[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cut out gluten dairy and sugar.  Gut will be gone in six weeks.[/quote]

Not true.  It may help lose overall weight, but if you are genetically too heavy, nothing you eat or don’t eat changes that[/quote]

Yes true.

I am an apple and I was holding about 10-15 pounds in my gut alone and I lost it by cutting out gluten, dairy and sugar. I actually have a flat belly and a waist now and I am fifty.

Try it OP.  You can come back and brag in six weeks.[/quote]

You still are top heavy relative to the rest of your body.  An apple will never be a pear [/quote]

How do you know what my body is like?

Sorry it bugs you to hear this, but no, I am not top-heavy anymore. True that I am not a pear. I am a slender hourglass now with a discernible waist. You can keep telling yourself you have no control over how heavy you are, or you can go gluten/dairy/sugar free for a couple months and see the results for yourself.[/quote]

Actually I'm not overweight at all and have a very small waist.  I work in the fitness industry and have never seen a woman with  a "large gut" go on to have a narrow waist/hourglass.  Sorry just doesn't happen. It doesn't mean you can't have a flat stomach and be in great shape, but a narrow waist compared to hips, no.  [/quote]

NP here and I, like  the apple PP must be an exception because I have also rid myself of the apple shape. I am a naturally slender person who primarily gains weight in the gut. I have a slender waist and a small butt. There are two ways for me to overcome this... Intermittent fasting or a lower carb diet combined with regular cardio and strength training.  I now have flat abs which gives me that slender hour glass shape. Notice I didn't say pear shape because that is impossible with my natural figure. The biggest thing is diet. At 5'2 I have to keep myself no more than 120 lbs or else that extra weight will just go right back to my belly.[/quote]

Hi fellow former apple. They will never believe us b/c it means being very disciplined about what you eat, and yes, heavy lifting helps a lot.

I am 5'6" and about 115, and yes, I am a slender hourglasss. No-- not Marilyn Monroe type, but my waist is not smaller than my hips and my boobs.

Sorry, PP  who "works in the fitness industry and has never this happen" but it did for me! Yay me! And I never stopped foot in the gym. NEVER. and I've never done an ab exercise and I have a flat stomach. True story. It's about food. Not exercise.

Eight-five percent of my weight loss/body reconfiguration was cutting out grains/dairy/sugar. the other 15 was lifting heavy and yoga.[/quote]
