Eat small frequent meals, cardio twice a day, lots of water = watch the fat fall off.
Believe it or not, starving yourself is worse than anything. You may lose some weight, but you'll feel like shit and gain it all back when you start eating again -- and you WILL start eating again.
The trick is to keep your metabolism up by keeping it working all day long. This means snacking(healthy) so your metabolism never stops. Seems counter-intuitive, but it works. Also, make the first meal of the day the biggest, and taper them off as the day goes on. Don't make a huge production out of dinner, keep it small and light.Last edited by bronco67; 01-02-2010, 04:31 PM.

Some real good advice in this thread.
On the one hand potatoes on their face seem pretty good to eat as they are only like 200 calories (without topping)
But I noticed they do seem to make the weight go up when you lean on them. Mybe they soak up a lot of water and the weight is only temporary. I have heard some people say to eat potates as a way to keep filled up without too many calories. So I am unsure about potatoes. They are a starch and certainly flour will fatten you. But one is a grain and one a vegtable so I don't know what to think on potatoes.
But real good advice on frequent small meals. You have to get in the habbit of smaller portions but more often. It can be hard to not fall back into old portion sizes and eat too much.
Its all about what you percieve that you need to eat (at a meal) and what you really need to eat.Last edited by Vjo; 01-02-2010, 04:56 PM.Comment

Consuming fewer calories than you burn usually does the trick.
But if your idea of reducing calories is to eat a bag of chips a day instead of two, you won't see much progress. ;)Comment

And remember it takes 20 mins for the stomach to signal the brain.
So for an experiment next time you are fairly hungry (but not famished) have about 50% as much of whatever you usually have. Eat it. You'll prob feel hungry yet. Wait 20 mins and sure as heck you are not that hungry anymore.
In all this portion control and smaller frequent meals the stomach really does shrink.
And this is something you must watch out for. Say 2 weeks into smaller meals you get hammered one night or something and forget your new portion sizes, you can very easily over eat and "pull a gut" on less food than you could eat just 2 weeks back. Happened to me more than once.
Must recondition the mind to proper serving sizes. Somewhere you (we) went over that line.Last edited by Vjo; 01-02-2010, 05:15 PM.Comment

Also physical activity is not a license to hog out.
For example I did full snow removal 3 out of 4 days and on my feet walking at least 2 hours/day. Trouble is I felt with all that activity I earned the extra slice of pizza , the extra chocolate chip cookie (made with palm oil and good ingredients, a "reward" tempting me hehe) ect ect. Yeah I seen the snow coming and had some comfort foods to fuel me thru this snowstorm.
and guess what after day 4 I actually gained 4 fucking lbs. What a ball buster.
So yeah you have to work out and also maintain portion control.
Sheesh this shit is so hard. So many ways to f up. lol

For a young tough buck like yourself the best way is counting calories with maybe a little jog or walk 3 times a week.
Prob work for me too.
I did that at about age 25.. went from 210 to 190 (at about 6' 2)
hehe back then I thought 6' 2' and 210 was getting a bit tubby hehe I d go back to that now.
But yeah it does work but takes will power.
When you get to a certain age, you just want to keep in reasonable shape. Counting calories is too drastic and would cramp my style way too much for what it's worth.
You need to know how much to eat. That is where thin people are in touch and fat arent.
At 25 that shit is easy tho.
Look up your rates at weightwatchers.com and begin counting calories.

Good solid info JC. Amen brotha. Agree on not eating processed foods. I prepare all my own stuff from scratch usually beef oriented (i know I know) and also some baked chick breasts. Point is, if I eat any processed foods, I well, frankly I would be sleeping instead of jousting with you young bucks.Originally posted by Jesus H Christ
How do you feel on dairy? Say maybe 3 oz cheese/day on ave figuring in what is on a pizza once in a while say twice a week.
My weeknesses. Sweets. and Cheese. Esp late.
Also Albacore tuna is great!

Eating several smaller meals during the course of the day is the way forward coupled with exercise using higher reps.Comment
