Toddbt12y1 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Jogging would be better than an elliptical machine...I'm not a fan of them. Keep up your diet. Only undercut your calories by 500 of what it is. Figure out your body type(I'd link you a site...but cannot ATM.) Try to add a variety of other exercises to your workout. Yes. Protein can help burn fat. But like a double edged sword, it can add fat. It takes fat to synthesis protein. But to make it work, you have to workout. At least more than the elliptical. Otherwise it is energy, extra energy(fat). I am sure Tmann and the others can and will give you links, and more helpful information. But...you where the first person to help me ob LS. Now I get my chance at some advice for you... And a hopeful bump that someone who can give you a link will come up Link to post Share on other sites
tman666 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 What does your training look like? You mentioned doing some elliptical trainer work and some "weight training", but that's not very specific. If you could outline what your training looks like a little more (sets, reps, % of 1RM being used, rest periods, etc.), it will be easier to provide guidance. As far as your diet goes, it looks kind of light to me, at least for a male. I suspect the direction that you'll probably want to take will involve a combination of more intense training and probably more food. I wouldn't spend your money on any protein supplements just yet... 2 Link to post Share on other sites

The food you listed -- minus the soup -- totals less than 700 calories per day. That with your workouts means you are probably netting somewhere around 400-500 calories per day. YOU ARE STARVING YOURSELF! Eat more, please. It can actually hinder your weightloss to eat too little. You should be netting 1200 minimum. You can't spot reduce. Your belly will go away as the rest of your fat goes away. Just keep at it. Weight training will help. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Author Alban Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Last night while searching the internet I found this workout+ diet plan. Bodybuilding.com - Kris Gethin 12-Week Daily Trainer - Week 1. I will start this workout plan today. Many people have seen great results and posted it in there.. Link to post Share on other sites
tman666 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I could be wrong here, but in my opinion, if you want to see the full results of the program you posted (or really any program), you're going to need more calories. You don't need to eat yourself into obesity, but you'll probably find that 1,200 calories is not enough to go through your day with while training like that, let alone build any muscle/burn any fat. Keep in mind that muscle mass burns an enormous amount of calories and improves your hormonal profile. Building muscle isn't going to hurt or hinder your goal of losing the gut. Personally, I'd start with 2,000 calories per day and adjust from there. 1 gram of protein per lb of desired bodyweight. Make up the rest however you please, but get those calories in.
