SnoopyChi asked:


I have a large middle section and want to trim down my stomach and down my abs.

What diet and workout routine should I adopt in order to accomplish this goal?

I end up eating out a lot because it’s more convenient but I’m certainly willing to change this in order to lose weight I just don’t know what some good meals or types of foods to eat would be.

Also how long should I work out and how often and what should my work out involve?
I’m a female and weigh 127 and I’m 5′6, so overall I’m not overweight it’s just that I have a lot of fat in that one area.

My brother suggested that in addition to the supplements I am taking to strenthen my workout (NO, Protein, Magnesium, etc…) that I should take a general Multi-Vitamin to help with the things that are missing from my diet. Which would you suggest?

Homecoming is on Oct. 4th and I want to lose a little bit of weight from my stomach and thighs. I am going to the gym but my diet isn’t very good. I am 5′1 so 114lbs is a little heavy and i should be closer to 105-110. Help?
I forgot to put that I have low stamina (genetic and will not change) so anything distance is not good for me.

Bec asked:


I’m 18-years-old and I feel that I have a bit excess wieght. I’m 5′8″ and about 160lbs. I want to feel healthier and better about my body, so I was wondering if anyone knows of some good excercise specifically for the belly and lovehandles, as well as other good, healthy excercies. I was also wondering if a vegan/ no sugar diet would be wise? So if anyone has any idea’s that would be amazing. Thanks.

zechsoo7 asked:


and weigh about 195.
I do cardio every day for 1.5-2 hours (either on the elliptical or running) and I lift weights about 3 times a week (giving myself at least a days rest in between each weight training session). I don’t switch up exercises very often.
I try to eat a truckload of protein every day and not so much of anything else, although I will sometimes eat pasta. Other than that I pretty much subsist on lean cuisines, subway, taco bell, and protein shakes. Again I try to get a lot of protein, eat a lot of chicken, and only get carbs from rice, pasta, and sandwich bread.
I have a tendency to eat a lot of food at night, after I work out right before I go to bed. My sleep cycle is extremely messed up, I tend to go to bed around 3-4 am and get up at 1 pm. I smoke and sometimes drink excessively (and when I drink I tend to eat a lot of junk). I’ve heard some of these practices are pretty counter-productive, but how bad are they really?
Any serious advice will be appreciated.
