Fatty needs Help!

[ono]

Ok, hopefully the title got your attention

My problem: I currently stand at 6"2 and 14 stone (196 pounds) at 25 years old. However the weight seems to be all around my gut/love handles/man boobs etc.

Im not really a fatty or anything but I think too much booze and food are the problem. The booze will be getting cut drastically, Im thinking of going to Vodaka and Diet Coke when I drink ( only 1 calorie per glass apparently).

What Im aiming for ideally is 12.5 stone (175 pounds). Ive always been a kinda lanky guy so I dont really have big arms or anything so things like push ups are a knightmare for me

Just hoping that someone has some advice/ exercise plan I could follow and see how it works out. I dont want to be massive or anything, just tone up and drop the gut etc.

I have access to a gym after work and theres a football pitch down the road I could use for running and stuff.

Any ideas welcome guys, cheers!

Low carb high protein is superb for fat around the gut and boobs.

8wks and you will drop around 25lbs at your weight, if you have no more than 50g of Carbs daily.

Well that's what fitness magazines/websites lead you to believe.....

It's not really the case.

If he has a very hard job (manual labour) it would be a very bad idea for him to only consume 50g of carbs per day.

Most of the weight he will lose will be muscle glycogen (and water) and not fat.

Tonbhoy - Sounds like your day to day job is very physcial so dont deprive yourself of the food you want cuz it increases the danger of you wanting to binge occasionally.

I used to be the same, exercise and wonder why I wasnt looking like Evander Holyfield. My personal experience is that its not 50-50 excercise and eating healthily. Its more 70-30 in favour of getting your diet under control cuz ultimatley that feeds your body . As soon as I got into the routine of eating good food you wont miss the fatty stuff. At teh stage you are at now avoiding your favourite foods are gonna be tough so do it gradually and dont punish yourself by depriving yourself of foods . Just dont over do it and you know what over doing it is .

You'll see teh difference in your abs when youve stuck to it for two weeks and that will give you the motivation to keep going.. Get as much wholegrain down you as possible, smoothies, skinless chicken, turkey breast, spinach , watercress, rocket salad , nothing fried and try to incorporate green tea into your day as often as possible. It will purify your body and help with weight loss. Hope it all goes well and as someone else said , depends how bad you want it !
