Is there any fat burning foods? Or some foods that will kick up my metabolism? Because it seems like I can't get rid of these man handles. Maybe it's excess skin? I highly doubt it.

green tea helps, and if u work hard enough theyll dissappear

[G4paintballer]

Like green tea I can get at the store or actual green tea stuff?

And today is my 5 month thing for getting in shape and I've pretty much plateaued at 176-177. But the man handles are just taking forever to get rid of.

You know burns calories? wailing on your siblings.

Just rare back, and go straight HAM on 'em!



In all seriousness, you need to switch up you diet. Many times people are WAY high on carbs/sugar, low on vegetables, low on fiber, low on protein, and low on healthy fats

Focus on quality proteins, vegetables, high quality fats (avocado, unprocessed bacon, fish oils, etc), fibrous foods like sweet potatoes, almonds, etc

Protein, vegetables, fiber, water

Those are the best metabolism foods. Breads, rice, sugars, are dogshit foods, don't need them.

Then cardio stuff is about all that will really do anything exercise related?

[TechPB-Mike]

ok, the difference between cardio and lifting weights for fat loss

Lifting weights increases muscle mass, muslce mass burns additional calories when you are in a sedative (resting) state.

You without muscle may burn 2000 calories a day resting. You with muscle (quite a bit of it) may burn 2200 calories per day resting.

Cardio, instantly burns calories, but doesn't give you the additional benefit of putting on muscle, which burns additional calories

So burning 500 calories doing cardio, and burning 500 calories lifting weights does the same thing today. But tomorrow, the lifting weights will still tax your body for additional calories, where cardio will not


If you can do both, do both. The trick to getting rid of fat, is to start moving, do something, anything. The more you clean you your diet, and the more you move, the faster your body begins to burn fat.


Don't ever underestimate the horrific effects that bad diet will have on your results. That little bite there, little nibble there, little snack here, shit adds up FAST. You can consume more calories in 60 seconds eating, than you can burn in 60 minutes doing exercise.

A Snickers bar has 280'ish calories. Get on a rower, and see how hard it is to burn 280 calories.

I do a mixture of weightlifting and cardio so I'm not too worried about that. But it's nice to know it's better to have a mixture of weightlifting and cardio than just one.

Biking is by far the most effective cardio exercise burning 1000 calories riding is relatively easy.

Natural fat burning foods are always better for the fat burning.
Some effective foods for the fat burning are:
Raw green vegetables specially broccoli, cabbage, cucumber, spinach, and radish.
Citrus fruits,
Green tea,
fish and fish oil,
and olive oil.
