I look after it in different techniques. Have a balanced healthful eating habitual, and stay faraway from the Soda and processed ingredients, those make contributions to the "beer" abdomen extra desirable than the few nights of binge eating do.
