5. that may make him lose a few pounds |
|
:-)
but it does nothing for his abs.
i say liposuction. it is just going to come back, heavier and heavier. trust me.
i'm a skinny dude, too, except for my waistline. as i have grown older all the weight i gain goes there, it never spreads out over the rest of my body.
for me to lose the weight from the waist, by the time i have lost it i look skeletal (i did just that a few years ago). it's just in my genes for the fat to go there. that is why i am considering lipo.

2. I'm not a professional, but - |

cardio is good for blasting belly fat. You don't want to do too MUCH cardio while you're trying to put on weight, but try a couple times a week for 20 minutes at a time. Be sure to do core strengthening exercises as well.
What's your plan to gain weight? Weight training? A body-building regimen with plenty of protein should help do the trick, as well as replacing the fat around your middle with lean muscle.

4. excercise and stay away from refined sugary carbs and stuff |
|
and cardio excercises should burn it off.
I assume you're trying to build muscle so go lift weights and take soy protein.

For that you're going to either need chemical helpers and incredible discipline to boot, or stick with the fat, don't excercize, and just eat alot more. The latter will be much easier ;)

9. find out if you're a candidate for liposuction |
|
Unfortunately if you are otherwise skinny, then if you try to lose fat, it goes from your face first and you look ill.

10. It will be very difficult to lose fat and gain muscle simultaneously |

Most bodybuilders bulk up first and then lose the small amount of excess fat after--doing both at once will likely just exhaust you and little will change. The goal for eating when you want to gain mass is to eat more than you burn, and the goal for eating when you want to lose fat is to eat less than you burn. To keep a perfect balance for the several months you'll need to sustain your program is likely an impossibility.

11. Eat small clean meals often. |
|
Brown rice, chicken, tuna, fruits and veggies (ugh I hate most veggies) Excersize-wise, benchpress, deadlift, and squat are probably the most important. Also some bicep curls and situps/cunches/leg lifts. I'm in the same boat but making good progress, oddley enough to me the diet part seems much more difficult then the working out.
