1st of all the approach is also wrong. Getting slim is about getting a few components work together
- correct diet and food,
- enough supplements,
- correct exercise,
- sleep well,
- drink well (minus beers and brandy).

Understand your body existing structure (obese, fat, average, thin), your internal fats (visceral fats), your weight and height, your target weight, time to achieve that and long term plan. Various method are combine to achieve the desired result. There is no such 1 program give you everything. One of the TV program you should see is "The Biggest Loser" and you will learn even more. Obese will need to go for different plan while, average ppl will go for different plan to achieve your desired target weight and body shape.

oh well, let me highlight which area is the wrong approach...

1. asking ppl to stop gym fearing that they will eat more after gym. come on.. gym for exercise. those exercise actual reason is to break your muscle. consume protein to help rebuild back the muscle. muscle won't grow by itself unless exercise and movement. hence, don't stop go gym. go if you have the chance. fear to eat more after gym? no fear, prepare some quick protein fix such as banana, protein drinks, and have more water please. after the meal will reduce your hunger. no one ask you to go for char keow teow or hokkien mee after your gym. you are killing yourself.

2. consume fibre avoid cholestrol and fat. consume fibre is a good dietary but human need cholesterol to build testosterone, build cell, bile acids and helps you to digest fat-soluble vitamins. check the stats @ wiki. you need reduce cholesterol intake especially from animal fats and trans fats (normally came from fast food). fat? you need fat but ina reduce manner. you can't stop take fat, it appears in all your dishes. stop eat fatty dishes, yes.

ultimately weigh loss is about cutting down your fat percentage and increase your muscle buildup. then only man can see the loss of tummy (on the way building your 6-pax) and lady can see their body shape coming out.
