    1st time it was calorie deficit and running 30+ miles a week. I lost a 50 pound beer gut. Then I gained 30 pounds and gut back. 2nd time started July 10th on keto and am down 18 pounds. Gut is shrinking too. If you are built like me your belly is the last place you lose fat and the first place you gain it back.

    What I ate had nothing to do w/it.

    I developed a 6 pack by controlling how much I ate (cals/day net of exercise), lifting weights, losing 46# and dropping my BF from +20% to -10% as measured by hydro.

    Fewer calories. Plus Oreos, cake sandwiches and kale.

    In all seriousness though, I just followed mfp and lifting.

    Peole say you don’t choose where your body sheds fat. Why does my leg thigh have more fat content and more muscle than my left. I’m talking about 3 inch difference here.

    You can build muscle in certain place.. but fat distribution is genetics.

    because one side of your body is different than the other. its like that for most people. I am right handed so of course I use my right hand/arm more so there is a bigger difference in the muscle and fat there compared to my left side. same with other parts of my body.some people have one arm longer than the other or leg,some have one eye bigger or different shape than the other. it just happens

    I have a long way to go to get those flat abs I so desperately covet! I know this has mostly to do with diet. When will I start getting serious about this?

    It’s been 2 months since you first posted. Have you been losing weight during that time? How much? Are you seeing any changes in body composition?

    When you say it has mostly to do with diet, do you mean you still believe that your choice of foods influences your abs, or did you mean diet as in “eating at a calorie deficit”?
