Best Way To Lose Stomach Fat

[FLEXJr]

Besides jogging, does anyone know of an efficient way to keep the stomach fat to a minimum?

Thanks.

Do some HIIT. Ab workouts will help make your abs bigger thus causing them to show more.. if that's what you're after.

....obviously, jackass. Some of us like to build muscle though.

Then do low intensity cardio as to target fat. Do between 20-30 minutes, any more and you are going to be burning muscle. If you can take some BCAA's before you do if you were just working out so you don't burn muscle.

You don't spot lose. It's gotta be lost all over if you want it off that stomach.

I'm the jackass, yet you're the one that thinks you can spot reduce fat on your stomach?

Not necesaszarily true. The hormone cortisol causes the accumlation of bodyfat in the abdominal area. Controlling cortisol can spot reduce fat in the stomach and glut area. This is why alot of people dont seem fat all over yet have guts and big asses, because alot of people have to much stress and thus to much cortisol.

You can eat properly all you want, but when you are eating more calories than you burn everyday in order to put on muscle you are bound to get some fat on your stomach.

well how do you control your cortisol level?

Err...you don't. It's a circadian hormone which rises in the morning and falls when you're about to sleep. Unless you have hormonal disorders, you don't control it (well you can take cortisol under the counter if you want, but if it is not controlled properly, you're going to be screwed)

moral of the story = don't mess with the hormonez

why do people think u 'burn' muscle?

u only really start to lose muscle thru starvation + not stimulating the muscle (training)

do a mixture of HIIT and low intensity

No.

Your going to lose muscle and strength if you go below your calorie maintenance. The amount of muscle lost will vary on how long you diet for and the lower your calorie intake is.
Your not going to lose weight if you eat to many calories but if you don't eat enough, your muscles will turn catabolic.

This is where no-carb diets come into play. Read up on those.

Read what i put.

i said doing HIIT wont 'burn' muscle...

ofc being on a diet lacking carbohydrates will result in u becoming weaker... doesnt mean muscle mass is lost. less carbs simply means glycogen storage isnt as readily available because ur intake of it is less

u might ask where my knowledge of this situation comes from?

i had this exact argument with my sport science tutor - i thought muscle was 'burnt' too ! but it isnt. it only happens in starvation periods. as long as u recover properly from doing both HIIT and low intensity ul be fine

all these myths come from people like urself.

do u think when u FIRST start off u gain LOADS of muscle resulting in strength gains? theres alot more than just muscle hypertrophy occuring

within the first 6-8 weeks the neuromuscular system is trained predominantly - this why is strength goes thru the roof !
