Can you lose a gut in 2 months??

[onthereal]

You can lose weight simply but cutting calories. Whether it's one meal a day or eight meals a day. Calorie restriction works 100% of the time.

True and I never got into those so I'm out of my depth but I can imagine that flavor profile is addicting.

Its not even necessarily the flavor or the caffeine, quitting sugar for some people can be just as bad or worse than quitting caffeine.

For people who get their caffeine fix from coke a cola or these wild ass Starbucks flavors it's not even the caffeine that's causing fatigue and headaches it's the sugar intake reduction .

stop making your shyt as sweet....simple.

cream isn't too much of an issue minus the heavy cals, so it depends on what diet principle you're going with. lots of low carb diets would encourage cream or coconut oil since the fat keeps you full.

if you're worried about calories, lots of non dairy milk creamers out there with low cals - 15-30 cals per tbsp (califa and milkadamia are my faves, trader joes also has a good coconut milk creamer) and less than 3g sugar per serving.

if you must have it sweet, use splenda (not an advocate of fake sweeteners, but used in moderation - which is easy since it's much sweeter than sugar - it could be a good bridge for you since it doesn't spike insulin) or erythritol (or any other sugar alcohol that isn't maltitol)


snacking is a another subjective thing - yes, potato chips aren't the healthiest, but the bigger issue is most people get the $1.50 bag and eat the whole thing as a snack...that's usually 3-4 servings, learn the serving size and use it and you can usually keep snacks as part of your diet. i say usually, because a donut is a snack also, but that's easily 200-500 cals per donut, you can't waste cals on high calorie junk like that. but healthy snacks:

- baked chips, veggie chips, pop chips, damn sticky rice chips, crispy garbanzo beans
- healthy dips like yogurt sauces, guac, hummus - use the serving size which is usually 2 tbsp - 1/4c
- nuts
- use veggies for dipping - cucumber, celery, carrots, jicama
- roll up some lunch meat in lettuce with some green onion, tomato and a laughing cow wedge or some low fat string cheese
- tuna salad, egg salad
- jerky (watch the serving size/sodium)
- berries (especially paired with fat free or low fat yogurt and a high fiber cereal like all bran)

THANKS Honestly I just cut that shyt out. cold turkey. First couple of days were rough.. headaches dragging but I am good now. drinking tea and focusing on a healthy eating.. seeing some early results

drinking tea and focusing on a healthy eating

Be careful with the tea. It has caffeine in it. Eventually you'll want be drinking water. Not juice, not lemonade, not sparkling water, not crystal light, not Gatorade, not POWERade, water. Straight water.

If you hate to cook. Then stop cooking. Go to Walmart and cop bags of spinach

Then go to the frozen section and but some precooked chicken

And some cans of tuna and cans of salmon.

Eat the spinach with the protein, force lunch and dinner. A bowl of oatmeal in the morning, drink water and in 3 weeks that gut will be smaller, whether you hit the gym or not.

Yep. I have that shyt 5 days a week for breakfast with half an apple, 2 packets but one is Thinkthin protein oatmeal and the other packet is quaker. Low calorie protein breakfast.

About to do my Googles on that shyt right now, I never liked Cream of Wheat but is it better than Malt-o-Meal?

I don’t know. Never had malt-o-meal or at least don’t remember having it. All i know is don’t try to make farina on your own if you never had it before

@G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman is there added sugar and stuff in instant oatmeal?

I don't buy the packet stuff I get the quaker tubes.

I have one full cup of dry oats, a shake of salt, mix it with 1 cup of water/lactaid/or unsweetened almond milk, then add some raisins, cranberries and blueberries. I'm usually satiated off that for 4-5 hours. No desire to snack and j don't get hungry, yet when it's time to eat again starving again. I always have it 2 hours before my long bike rides. Otherwise when I I workout in the morning sometimes I'll have it pre-workout or post workout.
