I have Man boobs and Sort of Fat Gut But the rest of Me is Skinny? The Man boobs aren't huge, you can't really notice them under a shirt unless I'm running or it's windy.

Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one. Eat a healthy diet.
guyshealth.org/guy/stay_healthy/f… | How to get rid of my fat gut? I am overweight all over, but I seem to have an apple shape, meaning that most of the fat is stored around my belly. Any tips on how to get rid of the fat around this particular area of my body? | On Yahoo!Answers I find certain questions being asked repeatedly which is simply a reflection of new people participating. A couple of common question amounts to "How do I lose weight," or more specifically, "How do I lose abdominal fat?" I have gotten very positive responses from my answers when I paused to reply (and now beginning to get "It works!" emails that are very gratifying. I like helping people)... so have recently decided to put a good solid answer on my Yahoo!360 Blog (September 10) that I can point people to. These are my thoughts as a physician and athlete.
Don't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into "starvation mode" and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it will make you feel awful.
There is no site specific way of losing fat... the old myth about working your abs to burn belly fat isn't true. To get rid of love handles, you need to lose overall fat. That happens with exercise and watching your diet. More on that below.
The most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode.
Another overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.
To lose a pound of fat, you need to eliminate about 3500 calories. You can do this by burning more with exercise or by modifying your diet to reduce intake. If you do a Google search on say, "swimming calories" you will quickly find a website with tables of calories burned for a given exercise. You can use such lists to estimate how many calories you are burning up with your routine.
For diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet.
Fat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn't overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.
There is a subset of questions that goes further and asks about "How to get a six-pack?" The answer is the same. Six-packs are 20% abdominal exercise and 80% diet. There is one caveat... abdominal muscles will form in the position that you work them, so be certain to pull them tightly toward your spine while doing crunches, etc. Also, during most lifting, the "core is active" which means that you should be stabilizing with contracted abs then too. Fail to do this and the abs will form, but bulging outward and the result is not attractive.
If you are trying to build muscle as a way to lose fat, then you may need to increase total calories and specifically your protein intake. I target about 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight each day when actively building. That is far more protein than most people need in their diets.

I habe big gut of fat about right under my bellybutton and i was just wondering how i will have to eat and what i will have to do to get rid of it? | The MOST important thing is to eat naturally..without medicines, chemicals, "starving" your self etc.
first, it would be best for you to eat as healthy as possible..this will also help you considerably to lose weight gradually and naturally..
eat fresh fruits, vegetables, drink plenty of WATER..avoid all cokes, caffeines, smoking, alchohol etc. as these also add weight as well as they contain chemicals which disturb your natural bio rythmns as well as brain chemistry. try not to eat too much meat, and the meat you should eat should be "lean meat" such as steamed chicken and rice, or steamed fish with rice..and vegetables,, this should be your staple diet rice and vegetables with fruits..AVOID "JUNK FOOD" and "Fast Food" as this type of food is very unhealthy, lacking in vitamins really and has plenty of fattening molecules which make one gain weight and is very bad for overall health.
if you snack,, try fruits with yogurt or fruit yogurt and nuts.. nuts are very healthy for your body .and contain proteins.
go for walks every evening or morning or whenever you get time each day for 1 hour or 2 hours..make this somewhere you enjoy walking even if you have to drive a bit to there..and make this a daily routine..you will enjoy it once you get into it ..and it makes you feel great after..just walking for 1 hour or 2 hours.
if you do this..every day for one month ..you should lose around 10 pounds (.714 stone) per month until you get to your natural healthy weight.. look up on the internet for an idea of what your weight for your height should be ..and when you get to this weight,,your body will look very nice and you will feel very good.
10 pounds (.714 stone ) each month in 3 months you should lose 30 pounds (2 stones, 2 pounds)..for sure...but no junk food and dont drink alcohol or smoke, dont eat junk..just healthy food with vitamins and walking 1 hour or 2 hours every day..and drink plenty of water..this is guaranteed way to lose weight naturally and for good, if you stick to this, which you should,,as it makes you feel so much more positive due to the vitamins and lack of chemicals making you feel depressed...
btw, forgot to mention,,just in case you dont know how to really make healthy meals..buy a "food steamer" at your local deparment store..they are very cheap and work very well..as well as buy a "rice cooker" which is also very cheap..eating rice is a great way to get your necessary carbs "healthy carbs" to lose weight and has lots of natural energy inside. you can buy asian rice at most large supermarkets or if you have a local oriental market..they sale quality asian rice.. thai or indian rice is good "jasmine rice".. buy corn or canola oil to sprinkle on vegetables or rice before steaming to add to taste as well as you can buy several nice spices like "cumin" or "Curry powders", etc.just sprinkle on the vegetables before steaming to give nice taste.
drink "Green Tea" as this is very healthy and helps burn extra fat faster...you can buy quality green tea at most oriental shops or large supermarkets as well | What are the best exercises for a fat gut? My stomach is bulbous like I'm pregnant. It's not flabby, it's hard, but just popping out there. I hate sit ups. What else is there? | | cadio like a traidmill or stairstepper | How do I get rid of stomach fat/gut but keep the weight in my other areas? 10 PTS GUARANTEED? I am pretty skinny with a stomach gut. I want to get rid of weight ONLY in the stomach but not my arms, legs, hips, etc..... Or else I would look anorexic. I heard running is good but won't that make you skinnier all around?
How do i get rid of my stomach gut ONLY? | The stomach is the first place the body stores fat (for guys, for girls it's on their thighs). Therefore any cardiovascular exercise (running, cycling, swimming, etc) will use up calories and start to remove your stomach gut. It is unlikely your body is storing fat on your arms and legs (unless you are very obese) and so you do not have to worry about exercise removing weight off your arms and legs. It is generally accepted that there is no way to specifically target your stomach/gut for weight removal, you have to do general exercise. As it is the first place fat is stored it will also be the last place that weight is removed from your body. Just concentrate on eating right and cardio exercises.
Running is good but any exercise you do may have to be done for a while before you see results - don't lost confidence when you start and don't see much of a change. Keep it up (usually takes about 2 months, although you should notice some changes earlier). Oh and running will remove weight from all parts of your body where it is stored!
The reason why anorexic people can have very thin arms is because they generally starve themselves or overexercise. This is an image problem and some do this even after all fat has gone and the body has no choice but to start breaking down muscle for fuel!
Additionally if you are concerned about your arms and legs, you can always work on these. If you run and cycle this can tone your legs. If you row this can tone your arms and if you swim this works out most of the body! | What is a healthty weight for a 15 year old boy. I have a little gut, but not to big. maybe 2inches of fat gut? I have a little gut, but not to big. maybe 2inches of fat on my stomach | You didn't give your height or bone structure but here is a rough guide . If you are 5' tall that = 100lbs.
For each inch over 5' add 5 pounds
That's a very very rough "guestimate" for sure. If you have a muscular build or a broad/heavy bone structure you will obviously weigh more and possibly a good deal more. Muscle weighs more than fat. Have you asked your doctor what you should weigh in order to be healthy? That would be a good place to get a precise answer to your question. Good luck. |
