re: Best way to kill the beer gut?

No breads, potatoes, dairy, fruit (except avacado and tomatoes). More veggies and slow carbs like beans and lentils. Drink red wine instead of beer but in moderation. Consume 30g of protein 30 min upon awakening. Do full body lifts 3 times a week. Only need to do abs if you want to. Diet is key, and lifts like squat, cleans, deadlifts are all you really need to accelerate lean muscle growth and increase testeoetone and growth hormone. And HIIT on track is best. Good luck.
