For those who got stuck in losing weight it's pretty simple, put in MORE efforts. Increase your exercise intensity/volume, reduce your calories intake. Basically, just work harder.

myremi: im a guy and i want to have 6 packs...

A calorie is not a calorie once ppl have insulin resistance.

That's why most of the time, in this thread, we always ask ppl to post up their meals during the day as well as their exercise plan and their BMI.

hmm.. my friend once told me i don't look like how i weight. maybe i'm suppose to be heavier but my bone mass is pretty low.. i guess i need ways to remove flabs.. any tips?

synchun : with 6 packs, hmmm... you may have to read up on it. google "The truth about abs" - they have a free booklet that you can use as a reference and free newsletter. Then go googling on how to get 6-packs. It's not exactly easy but possible with sheer determination.

priscilla : hmm..you may need to google a bit on strength training for ladies. There's quite a few websites around with free information.

to the both of you : one thing about this thread is that we can't exactly give you exact advice because there's quite a lot of different ways to go about it, depending on your goals. So ultimately, you would still need to have to read up about it.

well i calculated, i have

19% body fat,

22.75 BMI

65kg and 169cm

so what should i do ? bulk or cut? i have a belly popping out while my other areas a skinny

moyong: Your weight is quite ideal for your height. You aint fat neither your BF is high.

To get rid of the lil spare tyre, you may wanna do some cardio with some weight too...tone up abit......or bulk abit with proper diet...

Hmm....how big is that belly? If it's higher than 90 cm, then in the future, you might be developing insulin resistance and syndrome X, which are the precursors for type 2 diabetes.

cilakak...I remember clearly my beer belly is all becoz of beer intake plus those snack.........

alcohol is EMPTY CALORY....and it slows down a person metabolism rate. It distorts your dream to lose weight.

For those involve in the FATSO 30-Day Challenge, please try to stay away from alcoholic drinks. If you happen to drink, go easy....and compensate more with cardio the following day and keep yourself hydrated.

beer, hard liquor share the same effect?

i dont drink beer, maybe wine and hard liquor, but very rare occasion like half a year once. But once i drink usually it's a party and usually out of control, like more than half bottle per person.

half-yearly...I wont be worry about it......

the effect should be the same...empty calories...slow down metabolism....but their caloeries of each type of liquor could differ.

p/s: I am a beer lover.but now been reducing alot...

hmm.. wanna ask drinking alchohol will coz of the diet ?

kindly amend your question. I cant get the meaning.

i mean, when we drink alcohol do it effect our diet ?

YES.....

drinking alcohol will dehydrate your body. Lesser water is not good for fat metabolism in the liver. The liver needs water.

alcohol will also lower metabolism rate.....i..e the next morning, if you eat the same breakkie, lunch and dinner, your body aint burning as much calory if you didnt drink.

and normally when you drink, you tend to munch something...ranging from peanuts, ikan bilis or chicken wing...those are fat and fried stuff....imagine the calory there?

Short-term effects of alcohol : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-term_effects_of_alcohol

Long-term effects of alcohol : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_effects_of_alcohol

One of the reasons why I stop alcohol binging was that I saw how a long-term drinkers face look like for a lady. I don't ever want to look like a person who is recovering from stroke.

oh no.... i should drink less when going to clubbing but normally in the next morning i cant able to eat anything coz my stomach is full with gas but when reach evening dinner time i'll be very very hungry until i can eat so much Just worry this kind of situation will hunting me now while im dieting

well my belly is around 33inch now.... haha just that before i started working i walked around college so i was a bit skinnier now start working keep eat then sit so fat up a bit already.... the belly

well the things i eat that is always consistent everyday is a cup or horlicks with condensed milk twice a day morning and night. then some snacks at night like bread, biscuit, sometimes fried noodles (like ho fun but not always)

morning i eat bread sometimes bread from bakery those buns or cakes.....

lunch eat rice... sometimes noodles...... occasionally fast food like mcd.....

well thats about it....

my whole body is getting fat... because when i jingle my arm and thigh can see the fat like jelly haha so i tot want to get some muscle and reduce the fat.....

problem is that i have no equipment to exercise >.<

At college time, my waist is 28inch.......after working, it hit 36inch.....due to lower metabolism rate, alcohol, sedentary lifestyle, more food available, laziness, etc..........we have to turn things around to stay healthy.

FAT is pretty biased.....They distribute even to your thigh, hand, back, arse, etc....but they do practice favouritism ....they gave more to the waist.........hehehe

Running will not require any equipment. Climbing stair will be a good choice....try Batu Caves.....pm...I can join u there.......

You may get a set of dumbbell to some weight stuff...for bicep, tricep, lat, shoulder, etc.........

If financially more stable, do consider joining a gym....go there for workoout......

what you mean by stat?
