I’ve struggled with my weight for years, ever since I gave up regular competitive football.  The sudden reduction in exercise and effects of growing older saw my waist grow from thirty inches to thirty six inches in less than a year.I really became a fat man overnight.  That was ten years ago, and ever since my weight has fluctuated up and down as I’ve gone through fanatical fitness phases and then back to incredibly lazy periods, it’s easy to get drawn in to the latter as time goes by!

I have over the years perfected my own program for getting back into shape quickly, I literally lose most of my excess fat and build muscle in only a few weeks.  So how do I go about losing my belly fat?

The first thing that has to change is my diet.  I absolutely love junk food and take-aways. Just like most people, I simply love the things that are bad for me; beer and fries to name jjust a couple.  Once I am on a quest for a flat stomach these are all removed from my diet immediately.  I replace them with balanced meals of natural products, and try to avoid as much processed food as possible.  The important thing to note is that I don’t starve myself in order to lose weight, and I don’t really diet.  I just focus on eating the right things in moderation, being careful to ensure that my daily calorie intake is less than the number of calories I burn each day.  Lots of fruit, vegetables, fish and lean meats.

I also introduce exercise in to my weekly routine.  Two to three cardio work outs each week, mainly running.  I find running burns more calories than most other exercises, you can keep your fancy exercise machines, stick to basics.The last element of my program is weight training, I do just one session per week!I work all my large muscle groups using heavy weights and low repetitions to stimulate as much muscle growth as possible (abs included).  I then allow the muscles a full week to recover and grow stronger, something most amateurs fail to do.
