    Still your usual rudeness, I see. :heart: What exactly is ridiculous about what I have said? I have lost a little less than six pounds in the last four months--yet I have gone down a size in jeans and the ones I am wearing right now are loose around the waist. You have posted nothing in support of your claims yet you feel free to insult those who have actual experience with what they claim. Tsk-tsk. For shame!

    Never read it but being that 1 in 4 people have gluten allergie, even just mild it may intact help, I eat a tiny bit of wheat and look 6 months pregnant ! But as everyone has said fat comes off where bit wants, eat a cal defect and exercise !

    There's actually no such thing as a gluten allergy. There are wheat allergies, gluten insensitivities, and celiac disease. But no gluten allergy.

    Just FYI.

    Yes--there are many people who find that they can control their blood sugar much better if they don't have a high percentage of their calories in carbohydrates.

    These people are called diabetic and should seek treatment.

    Alcohol must be metabolized by the body immediately...alcohol cannot be stored by the body as fat...that energy has to be used immediately. While your body is busy doing that, it can't metabolize other nutrients or oxidize fat though.

    Hunh? So we actually go into hibernation while drinking? If we aren't able to metabolize other nutrients, are we still able to complete the respiratory cycle?

    Talks about the 'science' behind carbs and belly fat.

    Is given examples of science that debunk the 'science'.

    Claims science can't be trusted because of political money conspiracy instead of debating the point.

    :laugh:

    Or, in other word, "if you don't agree with my made up nonsense, it's a conspiracy". Riiiiiight! Laughable really.

    I eat a lot of carbs. I also genetically store most of my fat on my legs and not my belly.

    I eat a lot of fat. I genetically store fat on my middle. Not including a picture because it would scare small children.

    I've found that building muscle helps get rid of fat in the places you don't like. As many have said, you can't spot reduce, but if you lower your body fat percentage you'll have less fat building up in your "problem" areas. Try lifting, rock climbing, pull-ups, push-ups.

    Reduce your overall bf% and it'll go.

    You'll need a programme that minimises lbm loss whilst you're losing weight or else, you'll lose both fatty and non-fatty tissue and end up with a slightly smaller version of you still toting a (albeit smaller) belly.

    This,

    When you are starting to get really lean, then you notice that the fat in your belly starts dimpling and gets "really squishy".

    it gets very soft vs other areas of your body. It looks ugly when it starts dimpling but the fat is breaking up and the outcome is awesome.

    Carbs do not cause fat. Calorie surpluses cause fat. Eat a calorie deficit and you will lose fat. Resistance traing and you will retain muscle.

    QFT
  • I know what you mean. I think we all need carbs but not excessively.

    The only way to lose belly fat is to exercise on top of watching your diet. Our body stores excessive calorie in anticipation of famine which seldom happens in our society nowadays. While exercise burns calorie.

    The way I interpret your message is, you want to lose belly fat but you also love carbs, right?

    By all mean, go and enjoy your favorite carbs BUT NOT excessively and do it once a week only.

    For your belly fat, sorry dude, you HAVE to exercise.

    I know, I used to be a fatty too but not anymore. This is the program had helped me tremendously: http://InsaneBodyShape.com . Check it out you will agree with me.

    Step one... Stop arguing...
    Step two... Read article by Lyle McDonald whom is an expert in the field of dieting. BTW... I'm sorry but women don't react carbs differently than men; they just tend to have slower metabolic rates. I find the sexism in this claim appalling. I am so appalled I am crying uncontrollably and don't know when I will stop... I very ultra extremely appalled... By this racism... Why be racist against men? We've done nothing wrong... But... A few things maybe.

    Step three... Get a glass wine... Turn on some good tunes... Sit back... Let the good times roll.

    Still laughing...

    Don't be afraid of carbs. If you eat at a deficit, you will lose weight/fat. Also, you can't spot reduce, meaning I wouldn't focus on only "losing belly fat", because if you lose in other areas, you're going to be dissapointed. Just focus on losing period.
