Hi guys,
I've been on a fat loss and strength building journey for 1-2 years now and I've made significant progress, but the fat on my stomach is proving very difficult to lose. I know diet is my biggest challenge, and I find myself constantly overwhelmed, or overthinking it, and as a result, not being consistent enough to get me through to the next level.
I'm a closing in on 39 years old, 5'10 (70inch?), about 100kg (220lbs) and probably somewhere around 30% body fat. My arms and legs are lean and I'm holding most of the fat around my organs and places you really don't want it. I've been to a nutrionist and didn't find it very helpful after 3 appointments. It was all very broad information and not as specific as I wanted it, and I felt like it was more about getting me back for another $90 appointment the following month than giving me the guidance I needed to succeed. I tend to thrive on routine, and I'm not afraid to eat the same thing every day, at the same time, if I know that's what I need to do to progress. I was hoping they would give me a meal plan and tell me what to eat and when to time certain meals around training and times of the day.
Can anyone help me simplify this in my mind and guide me to basic meals that I can eat day in and day out? Steak and eggs, chicken and sweet potato, proats? I feel like I'm treading water right now and my physique is starting to get me down. I know if I could get this belly fat down I'd be much happier with how I look. Any help and advice is much appreciated, even if it's jsut a few words of encouragement.
