Title: Skinny fat dilemma
Post by: seifullaah73 on August 05, 2021, 03:52:47 pm
Lol who would've thought that I would be asking this type of question, skinniest guy throughout college and a hard gainer and after some working out I have seen my lower belly bloat out. I was stuck at 8.5 stones now I have gotten to 11 stones 72kg.

The belly doesn't stick out in front, it's the wide love handles and that rounds to the front rather than curving inwards.

I am currently doing a sprint workout, explosive power workout on Tuesday and Thursday and speed or plyos on Saturday.

I want something simple I can do everyday in the morning that doesn't take too much time.

I don't eat fast foods or much sugary or fatty foods, only home cooked. I limit myself on sugar foods.

My core is strong, ab rollouts and windshield wipers can do them 8 to 10 reps.

I can add an image but it's not a pleasant site.

I want to get rid of the love handles and have toned abs like sprinters have to remove any excess weight.

You just have to get leaner period, there is no magic routine for that area

So eat less than the amount that caused you to gain weight basically, or move more but that is not that efficient after a point as it makes you hungrier   ;D
Yes you will have to weigh and count your food if you want to be sure, or eat the same things everyday and slowly cut some stuff out.
The most calorie dense foods first

The lower ab area is usually the last place to drop off, so if you get veins showing there your pretty damn lean.

Yeah that's what I need, how do I do that.

Also the love handles is the bigger problem than lower belly fat.

Eat less or burn more calories, or a combo of the two. It usually takes a while, so eating less is more sustainable.

3500 less calories eaten each week than you burn = 1 pound of fat loss, or about 0.5kg
So 500 less each day or you can fast a few days and eat normal the rest of week. Or eat 1000 less on some days where you train more and eat at maintenance on other days.
Or whatever combination you like.

0.5kg a week is about a fair loss rate, where you can still get stronger and make gains.
You can go faster with a greater chance of muscle loss and tanking your metabolic rate if kept up for too long.

Fasting during Ramadan didn't really have much effect.
I guess I can do Monday and Thursday fasting.
Also eat less on Tuesday, which is work day and Saturday speed day and other day eat normal.

I was thinking also of shrink wrap around mid section including love handles a week replacement also or doesn't help as much. Also I saw a nice morning routine to do as well.

shrink wrap does nothing but make you sweaty. there is, as coolcolj said, no such thing as spot reduction. coolcolj's advice is good.

measure you waist once a week, at the same day and time, straight out of bed is good.
If it goes down 0.25 inch then your on track to losing 0.5kg of fat a week - tends to hold true for most people
I lose 0.5 inch off my waist when I drop 1kg of fat in a week.

If you eat too much on your normal days then you won't lose anything.
It's all about the final balance at the end of the week, over time

In any case, 0.5kg of fat lost a week is very noticeable in the mirror.
And your skin will feel tighter week to week, especially around the wrist/forearm and chin/jaw.

Phase underway.

Start waist across love handles and belly was 90.5cm, around 35.6 inches.

Workout which they suggested do couple weeks I might do every morning. It's a 10 min workout but calves burning and while mid section is hot and a little sweaty. But with the fasting maybe not a good idea.

who is "they"? why would a ten minute workout not be a good idea while fasting? why is your midsection especially hot and a little sweaty?

Vid I'm following along with for 10 mind suggest couple times a week but I decided to try everyday.

It's a compressed 10 min workout with 1 min times on the workout which is intense. May dehydrate if I start with this at the start but will see how it goes.

I don't workout barebody, wear a shirt and a vest doing the high intensity mid section workout.

I never did a intensive compact in to 10 minutes workout during Ramadan so first time experiencing full dryness of mouth and lips and back of throat.

But overtime I will get used to it.

Also 1 min of jumping Jack's sets my calves on fire as fully on balls of feet.

Sweating looks promising lol

I think I may be skinny fat.

Also I get frustrated easily when people do things that annoy me but I bottle it up and get on withit as sometimes my frustrations are silly but I still feel it, which gets me stressed and maybe it leads to this state of love handles.

I've always rejected the idea of me being stressed but rather called it tired, frustrated, stress is not a good thing.

If waist is not going down, your still eating too much

Burning an extra 100 calories is quite a bit of work compared to just eating less

This doesn't make sense. I fasted for 2 days and other days I ate 3 times a day and less than normal.

Aim to sleep for 8 hours a day.

Will up the intensity of the workout to a 15 min workout every morning.

I workout 3 times a week on top of the morning workout.

I think it's a skinny fat issue, it's like I've got a large watermelon in my gut, that's the shape my body looks. Like the one shown in the YouTube video by Scott Herman fitmess why are you skinny fat

I feel I am not getting enough protein due to me not eating much

In your first week on a real calorie deficit your water weight should drop a lot, even if you don't loose a lot of fat.
I normally drop 1-2 kg just from eating less, and holding way less water in the body.

You can't fool thermodyamnics, if your eating less than you consume you will drop fat.
If you were gaining fat eating the way you were before, then you will need to eat way less than that to drop 0.5kg a week of fat.
Let's say your TDEE is 2500 calories, and you were eating 3000 before, you need to drop to 2500 to maintain, and then to 2000 to drop 1lb of fat a week.
So -1000 each day

I myself don't eat more than 120-130 grams of protein a day, which is not a lot and I weigh over 85kg and train quite a bit in a fasted state.
I think protein is overrated unless your on steroids.
You just need to eat enough to not go catabolic

You can't out burn your stomach. Unless you go for 6 hour hikes everyday :)
15 mins of exercise doesn't burn much in the scheme of things

Title: Re: Lose lower belly fat
Post by: seifullaah73 on August 17, 2021, 07:28:05 am
I was kinda getting stressed about not eating enough proteins, which is probably less than 100 and was thinking buying whey protein but now I can be releived I don't have to chase this.

15 min workout is just a love handle burning workout every day, my usual explosive workout is 2 hours long and speed workout around 1hr 30min.
Title: Re: Skinny fat dilemma
Post by: seifullaah73 on August 23, 2021, 09:51:21 am
I have been sweating a lot during my morning workouts and my usual explosive/speed workouts.

Fasted 2 days straight last week and maintained a 3 meals a day plan.

Waist measurement still the same.

May need to increase muscle mass, but not bodybuilder level, just some near the abdomen, get some time at the gym.

Post by: CoolColJ on August 24, 2021, 06:54:46 am
weigh and record everything you eat, only way to be sure your eating less than you consume
so forget fasting and eat at a decifit every day for a week.

You can use intermittent fasting so you can have a few large meals concentrated around a certain time of the day.
That is how I eat, 2 large meals at night after training.
No different to normal eating, but I prefer eating large meals, since the act of eating tends to cause you to be more hungry

On android there is an app that you input your weight every morning and calories consumed that day and it will give you your TDEE after a few weeks
eat 500 calories less than that and you will lose 0.5kg a week

Will do that. Will record everything I eat.
Eating is a weak point for me, I'm not really a big eater, I can eat big breakfast that can last me till dinner, fyi I have a late breakfast around 10 or 11am.

do you know the name of the app?

Also that is how fasting works for me during the day I don't eat anything since last night midnight until at evening have a small snack and eat a large meal at night.

Cool thanks.

Recording yesterday's calories using calorie counter app which is not effective in finding curries lol my calorie intake was 1206 and burned around 500 calories in exercise or more as I do custom exercise which is not in the app.
Title: Re: Skinny fat dilemma
Post by: seifullaah73 on August 26, 2021, 07:16:37 am
Yesterday my calorie intake was around 1800, which is mainly due to small breakfast.
so need to think of a way to eat big breakfast to fill me past lunch.

Also I was looking at body fat measurement and scales and easiest one to do is the pinch body fat. But I can't pinch any thing skin is too tight, which makes me think that it is the visceral fat and not the subcutaneous fat that I need to lose.
Title: Re: Skinny fat dilemma
Post by: CoolColJ on August 26, 2021, 12:10:47 pm
It's both you need to lose fat types, the internal type is pretty bad for health.
It will come off first, mostly all gone by the time you get to 10% bodyfat

When your waist doesn't stick out you know it's gone.

Until the fat you can pinch, skinfold wise is the same as your penis and back of your hand everywhere, you still have plenty of fat :)

So even if you had a lot of fat, it can still be hard to pinch some of it to measure? You need get a handful instead? lol.

Let me think of another way of doing this.
I think you said that:

If I burn more calories than I eat (estimation of the day I'm assuming, as you can't workout after dinner) it should burn the extra fat off. Won't that put my daily calorie intake in the negative.

If that is what we want, is there like a duration of exercise relation to amount of calories burned example skipping for 10 mins burns a certain amount, 20 mins a certain more amount, etc. Can this method not achieve that.

Then do some 6 pack workout to bring the definition of the abs and obliques and bring waist size down.

Exactly - you want to be in a negative calorie deficit to lose fat!!!!!!!
-500 calories each day = 1 pound of fat dropped. You need a negative 3500 total each week to drop 1lb of fat

It doesn't matter where the deficit comes from. Just living life, walking around and doing stuff does it as well as sprint intervals without killing your system


see how low this kid's skinfolds are, he walks around like that all year round as a teen....
Get to that level and you know your lean as hell, and your abs will show without even flexing  :ninja:
he got Hydrostatic Tested at  4.4% bodyfat

-3500 calories a day oops misread lol, -500 calories a day to lose 1lb a week.
so that's where I am going wrong, I don't go in the negative I'm always in the positive.

So even if i enjoy a little unhealthy breakfast, if I burn that off and still my calorie in the negative i'm toasty? nice.

makes sense. thanks :highfive:

yes, it doesn't matter what calories are at any time of the day or which day of the week as long as the final balance at the end of the week is negative.
The body isn't a machine so it's more about the trends over a period of time

thats where that Adaptive TDEE app helps out

Now the next dilemma is how do you burn so much calories required to go in the -500, if lets say in a day I average 1500 - 1800 calories.

Adding in my daily core workout in the morning, which may burn around 300.

How do you manage to burn enough calories to get in the negative. Exercise only burn a couple of calories a minute.

Any exercise that burns a lot of calories.

Shouldn't be hard to burn over 2000 calories living like a normal person that moves around unless you play video games all day long.
Just walk around and do more chores, work etc

Most people will burn at least 500 over their bare minimum calories burnt just by being alive, unless you sit on your ass all day long

I myself burn around 2800-3000 and I'm sleeping and sitting on my ass most of the day, the stretching, soft tissue and mobility work and 1-2 hours of exercise I do each day bumps me up from 1800 or so BMR to that number. If I play video games all day long I only burn 2000

Stretching, mobility work and soft tissue work is good stuff and burns a decent amount of calories that doesn't tax you and can only benefit you in the long run. Do an hour each day and your laucghing.
Then go walk for 30 mins or do more chores, easy 500 calories burnt.
Lots of things could burn 500 calories when done for 30-60mins, like BBall, sprint intervals etc, but sustaining it everyday is not likely.
And you could  end up with long term tendon issues like me from them....

If not just eat 500 calories less by cutting out luxuries

In any case getting lean isn't easy, if it was everyone would be ripped.
Just takes discipline for a period of time and make it part of your life style

OK cool thanks.
Some days I'm getting 1500 calories and some days around 1000.

My reason is just to lose fat to increase strength to weight ratio.

I do play video games some times but pray 5 times a day, core workout every morning. Speed and strength most probably going to start gym soon.

What's your daily stretching and routine look like.

Have stairs in my house, used a few times to navigate house lol

Post by: CoolColJ on August 30, 2021, 10:21:03 am
I do a lot of stuff everyday -

when I get up  - in the bathroom, 30+ mins worth of mobility work for upper and lower - a lot of stuff to loosen me up, that's hard to put into words

upper - shoulder circles, overhead arm extensions stuff, tuck neck/thoracic spine stretch, wrist and neck rotations etc. Then lean forward against wall with arms overhead to stretch lats
lower - standing leg kick/extensions, knee raises, leg curls, hip internal and external rotation foot taps, tiblias/calf raise ankle rocking combo for 30 reps, then push knee forwards ankle mobility move for 30 reps, then quarter squat for 20 reps into double knee rebend jump motion drill for 10 reps. 15 sumo deadlift reps, hands to floor


1 hour worth of soft tissue work before I train.... been working on the same spots as they are so painful, but are slowly becoming less painful. So they obviously need work

I do a 30 min warmup mobility work before I train - the usual leg and hip swings etc
Then post workout - the usual 1 min stretches that everyone does for every single bodypart - ie quad, hamstrings, foot arch, etc etc

measured my waist this morning and it went down an inch to 34.5 which I quite chuffed with. Shows wheel is turning slowly.

May have to go below 30 to see some definition and love handles should stick out less.

When I sit for a long time I try do knee raises holding arm rest from time to time to get some work in lol.

Diet breaks are recommended every 2-3 months, as the body eventually starts to down regulate the metabolic rate and you will get really hungry

personally I would stretch the hip flexors instead of tightening them with knee raises after a lot of sitting....
Do glute bridges instead

 :uhcomeon: I understand eating high carbs and fatty foods and high sugar content will increase fat.

But why stress and lack of sleep does that. They release glucose which is uh oh sugar into your body.

It's all about the hormonal response, but still, you can't make fat out of nothing.

Is there a way to program hormonal response to lack of  sleep and stress to stop adding fat via glucose or minimize it

keep insulin low, so don't eat fast carbs and sugars

So it's like a cycle cos main reasons for fat gain is eating carbs and sugar and stress and to avoid stress. To avoid stress having effect is avoid sugar and carbs which is already one of the reasons for gaining fat.
