im not talking abt losing weight bro... just some small2 exercise ON TOP of my gym routine. yes, as a normal person i do plan on watching tv instead of exercising 24 hours a day. my question was if there's any good 'mini-exercise'. if there's no such thing, then a "no" would be a sufficient answer thank you!

anyway, went arnd looking for good soya bean drink today. is this any good? not sure what defines as good

High in sugar. Not good.

If for any reason you can't take dairy, plain soy milk will be good. But I don't know if it's sold in Malaysia? Does anyone know?

There is no 'good' or 'bad' foods. Only cause and effect, and how the food you eat affects what you aim to achieve.

Is oatmeal good for a regular breakfast after a good cardio workout in the morning?

Can't deny what the other forumers said are true, it's up to one to decide your routine and of course you bear the effect la.

Of course, there is a huge different between a routine of getting obese/overweight to normal and a routine of getting normal to fit/athelete/body builder body.

If you guys are just targeting weight lost and a better health, watch out on food (calorie intake and nutrition) and working out (energy ouput).

I believe you guys know how the equations work.

To be exact, even sleeping consumes energy. But you wouldn't expect someone that sleep 23 hours and eating for 1 hours as same size as someone that stand for 23 hours and eating for 1 hours.

For food, if you can't really have a clear mind of what is "good" or "bad", you must really learn from books or nets while meanwhile skipping all oily food especially fried stuffs when you are not at home. If those are really too tempting for you, too bad la. But there's some little thing you can do about it, removes all the skins like what some girls do in MCD & KFC. Less manufacturing sugar especially in drinks. Avoid alcohols and carbonate drinks.

For non-workout exercise, walk up and downstairs instead of elevators; park your car far a bit also made sense; On top of that, if you love watching TV, watch it while doing sit-ups or push-ups. If you really can't miss your show, made use of the advertisement time then.There will be a break every15mins, around 2 or 3 mins, do some lunges and sit-ups. Watching TV for 2 hours means that you had did about 8 sets of short spot-workouts.

Jumping jacks, skipping, prisons squats, holding plank are all things you can do to workout when you are not in your gym or workout session.

If those movements are a bit too much in an office, just stand with one leg and start doing calf raises.

Things that someone do in a circuit training can always being break into small things that you do when you are free.

But bear in mind, body builders and fit people wouldn't bother to do it because these are just ain't enough to build up muscle or endurance.

But for overweight people (especially those lazy ones), these are things that burn a few more calories.

Remember every calorie count when bringing an overweight to normal.

P/S: For people that been out of shape, it's very very important to know why changes occur, and no one can be a magician and undo everything at once. BUT, it's so important that the first step is taken, that's trying to improve and then PLEASE never ever give yourself a reason why you should stop yourself from gaining a better health and shape.

happy working out. =)

i already read all the pages. so like this?

breakfast : boiled egg,milk
nuts
lunch : steamed chicken or fish
evening : jogging
dinner : oat?

how that?

u must know the theory behind it.. later you eat only.. no effect .. also doing nothing ler..

calories in must less than calories out
reduce too much on food intake will let ur body in starvation mode..

so, balance it with calories in and high energy level usage..

how? aiyo. like this i go see specialist diet take advise. because im not understand at all. hehe

You can start like this. No problem.

You missed our point.
Instead of us working out the diet for you, now you want to go to a specialist to work it out for you. What we're saying is, learn and work it out yourself. Learn.

It's like driving a car. When we tell you we won't drive you, you go get a driver to drive you instead. Wouldn't it be easier to learn how to drive? So everytime you want to do something, you won't have to get someone to do it for you?

tq for the point. i just need guidance to start new life. when come to 23years old i just want my 19years old health life back.

thx again

no body is born to know everything

well its up to you, tell you what, start by changing bits by bits and not entirely change your lifestyle. Make it a good habit and not because you change drastically and after achieving it and then slack again.

most ppl will appreciates advices if it involves money, they appreciate them better when they have to pay a sum of money for the advices. that is why u dont see successful ppl giving free advices. because all the advices goes down the drain and not being practiced.

good luck with ur weight loss

chill bro. im 23 too n justttt starting on this health thing hehe. never bothered before. even at 19 i was pretty fat already

here's what i did to really push myself: sign up for a gym. i took a 3-month plan (will only be in kuching in 3 months) n paid the full sum. like this, i will feel rugi if i dont go to the gym, so i make sure i go every weekdays after work. i think ~95% of my weekdays i go gym

n of course, i dont want to pay so much money, spend so much time n effort at the gym, but not lose weight right? so the gym in turn push me to take care of what i eat

hmnn, i was hoping to get more informative advice from the experienced here with regards to my earlier request for suggestions on food types to order for good breakfast.

Unfortunately i'm better off searching for online articles and other sources which puzzles me why bother even starting a thread like that if it isnt to help those whom like me are genuinely trying hard to loose weight and ask a simple question but get bombarded with answers that doesnt even answer my request for help in the first place let alone relate to it.

anyways, sorry for being a bit hard on words as i feel its just the correct response manner in return.

and Chicaman....to answer your earlier question...yes i am loosing weight
I was 67kg only 2.5weeks ago...i'm currently at 65kg.

i am just concerned about nutrition for breakfast, and whats best to choose with regards to my choices of breakfast given my current choices at the lifestyle i'm choosing to live.... thats all...

i also believe that waking up 5.45am and working out in the morning and evening is practically already more than enough discipline, there is no need for me to wake up earlier or whatever you are suggesting

everyone has their own rights to their opinions and mine is decent, i dun think i'm slacking anywhere.....i just doing the best with what i can given my current situation and timeframe

so my advise to you is plz do not simply assume someone is slacking when they are asking for help genuinely

thanks anyways, i'm off to seek help elsewhere...

yeah basically preserved/ canned stuffs contain high sodium (which is why they taste so good ) try avoiding it!

I'm avoiding all kinds of sugary drinks - only take the soya once in awhile for teabreak. When I have lunch etc, it's either chinese tea or plain water.


It's definitely not a workout. It's not a bad idea to do that because you would at least move around more especially for sedentary lives in office.

tedisgodlike>> aiyoyoyo, why waste money seeking a nutritionist when you can get all the info and advice for FOC here?????? Also, you can workout on weekends, unless you're saying you work 7 days a week from 7am to 10pm -_____-||


leong2084>> the very first question everyone would ask you is that:

"Have you gone through at least HALF of the 64 pages?"

If yes, then I believe you'll have an idea/ insight on what sort of advice ppl will provide here. Honestly, we do get annoyed bored when ppl prompt us with the same questions x100 times (and you'll get at least one daily). Basically it's very simple. Go through all the pages, it'll give you whole lot of ideas for food and workout. Create/ schedule your OWN dietary plan - that is something only you can do because we don't know what you usually eat, your environment, habit, body etc. You will know better what's suitable/ works because it could be different for everyone.

Assuming you got everything laid out, THEN you want to check HOW GOOD your plans are (in detail/ brief on your 3-5 meals plan etc). That's where you provide full details and ask for forumers' opinions to add input etc.

chicaman is playing the bad guy here but imo, he's not wrong. If you feel offended, then sorry to say, don't take it too hard. The journey to weight loss is even tougher than that


Frenixo>> Post it in another section pls, not here.

no one forces u bro..

actually it's about trial n error.. eat same thing in one week or two, and see the respond..

After started working in a kitchen as a chef, my weight increase lol, 4kg, my tummy getting big, hehe, then my boss recommend me to go to gym near the area im working, very close, level up fitness. Although i feel realy tired after working, i just go with it, to lose fat and getting fitter, thats all i want to say, hehe

congrat... I hope I can do it

there it goes.. it show ur discipline level is low..

Added on February 17, 2011, 4:37 pmCome on dude, you've been a follower of this thread for quite some time now, you should know that the only way you're gonna improve YOURSELF is if you change YOUR LIFESTYLE. I've got a friend who used to study culinary arts in KL and that fella is fit as hell, coz come on, as a chef, u taste the food, not eat everything up right? haha
But good on you that you're still motivated, just keep the ball rolling and everything will be fine. DON'T BE LAZY buddy
