How to get rid of the 'beer gut'

Hey Jimi,

How are you doing? I hope that everything is going well. I, however, am starting to become discouraged with some of my results though. For approximately the past five weeks, I have been exercising between 3-4 times a week for about 45 minutes to an hour. I have begun to notice some results in my arms but my main concern is my torso and abdomen. I feel that I still have the "beer gut" and I have tried several different exercises including the ones that you put for my on my workout schedule. My question to you is what more can I do to get rid of the "beer gut"? Also, I wanted to get your thoughts on any vitamins, supplements, or pills found at like a GNC or something that would help me get rid of it. Please email me back at your earliest convenience. Thanks JImi, and also, Happy Belated Birthday!

Phil


Hey Phil,


Thank you for your birthday wishes.

I truly wish that I had exercises or movements that would get rid of the 'beer gut'. The truth is, results are going to be seen ONLY when your nutrition is in check. First Nutritional concern is that you are creating a caloric deficit. Unless your calories in are LESS than calories out, you won't lose fat in the midsection. Have you kept tabs on calories? If not, journal what you consume for one week and count the calories, and send me your results. Once we create a caloric deficit, we have to look at the quality of those calories, making sure that you are consuming more unprocessed, whole foods. We can get deeper into the process once we know your caloric intake.
