Losing weight
#18989504 - 10/17/13 03:46 AM (10 years, 4 months ago) |

First of all I'm not obese or anything, but I want to lose some weight. Since high school began I've always been a bit chubby, never teased or anything at school but always been self conscious. I've tried to diet and exercise before but the dieting part always got away from me. Longest I've lasted on a diet is two weeks, which was long enough to lose a few kg but not long enough to see a difference visually, and then after two weeks I'd just fall off the wagon and start eating junk food at 1am again.
Basically I wanted to ask you shroomers if you've ever completed a diet/weight loss routine? And what helped you get through it and achieve what you wanted to?
My goal is just to lose enough weight to have a flat stomach. Not concerned about getting 6 pack abs or whatever, just want to feel healthier, lighter and more confident.

High Protein, Low Carb diet, for me at least, is the best way to go when it comes to losing weight.
Squeeze a fresh lemon in your water daily
And avoid carbs (or any large meal) within a few hours of you going to sleep, you will be amazed at the difference this makes.
My usual daily food intake is
Breakfast: Oatmeal with peanut butter, and a banana
Snack: Protein Bar
Lunch: Chicken Salad
Snack: Vegetables, (Brocolli, Cauliflower)
Dinner: Grilled chicken with peppers and onions
That is if my schedule permits this type of plan, but you can switch stuff out, that's just how I successfully lose weight and it has become a daily routine where it doesn't feel like a diet anymore.
Oh and don't forget weight lifting and exercise.

I'd like to lose some weight too, but only because I have a large waistline. But it isn't fat per se. It is muscle that doesn't fit on my shoulders and chest.

Stop drinking alcohol if you do.
Look at your consumptions of sugars, fats, and carbs and how you can cut back on these things.
Eat less. Try to train yourself to be more comfortable with feeling a little hungry. It's not that bad.
Exercise more- it's important to find a kind of exercise you really enjoy doing. I think that's more important than what specific type of exercise you do. For me that's martal art training. I do Aikido 4 days a week and that pretty well keeps me fit as a fiddle, but really any martial art training done 3-5 days a week will make a huge difference.

start small too, incorporate stuff slowly but stick with it, i havnt lost any wait yet, but the same stuff in this thread was suggested to me in RL, but it was overwhelming to try everything at once
i saw this video last night which i find really motivating for this type of goal, i posted in a bunch of threads to make sure i stumble across it his morning

Eat small amounts of healthy food, often. Most people don't eat this way, so count calories at first so you know you aren't overeating. Be sure to cut excess sugars from your diet.
start a lifting regiment
no cardio necessary

although i agree with this, i had a nutritionist disagree with it, she said its fine to do it, but she dosnt suggest it because lots of people fail at it and end up in a worse habit, then eating three meals of day
she also said half your plate should be veggies(about as much as you can fit in 2 hands) a quarter of your plate should be meat ( the size of a deck of cards) and a quarter of your plate should be grain
i would eat more then a deck of cards of meat, though i thought id just post what they have taught me ( that was for the 3 meals thing, not sure surving sizes if you do the 6 meals)

Yeah. It's kinda difficult to do.
As long as he's in a slight caloric deficit and doesn't cram in all of his calories in one or two sittings he should begin losing weight.

I went vegan and lost 4 stone in about 2 months. I went rock climbin a couple times a week and just ate what I want as long as it was vegan. I'm now at a healthy weight and still vegan and my weightloss has levelled off....go vegan for a while as a diet. It's not hard as you can still eat quite a lot.

Healthy smoothie for breakfast everyday, banana, peanut butter, almond milk, honey, multivitamin, 1-2 raw eggs depending how much of other ingredients, raw greens I like kale, you get the picture, that one tastes super good btw
Then go for a little walk/jog around the neighborhood, can do before smoothie as well.
Then do 100 pushups throughout the day, 5x20 is good
This is minimum what I do to stay in shape, if you want to go a step further lift upper body 2-3 times a week and lower 2-3 a week, lower is more important imho Don't forget core, a quick 5 min core workout every other day is nice

Well, fat lost first, then muscle gain. OP NEEDS fast progress to fuel his motivation.
Also, I doubt muscle eats fat. Fat cells can't disappear, only shrink. They can't transform to muscle either...muscle can grow on top of it though.fat grows on top of muscle
I'm pretty big and I run a lot went from 250(middle school) to 117(high school) to 141(today). It took me 2 years to develop the density of muscle I have today...it's a long process, but well worth it.
Genetically speaking, your body has a preset amount if muscle you can grow per year. Each person is different. Getting lean is a fun challenge if one is persistent

Not literally eats dude.
Muscle mass requires energy to be sustained. Building muscle increases metabolism. Energy (calories he is consuming) will be less likely to fatten OP.
And, did you just say muscle grows on top of fat?
