In just about all cases, this is the only answer needed.

Stop drinking?

I had to stop reading at "our families favorite show is the biggest loser". Not sure how anyone interested in helping people lose weight/get healthy can condone the practices they have on the show like 800 calorie diets, replacing meals with black coffee, taking caffeine supplements to offset too few calories eaten.

By now, you'd think this would be common knowledge. There's no secret to weight loss, just stick with things like this.

I really wish you could like posts on the forums, I'd be doing it for this one.

You'd honestly be better off just watching what you eat, holding yourself accountable for what you do eat and exercise. Losing weight is all about fuel intake and energy output. Find your bmr and work with that.

Sounds like a keto diet and honestly it's not needed unless you need it for medical reasons. Carbs are part of a well balanced diet. The whole keto, paleo, clean eating diets are nothing more than nonsensical fads.

Gluten isn't bad, dairy isn't bad, sugar isn't bad, fruit isn't bad. Fearing food leads to eating disorders, over restriction leads to binge eating and giving up. That diet is clearly not working for you.

Webmd is as credible as an infomercial telling you special wraps will cause you to lose weight without diet or exercise. Weight loss is all about fuel intake and energy expenditure, nothing more, nothing less.

You can't spot reduce. Mid sections are typically the largest fat hold on the body and that means it is going to take longer to get smaller.

Unless you have one of the few medical conditions that stop you from losing weight then your problems are that you're not working out all that much to be honest. One hour a day, six days a week with a day of rest is best. You're not accurately tracking your calories burned, get a heart monitor. You're not tracking your…

This pretty much ends the thread.

You can't spot reduce, sit ups, crunches, etc won't give you a flat belly. You need to lose fat and that's all about fuel intake and energy output.

Do you have a gluten intolerance/celiac disease?

Basically you're saying "any advice besides something that works".

I'm new to the boards, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? The typical "you have to go keto,paleo, Atkins, vegan, vegetarian to lose weight." "You can't eat anything that isn't clean or you'll get fat" "Sugar is one molecule away from being cocaine" kind of nonsense?

With GNC you're mostly paying extra so you can say you shop at GNC. You can find quality supplements that are vastly more affordable by browsing stores or looking online. You can usually find really good deals on Bodybuilding.com.

I see absolutely no information saying you should limit egg consumption to one a day, in fact three a day is perfectly fine and consistently raises HDL and LDL remains unchanged. There really isn't much in the way of evidence either way when it comes to eating more than three eggs a day.
