Hi Walter,

You hit this right on the head. Diet is a HUGE factor. It’s sad that people fall into the trap of looking for the next magic pill. We all should know that the right mixture of exercise and diet is the best way to achieve results, and that mixture is different for everyone (I agree whole-heartedly with your assessment of testing).

I realized that my eating habits were horrible, and once I adjusted (eliminating fast food, processed food, sugar, etc) I began to feel more alive. The ‘side effect’ of losing weight/belly fat was a pleasant happening.

Now I have hired a trainer to keep me on track with my workouts and hope to get back to actually feeling stronger like I remember when I was in high school.

Enjoy the journey!

Good advice Walter, having information about losing belly fat is one thing, but the method needs to be something we can adapt and keep as a lifestyle choice. I have no problem with belly fat, but my method for losing it isn’t for many people. I run marathons.

Running does eliminate fat, but to get a six-pack, old-fashioned sit-ups, crunches and press-ups work fine.

Many does not understand that success requires trial and error. No wonder few succeed in winning their goals.

Nice to see you here again Dupre.

Thanks Mark. Sometimes I wonder why people try to copy the methods of other in achieving success. Don’t they realize that our conditions in life are different? This is the reason we need to know what works for us, and not just imitate the method of others.

Thank you Tristan for your kind words. I just want to others know that there are methods to achieve success, and trial and error is one of them.

Hi Walter,

First of all, congratulations on losing your belly fat!

I like the fact that you mentioned that what worked for you may not work for others. Very true! And like you beautifully put, “we are all bestowed with intellect to aid us in acquiring what we aspire in life.”

I think people just don’t try to listen to that intellect from within, and try to find the answers from others because they do not trust that they themselves have the answers.

Cheers,
Mark

Great post, Walter. I especially like this line: “We are all bestowed with intellect to aid us in acquiring what we aspire in life.” Beauiful!

And great job with losing the belly fat. I guess the next trick is to keep it off
