Combat Conditioning Tuesday/Thursday 5-6, Saturday 10:30-11:30, paleo diet and consistency in your Jiu Jitsu practice and live rolling.
I've lost a ton of weight in the last 8 months. Changing my diet and eating healthy at work is a big one. You spend most of your time at work so try and eat healthy. Too many people eat garbage at work. I try to get a solid 3 days at the gym in and check my weight frequently to help me catch myself if I'm slipping. I still have a belly but I think I've lost some of it too.
High intensity cardio. I lost 40 pounds in 5 months, went from 41 inch waist to 30 inch just by doing burpees every morning. Started off w/ 3 sets of 5 w/ 1 minutes rest in between. Added 1 rep per set every week. I was doing 3 sets of 30 after 5 months and it still took less than 10 minutes per day.
The problem with "diets" are going on and off of them especially for those with weight issues. Consistency is the key to sucsess with diet/eating habits, its a lifestyle.Quote:

Thanks everyone for the advice. Just doing jj 2times a week and eating relatively clean I've dropped 10 lbs in January. I'm gonna include some of the advice in here because I wanna lose it just a bit quicker.
Coach, I know about our CC program. Unfortunately my work schedule doesn't permit it. But I took your advice (eat things that breathe). Been working on it.
Yeah. I've reduced it to Saturday's only, but I gotta do better than that.Quote:

If you can't give up alcohol completely, drink as little as possible. Wanna get drunk still? Mix liquor with things that have carbonation. As in a shot of whiskey with a light beer, or a stiff gin and tonic.
Paleo diet is good, but you don't have to become a fanatic. The basic idea of loading up on protein above all else is what you need. Stay away from carbs all together, like 50g a day maximum (which amounts to a large bagel).
There is no 'targeting the belly fat', there is no evidence your body drops weight in the specific areas you worked out. It just takes patience and dedication. You need to drop your overall body fat percentage. "normal" is around 15%, six pac starts showing up around 11%, to get the olympian/MMA body it's more like 7%.
so basically...
-start calorie counting everything! plan your meals out. Avoid sugars and starches. Eat lean meat and green veggies.
-workout literally every day. Focus on full body movements, compound movements, and fast high reps.
-sleep well
once you are at your goal, you can cut down the insane workout regiment, but you still need to watch what you eat.
