Here's the deal... I'd like to share my success story with you, and hopefully help some of the overweight webmasters here at GFY. Only thing I ask in return is that you check out my sig... Ok, on with it already...
Fat to Fit... Diet, exercise, and a new way of life... There will be no easy answers in this thread, no fly by night diets etc... this is a lifestyle change that will effect everything you do.
I lost over 100 lbs in less then 1 year... pics below...
Anyway... Here's the basics. If you'd like further info on any specific detail, lmk and I'll enlighten you.
Bottom line, if your healthy... you'll live longer, look better, FEEL better, be more productive, and MAKE MORE MONEY!!! no shit!
Here's the rundown...
Change your diet! Eat clean. This means no fast food, fried shit, BEER(switch to liquer), or things high in sugar. Easiest way to do this is to prepare your meals... Chicken or Fish and broccoli is the mother of all meals... keep that mentality. Proteins, complex carbs, and fiber should be the building blocks of your diet... and you need all of them daily.
Next, learn portion control... Cup your hands together as if you would drink from a pool of water. See how much you could fit in there??? That's 1 meal portion! A typical restaurant lunch/dinner plate will have roughly 2-3 portions. Learn to leave food on your plate, or take leftovers to eat later...
Now that you've learned portion control... We don't want you to starve yourself, so eat a meal every 3 hours! Eat less more often and you'll crank your metabolism to full blast! It takes roughly 3 hours to digest 1 meal ( suggested portion ). This forces your body to constantly be digesting, thus burning more calories.
Think of it this way... If you throw a huge log on a fire it will take hours to burn up and not give off much heat at all. However if you put a bunch of little sticks on the fire, it will burn hot and fast. Your metabolism works the same way with food!
Next... Drink water!!! put the soda down, and attempt to drink 2 gallons of water a day!
Ok, this concludes the first lesson... "Diet and portion control"
here's my pics...
next lesson... "Calories IN vs Calories OUT!"
and remember... see sig!
Ok, now I'm open for questions...
