So who wants a six pack/slim waist for the summer then?
GIRLS / BOYS/

Ineff went from been the guy you pushed past in the coat que to the guy you let pass you at the bar, all in a matter of months. Can you do the same?

Some Tips

Eat six times a day.
Eat three standard meals and three smaller snacks. For example:

8 a.m. BREAKFAST
11 a.m. SNACK
1 p.m. LUNCH
4 p.m. SNACK
6 p.m. DINNER
9 p.m. SNACK

1 For Fats stick with Mediterranean-style fats such as olive oil, fish, nuts and avocados, which do not promote heart disease or cancer, but do have health benefits such as lowering your cholesterol and protecting your joints.

2 Use nonfat dairy products high in calcium.

3 Drink more water. Water helps mobilize fat stores, while dehydration prompts stubborn fat to sit tight (or, more accurately, sit loose). Many weight-loss experts believe that drinking one ounce of water (or any noncaffeinated, nonalcoholic beverage) per pound of body weight is the formula for effective fat burning.

4 Avoid carbonated beverages. DIET COKE is not a real DIET drink. Get the Water!

5 Replace some starches with vegetables. Example replace half your rice, potatoes or pasta with a cup of a vegetable such as broccoli, cauliflower, green beans or zucchini. While a cup of white rice contains 240 calories, a cup of mixed steamed vegetables has only 50.

6 Don't eat a big evening meal and less/no carbs after 6.

7 Creatine helps burn fat. For years creatine has been used to pump up muscles, but it also helps burn calories. A study published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine showed that creatine can help you burn an extra 100 calories a day. Try five grams a day, taken after your workout, for at least six weeks.

8 Vary your caloric intake. Instead of eating the same thing day in and day out try a srict two days a week and moderately three days a week, then give yourself a little slack on the weekends. Never giving it the chance to kick in its primitive survival mechanism that stores fat when calories are cut back.

9 Pump up the protein. When you decrease your total calories, you need to increase your protein intake an extra 20 percent to maintain your muscle mass and keep your metabolism in high gear.

10 No sugar in Tea!And of course no crisps and chocolate.
(Try and cut the beer awell)

Do your cardio in the morning if you can , 3 times a week, 40 min sessions after a coffee.

FOODS

Breakfasts - Cereals, Oat like - Oatabix etc
Snacks and meals Play around with Eggs, Tuna, Pasta,Baked potatoes,brown rice, Fish , Some salads, But dont go nuts with the carbs and DO not eat until your full.

My diet is good and train regularly, though unable to shift some of the gut. Rest of body is toned

Any pills or suppliments to get the abs out.

Nope, well not any that will benefit till you are 99% of the way there. Your diet cannot be as good as you say, the abs will show through usually last compared to the rest of the body. Work hard and get your diet correct.

I am down to 2000 cals on training days (1800 on non) for the last fortnight - no cheat meals either.

Getting cravings for things I never really had much time for.

Gonna make up for the last 2 months when I get to Italy, can't wait.

Just wondered if anyone uses/ has tried any.
Hemp protein looks decent but like you said, probably tastes like shit..

I'll get in on this.

Going on holiday in four weeks time and decided I wanted to shift the lard around my belly. I think I am doing well. Abs feel rock solid and are slowly beginning to peek. I'm 27 and physically I feel better than I ever have before due to a complete switch around in nutrition, careful exercise and weight training. My arms and chest have grown, my shoulders are looking a little fuller and my back is looking more ripped. Just to clarify as well, I'm not looking to get 'BIG', my aim with this was to get rid of the fat and put a bit of size on.

Before (Monday 11th June)

Today

Would be good to know your thoughts. Four weeks to go and then when I'm back, I continue. I will post another pic a few days before I go away.

Cheers mate. That's my plan. I can force those abs out more in the next four weeks no doubt.

Good stuff on the fat loss, you've got a good foundation to build on when you get back off your jollies.

Add some vit c tabs in to your diet, they are a mild diuretic/antioxidant, they will help get the abs out with plenty of h2o.

When you get back pick something that interests you be it strength training, high intensity or crossfit etc.
You've obviously got the willpower to stick to goals Cool

Cheers canhoto. I take multivit and omega 3 daily, along with eating a varied 1750 calories daily over six small meals. I've cut out drink completely since June 11th too and replaced with water and green tea.

Fuck knows how I've managed it, but it's as they say when you begin to see results, you need it more and more and the main thing is I am really enjoying this lifestyle and make very sensible choices on eating. I also now love early morning HIIT!

Just be wary of becoming over obsessed. Especially with the scales/macros, saps the fun out of it!

Love HIIT, great for breaking plateaus and pushing oneself.
Make sure you warm up the hammies properly, can't count the amount of times I've pulled a hamstring Eye-wink

That's true. I have my cheat day(s) usually on weekend to give myself a bit of a reward Eye-wink

I was doing LISS for a good month and seeing results and then reached a plateau so replaced slowly with HIIT and things have kicked into gear again. About the injuries, fortunately haven't had one (yet) as I do warm up a good amount of time before I get going.

For anyone who cares here my 3 week update since the last time I posted up, lack of weight lifted this month due to a wrist injury. All in all though my cardio has improved and I am feeling quite good. Last few days I have started to lift again, DL up to 150x2x2. Military press now 60x5x5 and squat still hovering around 120/130x3. Not benched all month.
