darklight, so if cardio is not a good tool for fat loss what is? I do weight lifting too. i do a circuit then some intervals or go for RPM. but now i mainly do lifting and intervals. And at night for for muay thai classes, which burn the shit outa anyone! I go almost 4~5 times a week.

Is this over pushing?

I hit gym twice a week. 40 mins per session. No cardio, no stupid RPM nor intervals and i'm at single digit bodyfat. Summary, for fat loss: diet >cardio.

My diets pretty shitty as im vegetarian. Lack of protein! :S

My main source of proten is peanut butter and protein shakes.

darklight, i feel like tagging you to gym
lol

It's not as hard as it sounds. Sometimes doing too much can be counter productive. My rest days are when i burn bodyfat. Cardio can be a tool to create a larger caloric deficit but as a primary tool to rely on for fat loss... Nah. One cAnnot outtrain a bad diet.

Breakfast: Big Mac

Lunch: Big Mac

Dinner: Big Mac


Still under 1800 calories!

Bad diet can hardly happen to me as I will certainly watch what I eat, kind of understand the diet is very important. Anyhow, haven't be able to get the best diet yet, but at least still maintaining it at high protein, high fiber and low carbs

Guys, I've gain weight from 60 to 65 in 6 months time... I know that sleep late will caused it.. Is there any alternative ways to lose weight?

So, I can use your advice to a hardgainer that by not sleeping, they can gain weight. Correct?

Sorry?

You said that sleeping late is the cause of your increasing weight right? Actually it is not. Maybe it have its part but it contribute very little amount to it

Assuming to your theory is having a good diet for 5 days in a week and enjoy your foods on your work out day ? I dont understand the bold part .Do you mean resting and having a good diet on rest day contribute to loss in bodyfat? mind to explain ? thanks in advance mr darklight79

Just enjoy and try to love what you having , sometimes a bit calories from sauce is needed to make ur food taste better. Stress will only make ur body suffer and help you to store more fat.

mostly it come from ur diet problem. I think ur sleeping habit will only make you hungry at night and consume more unnecessary foods . It is okay to have foods at nite or midnite , as long it is low in calories and healthy . I like to eat most of the time just that I only have some white eggs with breads , almost 100++ calories for my snack instead of kit kat bar that almost cost the same . Correct me if I am wrong

Hi guys just want to ask it is possible to lose 1 kilo a day although it may sound absurd but last time i did some diet n exercise by power walk 1 hour a day i lost 6 kilos in a week n 1 the following.However the first week i was on just porridge and the second week just fruits.I am wondering now i have increased my workout to about 2-3 hours a day would the results b better?

EPOC or the afterburn effect which the increased of metabolism after your workout - the additional calories your body going to burn during your rest day.

I think what they would told you is you lose out all water weight . A healthy losing weight plan is for you to lose up 1-2 kgs a week. You will lose out a lot of water and muscle in ur body . This is because muscle is easier to break down than fat so if you didn't eat much , your body will try to break down something from your storage (fat+muscle). In these case , protein is easier to break down.

oh okay ,mean after workout the metabolism will increase and cool down after 2-3 days rite?

example ;
during workout the bmr -2300
1st rest day -2100
2nd rest day -1900

3rd day - normal back

thanks for your reply

Well, yes no doubt I can't deny the fact that my work is contributing a lot of stress to me and sometimes I can see my weight just go up without any additional food in my diet

dont only hit the gym but go and try out some sports with ur friends =) cycling and hiking is very good as well. If your body in good shape , dont worry bout the number =)

Mostly my friends aren't into cycling nor hiking except they are into shopping
Well, body is in good shape, but want it even better

anyway, did something very lame just now, because I ran with 2 4kg dumbbell for about 3km only
It's like killing me >"<
but feel good XD

wow.. 4kg x 2 - tht's a lot @@

you can expand your network, find ppl who do like physical activity, most importantly you enjoy the activity, no point if I tell you rock climbing is good then you hate every moment of it.
