Weight loss: Exercise versus diet.

I have noticed some confusion among newcomers trying to lose the manboobs and the beer gut.

Here's what worked for me. YMMV

WORKING OUT DOES NOT TRIM DOWN YOUR GUT.

Working out won't help with your floppy man-tits, either.

Working out is for improving the operation of your musculoskeletal system. It is not for losing weight.

Weight loss starts in the kitchen. <--- THIS!

Cut the bread down to 4 slices of extreme whole grain (the crunchy seedy kind) per day. One PBJ sandwich for breakfast, one after the gym.

GO for meat, eggs, small amounts of dairy (cheese, milk, etc.) and all the vegetables you want.

Pasta no longer exists in your world. Soda, no longer really a thing.

When you look at a bowl of pasta, think "there sits a bowl of floppy manboob noodles".

Soda is to be referred to as "loser juice" (because it is).

Potatoes are not vegetables. Potatoes are the things that make you look like a potato.

McDonalds is now known as "cracky D" because only a crackhead would eat that shit. Same for Wendy's, etc.

Fast food joints work if you're slumming and want a chicken salad. They are best avoided altogether.

When your beta friend makes fun of you for not eating the super-fatgut-cheesy-greasy with big-fat-ass-fries meal deal, stick to your guns and eat your greens and high-protein meats.

Then wink at his wife.

EDIT:

Want to add a blanket statement on beer... beer is for one day per week, in moderation. I like to hang out at the bar on weekends with my bros and my hoes and a good stout rocks my socks. Just remember, moderation. Best is to give it up entirely and shoot liquor, chased with iced water.

AND ALSO:

This is a general guide to what worked for me. YMMV, caveat emptor, full refund, etc.

When reading below, remember that this is not weight-lifter-marathon-runner advice. This is advice for people who want to start undoing the damage that years of Xbox and WOW have done to their bodies and minds.

It is K.I.S.S. simple, for the good reason that calculating macros and counting calories are a pain in the ass. If you really want to get into bro-science, go for it. Starting out, not so much.

Follow the simple steps above and your manboobs and fat womanly-looking gut will start to melt away.

If you do decide to heed any advice from the comments below (and seriously, there is some good advice down there) make sure it isn't tinged with hate. TRP is overrun with "armchair alphas" these days who try to AMOG people on the interwebs. Dont be a hater, player.

Best of luck, brothers.
