wat gets rid of a gut

yeah a lot of foods have carbs, so cut back on one type (grains) and increase intake of another type (veg, fruits, nuts). start reading labels it will tell you what's up. if 100g of doughnuts is 350 calories then that's almost a meal's worth of calories in one dinky little serving. that's the caloric equivalent of two whole heads of cauliflower. if you manage what you eat then you can be full after every meal even on a low-cal diet. if you need more calories because you're burning through them with exercise then there are a bunch of different types of oils you can add to your veggies that will add calories but also boost metabolism, unlike foods made of cereal grains.
 
Try to use eat well, include fruits and vegetables and avoid saturated oil and most importantly - salty food. Exercise is will help you not only because you sweat but also because you move around.
I have been on different medications that caused liquid retention and was also advised to drink a lot of water.

This whole societal perplexity over weight loss is incredibly silly and needlessly complicated.

If you want to lose weight, simply reduce your daily food intake. That's it. No special diet, no counting carbs, and no other puerile and extraneous malarkey required.

It doesn't matter the quality of food, rather the quantity is all that needs to be considered.

Belly fat is a hard place to lose weight in general. This is a rather simplistic view but at its core is right. I run everyday, watch caloric intake, limit carbs, etc and still have a hard time dropping the thin lining of fat from years of drinking and poor food choices around my belly. It is a stubborn area to say the least.

This may sound strange, but I've seen some of the ugliest individuals who are rocking very matured beer belly structures and yet they seem to get girls better than I can. I always say your either alpha or beta.

Is there any other way to get the ladies

Be confident, love your body, love their body. Low self esteem and fixating on your faults is a major downer when you're dating.

There are plenty of happily partnered up people with bellies, and I don't know anyone who started dating their partner because they were impressed by their flat stomach.
 
Best way to get rid of a gut is exercise, but be smart. Don't go doing a million sit ups. Or running 3 times a day thinking it will help.

A simple core workout would be
side high knees to work your obliques
two steps side ways and high knee then do the reverse
high knees
(weighted) sit ups
"V" sit ups
leg raises
then if you still have the energy planking, side planking...
There are many exercises just be smart and choose what your doing and put it together. Google bodybuilding.com there's thousands of exercises on there for each muscle group :)
 
You can't target spot fat only surgery can do that. Start by making healthier choices, small steps that make you more active and better food choices. Take the stairs instead of elevators, etc. Do very light walking and light weight resistance training even if it just starts at once a week very low. Research foods too it's extremely simple but hard to catch on as everything you know is probably wrong. Having a banana is practically the same as having a candy bar for instance. Vegetables and proteins are your friend. It takes a little getting used to but start small or you'll give up.

This does take a while to get but if you do any of these crash diets you might reach your results but quickly break and put it all back on.
 
I've gotten a lot of dates by being buff. Being buff and wearing a shirt that accentuates your muscles attracts a lot of attention. If you feel bad about not being in shape, getting in shape can help build your self-confidence which also attracts partners.

Doing cardio regularly as well as core, weights, and some yoga as well as paying attention to diet is how to do it.

"Dates" != "dating".

I am 100% sure that those interactions involved attraction to more than just your stomach. If they didn't, I'm similarly sure they didn't last.

I've gotten a lot of dates based on my amazing rack, but it's never been the sole basis for a relationship.

I still say that learning to love your body as it is - even if you also want to work to change it - is the better long-term game plan. Eventually, we all look like wrinkly pudding, and ideally you want to still have something to offer a partner at that stage of your life.

Doing these things is good for you even if you still keep your belly (which a hell of a lot of people do).

There is nothing wrong with having an amazing rack. People should be proud of their bodies.

I agree. People can tell if you don't lvoe your body as it is.
