Men are so worried about losing their hair when they should really be
focusing on losing their big stomachs. The thing that women look at right
away is a man's midsection. Having a big belly can make the most
attractive man look unattractive and make him appear much older than he
really is.
I hear men say all the time they can hide their big bellies with a jacket or baggy shirt. No way, women can see right through those clothes and believe me we do not find a gut an attractive thing. Men are supposed to be strong, masculine and confident. Having extra weight around the waist detracts from each of these masculine qualities.
Losing the extra weight is easy but you have to really change some things in your life in order to see a major change.
For starters, a man seeking to lose his belly must drastically cut back on carbohydrates and, instead, increase protein intake. Eliminate or radically reduce bread, pasta, rice in the diet. Start eating more fish, turkey, tuna and chicken. Add more fruit and vegetables to your diet as well. Fill up on salads and vegetables. Drink plenty of water.
If you are not a member already, join a gym. Working out is 500 percent easier surrounded by the encouragement and example of others. If you are a novice in the gym, hire a trainer to help getting started. You can work out at home but it is much more difficult to stay focused there.
Of course, the most important thing is to perform consistent aerobic exercises 3 or 4 times a week to help speed up your metabolism to lose the weight (your belly) more rapidly. Once you are training regularly, you still need to watch what you eat. Some people think that once they are exercising they can eat whatever they want. This is absolutely not true. Continue to keep your carb intake low, especially in the beginning of your new workout regime.
Working your abs at least four times a week is also key in having flat and strong abdominals. Work your abs slowly and contract the muscles as you breathe out and complete each repetition. After you see your weight dropping and your ab strength increasing, you will want to add weight to your ab routine. Without using weights you will have a difficult time getting those six pac abs that you are working towards.
Make sure you include crunches and leg raises in your ab routines. You will want to do three to four sets per exercise and fifteen to twenty reps per set.
Finally, be more active in general and walk more whenever you can.
