In my opinion , just common sense .
Stomach = Meat Grinder
If you put in less meat at a time , the "grinder" will suffer less ?
Instead of piling more than what it can handle.

Hey all,
I'm starting to lose weight lately, but not sure if my method is consider "alright" I go to gym 3 times every week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and sometimes an extra. My routine: 15min cycling + (2-5minute of cooldown *auto set by the machine*) 10min threadmill *speed 4~5.5* + (5minute of cooldown) 10~30min of muscle training (do 4 sets and each set 10 times) lastly, at least Swimming for 20 laps (normally about 20minutes) is that consider okay? |

To reduce belly fat you need to lose total body fat

hey guys are there something wrong with my dietary program? people keep on saying that i look pale and weak nowadays even when there's wind breeze can blow me off. + family also worried that i may not had enough carbs for my brain to function properly for studying purpose. most of them also think that i might have eating disorder.
my weight is 69kg and height 178cm++. waist i think around 32 1/2. used to be slightly obese 89kg now my collar bone are visible and pretty much else can see my ribs too but still failed to get flat stomach. i workout 5 times a week, consist of cardio and weight training. my weekly diet: breakfast- whole grain cereal and milk lunch- probably subway or o'brien sandwiches or white rice with chicken dinner- salad with a few piece of feta cheese and pepperoni snack- fruit like grapes,apple or orange. should i eat more? counting calories kinda pain in the ass, really gave me a headache on where to eat and what to order. from online calories calculator said that i should not exceed consuming calories more than 2k per day. do i need to reduce more weight to get flat stomach or continue with building a muscle? |

^ im facing the same problem with u... maybe because your family used to see u in obese size .. and normally obese person will look fresher. After become thin.. family feel like we're too thin and don't look as fresh as before xD
from your weight i think u are thin enough.. now just focus on the tummy.. do more sit up and waist exercise |

Hi guys, I looking for some advices about weight loss and maintaining it.
To my understanding is that maintaining a calories deficit diet/lifestyle is the way to lose weight and when my calories intake equals my calories burned, my weight maintains. Lets just say if I start a strict diet to lower my calories intake drastically while maintaining my physical activities as per usual (weight training and cardio), I should be losing weight (while I understand that it will be a net loss in weight but it is lesser because of muscle build and that muscle weight is actually heavier than fat). So with all the exercise and strict diet, say I am able to shed 15kg and I am happy and satisfied with my current body weight. My main question is now, whether if I continue with my exercise routines (no change in style or intensity) but I am no longer following a strict diet and revert to my usual diet pattern (healthy and nothing excessively). Would I still be able to maintain my new weight or my weight will increase back to my old previous weight ? I read that bigger muscle build would result in higher metabolism and if I do not eat excessively, I should still be able to maintain a slight calorie deficit if not equal calorie intake and consumption to maintain my new lighter body weight. Any views in my theory ? This post has been edited by RedShirt: Apr 26 2012, 06:46 PM |

Any views in my theory ? "To my understanding is that maintaining a calories deficit diet/lifestyle is the way to lose weight and when my calories intake equals my calories burned, my weight maintains." -All you have to do is adjust your eating accordingly to your maintenance calories if you want to maintain. Assuming you are still in a deficit, if you plan to return to maintenance, add a small amount of calories weekly till you reach maintenance calories. On to the next "I read that bigger muscle build would result in higher metabolism and if I do not eat excessively, I should still be able to maintain a slight calorie deficit if not equal calorie intake and consumption to maintain my new lighter body weight." -This is something that is usually blown out of proportion. Yes a 1lb of muscle tissue burns more calories than 1lb fat tissue, however its pretty insignificant. Lets put some numbers to it. 1lb of muscle burns about 6 calories at rest and fat burns about 2 calories at rest. Lets assume that you lose 10lbs of fat and gain 10lbs of muscle. You're going to weigh the same, but of course you're going to look a heck of a lot better. So back to the point, you're going to burn an additional 40 calories a day due to the change in body composition. Not very significant. For it to be very significant you have to build a significant amount of muscle which will take a very long time to reach. |
