first and foremost, you have to understand that you need to make a major lifestyle change. you have to be ready for that. you have to want it. second, you have to have a good reason... to live longer, to be healthy for your family or just to see your dick again, to finally bag a hot chick... whatever it is, you need a strong reason that will keep you on track, keep you focused and push you forward when you start to slip.

at the end of the day, its fairly simple science... but often difficult for people to apply.

find your body fat % - the % of body fat you are carrying vs your lean body mass.

find your BMR - how many calories your body needs at rest (without any physical activity)

now you know how much fat you have on your body. you should have a rough idea of how much fat you want to lose.

1 pound of fat = 3500 calories

if you want to lose 10 pounds, you need to burn 35,000 more calories than you consume. at this point you know how many calories a day you need... and how many you need to burn to achieve your goal.

set a goal based on where you want to be. this gives you a realistic timeline, benchmarks etc... and helps you to understand what type of progress you should expect and helps you to know if something is working or not working or to know when what you are doing stops working and you have hit a plateu. it also gives you some info as does the info below to help you to make adjustments in your routine and diet if needed.

plan your meals... so that you are getting the appropriate amount of calories and in the right proportions of macronutrients... minus 500 calories or so per day. use a baseline of 40% of your daily calories from Carbs (low glycemic carbs only), 40% from Protein, 20% from fats (also learn what types of fats you need and should be eating... this is critical!)

so... say you need 2500 per day to just live. you have planned your eating out so that you are getting 2000 cals per day from the right foods giving you a deficit of 500 cals per day.... 500 calories per day x 7 = 3500 or 1 pound of fat loss per week.

a total daily deficit of 500 cals is recommended as being "safe" and also recommended because the slower weight loss gives you a higher chance of helping reprogram your metabolism through this process. losing weight fast will cause your body to fight back. you have to be ready to make a lifestyle change... your diet has to change forever. so, say you were always eating say...3000 cals at 250 pounds. you got down to 180 which requires say 2000 a day to maintain... but typically people continue eating more and in addition to eating more, people who lose too much weight too fast tend to lose a significant amount of muscle which also slows your metabolism down (1 pound of muscle requires on average 50 calories a day). less muscle means your metabolism slows down... which means you have to eat accordingly or regaining the weight is not only easy because your body is a little pissed that you fucked away its precious fat stores... but because you slowed your own metabolism down through muscle loss and require fewer and fewer calories per day to maintain (again - means you always have to know your lean muscle mass and BMR)

add exercise to speed things up if you want. (cardio before breakfast works best) burn another 500 per day. that gives you 2 pounds per week weight loss.

track everything you are doing, write it down, keep notes and be ready to make adjustments. sometimes you need more fat, sometimes less carbs etc. subtle changes can make a big difference and there is a lot of individuality here.

once you have lost weight... remember that you have to continue to change your eating habits or you will gain it back quickly.

or... you can do all the crap everyone else says which makes little to no sense and is only appealing because its easy... struggle, get frustrated and fail.

also you can eat well, do cardio and take ephedra/caffeine/aspirin... or clenbuterol/T3 or go as far as taking DNP which can help you lose about 10 pounds a week... but will probably kill you. but remember that no pill will counter a shitty diet. DNP will but its also an industrial dye not made for human consumption and is shipped as a hazardous material.

remember that no matter what you are doing, you have to be aware of your body composition (how much fat you have, how much lean body weight you have (the rest without fat). "weight loss" and "weight gain" are not the same as "fat loss" and "fat gain". any increased physical activity can lead to a small burst of muscle gain (depending on diet, what you are doing etc) and the scale might show no change when significant fat loss has in fact occured. Cutting all carbs from your diet also causes severe dehydration - a point that few seem to understand while jumping up and down with thier rapid Atkins style success. your body stores water in the subcutaneous layers of skin and in your muscle tissue. it stores water in your muscles ONLY in conjunction with sugar (glucose). the ratio is 1 gram of glucose to 3 grams of water. when you deplete your sugar stores... you piss out the stored water as well... water is heavy, significant and dramatic weight loss occurs quickly... you might lose 10 pounds in 10 days of water weight. eat sugar/carbs, your body can now store water again, significant weight gain occurs quickly, all with no net loss or gain in fat.

its not easy for most people. there is no "one size fits all" answer for most people. we are all individuals and individuality plays a large role (be it our genetics, metabolism or how much physical activity we all actually do in a day).

there are no easy answers. either you want to change and do the work... or you don't :) "Diets" to lose weight are fine. the problem is losing the weight without making the significant lifestyle changes afterwards that caused you to gain the weight to begin with... and people tend to regain the weight.

OK, I can't top this answer. Someone has set the bar too high for us noobs :(

minusonebit 06-07-2006 07:03 PM
So much bullshit going around about diets, when the truth is pretty simple. I have used this general plan to drop 50 lbs this year:

- Remove Beer and Soda/Pop from your intake completely. (Yes, I cheat occasionally).
- Eat a Heavy Lunch and a Light Dinner, Instead of the Other Way Around
- Drink Lots of Water and Fruit Juice
- Never Skip Breakfast. Even if you only have some crackers, you must eat something to tell your body you are awake and it needs to start burning fat. I hate most breakfast food except doughnuts and I had to force myself to eat a bannana or crackers each morning.
- Avoid Buffets and Fast Food, If You Must Eat on the Road, Get a Salad or Something Healthy.

here's a guy that actually took the time to tell the truth about this.

all 100% true. losing weight and keeping it off requires discipline, knowledge, time, and motivation.

but 30 minutes daily exercise AND proper diet will COMPLETELY change your life in positive ways.

hoob 06-07-2006 08:47 PM
I pretty much agree with everything that pleasureplay said, but what he didn't say is how to decide how many calories you are actually eating, how to measure it, etc.

Here is what I did to lose around 30 pounds in 3 months. Granted I was a fat ass and had plenty to lose (went from 240 to 210) but at least I can see my dick now.

Equal amounts of carbs and proteins. I used the simple method of measuring with my hand. I would eat a portion of protein (lean meat or fish) that was roughly the size of the palm of my hand. Same thing for the carbs. I stayed away from pasta and fatty meats. If I wanted a hamburger I used turkey burger instead of ground beef. I also made sure I had a fruit or veggy with every meal. In short, just be smart about what you eat. I ate 5 times a day. I always allowed myself one day to "cheat". That doesn't mean I binged, it just means that on that day I wouldn't worry if the meat was lean or not. I might have a piece of pizza or two etc... just don't go crazy on your cheat day. The only thing I drank was water or coffee or unsweetened tea.

I also worked out 5 days a week. I only worked out for about an hour 3 of those days, and 25 minutes the other 2, but it was an intense workout. The three "long" days was dedicated to weight training. The way I judged if I was working out hard enough is if I could complete all my sets of a certian exercise I wasn't pushing it enough. Be careful with this if you don't have a partner and use your brain. Use dumbells instead of barbells, use machines, use proper form so you don't injure something etc... The other 2 days or my "short" days was dedicated to cardio. I am not a big fan of running, so I rode the stationary bike most of the time. 25 minutes doesn't sound like a long time, but the way I pushed it I couldn't walk for a few minutes after I was done because my legs were burning too much.

I have tried the starvation stuff before and it never worked for me I always ended up binging and gaining more than what I had lost.

I think the key is to realize that if you want to lose weight, you need to make lifestyle changes. You aren't ever going to be able to the way it was before. Just remember the way it was before is what got you in this situation to begin with.

Count the calories that you eat every day. If you eat < 1000 calories a day and work out normally you should slowly loose the weight

Tdog 06-07-2006 09:02 PM
Eat raw, that will do it for ya.

Red Tea
 
Just eat a smaller quantity of food more times a day instead of eating a lot two or three times.
But the best is a cup of red tea after most of your meals - at least 3 per day ...of course, with no sugar

Good luck and enjoy!
:thumbsup

abadfish 06-07-2006 09:28 PM
I love how you started working out in April for the summer. Kinda reminds me how the amount of people at the gym surged in January just to taper back off to normal again in a month or two.

I started working out last November and am seeing great results. I haven't lost nearly as much fat as I wanted and I've only recently dropped a few lbs of weight but I feel better and look better. You just gotta keep with it. Slow and steady and you will see better results and results that will most likely stick with you for life. My goal was to look better this summer too and I do, just not as much as I wanted originally... but that's fine. I've looked like shit the last 10 or so summers, what's another one? :)

i think that telling someone to know thier daily caloric requirements, the exact number of calories per day they eat, calories per meal and how many grams of protein/fat/carbs is in each meal/day, is VERY specific. almost all foods have nutritional info - if not, buy The Encyclopedia of Food Counts by Corrine Netzer (sp?) or go to USDA.gov and look it up and the values and it is also helpful to buy a food scale for greater accuracy.

using some measurement like "the palm of my hand" which some diets recommend, does nothing to give someone a solid understanding of what they are eating, its caloric content and how many grams of protein/carbs/fats is in it. furthermore, it robs someone of the abilitity to accurately reduce or increase their fat, protein or carb intake which is often necessary. how do you measure fat intake at all this way? you can't. you can only guess and hope... and when every gram matters and a single tablespoon of oil (110 cals @ 9 calories per gram = 12 grams) with a single meal, can put a small person over their daily fat requirements, guessing is not an option.

substituting foods for other foods is fine as a general idea... but still, we are talking about how to lose fat... people as a general rule, tend to substitute with foods with similar content/calories because it is what their body is craving... i.e. they eat less fried food and then eat more olives, peanuts etc etc ending up with no net change in calorie intake and satisfied their craving for fat. i am not saying its not a good thing to eat those types of fats, i am saying that must know at all times how much you are eating to the gram. its too easy to substitute food a with food b and have no net change in total calories and macronutrient values. its quite possible to substitute foods for what you "think" is "natural" or "better for you" and end up eating more calories than you thought or than there are in the food you thought was worse for you.

doing it the way i described, fully educates a person and gives them a solid understanding what they were eating wrong, what they should be eating and how they always need to eat, so that they may change their life forever.

MegaPartnerJerry 06-07-2006 10:40 PM
Man thats alot of information, I thank you all! Great advice.

SleazyDream 06-07-2006 10:42 PM

HAPPYPEEKERS 06-07-2006 10:53 PM

MegaPartnerJerry 06-07-2006 10:59 PM

Vitasoy 06-07-2006 11:00 PM
A lot of cardio is the key

kilotoons 06-07-2006 11:04 PM
Yep alternate cardio and weight lifting, do at least 30 minutes each time. Drink lots of water. Walk to the store if it's only a block away instead of driving too.

MegaPartnerJerry 06-07-2006 11:04 PM
yeah thats what I've been hearing, lots of cardo and lots of water, But WTF does water do?

BergyK 06-08-2006 01:45 AM
Don't eat after 7pm. and drink a lot of water Jerry!:thumbsup Good Luck brother.

I have just started at the gym and have started to monitor my performance too. Obviously I just started this week so have no results but after one cardio session at the gym I felt a lot better, although my legs were numb lol..

I fel clearer, I could breathe better, my head felt clearer and I had a great feeling of satisfaction which has pushed me ever further to my goal! I want to loose around 30-50 pounds. I have decided on a one hour session of cardio and a one hour session of weight/toning plus a one hour class of bodycombat per week, also the kids swimming lessons each week are good for me too so that's good.

I have cut my food right down, I eat a proper lunch, I eat steamed fish or chicken with a small portion of rice for the carb factor and steamed veg. George foremans are ace for the chicken if I dont feel like steaming it...

Already Ive noticed a change in my skin and tempremant. Thats only been a week!!!My skin isnt as oily and its smooth and fresh, my attitude has changed, I dont feel moody or grumpy either. Its amazin how much diet and exercise actually contribute in your life.

Im back at the gym tonight doing weights/toning, need to get rid of those love handles lol

One correction, you do not convert fat to muscle.


The formula is simple. Less food intake < Burn more calories

For every one pound of muscle you gain, you burn anywhere from 50 to 100 MORE calories an hour.

Do not take any advice from a message board, go to a dietician/trainer and seek professonal help.

Edited to add.. I didn't notice that Pleasurepays posted, his information is golden.

Jill_J 06-08-2006 08:15 AM
eat less (4 times a day but small portions), drink more (mineral water, green tea, kefir), go to fitness(it is good for men too - you breath more, your heart works better, you move a lot and loose pounds, you do exercises and get perfect muscles), maybe you'll also need a massage course and you'll get good results soon:winkwink:

Listen... IF YOU ARE REALLY SERIOUS.... AOL INSTANT MESSAGE MY PERSONAL TRAINER: "CJG IMPORTS"

i have lost 20 pounds of fat and gained LOTS of muscle in 3 weeks very easily. this guy has the secret formula. i have been working out for like 7 years and have never seen these types of results..

im not about to advertise this formula on this message board.

well a few years ago I had to loose some weight and I was going to the gym on a regular basis for 3 months and nothing until I started watching what I ate and did cardio.
Basically taking in a limited amount of calories. Try those lean cusine dinners at the grocery, there are a ton of them and they are all under 300 calories. buy a variety of those cause that is the simplist way to count calories.
Then do cardio, probably do walking as it is the easiest on the body, however remember that you should do about 6 hours of cardio a week as this is the magic number to loose fat.
It took about 3-4 weeks for the fat to start coming off but when it did it didn't stop. My metabolism sped up and my stomach was a lot smaller and I was loosing 2-3 pounds a week.
If you do hit the gym and do weights it will give your body a lot more definition.

I hurt my back many, many years ago now, and stopped fighting and working out pretty much all together. This year I started fighting again.

January 1st of this year I was 240 pounds, and just about 24% body fat.
Today I am 180 pounds, just about 12% body fat.

How did I do it? Cardio, diet and exercise.

Cardio: I do 1 hour a day, 6 days a week. Varying kinds. Sometimes stationary bike, sometimes I run. Sometimes skip and heavy bag. You get the idea. The only thing I keep in common is I always use a Polar cardiometer. Tells you where your heart rate is exactly, and allows you to stay in the right zones. Personally, I don't believe in doing the fat burning zone all the time. I run my heart as fast as I can keep it up for an hour. At the begining of the week it's 160BPM for the whole hour. Come Saturday, when I'm tired, sore, exhausted, it might be as low as 130 or 135BPM. I consider 130 the lowest I will do cardio at, and I don't let my heart get faster than 160BPM

Diet: http://www.ntwrks.com/~mikev/chart1.html Is a good resource. Basically, I just cut fat completely out of my diet. The only fats I get are naturally in foods like chicken, beef, or in a supplement I take in the morning at night. Other than that, I always use a steamer for vegetables and rice, and teflon pans with pam no calorie spray for anything that's cooked in a pan. When I can, I broil meats and fish. I keep my diet ~2500 calories per day, which is the basic my body needs with no exercise. If I go over a few calories, I don't worry too much, just no fat! I even drink a diet soda here or there, don't let people tell you that will make you retain fat or any other nosense. Finally, one day a week I eat whatever the fuck I want. Personally I still usually eat a healthy breakfast and lunch and just go out for dinner. If you don't reward yourself with the things you like now and then, you'll break down and binge.

Exercise: 3 days a week, with a personal trainer. Abs and lumbar every session. 1 session back and arms, 1 session chest and shoulders and 1 session legs. I also train 5-6 days a week Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Judo or Vale Tudo.

I expect to be 10% body fat or so in the next 8 weeks, then my diet will change and cardio will go down.

Thats fucking insane, what your trainers name? Or at least tell him to be waiting for a guy named Jerry to IM him! And thx a bunch pal!

You can also go on the crack cocaine and nicotine diet. Guaranteed you'll strip the pounds fast that way too!

Remember, you can only safely lose 1-2 pounds or so per week. Anything that has you losing 10 pounds in a week is just stupid.
