Spot reduction of fat is showing very slightly in the literature, but to a tiny degree.

Super simplified... keep protein at at least .8 grams per pound of body weight each day, reduce carbs and/or fat to a level that keeps you sane, continue to lift heavy with most work being done in the 12-6 repetition range

Basically, you diet and it comes off wherever it comes off, based on your genetics. For men, typically lower back and love handles are last to go... aside from getting shredded upper thighs and glutes... which is next level

Thanks for the advice Nick (you and everyone else). I can't imagine trying to google tips on weight loss -- too much flim flam out there. Y'all are far more trustworthy. :)

What is it with you people getting married on game day? Bunch of posers.
I got married in May. My best friend got married in October. I was the best man at the wedding. He's got a good wife because it was at her church and she made sure that it was scheduled for the open date week that year.

Wait, but 3 is better than 28, right?
 
I am not Nick, but I would up your protein intake and cut carbs down to at least 50g a day.

And then target that area with weights. So weighted crunches and Russian twists.

If they give a stat for most 1st downs given I'm sure 28 would have given up close-to most in the country. So...
 
This is a recruiting forum?
Amongst friends, conversations often drift. The diet talk began from an on topic post regarding the team’s strength training through the season, and a couple of off topic fitness related questions were thrown my way. Harrowing times, but we managed through those 10 or so posts
 
I've been lifting regularly for about 8 months or so now. Missing 4-5 days in a row and then noticing slight strength losses is the most disheartening stuff ever. But it does make me never want to miss a workout.
That shouldn’t happen. Deloads can be beneficial. I think that is a mental thing for people JMO IMO.
 
I lost 37 pounds in about 4 months this year with intermittent fasting. I have 2 alarms on my phone - one at 8pm to stop eating (you can still drink water) and one at noon that noon that tells me time for lunch. In essence, eating for 8 hours and fasting for 16 hours. It completely changed my body type and cut tons of visceral fat (my biggest problem). Studies say that fasting is actually really good for you in lots of other ways. I didn't change what I ate during my eating time for the first month or two and the pounds still came off. Starting with the third month, I started taking out some of the carbs (definitely not all). It is super easy and after the first 2-3 weeks, breakfast cravings go away.
That’s a crazy weight loss. I’ve done it for about 3 months and lost 10 pounds. Admittedly, I haven’t added any exercise and I haven’t really changed my diet. It’s affected when I eat - not what I eat. I should focus more on eating better.

It’s a pretty easy way of cutting a little weight without giving anything up. If I’m craving breakfast foods I’ll just eat them for lunch.
