Hi there,
I work out 6 days a week and I am trying to lose belly fat (20lbs), and trying to eat better too. But when I come to work I sit all day and all I want to do is eat. I bought some celery to munch on and I will have like 15 cheez-its. I am trying to eat within my calories, but after all this working out I am not burning enough calories and eating more cause I am bored at work. Any suggestions? It will really help me. I just want this fat to go away, I work to hard to have this. My weight is 155 and I am 5'5" and I am 38 years old. Please help me lose the belly fat and the 20lbs.
Thanks,
Kari
Your post sounds just like me last year... I was 160 and 5'6'' with a lot of belly fat. I am now 135 and the belly fat is gone!!! I did nothing special, but cardio, eat healthier and eat less. I hope it works out just as well for you =)
I also have a sit down job. My office is mostly men who can eat what ever they want. I see ice cream, candy and fried food every day. AND to make things even worse there are free snacks!!! As other posters have said I plan healthy snacks into my calorie count. Yogurt and strawberries with a little cereal on top is one of my favorites. Also raw broccoli with a little dip is very filling. All the guys laugh my my little baggies of snacks, but hey I loss 25 pounds so who is laughing now!!!
One other suggestion, if you do not mind artificial sweeteners, try sugar free hard candy. Most only 6-9 calories a piece and it take the edge off when your co-worker across the table is eating M&Ms.
