    re: Anita Hoare

    I'd like to add that I snack on all the wrong things - chips, candy bars, ice cream, soda. McD french fries are a favorite. I eat lots of red meat - the kind that drips fat. I only discriminate by taste (yum means more). If I take in over 3000 calories a day, I'm good to go....of course this is the diet of a skinny guy.

    All this to point out that if you burn enough calories you can still lose fat despite what you eat. If you do both (burn more calories and ingest less), the effects are more dramatic.

    It's all about cutting back on the beer. That's why they call it a beer gut. The fat collects around the liver and then around other organs.

    Sometimes what looks like a fat stomach is just weak abdominals. Runners get this a lot because we wear the hell out of the back side of our body. Beer gut has nothing to do with beer. You'd get a beer gut by gorging on tacos every weekend too. When you gain fat you gain it in very predictable ways. USUALLY, males will first store fat in the stomach area and tend to store more fan viscerally (meaning UNDER the muscle, around the organs) instead of subcutaneously (meaning OVER the muscle and under the skin). Females USUALLY store fat first in the butt, hips, and chest. If you're a female and think you have a fat stomach it's probably more a case of weak lower abdominal muscles. First off, go get your body fat tested, skin fold tests will run you like 10 bucks at the most or free at your local gym. Then if you're a male over 13% or female over 20% (both in the "athletic" category) you can start worrying about losing weight. Run more, weigh less.
