I am about to blow my fricking brains out. I've worked out inconsistently for years but the last 3 months I started doing Kinobody, like REALLY going at it, and I can NOT even take a fricking inch off my gut or put on muscle. It's not even a flabby belly it's like a hard, firm, inflated stomach fat too and it won't fricking budge. I do intermittent fasting (basically skip breakfast), 3 intense workouts a week and cardio on off days, increase weight every week, caloric deficit (like 500 under ever day), started taking a fiber supplement, less than 100 carbs a day, some days less than 50, tons of water, rarely drink alcohol, no T deficiency but even started taking tribulus to see if that would help, nothing. What the frick am I doing wrong here? Am I not giving it enough time? Am I not breathing properly to max out workouts? Am I doing too much belly breathing? Do I have a fricking disease? PLEASE someone tell me...I hate looking like a skinny guy with a fat fricking moron gut. It's literally embarrassing with all the effort I'm putting in.

Lose more weight
How...dipshit.
Eat 1k under your maintenance every day
fricking morons. Try tracking the ingredients in your food and stop eating out. No sugar, high protein. Sometimes you lie to yourself when you are tracking calories; don't.
he might be on to something
that's my thing I've been counting calories to EXACT numbers and even significantly raised daily protein intake.
Guess we'll see what the doc has to say.
You should see a doctor.
Quit alcohol entirely.
Stop supplementing fiber.
Reassess your caloric needs (hint: if it's not going down, you're not in a deficit)
But seriously see a doctor. You might be very ill.
I'm going to next month
Isn't going too low gonna frick up my metabolism?
No, just make sure to have a few weeks of maintenance period after you hit your goal weight. That will help your appetite reset so you dont immediately start putting fat back on. 2-4 weeks of maintenance after a cut. Expect to gain 4 or 5 pounds back in glycogen stores and water weight.
Reduce calories further until you start losing the weight.
>do intermittent fasting (basically skip breakfast)
Try skipping lunch too
Honestly OP your stomach doesn't look 100% normal even for someone really fat. It looks taut and hard. Have you seen a doc at all?
pic unrelated, sorry should've mentioned. Mine isn't THAT bad but I have the skinny fat look with just a firm, inflated gut and it's pissing me off.
Not trolling, what color is your poop?
Normally your typical brown, sometimes lighter. I've actually taken a deep dive into poop shapes and colors and mine doesn't appear to be alarming
Cut out ALL carbohydrates. Eat only meat and eggs. You cannot possibly gain weight only eating protein and fat. You don't need to count calories either, just eat when you're hungry.
I'm a formerly fat guy who tried EVERYTHING to lose weight including CICO and Keto and fasting and this is the only thing that ever worked long-term. Sugar/carb addiction is the problem and all CICO did was drive me crazier the more I cut out.
I think I may need to do this then, will give it a shot.
I rarely drink beer. If I do drink (one night a week if even that) it's wine or a wienertail
Will keep in mind. Thank you all
Stop drinking beer
Do you weigh your food? Do you douse your food in oil when you cook?
I don't weigh it I kinda rely on calories and nutrition facts. And no I maybe eat something fried once every couple weeks if even that.
As others mentioned above I'm going to completely cut out carbs even for a week just to see what happens and add more protein heavy meals.
One thing I didn't mention earlier but was suggesting is that because it's a more firm belly fat I have reason to believe it's mostly (if not purely) visceral which take a toll on deep breathing, which is most likely hindering workout quality anyway. I just gotta unfrick that first.
>I did 3 months of effort!!
>Why don't I have my goal body?!?!
It's summer
> (like 500 under ever day),
lmao, typical fatty incompetence/self tricking cope. Not only is this dude doing the bait minimum as a goal, he’s probably counting wrong and eating like 75 cals away from maint
You should be aiming to lose 3-4 lbs at your condition, not 1
That's alcoholic gut. Warning signs of liver failure. Gut is filling with fluid.
moron.
> Am I not breathing properly to max out workouts? Am I doing too much belly breathing?
You're either completely misinformed or deep in delusion if you're asking questions like this. Unfortunately probably the second.
The ONLY thing that matters is CICO.
>caloric deficit (like 500 under ever day)
So this is the only piece of information contained in your entire ranty shitpost. Get rid of that "like" and bump the 500 to 1000. Eat at exactly 1000kcal below maintenance, or less, every day. You will lose weight predictably. Read the sticky for more information, and frick off.
You look sick. In a bad way.
Full morono, try doing 5 sessions per week with 40 min incline walking, recalculate your TDEE and eat -600 yo -700 less calories, you have to burn the calories, dont worry about losing a lil muscle, you will gain all back in weeks once on a small surplus
I'm the same way although now with broader back and bigger arms, I do drink beer and I thought that beer was the main issue but now I'm thinking that the issue is gluten. I think I'm gluten intolerant/celiac and that makes my gut to bloat. I quit on gluten food and my gut is starting to decrease quicker than when I started to have a healthy diet and cico.
You are lying to yourself about your calorie intake. It's normal for delusional fatties. Stop intermittent fasting and just do a real water fast. It's a lot harder to lie to yourself when you are supposed to eat literally nothing. Seriously. Just stop eating for a week. Then break fast for a few days with lot's of protein then go again.
