Just trust me and follow my advice. Those programs never work in most cases.

When I quit smoking about a year and a half ago, I gained myself a nice belly. I'm trying to get rid of it and I found a nice "10 minute a day" routine, but I'm confused on if it matters when I eat.
In this thread I've found that I should eat before exercising, after exercising and taht it doesn't matter
Luckily no one said to eat while exercising!!
For starters, double or triple that 10-min workout.
Eat a meal or something with protein (protein shakes are quick and easy) 30 minutes to an hour pre-workout. For post-workout you should consume something like a protein shake again. You don't need a full meal pre-workout, just something to give you good sustenance; that's why a protein shake works well. There's nothing wrong with a full meal afterwards though (no burgers or junk food). Make sure you get something in your system within 30 minutes post-workout.
No offense to everyone who tried to help, but most of the info in this thread was pretty random and just thrown out there (incorrectly).
Pfft I dont think all the advice

YOUR information was fine. SOME of the others were not.
I was just hoping to help him get on the right track since it takes more than 10 minutes to lose weight. What I think about when I hear of a 10 minute work-out are those Bowflex commercials that promise you a physical trainers body with 9 minute work-outs.
Take it for what you want, and be offended by what you want; although nothing I have said was intended to be too harsh. My internet skin is thick so perhaps I came across very blunt for the sensitive readers, but I want the best results for the OP and having random things like "I think" or "It doesn't really matter" certainly doesn't help in a situation that needs specifics.
Hopefully that helps clarify things. I am happy to help be more specific, even down to proper diet requirements if needed.
This topic is entirely dependant on the individuals needs. For someone who wants to build muscle mass as opposed to just losing the weight there are two entirely different arguments.
I could give you all sorts of links and book articles supporting different peoples views. What works for one might not work for another. I know what I do but I am building muscle mass as opposed to losing weight other than body fat percentage. Anyhow not going to hijack, but let us know how its going. I think its great either way that your trying to lose it and a high fiver for kicking the smokes. :thumbup: And Josh now that I know you are even versed in diet requirements I might pick your brain sometimes lol.
to lose weight you should do cardio at least 2 hours 3 times a week and resistance training on the other days, with a rest day if you want.
Genetics do play an astronomical part of the way your body looks and how it will behave when you start trying to "alter" it.
For example, I drop weight so incredibly fast it isn't even funny. I focus most of my energy on doing things to keep weight on, which is the polar opposite of most people. I have people I work with and train that have the complete opposite results, they often joke that if they even think about eating a hamburger they gain 5 lbs.
