First of all you eat...good food. Me for instance, I have a bannana, grapefruit, orange juice and two bowls of honey nut cherios for breakfast. Lunch consists of a grilled chicken sandwich, baked lays, and a gatorade and chocolate milk. For dinner its whatever mother makes up, which is normally something well balanced. My point is, eating feeds the body. If you dont eat and you plan on losing weight you wont. In fact you will gain weight because your body thinks its starving itself.
Now for excersising and such. I life weights, run, walk, etc etc. Alot of core exercises will help your abs and the "gut". Lifting weights will tone the fat all around the body, arms, legs, chest, back etc etc. If you want to tone go light weight heavy reps. like 12-15 per set with light to mediocre weight. Strength on the other hand is high weight, low to mid reps.
I have been following the previous two paragraphs for about 3-4 months. I have lost 40 lbs, so im down from 295 to 255. I like the way I am, I am heavy enough to do what I do (offensive lineman) and yet im not "fat" persay because 20% is my overall bodyfat content (yes its high but good for a lineman such as myself). Also the overall results you will see depends on your metabolism, you can eat alot and do nothing because of a high metabolism while at hte same time if you have a low metabolism you will gain weight. Hope some of this helps..its kinda lengthy :smile:
