is it true tht i should drink 1 liter of water as well before starting?morning jog i mean

Where did that come from? I have not heard of it (then again I'm not a jogger/ runner, so I have no idea). But drinking 1L of water before jog... won't it disrupt your workout as you'll need to go to the loo soon? lol If i'm not mistaken the reason should be to keep you hydrated.

lol.my friend told me.btw,still nt so clear abt lipo 6 uc black. should take before workout or fixed time is before bfast and bf lunch?

Hi everyone!
I need to lose weight!
I am someone who usually don't give a f*** about my weight, but after I weight myself just now, I'm 100 kgs! (Height is around 183) A lot of people also said I gained a lot of weight this summer break! (20 to be exact, I used to be 80!). Now, I wish to lose until ~70kgs (or as much as I can) before CNY.

I plan to change my eating habits (which I think contributes a lot in my weight gain, I eat crazily!).
I'm going to cut a lot of meat and consume more vegetables.
For breakfast: Alternating around fruits (banana or papaya) with milk smoothie OR hot powder low fat milk (is it recommended? My mom always says that I need to drink) with 2 slices of whole meal toast.
OR if I'm in a hurry, I can just grab a tuna sandwich (same as lunch).
Lunch: 2 slices of tuna sandwich (bought from university store, fresh made) + apple.
Dinner: Lots and lots of vegetables (make a salad). What vegetables do you guys recommend? I can only stock up once (twice at most) each week as I am quite busy with uni, and also what salad dressing do you guys recommend?
Meat (boiled chicken/canned tuna) + boiled egg included in the salad every Tue, Thu, and Sat.
Brown rice with pan grilled fish every Sunday.
Add fruit if no consume fruit in the morning.
Eat salad everyday, can feel like a goat ady.

I plan to add on my exercise too, after reading this thread. Here are my plans:
- I found about HIIT training, and planned to do that in the morning and afternoon (30 minutes each session).
- Change transport method to uni (by walk, not by bus anymore).
- Hit the gym twice a week at least (Do treadmill? I'm planning to get weights so I can do weights at home, I am a tactile learner, so I tend to concentrate learning while doing other stuffs while learning, and in this case, I'm going to learn while doing weights xD).

Any more ideas?

I took before. If I remember CORRECTLY (you'd better Google to verify) last time I took 2 in the morning before meal and 2 in the afternoon before meal. But I started off with 1 in the morning and 1 afternoon before increasing it to 4 per day.

If you're working out, I suggest you take it 30min to 1hour before workout but do eat something after you have taken lipo.

u sure urs was lipo-6 the ultra-concentrated black one?cz i remember u cn only take max 2 pills per day.1 at 1 time.

Somebody just give me an advice on weight loss. He said it's okay if you don't want to go to gym, but just by watching my diet. He gave me this formula called a quarter plate formula. You separate the plate into 4 parts. each quarter is filled with different type of food; Carbohydrate(rice, bread, potato etc), meat (Beef, mutton, fish etc), Veggies and fruit. And drink only plain water. what i forgot to ask is if the way the food is cooked matters. What if i eat a stir fried veggies instead of steamed one? or fried potato, or curry mutton?

I remember mine was Lipo Black. Don't think it's the ultra-concentrated version. If that's the case why not tryout with 1 pill a day first?

Gym is optional but you can always workout on your own - jogging, brisk walking, functional training etc at home.

lol quarter plate formula is old school. It only helps you to plan your meal and eat in moderation - eg. 2 servings vege, 1 serving of carbs, 1 serving of meat etc and 1 serving of fruits. The way your food is cooked matters la. Imagine fried chicken vs steamed chicken, which has higher calories?

Stir fry is fine. Fried potato ...bake or steam it is healthier. Curry not altogether bad - just the santan isn't good. Anyway don't take it often la, have some whenever you like but limit them.

ok thanks.

Just watch out for the gravy that normally contains sugar.

Is your life active, like lots of walking and standing? Or else you should exercise in order to lose weight.

Gravy contains sugar? you mean the potato gravy?

i'm a little confused on my workout plans.

recently i started my 1200 cal diet plan.
(keeping track via myfitnesspal.com).

But i still go for my daily 5.5km jog after work.
Then i continue on with lunges and weights/sit ups at home.
Occasionally, i feel dizzy after all these.

I have read around that hunger kills muscle. Trying to avoid that by exercising while i maintain my 1200 cal diet. I feel SUPER HUNGRY sometimes (around 4pm-ish)

Am i not eating enough?

managed to reduce my body fat from 30% to 25% in one and a half month time
Muscle mass increase as well.

Well, i did cardio, weight lifting, outdoor cycling and etc.
Not an easy task but i'm happy with it.

Hey guys, can anyone tell me what's the difference between MULTIGRAIN, WHOLEGRAIN & WHOLEMEAL? Went to the supermarket just now and was really confused with all of that. Which one of them is good for fat burning btw?

Bread? None.

You need to check your TDEE, not necessarily you have to maintain 1,200kcal. It might have been too low for you and that's why you're feeling dizzy?
You can calculate via this: http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html



lol bread is bread, there aren't much difference. In fact, wholemeal bread contains almost the same calories as white bread if not more.

The only things that burns fat is exercise eating whatever type of bread won't help you burn fat.

Why 1200 kcals? Imo that is too little considering you do workouts everyday.

What's your goal? You seem to be concerned with muscle loss and yet I doubt you're eating enough to sustain, let alone grow.

Need more details.

Had been on low carb diet for 2 weeks ended last week.
Lost 2 kg but damn low on energy.

eat more fruits?

More protein and some coffee perhaps?
