Ask James Fitness Questions!
 

I have been coaching, training, and selling supplements for a few years now, so ask me your training/weight loss/supplement questions.

How can I get rid of my pot belly without liposuction? :confused: I have lost weight, but can't lose the belly.

Now I don't know who to ask the important questions of life -- James or Arya?

Cream. Try walking on your hands for the next ten years or so and see if it reverses the effects of gravity! Then you'll have a bigger chest and smaller tummy.

James, I knew it, a druggie pusher of of the Herbal type! What a Grin!!!!:)

Healt Hut is in the same center but the owners wife looks enimic, and the Nordic employee looks good except she is to old for me!!! She must be in her 50's and taller than me!:o

If only it were that simple, lol! :)

Cream,

OK then, I'll be in the City in mid-June. Don't eat or drink until I get there.

You have to lsoe more body fat without sacrificing muscle. After a certain point, the more weight you lose the flabbier you will get.

Do you follow a diet/workout program at all? If so which one? What do you eat daily? Do you keep a log of it?

Try mixing a concoction of jelly and eggs and rubbing it on your belly! The jelly acts as a fat absorbant (because it's sticky) while the egg acts as a natural moisturizer for the covering up of cellulite. :p

HE HE HE! Sorry, just had to throw a crazy joke in here!

my best guy friend is mortified about his body. i told him not to worry about it that much. he's about 135 lbs and 5'5. never been fat in his entire life. the thing is, he has stretch marks all over his body, and you can see it. i think in 8th grade he started to work out and it made his skin strecth, i don't know, but that is when it started to show. his entire back, elbow, under the arm pit area, legs, and butt area. he is afraid to go out in public and do the outdoors type of things like swimming or just taking off his shirt for volleyball. he also wants to rush next semester and does not want to because of this situation. is there anything he can do to get rid of this? he only saw the doctor once for a physical and that was it. the doctor didnt say anything at all. anyone can answer this.

I was on Atkins and lost 10 pounds. I am the right weight for my height according to those charts. (I'm not sure how accurate the charts are.) I got sick of low carb and have been eating moderately for a couple of months now. I have kept the weight off. I don't keep a log of my food/calorie intake.


I don't really work out. Apparently, I need to tone and build muscle. I just don't know what to do. James, share your wisdom with me please. :)

Excuse me while I put the jelly and eggs back into the refrigerator. ;)

I don't have cellulite or stretch marks just a soft lower belly. :) You know, that area below my belly button.

Cream,

My ex (the personal trainer) told me the best way to get rid of my gut (that I too complained about) was to run like the wind. He claimed cardio was the best! Hmmm...excuse me while I grab another beer and watch my brother run on the treadmill ;)

You have got to get pretty big pretty fast to get sytretch marks like that. Thats just odd. What you are saying is that he has never really gotten "bigger" as in hugely muscular or fat and yet for some reason his skin has stretched.

he has NEVER been fat, i think it was the early exercising. they say you get it by gaining weight or loosing too much weight at once. he has never experienced both of that.

I had stretch marks on my "Jennifer Lopez Booty." lol.

Seriously though, I would tell him to see a dermatologist. I went to one and she told me there was nothing to do for them to completely get rid of them. I'm sure that a good derm. has some kind of creme to at least make them less noticeable. I rubbed cocoa butter lotion on mine to lighten them. I know this might not be possible for him but losing weight or muscle mass would help a little, but like you said he is not overweight.

TexasAGD- many guys have stretch marks from working out, usually on their arms, but they can happen anywhere on your body. They are also caused by an increase in hormones, probably why he developed them in adolescence. I would definately tell him to see a dermatologist- especially one that specializes in cosmetic dermatology. They have more options as to how to remove them or cover them up.

I don't feel that I gained weight really fast, just some people's skin stretches. I saw one on my knee the other day! odd. you can't tell me that my knee is fat! lol
I'm not overweight either, I'm actually low weight. 5'9'' and 130, and muscular but all my junk is in my trunk!
