Hi guys. Just joined a gym yesterday after about years. I'm trying to shift the gut and the love handles. I figured that 60 mins worth of cardio should be sufficient 6 days a week. I really can't cut down too much on my diet or change it drastically. Reason? I'm Asian and curry and hot food is part of my diet. But I get plenty of protein and carbs through it and it's fairly balanced. I just consume way too much of it. I'm not gonna hit the weights yet till I at least lose and inch from the waist to be honest.

Way to go Shak, I've been doing 30mins on the bike or a 2-3km jog every other day to try and shed some pounds too.

Best of luck to you.

I'm also a fan of fiery hot curries and like to treat myself to Vindaloo once per week

Curry is part of my diet and when I get told to cut down on it then you might as well stab me in the eye with a rusted nail! But seriously I went to the gym this morning and did 1 hour of speed walking mixed with some jogging on the treadmill and managed to burn around 550 calories. I'm gonna try and get the exercising done in the morning so that the rest of the day is free. What I don't want to do is make the mistake of counting how many calories I take in. I fell for that last time and soon got bored of the cardio because it became a chore. I just want it to become a part of what I do on a daily basis like shaving etc and not just an "additional" chore otherwise you can soon become bored.

So very true bro!

D.A.L.U.I.:
Curries, great, just eat  brown not white rice!  Heavy on "complex carbs" with them and lots of the tasty veggies in Asian cooking, just put the "sweet" sauces on the side. No potato curries--they're great, but boy can that put on weight.  Then as always, don't eat too much.  Get a iPod or radio and have some other entertainment while you workout, it also keeps you from talking to others and that only works the jaws, not the gut.
