After a free cholesterol test ..... I saw one guy who got his and whooped with joy as it had not only gone down from 6+ to 5, but he had also lost his gut, in 2 months - just by using a really simple diet - just cutting out wheat, but not actually reducing cals.

I was in similar shape 6.5 and a stuborn medium gut (with annoying side bits!) ....... without changing anything else, I just cut wheat ie no bread, pasta, biscuits etc. but still fed until full on alternatives eg rice & potatoe for carbs. Whats nice is ist sooo easy and never go hungrey, there are always alternatives to wheat.

Now its 2 months in and side bits have gone, front gut 1/2 previous size - but still eat what I like, do same riding and have same energy levels. I dont know the scientific reasoning nor where the guy got his info from, it was just one of those passing conversations - BUT it seems to work, in a month I'll get another cholesterol test and see if thats dropped too - if it has - double whammy, if not the gut has still benefitted.
