[Closed] losing a belly!

ride hard every other day and you can eat whatever the **** you want

I can testify that that isn't true for everyone.

You lot all need to realise that what works for you won't necessarily work for everyone else.

You've got to believe in the magic or it won't come true 😀

This is very true in the context that our bodies, while all functioning in a similar manner.
Will respond to x, y, z, with noticeable degrees of variation in results.
So therefore, to realize a common result, you may need to do things to greater or lesser degrees than others do.
Things that you have noticed your body and your lifestyle responds to best.

Dont let this detract from the science, as it is explanied to us, at this point in time.

While Legspin points out the obvious about more than one way to achieve your goal (weight loss).
I have encountered very few people who seek to lose weight the most difficult way possible.
I believe most people want to achieve their goal as easily as possible.

🙂

seriously just ride more. ride so that every day you are either knackered having just ridden, or having a day off cos you are knackered from the day before.

ride hard every other day and you can eat whatever the **** you want. also it helps for insomnia, and riding faster.

Learn to live with it, my fat guts been with me for ages now. I just can't eat less than I do now.
The rest of me is very thin, my veins are visible and sticky outy on my legs and arms. You can also see my ribs down my sides.
But my belly is mahoosive.

Me far left in green warmers, you can see the swallowed football pushing out my gilet zip

😆 This is a bigger misconception than all the diet guff that's spouted on here.

Solo, why?

Have I hurt your delicate feelings? 😆

How many people do you know that are suffering from over-training?

OldGit.

Someone needed to tell that chap in the centre of that group picture, to, errr, [i]smile[/i]
🙂

Thing is I'm not actually overweight (according to my BMI i'm just Ok)

A recent study found that a large number of people who were normal by BMI were actually obese by body fat percentage.

😉

please provide clinical evidence that you are not suffering

Well that's not going to happen now is it.

I can provide anecdotal evidence that I'm never ill. That I'm mentally very sound and free from any sort of depression.

I also don't have any SSF 😉

In the zone dude in the zone.

Ah, Ok.
nuff said.

Is anyone going to suggest liposuction? Worked for me, I'm on the eating phase right now and when I get to 20 stone I'll be off to the docs. Bish bash bosh, summer beach body... 😀

400 situps/day

He wants to lose the belly.

How many people do you know that are suffering from over-training?

I over did it in 2009, badly. Took 18 months or so to recover.

Compulsively masturbate 10 times a day, that should burn some fat.

just be happy with being a chubster, being at peace and happy with yourself is far more attractive(and better for your long term well being) than being a neurotic gym bunny.

Is anyone advocating that?

Again I can assure you that does not work for everyone.

Tried and failed molgrips?

Is anyone advocating that?

pretty everyone on the tread really mr grips

that bicep toting yeti particularly 😀

whereas I'm fat and neurotic so I'm sorted 😆

How much were you doing? How long did you take building up to that level? What actually happened?

Tazzy - I'm definitely advocating being happy with yourself, no matter how big you are, what you choose to do for fun and what you look like. Diet in particular should never be a punishment, food is way too nice.

I know TSY I'm only teasing XX 😀

Oooh you cheeky scoundrel... come here and rub my imaginary 6-pack.

Corset, it's good enough for shatner.

*flutters eyelashes, makes sure legs are shaved and hoicks beer belly into sexytime compression pants*

I'm all yours big boy

I just managed to get 5 of my 10 a day after reading that... cheers Taz.

😆 silly sod, you are awful.....but i like you

You could easily burn 6000 cal a week without overtraining. As long as you eat sensibly that is a fair bit to consume.

Easy once you are lean and fit, not so when you are 5 stone over weight. The only real way is cutting what you eat.

Corset, it's good enough for shatner.

Of corset is.

it's not how many calories you eat that's the issue, it's where they come from

*cough* bollox *cough*

This:

Calories in < calories out = weight loss

If I eat 2000 calories per day and I use 2400 calories per day for say 6 months what will happen to my weight?

If I eat 2000 calories per day and I use 2400 calories per day for say 6 months what will happen to my weight?

I reckon a 20lb - or thereabouts - weight loss would be in order

Feefoo, if you stick 5l of fuel in your car and it does 10km per litre then you would expect it to travel 50km, but what if i stuck 5 l in and 1 litre went straight out the exhaust, then you would only travel 40km and have to fill up. This time you stick in 1 litre because you think that you have 10km to travel and yet you only travel 4/5 of a mile so you are still short.

Thats how energy works in your body.

Also whats the point in talking about calories in and out as its a meaningless unit as no one can measure it unless in a controled environment.

If I eat 2000 calories per day and I use 2400 calories per day for say 6 months what will happen to my weight?

If you're eating 2000 calories that are sourced entirely from sugar, the insulin your body produces in response will prevent you from accessing fat reserves so you'll not be able to burn 2400 calories?

If you're eating 2000 calories that are sourced entirely from sugar

I'm guessing that the statement I quoted:

it's not how many calories you eat that's the issue, it's where they come from

wasn't saying "don't eat a diet that is pure sugar"

Clearly I was taking an extreme example, but the example holds at lower levels. Anything causing an insulin spike will inhibit burning of fat for energy.

Eat a sugary breakfast and then go for a fun. Your body will use the immediate blood sugar first, then start on the body's glycogen stores. Result = no fat burned.

Go for a run as soon as you wake up, before eating anything, and the lack of insulin means that your body will burn fat to fuel the run.

Where your calories come from [i]does[/i] count.

But over a [i]prolonged period[/i] (like 6 months) your body will have to give up some of its fat as there's no glycogen available.

It may not be comfortable but the result is weight loss.

This is BS, no one has ever proved that theory.

If you're eating carbs, there's glycogen available.

This is BS

That's me told. Well argued 🙂

Bloody hell.

If you care to read on..

no one has ever proved that theory.

What you eat matters, even the folk on here must realise it. Apart from the usual argumentative types who like the sound of their own backsides.
