@roccafella: bro if you're having that much problem with your gut then you need to start looking deeper into your training program, workout and diet wise. Start counting calories and keep track of your daily sodium intake. that's a big thing to look at because the more sodium you're intaking, bigger your gut is going to get because of the water retention traits sodium has. another thing about your diet is you have to speed up that metabolism of yours. I eat meals every three hours a day and 70% of my meal is protein. at first this is going to seem taxing on your performance but your body will become used to running off only 100g's of carbs per day(especially if you supplement coffee into your diet, and no sugar...don't be a bitch). if you check out greg plitts' website @ www.gregplitt.com he has some amazing blogs on nutritional equations that you can build your diet from(check it out and he'll go in depth so that i don't have to).

next, you need to look at how much cardio you are doing. because it is competition season for me i hit cardio in the morning before i eat. i'm finding awesome results in that just like i'm sure you will. now remember all of what i just said is just recommendations, take it or leave it
