Heehee, couldn't help but come in
I would like to have a million bucks and use part of it to get a personal trainer so I can make my own body less flabby.
I've caught a lot of tips lately that indicate it has less to do with cutting calories (that's what you don't want to do - muscle metabolizes before fat) and more to do with eating more smaller meals and particularly breakfast; they say at least for guys that the size of breakfast is inversely proportionate to waist size and stomach fat (300-500 calorie breakfasts seem to be the best bet); water's crucial too - something like 16 oz's when you first wake up. I'd never thought of it that way but it makes sense, you wake up from not eating or drinking for 8 hours and its no wonder that people's metabolisms are still in fasting mode.
Just check out what advice they have in that department for women; may be a few differences but I'd imagine its similar advice for the most part.
