Re: i need to lose weight FAST

walking makes you hungry and doesnt burn much fat


do some weights

and some intense cardio

and cut down on your kilojoule intake.


and if you ever binge.... i guess you can always top it off with nulax. haha

Re: i need to lose weight FAST

These should help

Never run. Don't be the idiots who run and are fat. They are burning carbs, not fat. If you have high heart rate, the body uses carbs (stored energy). Where as low heart rate at constant will force your body to burn fat.

Make sure you know your maximum heart rate and target heart rate.

220-your age. x 70%
It should be around 145 beats per minute. It means you should walk but should not sweat as much.

Eat low GI foods.

No you don't. If you depleted your carb level, your muscle will become source of energy.

Can't you people don't know how to walk? It's not hard to lose fat. Just workout smarter, not harder!

Re: i need to lose weight FAST

Ok, I've stopped lurking just to tell you this.

These people don't have any idea what its like to cut effectively. My tip, Rippetoes. Heavy lifting, clean up your diet and because of n00b gains you'll be losing fat and gaining muscle at the same time.

PS: Stick to the free weights, and stay away from anything with cables and/or pulleys. Also, no curling; squats are you money lift.

Re: i need to lose weight FAST

If u r finding it hard to control what u r eatin, i have a theory and it works...

POST ITS!!!!

Seriously, stick them all around your kitchen, on the biscuit jar, on the fridge wherever, and wirte things that will give you an incentive to NOT EAT

I write things like "Formal" etc, to give me an incentive to stay thin so i can look good at the formal etc...
It is really good, it stops u from eating crap....
But u should also execise each day, even doin half an hour of fast walkin etc, will help.
Also maybe try doin some situps etc, start doing 50 and then slowly increase that amount each day.

GOOD LUCK

Re: i need to lose weight FAST

Breakfast- Cereal
Lunch- Sandwich- preferably one with vegetables i.e salad sandwich
Dinner- Piece of meat/fish and salad
Exercise- Between 45mins-1hr[per day] or joining a sports team it depends

Hope that helps
That's a shit diet. Cereal? How is that going to help him? There is a big difference between fruit loops and porridge. More generally, there isn't enough food in that diet and there aren't enough meals. Three meals is no where near enough. You want 5-6 at the minimum.

walking makes you hungry and doesnt burn much fat

do some weights

and some intense cardio

and cut down on your kilojoule intake.
In fact, a good walk/slow jog will burn more fat that an intense run.

once you burn all your carbs you burn fat.
But you don't have to wait until you have depleted glycogen levels before you can metabolise fat for energy. By doing low intensity, longer duration cardio, you will use more fat for energy in the first place. Further, you don't want to deplete your muscle glycogen.

PS: Stick to the free weights, and stay away from anything with cables and/or pulleys. Also, no curling; squats are you money lift.
I think that is a bit extreme. Cables have their place.

To the threadstarter: most people will tell you losing weight is not rocket science, followed by an unhelpful statement such as "eat less". Nutrition is far more complex and I would advise that you do your own research.
