Edit: I don’t drink alcohol, it’s just the best way to describe it. From comments I’ll be going on a low carb diet, thank you all.

Explanation: male, 38, 130 pounds. Skinny, low muscle mass but have a beer keg belly.

My day is 7am wake up. Get kids to school. Work until 5. Get kids from school. Cook, shower and then I’m exhausted AF.

I’m semi fit? I’m a mechanic professionally and spring til summer I mountain bike regularly. So my calves are monsters.

But would like… basic at home sit ups. Push ups etc like on a Saturday, would that help at all?

    No. I’m currently in the process of losing my beer belly.
    It’s going really well, here’s what I do:

    • only drink water, nothing with alcohol, calories or sweeteners
    • no snacks or sweets
    • whey shake for breakfast, small lunch (sandwich) and a normal-sized supper.
    • walk 30 miles per week, generally stay physically active, commute by bicycle.

    The good thing is that it works without counting calories or weighing myself.
    The bad thing is that I’m hungry half the day, but I figure that’s my body burning fat, so I even kinda enjoy it.
    I expect my belly to be gone by midsummer. A few situps won’t change much, there’s a FUCKTON of calories stored in a beer belly.
    It’s a big ole barrel full of fuel and you need to burn it all, even though your body doesn’t want to.
