Can't get rid of the belly fat

**jsljsl** · 01-08-2005, 04:13 PM

I work out - all the time. I do the Bowflex three times a week. Nordic track every day 5 miles. Eat nothing but chicken. Not bread, pastas, sweets. I am strong like bull. The only place I have body fat is in my belly. Everything else is extremely muscle. I have not lost any weight or gained any. I am on my 76th Bowfled workout. WHY IS THE BELLY STILL THERE?

Post your diet and maybe we can help

Don't worry, it will go away eventually, at least I hope.

I read that it is like the last fat to go for men.

I eat chicken three to four times a day. Drink water. Low carb tortillas. Hot sauce. Green beans every now and then. Salad. Almonds. Green tea. Eggs, steak, hamburger. No carbs. No sodas. No sweets.

There is your problem right there.
If you do not consume carbs for energy, your body thinks it is starving and will be very reluctant to let go of the last little bit of fat it has. It will spare it at all costs ie It will use muscle in preference.

ive said it before and ill say it again, CLA. Conjugated Lineolic Acid. This stuff has done absolute wonders for my stomach. My stomach use to be really big and stick out even though i was really skinny. I started taking this 3x a day and it has worked wonders. My stomach is nice and flat now. Just like i wanted.

**Andrew69** · 01-09-2005, 05:27 PM

Matt,
Did you use Tonaliin CLA?
Thanks

**Philthekeg** · 01-09-2005, 05:34 PM

just go to yahoo.com and search for Conjugated Lineolic Acid and you will get lots of info

CLA has been shown in animal studies to reduce bf and increase LBM. The problem is that in human trials, no significant effects have been noted.
The joke amongst the scientific community is that CLA is a great fat loss supplement - for rats!
Of late, many scientics have begun to speculate that CLA actually works by helping increasing the LBM and this is what causes the drop in bf. They also theorize that the reason results that were seen in the animal studies have not been seen in human studies is due to the significantly faster metabolisms of the rats compared to humans (so they pack on the LBM at a faster rate than humans, hence the accelerated results).
I dont know of any long term studies of CLA, but this may well be what it takes for humans to see any benefit - long term use.

There is a ton of fat in ground beef. If you get the chance grill a bubba burger on a Foreman grill and you will understand. Losing weight is not about eating carbs its about the number of calories you take in. You can eat healthy and still reach a plateau and to get past it you have to change things up. Try eating more whole grain carbs with fiber and cut out the saturated fat ie. beef and egg yolks.

So is Conjugated Lineolic Acid bad for us then?

No, not at all.
Its just that it appears to be one of those supps that works better for some people than others.
Look, I really cant comment on its actual effectiveness because I havent used it!
MattM seems to be very happy with it, so it may well be worth a try.

**Johnbe** · 01-10-2005, 02:18 PM

Just cut the calories back and give yourself time. I would suggest that you don't drink at all, if you do, and make sure that you eat plenty of FIBER, something that you seem to be lacking. Also, cut back on your sodium intake and increase your time on the bow flex, especially if your only doing the 20 minute a day thing. Plus, you really do need carbs in your body. Carbs like brown rice, oatmeal, apples and oranges should be eaten at least 4 times a day in fist size portions. Lastly, switch up your cardio a bit, just don't do the same thing over and over or your body will hit the ceiling and you�ll only have to work that much harder. As for the supplements.... I haven't used a single one that I've found to be effective (except multivitamins). So don't put too much hope on the magic pills. Good luck to you!

agreed that it's always best to experiment with what works best for your body...

CLA is also found in meat and dairy,

i'm thinking this is maybe why research links weight loss to the consumption of dairy products?

**jahthc** · 07-20-2014, 01:29 PM

I have no clue about Cla but i know one thing... its all in your diet. Your body needs its sufficient amount of nutrients, carbs, calories, ect to actually work together to burn fat.

**brandonbourgoin** · 07-20-2014, 01:44 PM

Yes you can. Get your diet in check. Bust ass in the gym. Sleep well, stay consistent and progress. Simple.

**nvliftin2** · 07-20-2014, 03:05 PM

Calories in v calories out is what it comes down to. I suggest having a look at the nutrition section and working out your maintenence and go into a 300 cal deficit. Counting calories is the easiest way to help maintain a steady rate of fat loss.

You guys are answering a nine year old thread that was just necro-bumped by Jahthc (who was banned just a few minutes after that.)
