Getting rid of the last bit of belly

[Andrew_Culture]

You can't get rid of that's last bit of belly until you have a body like a Greek God I'm afraid.
.

I already have the body of a Greek god - Bacchus.

Cut down on the fat in your food, Reduce the amount of calories you get from fat, and start eating more protein and carbs. Abs are made in the kitchen.

I naturally have a low fat, pulse/ green veg high diet. I tried to eat more fat over winter to stop myself getting nauseously hungry after my commute but just can't stand lardy foods.

I think 'pedal more' 'eat less' might be the answer.

Has anyone else found themselves in this situation in their late thirties and beaten it?

I'm in my mid 40's and have still not beaten it.
As you know I do a heck of a lot of cycling.
My problem? I like my food too much.

I'm starting to wonder if I ought to view cycling as food-retention damage limitation

Time is probably the answer. If you have lost a lot of weight in a short time your body is still adapting I would think. Although 'spot reducing' doesn't work it would do no harm to tone up your core and check your posture, Pilates is good for this.

Interesting you say that, I've been pondering pilates for a while.

I'm 51 and have the body of a greek adonis (he can have it back if he comes round for it),

except the belly which stubbornly sits there unmoving,

Well if we're bragging, I used to have the body of two greek adonises, both at once!

Even what I'm at my lightest (around the ave weight for an East African of my age and height according to that BBC BMI test) that lower belly stuff remains. I just live with it.

I think tighter lycra is the answer

not sure what the question is though

Hi,
This is an interesting one that I've experienced myself...
I'm mid 40's and although I've never ever ventured into a gym, I've always been pretty healthy - Don't drink, Don't smoke, play racquet sports (badminton & squash) and eat healthily. A few years ago I rekindled my love of cycling and on average I'll do 50 - 80 miles per week (mixture of on road and turbo). Weight - wise I've always been on the skinny side and I'm 6ft 2 tall and 78kg. If I stand and look in the mirror straight on, whilst I don't have a six pack I look pretty lean, but from the side, my stomach (diaphragm area, not lower stomach) seems to stick out a bit ;-)

Just do loads of sit ups

You've had it fatso. It's there as a constant reminder of your once slovenly ways. Suck it up and despair. Not only that but it'll expand exponentially if you ever so much look at a chocolate cake. Liposuction is the only way.












PS: If you do succeed, let me know the secret eh, there's a good chap.
