I'm fat but ...

[LoveIsGood]

Hi

For 2 months i tried to do my own diet , which is : eat what i want but in small portions and i lost around 20 pounds

and i'm now 87 kg = 191 pounds .

But , i look like i'm over 220 pounds , and many people said that to me .

my weight isn't like how i look , i have 43 inchs waist size !

I don't understand anything , what's the problem ?!

The problem is that you're fat. Everyone distributes their fat differently, and if you also have no lean muscle to go with it, then a proportionally greater amount of your body is fat, making you look even worse. The stickies will help you get on the right track. The info is laid on in plain terms. Your problem is not unique, just follow the advice that countless other people have, and you'll get results.

A 43 inch waist at 190lbs and 5'11" is an unfortunate weight distribution.

The good news is there is something you can do about it.
As you continue to drop fat, you'll eventually lose the inches.

Keep at it!

Thanks for the answers .


So , should i build some muscles ?

No, you should cut, and do so properly. That means knowing your TDEE, eating at a deficit, hitting your macros, and lifting heavy. If any of that doesn't make sense to you, read the stickies and they will answer all of your questions.

Gotta confirm something though: OP, you pregnant?
If not then the problem is you're fat. (You're probably fat even if you're pregnant though)

Solution: lose fat.

Sounds like you've got the 'typical' male fat storing genetics i.e all in the gut. The tradies at my work are all lean as fuk but they've got these huge pregnant guts, one guy can even stand up straight and rest his cup of tea and sandwich on his gut while running the press lol

Keep cutting and be thankful you aren't like me and a lot of other guys where we inherited the 'female' fat storing genes i.e all in the hips and ass.

Keep up the weight loss and literally hammer your Abs and Core with exercise OP.

Lots of Cardio.. Lots of Sit-Ups and Ab training!

Good Luck m8

Huh? Sit ups?

Just keep losing weight. There's no spot reducing, there's not "blasting away the abs with 5 minutes a day." There's eating more or eating less than maintenance. Eat less, and you'll lose weight. And lift weights. Otherwise you're going to end up with Sid the Sloth's body from Ice Age.

Stop eating **** and cardio 4h per day

Yeah decline sit-ups to tighten up OP's problematic mid section by building some muscle? Am I wrong again :3

It's all in the book..
