I've had belly fat my entire life, but this year I got so fed up with it. No more excuses, just PoW.
I've made health and fitness my full time job. 100% complete devotion every minute of the day. At home or travel, I'm going 100% on this bitch.
I'm kicking fat belly's ass so hard right now, but it's the final boss. The ultimate villain.
And it's gonna fucking die in a few more months.
What are you focusing on? Controlling diet ? Or increase calories burned?
Steps, weight training, cutting calories. Working with an incredible trainer since June. Goal is in sight.
+ sleep
Sleeping is my super power. I can count on one hand how many bad nights of sleep I've had in my life.
Good luck brother I hope you surpass it with ease!
I preach "PoW or STFU" but I really needed to say something. Not gonna go into any more details, but I'm feeling so damn good right now. 100% focus, on the right path, and feeling the urge to let it out a bit today.
How are you accomplishing this? What exercises?
One day at a time, that's how.
Once I reach my cut goal I'll share greater details. I'll just say I'm really looking forward to my bulk when I can eat ribeye again. 😂
Love the attitude. For me, nothing made a bigger difference than tracking macros and calories with an app and the precision of a food scale. It’s annoying but effective — and you’re already there mentally with what it requires.
It's 100% necessary to cut weight. The "eat until you're full" method is complete bullshit.
Totally. I always end up gaining the weight back when “just winging it”. Especially necessary if you’re training hard and trying to put on muscle, which I think is the other really effective way to reduce belly fat. But typically you have to cut the lion’s share of excess weight first, hard to do both at the same time.
I also found that overeating even in a single weekend meal (half a pizza, beers and some dessert, for example) really set me back.
Is baklava out of the picture!?
Haven't eaten baklava since 2011
Love the attitude, friend 🫡
Switching to a meat and produce only diet (ie. avoiding most packaged things) and not drinking calories goes a long way. Add in at least 3k of walking or running each day and life is so much better.
This is the type of shit I love seeing. No excuses just progress.
You’ll look better, feel better, and people will treat you better. Keep going 👏
