Stubborn Belly fat

How many calories are you eating per day? How many times are you working out per week and for how long?

The key to loose fat is a negative calorie balance. As long as you workout and eat enough protein and fat you will keep most of your muscles.
It's a long process and the belly fat will be the last place where you will loose it.

 

Yeah personally I eat the same meals every single day. I have a high variety within the day, but just for ease of preparation I eat the same thing. Point being, I know exactly how many calories I'm eating. If that's a little too spartan for you, then plan a few meals throughout the week so you can have more variety but also know how many calories. Again you can just eat whatever you want, however you want, but it makes it a bit more time consuming keeping track of your calories.

Once you know how many calories you eat throughout the week, you want a deficit. It sounds like you already know what you're doing, so just keep going and things will start to work for you.

If you've already lost a lot of weight though, your metabolism may have started slowing down. So for example, let's say you just lost 30lb (14kg). At that point you've lost a lot of weight and your metabolism will be very slow. At that point you want to increase your calories by a hundred or so every 3-4 days until you're at a maintenance caloric intake. Then, maintain your current weight for a month or so. At that point you'll have achieved a new weight setpoint. Reduce calories again by 500 to lose 1lb per week until things start to stall or you achieve your goal appearance.

 

hi, here's what i want to say. The most important thing in losing weight is to eat fewer calories than your body needs. In general, it's all individual. There are many programs to help you calculate how many calories you need to eat during the day. of course, it depends on height, weight and activity

 

Eat 5 meals a day.

Breakfast- 2 hard boiled eggs,
10 am. Oatmeal and protein powder.
1 pm - tuna and rice
4 pm - chicken and sweat potatoes
Dinner - turkey and a salad with avocado etc.

Stick with that rhythm and do some working out and you'll lose it.
Clean protein and either rice, oatmeal, potatoes, sweet potatoes.

No bread, no cheese, no fatty meats

 

Hmm! Interesting... I don't eat read meat but I will eat fish and poultry. Do you eat dairy at all or no?
Tbh I don't know how to go about that on a vegetarian diet.
How about a vegan protein powder and one of the carbs I suggested?

 

Thanks for advising. What does your "same thing" diet typically look like?

.

 

I eat a vegetarian diet which may be unappealing to you. However, here is a list, without quantity. It totals around 2000 calories I believe.

• Eggs
• Spring greens mix (spinach, kale, etc.)
• Gusta vegan sausage
• Yves vegan burger
• Red bell pepper
• Banana
• Apple
• Carrots
• Soy milk
• Protein powder
• Peanut butter
• Granola
• Berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries)
• Tofu

 

This is a great Meal plan! Thanks for the reccomendation!

 

It's important to stick to it. Think of it this way...the three middle meals are a protein and a carb. If you add mayonnaise for example that is not correct. Same for the last meal... If you have a turkey burger with avocado but have a bun with it it's ruined. Last meal fat and protein only. Stick with that for a month and let me know how it goes

 

Here is the simplist way:

<1000 calories/day

no sugar

1 hour of cardio/day

Just keep doing that every day until you hit your goal weight.

 

Hmm you may lose too much muscle that way

 

It never affected me that way.

 

Although I like your meal plan, I need to adjust it according to what is sustainable for me. I will remember your principle not to have cards for the night meal.
