Top tips for losing the beer belly?
Author: admin | Filed under: Booze
I’m trying to lose the beer belly but having a bit of difficulty.
I’m 5ft 11″ and weigh 11 and a half stone but seem to have developed a beer gut. Went through a phase of binging on pizza’s and McDonalds but have reduced these drastically as I intend to get the body looking good again.
Looking for a decent workout to help sort it out. Started going to the gym twice a week and intend to go running at the weekend as much as possible.
Any tips or decent training plans would be appreciated.

put down the beer. that will help a bunch.
from there it is abs. and cardio
Beer is fine, if you eat well otherwise. Honestly, it doesn’t matter what you weigh, if you eat mcdonald’s and pizza a lot, you are going to die young. Well, younger. Sorry, but you can work this off for weight but your artieries are going to clog and you will have a stroke or worst a heart attack.
lol buddy i have the same promblem it take 2-3 months of a good diet no bad food and a decent 20min ab workout mostly all different type of crunches although
As In Diet I Mean NO Bread while wheat but just a little u may sneak in bad food 1nce and a while but barely
Breakfest should be eggs always lowfat or skin milk there wheat ceral
lunch should be chicken or tuna with steamed veggies
dinner should be salad, steamed veggies, chicken , or fish like salmon
basicly u have 2 eat very healthy and do about 15 or 20 or even 30 mins of ab workouts maybe a ab lounger would help u alot more if u perfer no crunchs there 100 bucks look it up and u may need a upper body work out buy resistance bands and look up resistance uppperbody workout this will help seeing affect usual takes 1 month 2month usual for it 2 be gone maybe 3 peace
the reason why this is extremely hard is U Have 2 eat very healthy when doing this workout for 2 months at least strait no noddles or bread no fast food no chesse no good food it is extremely hard 2 lose your weight from stomach carbs are your worst nightmare and drink water all the time ok u will usually feel hungry if i dont lose my stomach in 2-3 months im getting LIPO but i most likely will im on a diet pill i dont recoommend
You first want to cut back on the alcohol. I know that changing your eating habits can be hard, but this is something that you must do to loose that gut. You will probably want to give your pantry a makeover. Fill you pantry with nothing but healthy food choices. If it’s not around then you won’t be tempted.
When you go to the gym try to focus on a TOTAL body workout and avoid “spot” training. If you do this you will loose weight much quicker.
Always switch your workout routine every week to confuse you muscles, because this is when you will get the most gains.
Hope this helps you!
I’m literally going through the same task at the moment, rejoined my gym after 6 months out (at the end of my subscription) and can honestly see the results of hard work after only a month.
First and foremost joining the gym is a great start (assuming you’re gonna keep using it).The beer has taken a back seat,but I still have the weekend glasses of wine and jd – just put in extra next time I train.
The treadmill starts the warm up 30 mins in total of alternate high speed running with walking (5mins each) . followed by crunches on the mat, aim for 50 to begin with and build up over the weeks to as much as you feel comfortable ( after one month I’m up to 350 in 50 bite sizes , one Minuit rest in between) – An alternative to this is to get a bar bell with small weights on as rollers, get on your knees with bar bell in front of you and roll away from yourself bringing yourself slowly back and you will feel the core burn, again don’t overdo it,but build up reps gradually.
You’ll probably want to do some weight training of your choice but as you get fitter incorporate the rowing machine and or swimming if you gym have this facility.
Remember none of this is worth while if you don’t continue to cut out the high carbs & fat i.e pizza and burgers.
Good luck with it!
twice a week at the gym will not do anything. running on the weekend wont help either. I dont know what your diet is like now but on the norm, 1 1/2 hrs a day 5-6X a week. 30min-1hr cardio 5X a week. Plus a good diet. its cool to cheat once in a while. But I have the same problem. 5-11 204lbs. 27 percent body fat. And I go to the gym a lot. My diet just sucks, and I LOVE the taste of beer
Hi,
You’re not overweight that’s for sure!
But your beer gut is bad.
Now there’s good news and there’s bad news!
The bad news is that if you exercise, your weight will probably go UP! Muscle being heavier than fat.
The good news is that you’ll feel and look a lot better.
For a 15 to 20 minute set of exercises which will firm up your abs and give you an overall body work out second to none, you need to read the hub pages article, FREE at the site below.
There are even pictures to help you to see how to exercise. You can do these exercises at home, at work, in the park, in fact almost anywhere!
Different ways of doing the exercises are given, depending on your fitness level. Do the exercises daily and in about a month you’ll be a toned up babe magnet!
Good luck!
Losing 1-2lbs a week is the best way to go. This way, you are losing mostly fat, rather than water and muscle. Faster weight loss is not better, nor is it sustainable.
Diet should be what you look at first for weight loss- this is what will enable you to drop fat. Try a balanced diet made up of mostly natural whole foods, with high protein, moderate carbs and moderate fats.
You need to know how many calories you burn- you can use an online calculator for a rough estimate. Aim for 10-20% calories fewer than you burn daily (too large a deficit will be counterproductive in the longer term).
Don’t worry about complicated diets or cutting things out. You can enjoy anything in moderation, as long as the majority of your diet is healthy.
Base your meals around:
Lean protein (e.g. chicken, tuna, lean beef, fat-free cottage cheese, egg whites)
Wholegrains (e.g. wholewheat bread, oats, bran cereals, rice)
Healthy fats (e.g. nuts, seeds, olive oil, avocado, salmon, whole eggs, flaxseed)
Fruit and veg
And drink lots of water.
Second in importance to diet, is heavy resistance training- this is what will allow you to preserve muscle so you look ‘toned’ and defined once you’ve dropped the fat (rather than just a smaller version of how you look now, with the same bits you’re unhappy with). More muscle also means a higher metabolism, so you definitely want to hold on to, or increase the muscle base you have, for fat loss.
You need to work ALL your major muscle groups- you can’t spot reduce.
Do this sort of training 3-4 times a week. A good place to start could be:
-Three days a week doing full-body workouts. Leave at least a day between each workout.
-OR four days a week alternating upper and lower body. Don’t work out more than two days in a row if possible.
Then you can look at extras like cardio to help create a calorie deficit. But cardio is by far the least important of these three, and you can lose fat effectively without it.
Make sure you’re getting at least one rest day a week with no exercise at all.
Focus on losing inches/dress sizes rather than actual scale weight- it’s how slim you look that matters, not how little you weigh.
