No offense taken, muchacho. Drink lots of water! Belly fat dude over here, too!

Oh... if you can, ditch the 3-in-1. Take oats + low fat milk or fruits. Natural and tastes good.

You only do jump rope? Try HIIT for more effective result.

Your plan is doomed to failure in the long term. Too strict diet, no counting calories. Too much cardio. My sister and i eat bacon or burgers daily, no cardio just a half hour of weight training 3-4 times a week. And we're in the single digit bodyfat..My post is not to ridicule you but to educate. It doesn't matter how healthy your meals are even if oats or brown bread. You may still be overeating or undereating. And if you eat too little, your body will retain fat and lose lean muscle tissue hence making you get fat easier. What makes diet successful is long term adherence. You're supposed to ENJOY dieting.
Eat too much healthy food way above cal intake and you will still get fat.
Eat in moderation with nasi lemak and doughnuts but if you still count calories you WILL lose fat. I promise you.

And before someone tells me those foods are unhealthy, i'm a doctor and my sister is a medical sales rep. And our blood tests are perfect.

thanks for the reply,

i'll try to improve my meals from time to time, as i'm a student, lives in a rented house, cant afford to have a fridge, so kind of hard to store fruits..

not actually only doing jump rope, i also doing this program called freeletics in the morning as soon as i wake up and i dont know if u can call it HIIT, u can google it if u're not familiar with..

i really hope all the sifus here can encourage me and guide me to the right way. really hard for a guy who used to wake up late everyday, not taking breakfast, not drinking a lot of water, always eat bad foods and suddenly changed to a better and healthy life...

can suggest me some effective ways in losing belly fat? i mean using dumbells for exercise to reduce belly fat

Hey guys,
Sleep deprivation causes weight gain. When you don't have enough sleep, your body tries to compensate by consuming more.
Just in case you don't know or simply forgot, so here's a gentle reminder.

Read more:

“It’s not so much that if you sleep, you will lose weight, but if you are sleep-deprived, meaning that you are not getting enough minutes of sleep or good quality sleep, your metabolism will not function properly,” explains Michael Breus, PhD, author of Beauty Sleepand the clinical director of the sleep division for Arrowhead Health in Glendale, Ariz.

On average, we need about 7.5 hours of quality sleep per night, he says. “If you are getting this already, another half hour will not help you lose 10 pounds, but if you are a five-hour sleeper and start to sleep for seven hours a night, you will start dropping weight.”

Exactly how lack of sleep affects our ability to lose weight has a lot to do with our nightly hormones, explains Breus.

The two hormones that are key in this process are ghrelin and leptin. “Ghrelin is the ‘go’ hormone that tells you when to eat, and when you are sleep-deprived, you have more ghrelin,” Breus says. “Leptin is the hormone that tells you to stop eating, and when you are sleep deprived, you have less leptin.”

More ghrelin plus less leptin equals weight gain.

“You are eating more, plus your metabolism is slower when you are sleep-deprived,” Breus says.

Something I seriously need. Have been getting only 4-5 hours' sleep recently

So, let's say if I get up at 4am (slept at 11-12 at night), does that mean I am sleep deprived? I always go get some water, sit down, and 15 minutes later I go back to sleep.

I get 2-3 hours a night. Damn. For years.

seriously?! Wow. 4-5 hours (or less) of sleep for weeks and I barely feel human.

Doctor plus chronic insomnia for years. Screwed up combo.

HAHAHAHA! What do you prescribe for patients with similar condition?

Death. Use a spoon to the eye

My suggestions :-
STOP cardio. Why? If you use cardio, you don't know if it's your diet working or just cos of the cardio. NEVER do both cardio.and calorie deficit. 1 variable ( is easier to tweak) which is your food take compared to 2 variables (diet and cardio). Once you get diet right, THEN cardio to shed stubborn fat.
2. Calculate calories.
3. I'm anti cardio for fat loss, I'm or cardio for hearth health. BIG difference between weight loss and FAT loss. It should be renamed fat loss thread.
4. Make dieting fun. Nasi lemak or cheeseburgers are allowed IF it fits your total caloric daily intake.
5. Flexible dieting. Not avoiding foods you like but not going crazy on them either.
6. Don't rush..The slower you lose fat the longer it stays off.
7. Brown rice and white rice, no difference. It's cals in vs out which matters.

Beats me la. I've been struggling all my life.

This is good advice.

Trust me when i say i know my Shit. Like I.said, my sis and i don't do cardio, we eat pancakes, chocolate chip cookies and waffles on weekends, no fat burners. No starving. And my sis is more ripped than me. You can do it. Flexible dieting, calorie counting and weight training is the key.

I was 45kg iny teens, then overweight at 93 kg, dropped to 70kg and maintaining single digit bodyfat year round. So i had a skinny phase, a fat phase. I know how you all feel. Been there done that. If i can do it so can you! Have faith.
