I have a quite fat tummy and i wanted a six pack. For past one month i been push up around 100 to 200 times a day , 40x5 eaxh set and some random abs workout. I can see significant improvement on my shoulder and muscle but my tummy still so fat. I lowered my food intake compared to last time.

Each morning i ate 1 roti canai and teh ice. Lunch is random since i work nearby bts but dinner definitely home rice with chicken, egg and vege.

Any sifu can advise? I doubt i can do much change for breakfast and dinner, but what type of lunch i should take? Or any other workout i should try?

What type of lunch i should have? Dont want spend too much on lunch... dinner definitely will be rice( home cook). Didnt know 1 keping roti canai will be so bad.

Sugary water are unnecessary calories.
Drink plain water.
Like the previous person said, count your calories.
Dont exceed.

Are your forms good? Ask for someone to check for you.
I personally dont like doing high amount of pushups, but rather I would increase the difficulty once I feel it becomes too easy.
try other harder variations or do them with weights

Reduce the rice, eat something that makes you fuller, more fiber.

I usually eat one slice of cheddar a day, really helps in feeling satiated on top of getting my calcium
You have to balance portion and frequency.
Once you start, stick to it and dont think about it, put yourself in autopilot mode.
I do feel the urge to cheat once in a while, but I always have fruits as snacks.
It's my first time trying for abs too, I wish you good luck bro.
I used to do crunches, but I ditched it. Since most of my calisthenics and lifting routine also involves my core.
I dont do plank also, cos it seems kinda stupid haha.

Changed my diet to 2x half boiled egg and iced coffee in the morning since coffee slightly lower cal than tea lol. I need eithercone of them to start the day. Lunch eat either chicken slice from subway, porridge, 3x fruits or 2 x hotdog + 1 egg + 1 slice of toast bread + baked red bean.
Dinner only 1/2 rice with normal stuff. Still doing the push up and squat only though but i think manage to shake off 0.8 kg for past week. Just belly still seems so round. Hopefully will be better after a month. Good luck to you too.

Thanks all sifu for advice. My initial thought is, eat less cal, more protein + work out = voila 6 pack... Will do more research from now on.

Extra food + exercise = gain muscle + minimal fat
Extra food + no exercise = gain fat

That said, if you gain a lot of weight in a short period of time, you will gain lots of fat so take it slow. No you don't need whey protein or mass gainers if you eat properly and before you ask, no you can't just lose fat at your belly area either. Now run!

After 3 month diet and workout. I looks weird. Almost other part of my body looks thinner, and makes my belly looks bigger now. Am i pregnant or something? I am a guy btw and loses 6 kg so far since i initial started.

You probably did something ridiculous like over exercising and under eating.

Probably under eating since i feel hungry sometimes even after dinner. Only work out 15 minutes each day. Maybe should add in whey protein since most day i cant reach my protein goal.

Some stupid question. Will calorie deficit enough to make abs visible? If a person eat kfc everyday but still within calorie deficit, will the abs show? Do i have to eat clean?
*
I don't know much since i am still noob, but i think despite you are still within caloric deficit, if you keep eat KFC everday, you are over consuming salt,oil etc etc. Correct me if i am wrong. I am having same situation since I am unable to control what i eat during dinner time.... except for taking lesser white rice. lol. 1/2 year workout and caloric deficit and no abs. CNY approaching soon, I wonder how many kg i will gain. sweat.gif
