Is it fat?
erab...@gmail.com
weight approx 25lbs. My biggest problem I have, is that I know I have a
belly but I am wondering really how much of it is fat. You see my belly
does stick out like I am pregnant (no offence to the ladies) but the
thing is there is an approximate layer of 1 inch of fat but it is hard
under there. In other words I feel that even though I trim down and
loose the fat I still feel I will be left with a round pot in profile.
I used to go to the gym and did loose quite a bit of weight approx. 2
years ago but always seemed to have that round pregnant looking pot
sticking out although there was not much fat around it. I had done
aerobics and different types of stomach exercise. Is the pot being
caused by some type of internal fat? Is it my stomach which is bloated?
Is there something I can do to reduce it? I can feel my stomach muscles
with my fingers behind that 1 inch layer of fat but it looks like a big
beer belly.....please help me understand.
TIA

For most men, belly fat is the very last to go. Nothing much one can do
about it except keep exercising. Spot reduction of fat is a myth, I'm
afraid.
The people who do the best at losing fat while keeping muscle seem to
work in cycles - first lift weights and eat hearty, trying to gain
mostly muscle but expecting some fat gain. Then you keep lifting
weights, cut back on the calories, and hope to lose mostly fat but
expecting to lose some muscle as well. Ideally you end up at your
starting weight but with a different body composition. In your case,
since you have weight to lose, start by cutting your calories and
lifting weight, trying to preserve muscle while also dropping fat.
Also be aware that much of your "pot belly" appearance is a matter of
posture. Look at this link - check out the pairs of pictures, the only
difference being posture and what muscles he's holding in.

It's fat. But a considerable amount is internal and not under the skin.
Lose the weight and you will see.

Yes, your posts are coming through. There is no registration.
Questions that are interesting to anyone are answered by the persons
interested.
Or, if repeated and repeated, by someone like me.

Because you're a top posting moron who pays $20 a month for something that is
available at no cost.

Since you seem new to the Usenet, let me offer a few words
of advice.
First, ignore anyone who stoops to ad hominem comments
("moron" etc). Very likely, they are using such comments to
hide the fact that they do not know what they are talking about.
In any case, they are not worth your time and effort to respond,
especially if you are paying a premium for the privilege.
(It is analogous to some punk kid accosting you on the street.
Usually, it is best to simply walk away and avoid a fight.)
Second, there is nothing wrong with paying for "news" access,
if that provides extra service. But if you are not aware, you can
get "sufficient" Usenet service for free. For example, I use
http://groups.google.com . One can quibble with whether
groups.google is "sufficient" service ;-). But heck, it is free.
But just because you pay for "news" service, that does not
require anyone to respond. The "news" service is one of those
many uncontrolled free services that is supported entirely on
a voluntary best-effort basis.
Moreover, do not assume that any response is authoritative,
even in moderated newsgroups. You will have to judge the
"authority" of any response based on the your assessment
of the character of the respondent, which is hard to do in this
environment.
Finally, there was nothing wrong with the form of your postings,
be it the first one or the one that I am responding to. You
correctly "bottom-posted" or "in-line posted" sparingly in the
first posting. And you correclty top-posted in this most-recent
posting, since you were not responding to any part, but instead
you were attaching the entire prior discussion as an "exhibit".
Refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-posting .
(But keep in mind that Wikipedia, too, is a largely uncontrolled
free service, despite "best efforts" to review its content.)
