Abdominal training is a must…Although everyone has a six pack underneath, abdominal training will make it tighter and give you a stronger midsection
I dont remember who said not to eat after 7pm, but that isn’t neccessarily true…You really need to watch your carbs in the evening since most people tend to be inactive during the evening and dont burn off the carb calories, which in turn are stored as fat
eat 5-6 small meals a day…low fat, low carbs, good lean protein
and like everyone said, lots of aerobics…Jumping Rope, Swimming, Running, and your Kung fu are the best
Eating less in your meals as the day progresses is called “front/forward loading” – eating a large, balanced breakfast and eating smaller lunch (or lunches) with a small dinner. The principle behind is that when you sleep, you burn calories, but you don’t fully digest your food. Almost everything you eat right before you sleep either is stored in fat or goes straight to waste. This is why sumo wrestlers eat alot prior to napping.
So reducing your meal size (or not eating after 7pm or whatever) = using more of your energy stores in your 8 hours of so of sleep = waking up ravenous in the morning = helps lose weight in the long run. Mind as well capitalize on that sleep right?
Weightlifting builds muscle mass = higher basal metabolism = you use more energy sitting around in order to keep the muscle cells happy. Weightlifting done properly also has cardiac benefits if you do similar to interval training and don’t let your heart rate down.
