Thanks for replying. Been taking grill chicken chop(without skin) for lunch past few days and it feels back to usual, energetic working out. By the way, I'm keen in adding some muscle mass and change my fats to muscle. Should I consume Super Mass Gainer? or it would be better if I consume Whey protein? Any brand recommendations?

Just had to stop you right there, you cannot change fats to muscle.
You can lose fat, you can gain muscle. But you cannot directly transform one to the other.

As muscle gain is one of your goals, protein is essential. Supplement if you can't get enough so go for whey protein. You can ditch the mass gainer. Remember to track your protein intake to meet your daily requirement, don't take a couple of shakes today then forget to take any the next day. Assuming your workout has it covered, you can try macronutrient cycling to drop your fat percentage. Normal carbs on training days, low carbs on off days.

Wanna ask, I'm starting my diet and exercise from tomorrow onwards. Here is my plan:

Everyday doing Taebo for 30min ( Actually entire course is 50min but their movement are too energy wasted, so i start from 30min )

Morning breakfast ( Oak Cereal like Quake + milo + apple ).

Afternoon Lunch ( 2 Slices of bread with abit of magarine and brown sugar, please let me know if there is any other combination as everyday eat this will get tired.)

Night Dinner ( 1 bowl of brown rice with vege and some meat, depend what my mum cooks. )

Additional Info: Sleep early to prevent hunger during midnight as I have a habit of eating something during midnight.

Is it ok? I tried it out today with 2 slices of bread + tuna in the morning and afternoon with 2 slices of bread + brown sugar. But I start to feel weak and really really hungry during work.....

hi everyone.. just want to share my weight loss journey from 70kg to 60kg in 5 month..

im started to notice myself looks plum in every picture, my height is only 165cm .. thats when i decide to do something ..lose fat and get athletic..

im using iphone apps call DailyBurn..its food+workout tracker where I need to key in my daily calorie intake... using the goal in the apps. my calorie requirement is between 1200-1400 per day to loose 0.5 kg per week.. i had try other apps but personally feel dailyburn is more intuitive and easier to add new food and find asian cuisine.. other apps mostly american food

for the workout part.. i go to gym every saturday and doing 15 min warmup.. 45 min weight training and 30 min cardio.. (either treadmill or eliptical).. other day 1-2 times per week I will do fasted workout( no food only black coffee) .. my favourite is workout series from Menshealth and zuzana bodyrocktv around 45 min..

feel free to follow this style.. its working as I have been there and done that icon_idea.gif icon_idea.gif


Added on September 20, 2011, 4:46 pmanother thing to add.. I do take blackmore's fish oil as supplement .. very good as it helps to aid weightloss and improve muscle recovery..

Nope, all depends on cal in vs cal out. Supplements help, but what really matter is your diet.

1 Pound of body fats roughly equals to 3500 calories. (1kg = +/- 7000 calories)

Let's say you are 160cm and weigh 70kg.

Your ideal weight should be at 56kg.
So you want to lose 14kg to reach your ideal weight.

That means you need to lose a total of 7000 calories X 14kg = 98,000 calories

Healthy weight loss plan is losing 500g-1kg per week.
So let's take the easier one, which would be 500g per week.
14kg / 0.5kg = 28 weeks (6 and half months) to lose that.

98,000 calories / 28 weeks = 3500 calories per week.
So you need a calorie deficit of 500 calories per day.

Fill in the details into this site here and post the details here so that I can comment more.

For the level of activity, remember to choose sedentary.

You will fail.

Never go below 1200 calories. Even that is already extreme.

About 1700 calories on food intake would be okay even if you don't exercise much. If you do exercise, it's gonna be a bonus as fat loss will be expedited.

Make sure the diet consists of vegetables, fruits, grains, lean meat, and dairy products. refer to mypyramid.gov

Weight loss should be a gradual process, about 500g to 1kg per week, and not overnight.

You don't need any fat burner at the moment, just consistent diet and exercise.

1200 is quite extreme I would say, even for females.

You should be taking 1800 first, that is a little bit less than a normal healthy person's diet at 68kg bodyweight.

You will see weight loss without much exercise. Want it to be faster? Exercise.

That's good. You might want to compare with nutritiondata.self.com just to double confirm that the figures are accurate.

That amount of calories is pretty good! Make sure it is a healthy balanced diet, as can be seen in the proportions depicted here http://www.choosemyplate.gov/

Will whey protein makes you fatter if drink it on normal day ? Should it b taken only if I do cardio or only effective if carry weight?


Added on September 24, 2011, 8:35 amI'm surprised that weight loss goal is not to cut out calories to lower level for beginners as this will have lesser effect for metabolism to burn fats. For fat people, they still need to eat as normal not to trigger any misconception in their system . Is this right?


Added on September 24, 2011, 8:37 amShould protein be taken daily to allow the body system to accept the new change so that muscle gain can be improve or just take it whenever you like it?

@hackwire

1. whey protein wont make you fat, unless u are talking bout mass gainers. whey protein are just supplements to supplement your protein quantitiy and as a quick replenish for post workout.

2. before setting a weight loss goal, you firstly need to look into alot of factors, personal lifestyle, daily consumption, types of exercise, etc etc etc, body fat level, height.When all these are clear, den you are only free to proceed with 100% success. This is a very personalized procedures as everyone has different metabolism and their body react differently.

*Feel free to pm me for advice and tips ( i wouldnt wan to spam this thread and get black listed.. >.> )

3. This is just to your preference, i experimented on the differences between using protein and without ( 4 months duration).

@wrigleyz , christapher7 and unchainedlullaby.

All very personalized schedules and diet types for each individuals. For example, your body might response well to carbs but not others. Through my experience, i have frens who are "allergic" to carbs, he get fat easily with carbs and not with fats while i have the opposite body reaction.

PM me and i will try my best to help you, advices and tips.
(was once a fatass too, so i understand your feelings.)

regular exercise = how regular ? what do you do in the exercises? btw jog for 10mins and do a few leg curls or sit ups dont really count smile.gif

healthy diet as well how do u define your diet like ?
to gain 10kg in the past 2 months is really intense if ur not like eating atleast 35000 calories a month excess u wont even gain 5kg a month.


p/s: many people overestimated calories they burn and underestimated calories they eat

thats the main reason why they cant lose weight.

Spot on bro. That is the mistake most people who are new at calorie counting make.
Even worst, those cardio machines figure cannot really be trusted.

I had a friend who I was helping her to lose some weight, once when I spotted her in McDonalds for lunch, I asked her "so you already count the calories in your meal?". She say "yeah, the total should be around 600 calories right?". I  doh.gif , considering McD has the nutritional info right on their tray paper, I ask her to look at the nutritional info and see how much calories her Large Spicy McChicken Set contains, turns out :

Spicy Chicken McDeluxe : 615 calories
Regular fries : 413 calories
Regular coke : 213 calories

Total : 1241 Calories (75.9% of daily maintenance calories of 2000)

So yeah one large mcdonald meal and you're almost done for the day.

Btw amazing progress!

Okay I want you to be very very honest here. It might take a bit of your time but trust me it can help you a lot.
I assume you're still going on to your healthy diet and regular exercise. So I want you to list down for the past 1 week (from 25th september to 1st October):

Every single food you have eaten, including their portion size. And I do mean EVERY SINGLE FOOD. Including that small candy you had, your late night potato chips, the can of coke you had in between.

Also I want you list down exactly what exercise you've been doing and how long. For instance, 'Jogging for 20 minutes' etc.

If you can't remember, why not start listing down every food you eat and every exercise you've done from today till next monday. You need to be very detailed when you write down your log.

Then only we can help to see what's wrong with your weight loss plan.
