no its not.

well, maybe.

its the only fastest way.
u lose fat by doing that.
then after ur thin, u can start a healthy diet to maintain the weight. rite? 

smart am i not? 

thanks pyroboy for you feedback. for now i need to cut some weigh before adding some muscle.

do i need to cycle more or mix jogging i.e 15mins cycle 15mins jogging? is burning 500 calories a day enough? i feel that i can go further but afraid that it might hurt my body if i overdo it.

How many hours must we wait after food before we start to exercise? Sometimes due to time constraint I wait for 2 hours. OK or not?

I drank a can of winter melon tea and the nutrition facts stated 65kcal which means 6500 calories?

65kcal is not kilo calories

hey guys.. im new here and.. erm yeah.. im trying to lose weight    just wanna ask what kind of exercises do you guys recommend. If it really needs me, then i'll scroll thru the 30 pages, but if possible, can u guys tell me 
Well a little about myself. Im over weight, but im darn close to obese and i dont want to fall into that category. I cant do push ups, because im heavy and im not really strong....

I know jogging/cycling/swimming is going to come in, but its been raining morning and evening.. so, if its really a must, i'd try jogging in the afternooon  Im lifting weight and doing sit ups twice a day.

And erm, i heard of eating in small proportion, can u guys tell me what is "small" ?

And erm one more thing is that, after i did situps, the next day i felt a little pain near my stomach area, should u continue doing situps??

Lastly, what kind of warm up and cool down can i do? i know warm up, but cool down , never did it in school.... after pj all go back class change shirt ed...
Hopefully im not asking too much questions. Thanks in advance fo all the help! 

So you're saying this is just something I'm going to have to get used to.

Hello all, this is the first time I'm posting at Health & Fitness session.

I would like to check with you all which brand of low-fat milk that you all recommend for weight loss.

I'm currently drink Dutch lady and was thinking is this a good one.

Thanks all.

Myth I hate #1: I’m afraid weight training will make me put on too much muscle and “bulk me up.”

This is something that usually worries women, at least I don’t know many men that fear putting on too much muscle. “Oh, no, I want to keep this pear shape I’ve got going for my body with twigs for arms.” Yeah, not that common. First off, muscle hypertrophy (getting bigger muscles) is very difficult for women since they don’t have testes to produce testosterone, an androgen (male characteristics) anabolic hormone which is #1 in hormones when it comes to muscle-building. Men produce forty to sixty times more testosterone than women. So as a woman, your chances of getting big naturally (without taking steroids) are minimal coming from weight training. The “toned” and lean look that most strive for comes from having built some muscle on your frame. The more lean body mass (muscle tissue) you have the higher your metabolism gets (burning more fat doing nothing at all), so by missing out on the benefits of weight training you’ll most likely become even fatter or skinny-fat (skinny with no muscle tone, pretty much fat and bone). So, if you still want to keep on doing your treadmills/bikes and cardio burn classes without weight training, and continue your impossible mission for a lean and toned physique, go for it!

Ok, so “bulking up” comes from bodybuilders and other athletes who during their off-season program eat excessive amounts of calories to keep their bodies in an anabolic state to gain as much muscle as possible. During this time, some go overboard and might put on an extra 50lbs, which, during this phase, will make them look fat. You will only get bulky if you eat excessive amounts, like 10,000 calories a day like they do. So, weight training and muscles are not to be blamed, it’s a bad diet that’s to blame for a “bulky” look.

Myth I hate #2: Less calories makes you lose weight, so eating less will make me lose weight and get lean.

There is a difference between losing weight and losing fat. Too many get focused on numbers (“I have to weigh 140lbs or else!”) and end up doing drastic, stupid things to get there. You should only be obsessed with weight if you’re in a sport with weight classes. Like most humans, we seek instant gratification, and end up doing weird and really tough ”cleanses” and diets, or put on a plastic suit and sweat our asses off on the bike. These things will make us lose those 5 pounds in 2 suffering-and-hunger-filled weeks. We then go back to eating normally again and end up putting on weight again and being fatter than we were before our “brilliant” diet or “cleanse”. There are some stupid diets like the “Super Duper Cleanse” where you are only allowed to eat and drink something absurd like 3 liters of water, lemon, half almond and a dash of something random like spicy chipotle seasoning. When you do this your body is put into starvation mode and starts using energy systems like gluconeogenesis, which breaks down amino acids from the muscles to turn it into energy so your body can function. Once you’re done starving yourself and proud that you made it, you have lost some fat, but also lost a significant amount of muscle (lean body mass). So when you go back to a normal diet you will start putting on more weight (unwanted fat) do to a lowered metabolic rate which your muscle that you lost once helped boost up. As I said earlier you’ll end up fatter and have less muscle. Not smart. Short term, it’s an okay method, but long term, you screwed yourself.

Myth I hate #3: I’m afraid that if I stop working out my muscles will turn into fat.

Fat chance… Muscle can’t be converted to fat. If you stop working out, your muscle will atrophy (lose size, if you don’t use it, you lose it) bringing your metabolism down, and if you continue to eat like you did while you were working out without burning those calories like you were before, you will get fat. It’s not because your muscles became fat, it’s because you got fat. So with this myth, does everything else become fat too if I don’t use it, like my bones or my wiener? Stupid.

Myth I hate #4: Running a mile will burn more than walking a mile.

When it comes to calorie-burning, in this case, it’s the distance, not how fast you run, that determines the amount of calories you burn. You’ll burn the same amount running a mile as just walking a mile. Sure, your heart will have to work at a higher heart rate for awhile when you run, which is good for heart health, but if your goal is calorie loss, it doesn’t matter which one you do.

When it comes to losing fat, I would pick the latter, walking. It takes longer which is good for fat burn because it takes about 20min or so for your body to start utilizing your fat as an energy source and the lower heart rates allow your body to use energy systems that are more efficient when it comes to burning fat. Heart rates around 55-60% of your maximum heart rate (220-(your age)=maximum heart rate) for a period of at least 30min is optimal for just burning fat.

Myth I hate #5: I need to get rid of this little “pouch” on my lower abs so I’ll do bunches of ab work for lower abs to get rid of it.

There are two things I would like to bust in this one. First, you can do abs ’til the cows come home and still not get washboard abs. Sure you’ll get strong abs, core strength is always good, but the “six-pack” will not appear by doing that. To get a visual six-pack you have to get rid of the subcutaneous fat, the fat underneath your skin on top of your muscles, to get that desired look. The trick isn’t a machine on a infomercial, the trick is to lose body fat. So diet and cardio is the key to a six-pack. Spot reduction is not possible either, so doing a lot of abs will not burn off the fat on your midsection.

Second, there is no such thing as “working my lower abs”. The rectus abdominis, the outer layer of muscle in one’s abdomen, is the muscle people refer to as their “abs” or “six-pack”. This is one long muscle that starts at the pelvis (pubis or pubic bone) and attaches to the sternum (costal cartilage of ribs 5 to 7 and the xiphoid process). As with all muscles in the body, you can’t contract (“flex”) one part of a muscle and not engage the whole thing. So whatever you are doing for abs, you are hitting the whole thing. Genetics will determine the way your abs look, so you can’t change that 6 pack into a 8 pack, some people have 6, some have 8, it’s just the way it is.

I never cut down on my calories intake on my previous weight loss journey, I went from 115 to 95, anyone from the v1 thread should be able to recognise me.

That was the time when I am still studying in uni, I keep simple rules on my eating.

Eat on time, eat more meals, less carbonate, more protein.
Cut your sodium intake
No process food (this alone makes you have to avoid many food including instant noodles, msg, refine sugar, 90% of the outside food, etc)
Always insist of fresh food
Use a better food preparation way (when you cook you always know what it will go into your stomach)

Other than that I do alternative exercise daily like
Cycling - Jogging - Swimming - hiking - racquet sports etc

Nowadays I think for the exercise part would be a lesser problem since when there's a will there's a way. The more problematic one would be on the food intake. I cant think of anything healthy to be consume in my company canteen.

For me it's simple rules which you keep strictly works.
