| Getting divorced during a pandemic has led to some weight gain for me. Was drinking more than normal and I also WFH now so I'm pretty sedentary. Gained about 15 pounds, most of it in my gut. I was randomly asked out today. Ready to start dating again. Wondering how to quickly lose at least the gut while I start walking more during the day/exercising for longterm weight loss. |

| High protein and low carb is the way to go. I also only eat between 12-6pm. No booze. Drink a ton of water. |

Gender, age, food allergies, and hormones matter. if you do it naturally the gut is always the last to go.
Recommended - See a nutritionist and have your labs done . Get tested for food allergies, even if you think you have none. Increase the water and fiber in your diet. |

| I cut out booze and bread (wheat products) and my stomach was smaller within a week. Adding in weight training and light cardio (running 1-2 miles) three times a week, on top of eating mostly fruits and vegetables, helped as well |

| You have to exercise at least 5 times a week--cardio and weights. |

| Gut fat is just still fat and will go away when you eat less food than you’d need to maintain your current weight. Lower your calorie intake to a deficit large enough to lose weight. |

It's actually pretty simple, nothing magical or mysterious with what needs to be done.
Cut out the starches (bread, rice, pasta, all processed foods), no alcohol - none. Eating window should be between 11am-7pm. |
