Gut

[Artguy]

So I've been going to the gym, (YMCA), trying to get rid of my middle aged gut...

[Doreen Peri]

Good for you! Keep it up! ....

I was swimming quite often but still couldn't get rid of mine..... Then I got sick and then I got depressed and stopped eating almost entirely and lost 15 pounds or something like that... maybe more.

I highly recommend the gym and eating fresh fruits, grains, and vegetables and only small portions of food (very little meat) throughout the day rather than 3 large meals. Protein is good... before and after workouts. Eat nuts!

Don't lose weight like I did. Very unhealthy to stop eating.

Wishing you health and strength! The gym makes me HIGH... I LOVE it!

tons of fruit and vegetables - huge salads - only a touch of olive oil - tehina in small amounts
chick peas, red beans - all legumes are great sources of protein

exercise is wonderful for increasing overall energy

(avoid white sugar, flour, processed foods)

ahh... middle age gut...! we call it here "salvavidas" or "choperita" (according with their form..! ). Physical exercise sounds good for that, good luck artguy!!!! .

and in reference to diets, I like Monica Katz view on them. See:

btw Kurt... we all seem to get that mid-age ponch with age. mine got a bit too heavy over the holidays and cold weather when i did very little walking. walking is a damn good way to aid the body in weight control (if you use discipline with eating habits! )
