Cardio daily. Remove alcohol. Limit carbs. Drink enough watercan't get rid of love handles. Working out 3-4 days/wk. Eating mostly chicken. Any suggestions?
Curious. Why do you think so? I assumed a low-fat, low-carb, high-protein diet would be the way to trim fast without looking like a runt.I'd cut the chicken way down and eat mostly fruits and vegetables.
From my perspective, after reading tons of literature over countless years, and sifting through bro-science, youtube, my own doctors, and all things in between, I've settled on a diet of 80% fruits/vegetables being the best for the modern lifestyle. The rest is primarily protein. Add carbs in as your physical workload increases.Curious. Why do you think so?

I would just emphasize the eating less. You don't necessarily have to exercise more.In my opinion, if you're not losing weight, then you need to exercise more and eat less.
It's really that simple.
You can do crunches and planks until you're blue in the face. Won't make a difference if you've got a layer of fat covering your abs and obliques.
Yeah, I would still need the diet to be low-calorie overall. In the past, I have lost weight while still building muscle by sticking to two meals a day of fish or chicken and greens. Thanks for the advice.You need to have a caloric deficit from week to week. Calculate your BMR with activity level, eat more than that on workout days and lower on the 4 off days.
Chicken is a good choice when you're trying to lose weight. It's low calorie and high protein. You ever try to eat a pound of chicken in one sitting? Not an easy task haha. A pound of chicken breast is like 640 calories, if I remember correctly.
But yeah, fruits and vegetables and all that.
Edit - It's actually less than 640.
