Losing bellyfat

[jwall123]

I'm having the best success I've had since playing basketball everyday as a teenager.

All I'm doing is basing my default diet on high fiber cereal, with berries and strawberry whey infused water and attempting a 48 hour fast every other weekend. And I'm not bringing any foods with binge potential in the house. Like I can't even buy a full loaf of bread yet.

It works for me because I can eat the same foods all day every day without getting bored.

Down 10lbs in a month, which is probably too quick.

Making fat loss into a math problem is the truth. But making it into a math problem has wide latitude.

I don’t think 10 lbs is too quick. That beginning weight is easiest to lose because of the calorie deficit you’re creating. Imagine going from 28k kcal/wk (4,000 calories a day) a week to 12,600 kcals a week (1800 calories a day). That’s a loss of almost 8 pounds in a week. And it is not hard to eat. Over 4000 calories a day with how calorically dense some foods are. 1 sausage biscuit from McDonald is 440 calories. Add the hash brown and that’s another 147 calories. Add a Sweet Tea that’s 280 calories. I would eat 2 sausage biscuits, 2 has browns, and a sweet tea. That’s almost 1500 calories and that’s before the clock struck 9am. Imagine what you’d eat at 1pm and then 6pm, and snacks in between. Once you start monitoring that shyt you’re setting yourself up for success.

I started my journey 2 months ago. Was 270 (6ft tall in my late 30s) and now I’m 250. Working to get to 225. That is my next goal. Just keep going!

I think this the most consistent i been in over half a decade. I push myself on the days i feel tired to work out and im staying disciplined with my diet and have been at it for 3 solid months now. Everyone at work is noticing my cut.

Keep at it. I’ve even been getting some comments about my cut as well.

Some clothes that I got tailor made last year don’t fit me. I’m looking better in my pics and I’ve heard a lot of people say my face is getting slimmer.

And this is just being a 1/3 of the way in on my cut.

I really think the next 10-15lbs I drop will really be more visually significant.

I’m over a month with my weight lost ….. I lost 13 pounds already …. I’m trying to lose weight and gut cut at the same time …. I’m upping my protein intake now …. I was basically eating only like two meals a day…. This is the current meal plan I’m trying to do ….. it’s tough because after I eat lunch around 1pm I’m not hungry for the rest of the day

Meal 1 (Shake):


510 cal / 38g protein





Snack (Greek Yogurt):


300 cal / 41g protein





Lunch (Chicken & Broccoli):


290 cal / 28g protein





Post-Workout Shake:


140 cal / 21g protein





Dinner (Tuna Salad + ½ Avocado):


130 cal (tuna) + 120 cal (½ avocado) = 250 cal / 29g protein

My coli gs let me know how that’s looking …. The calories and protein numbers are probably a bit off

Looks good unenjoyable but if it works for you.

Looks terrible honestly. Need to be eating more instead of relying on shakes.

I figured…. That’s my issue eating more….. after lunch I’m typically not hungry for the whole day …. I force myself to eat at dinner

lol I enjoy the meals …. I look forward to it

I believe he meals more solid foods. Shakes “should” supplemental and lower calorie on a diet so you have more space for Whole Foods.

What @The ADD said is correct also, we cannot give an opinion on an incomplete meal plan. We don't know what your macro goals are nor do we know if you are hitting them with the way list your meals. Here is an example of how I would list my meals:

Meal 3: Lunch
Grilled Chicken Breast: 6-8 oz (protein)
Quinoa or Brown Rice: 1 cup (carb source)
Roasted Vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, or carrots): 1-2 cups
Olive Oil: 1 tbsp (for roasting veggies)
Nutritional Info: Approx. 650-700 calories, 50g protein, 60g carbs, 20g fat

You don't need to do it exactly like that but it's important to understand the type and quantity of food you are eating each meal.
