Whats the best way for guys to lose their "spare tire"?

Summer's coming and it's so hard to get rid of that bulge that's starting to spill over the top of the jeans. I'm not expecting a six-pack immediately, but I would like some hints or secret routines that help strengthen abs. Diets, exercises, gadgets? Anything REALLY work?

    If you have a bulge and I'm assuming it's fat, you need to clean up your diet and do cardio. none of the gadgets you see on tv work. You can't flatten your stomach by doing crunches. Crunches work the thin layer of muscle and they build it up. You can actually increase the size of your stomach by doing crunches. No stomach exercises will get rid of the fat. It's a chemical process, not an exercise issue.

    The muscle you want to work on is your transverse abdominus which is deep under your "sixpack" . It is part of your core. here is an example of an easy exercise that will eventually result in pulling in your stomach

    Exercise or no exercise you won't be able to lose the weight if you don't cut your food intake but we all know that's pretty hard, right? A good appetite suppressant can help you out big time but it has to be natural or you can get into serious heath problems.

    I lost 38 lbs in 2 months by using garcinia cambogia extract (FDA approved 100% natural). In my first month 26 and then 12 the second month. I was an emotional eater and these supplements changed my life. They act like an appetite suppressant so I didn't feel like eating anymore. Not hungry anymore -> Lower calories -> Lose weight, simple as that. I did no exercises just 20 minutes walks 5 days a week.

    It's been 4 months since I lost the weight and I did not gain any pounds back, actually I lost another 5 lbs (I stop taking them after I lost the weight). If you want to take a look here is a website where you can find discounts: http://www.garciniacambogiapromo.com/ I got them 30% off from here. Hope this helps!

    First, eliminate carbs (bread, rice pasta, potatoes) and ALL fried foods. After you reach your goals, you can gradually reintroduce these in small quantities.

    Second, break a sweat for at least 10 minutes every day.

    Third, pick a section of your body to concentrate on each day for weight training, gradually increasing as you go; ie, Monday/Wednesday, arms, Tuesday/Thursday: abs and back, Friday/Sunday: legs. (take one day for rest from weights, not from cardio, though).

    You can take each section to failure (maximum muscle breakdown/buildup) by starting the session heavy and then decreasing the weight while increasing the reps until you just can't lift another 20 pounds. This really works!!

    Good luck!! You CAN do this!!

    It takes hard work, there is no "magic pill" that will make it happen in like a few days (saying that; if you ever see people advertising stuff like that don't listen, its just for those companies to make money). First off, you need a healthy diet, not much fat in the diet. You need cardio exercise (like jogging, skipping) every day for at least 20 minutes, and then you need the stomach exercises. Look up pilates on google, or this website for good abs exercises:

    Keep this kind of meal between 400 and 1000 calories. Serve yourself a more compact portion, so if you like returning for seconds, you'll just find yourself eating a normal-size portion.

    Music forces you to eat more. According to a work by the journal Psychology along with Marketing, soft, classical tunes encourage one to take time over your dinner, so you consume more meals. So, switch off – silence will make you more aware of what you’re applying your mouth.
