So here's the details. Right now I have a 42" belly, 38" waist. Genetically, I'm a slim guy, the beer and college diet just got to me in a bad way. I want to get back to a flat 32". What's it take? I'm off to Mexico in October, so that would be my time frame (4 months).
I work a *lot*, like upwards of 100 hrs a week, so I can't spend all day in the gym. So far I do my best to get a half hour of intervals in before breakfast (1 minute hard, 2 minutes easy) which burns about 400 calories (per treadmill calculator), but I simply don't have time to commit to a weight routine, if that would help at all.
Also due to work, my diet can be inconsistent at best. I have rolled oats/natural peanut butter/honey for breakfast (~400 cal), lots of coffee, and for dinner I've usually fried up bacon & eggs, but recently started sauteing half a bag of frozen vegetables, sometimes with some brown rice and maybe chicken breast. Lunch is anybody guess, sushi, subway, pizza, you name it as long as its quick. And I almost always end my day with a little bit of scotch - no mix, but figure that's under 100 calories so can't be too bad...right? I try very hard not to buy chips or hot dogs or anything like that, but if I haven't eaten all day, it can be really, really hard not to, so I admit I do that probably a couple times a week.
So I don't know how many pounds I'll need to drop to flatten my stomach, so far I've just thrown around the 30 pound number (bringing me from 204 lbs to 170ish) in 4 months. Doable? Tips? Recommended diets? Anything?
I'm 26 y/o male btw.
