how to lose your spare tire ?

kpolov Posts: 8 Joined: 2004/02/25	2004/04/16, 10:43 AM How do I get rid of that extra tire sitting on my hips?? It's the roll that hangs out of the top of my jeans. Is there any exercise specific to target that area?? I know you can spot lose but maybe some exercise will help me. I do kickboxing and step class but it doesn't seem to get that area. thanks

On low carb days, 1st 3 meals of the day, I have protein with a starchy carb source, the last 3 meals of the day, protein with fibrous carbs. On carb loading days, I have 5 starchy carbs with my protein, to replenish the glycogen levels in the muscles so the body doesn't go into starvation mode. For Breakfast, Oatmeal with 4-6 egg whites and 1 whole egg. Last meal of the day I would always have 1/2 cup cottage cheese mixed with 4 oz. of yoplait yogurt for flavor. Cottage Cheese is a slow releasing protein, so perfect for just before bedtime. I also have 1 tbsp of Udo's Choice on my low carb days, in the afternoon, for my essential fats (Omega 3 and 6). Also, I would only have a protein shake when I couldn't or didn't have time to make real food. Don't let trainers etc. fool you into believing you HAVE to take supplements. I took creatine, Whey Protein (when in a time crunch) and a multivitamin. I didn't take any fat burners etc. Although, it is beneficial to down a whey protein drink just after a workout. I lift on mon, wed, fri. Cardio on tue., thur, sat. I do the 6:00 am spin class at golds on tues, thur before eating. I have a free day (1 to 2 meals) every sunday...this is key I think. We go grab a pizza every sunday since the beginning. =) Bleh...sorry for the novel, I got carried away. =) Good Luck! -Tom
