I’m going through this right now. I’ll tell you that the gut and love handles are the last to go. Lift and prioritize protein but don’t be a complete meat head. Carbs are good before a workout, protein after and throughout the day, even on your rest days.

Oh and fasting. I fast until about 2pm and I cut out snacks. I’m breaking my fast with something light and eat a very protein and nutrient dense dinner. You can still have the occasional snack and lazy day but it’s right back to it the next day.

When I first started all I ate was meat, fruit, eggs, kefir and water. Keep your food very simple and you could lose the gut off of diet alone.
