Why isn't there like a pinned sticky about the science behind losing weight ?

Should I make one ?


It would curb the amount of "HOw do I lose weight" threads.

Losing weights is a big struggle for me

losing weight is not big deal, maintain the weight after you losing it is something serious. I am on the process of losing weight now, build up the awareness of healthy lifestyle and selective eating but those delicious are just too tempting.

Thanks Syd G for getting this pinned and the new thread.

Could you also place these links on your first posting as a reference

waaa.....V3 ^^

waaa V3 already !!

since I posted this in the end of V2, so I guess I repost this to get you guys opinion about it.

5 spoons? how many cups is that? imho, instead of 3 meals. split it into 5-6 meals in order to keep your metabolism rate high. protein intake too less as well. cheers

That is a myth.

Second that

well, apparently the myth works for me. i dropped my BF% from 24 to 18 in 5 weeks and maintaining my muscle mass with high reps workout program. if you have time and commitment, no harm trying it out right?

I dont think one could called it a myth, studies has shown its inconclusive. we should not be concluding anything just based on a one or two studies. A new study would show otherwise.

Regular (consistent) Split meals has its benefits in many ways.

Inconclusive? One or two studies? There has been more than 10 done iirc, and they were all pretty much conclusive, that frequent feedings have no effect on metabolism compared to fewer feedings.. The fact that its been replicated so many times means its very conclusive.

Perhaps there are other benefits, but there is no metabolic advantage to it.

Link to said study please. Does it assert that there is metabolic advantage to frequent feedings? Otherwise, skip it.

honestly i've tried both.....many meals and 3 meals per day, i dont see much changes in my metabolism as well as my weight.....DL do it with only 3 meals and now i'm on 3 meals most of the day as well....still okay with my weight and all....so yea, i'm with darkseifer this time

somewhat I agreed with you but not as whole....when looking from a holistic view, it has more benefits to split the meals, hence that practice should not be discarded in a fly.

Eating 3 meals is fine, if you know what you are doing, and have planned your micros/marcos.

sorry, I'm unable to detail my thoughts further....short of time...hence copy and paste reading material below...

<<
Meal frequency was related to BMI and should be considered when developing guidelines to prevent childhood overweight.

http://www.nature.com/ijo/journal/v32/n1/abs/0803654a.html
>>

<<
Eating meals regularly is inversely associated to the metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance and (high) serum concentrations of gamma-glutamyl transferase. These findings suggest that eating meals irregularly may be part of several potential environmental risk factors that are associated with the metabolic syndrome and may have future implications in giving dietary advice to prevent and/or treat the syndrome.

http://www.nature.com/oby/journal/v16/n6/f...by2008203a.html

<<
The prevalence of obesity decreased by number of daily meals: three or fewer meals, 4.2% [95% confidence interval (CI), 2.8 to 6.1]; four meals, 2.8% (95% CI, 2.1 to 3.7); and 5 or more meals, 1.7% (95% CI, 1.2 to 2.4). These effects could not be explained by confounding due to a wide range of constitutional, sociodemographic, and lifestyle factors. The adjusted odds ratios for obesity were 0.73 (95% CI, 0.44 to 1.21) for four meals and 0.51 (95% CI, 0.29 to 0.89) for five or more meals. Additional analyses pointed to a higher energy intake in nibblers compared with gorgers.

Results: Omitting a meal was followed by increases in fat mass (360 plusminus 115 grams, p < 0.05), late evening leptin concentration (20.7 plusminus 11.0% , p < 0.05), and respiratory quotient (3.7 plusminus 1.4% , p < 0.05). Increase in the percentage of dietary fat during the habituation period (+4.1 plusminus 2.0% , p < 0.05) was correlated with fat mass (r = 0.66, p < 0.05). Adding a meal had no effect, but, in both groups, the change in energy content at this fourth eating occasion was correlated with the change in adiposity.

Discussion: Our results suggest that adiposity may increase when young lean male subjects switch from a four- to a three-meal pattern by removing their usual afternoon meal. This effect could be partly mediated by a change in the macronutrient composition of the diet.

The irregular meal frequency appears to produce a degree of insulin resistance and higher fasting lipid profiles, which may indicate a deleterious effect on these cardiovascular risk factors.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15220950

<<
The data indicate that increased meal frequency may have a beneficial effect on a reduced BMI. Physical activity and breakfast skipping may be candidate targets for prevention programmes aimed at reducing overweight/obesity among adolescents

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18274921
>>


Clearly the above shows that there is a link of meal frequency and metabolism, muscle mass, obesity and fat loss, insulin resistance.

Hence we should not brush aside meal frequency and metabolism or the other body's characteristic changes to the affect.

And clearly I dont want to pick a fight, just matter of discussion, and hope others could throw some factual light as well.

Cheers.

You did not present a cohesive argument. I would advice you not to straw man my position and stay on topic. Nobody said that frequent feedings is useless. Did you not properly read my original response? The previous poster recommended to split meals to keep metabolism high. Frequent feedings to increase metabolism is a myth. I did not say anything else.

The assertion: Does meal frequency increase metabolism?

The answer is no. Its that simple. Controlled trials have demonstrated that clearly.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1905998


http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9155494


Thus adding more meals while keeping total calorie intake the same does nothing to improve metabolism. You posted nothing to refute that. By the way, correlation does not imply causation, keep in mind the next time you decide to draw conclusions from behavioural/statistical studies.

This post has been edited by darkseifer: Apr 17 2012, 04:08 PM

split it into 5-6 meals in order to keep your metabolism rate high.

Er...i think post above you explained all, no?

Tried the 5-6 meal method. No difference for me in terms of result. It just felt more irritating. Broscience sux. Lol.

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?

what r u trying to archive? reducing body fats?

yea..current weight is 119kg..height 180cm

do i need to do abs exercise to get more satisfying result in slimming down my belly? i have been doing cardio and weight training for the past few months, but still have some leftover hanging there. my weight is within a range of 68-72kg and height 178cm.

there is no such thing as spot reduction .

Meaning do abs to reduce tummy flat

To reduce belly fat you need to lose total body fat

ok. i frequent mamak with friends and there's where i always gather:

This is what i eat today as dinner:

2 Chapati
2 Telur Rebus
2 Bananas
2 Icewater

and now while typing this eating 2 green apple

Good and balance diet?

If not how to improve in a mamak context.

Also, what to replace bananas, because bananas only available on friday

Its terrible.

Lacking in fats and protein. For a person trying to lose weight thats a lot of carbs.

wow, okay, good luck to u, glad u decide to lost weight, i was 186cm, 94kg 4months ago, about the same situation as u r facing now

---

Added on April 23, 2012, 1:06 pmdefinitely too much carbs for a person that wish to reduce body weight
pls calculate ur macros
learn all this from thelion4ever

This post has been edited by woonrokjou: Apr 23 2012, 01:08 PM

u need protein and meat too..

u sure can lose weight with those meal but u will look pale and dull

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

It means you are skinny fat.

Stop cutting and starts BULKING now and lift heavy. Cut back on cardio. And yeah, eat more protein.

This post has been edited by verticalforce: Apr 25 2012, 12:28 PM

thanks brah, so is it advisable for me to take whey protein like ON 100% whey for bulking purpose?

for bulking up, i use MuscleTech Nitro-tech hard core, the taste is a bit weird, but really effective for building lean muscles

it's not weight-gainer type of supplement aite? i dont want my tummy to gain fat later-on. so how it work? do i need to take it as a pre-workout supplement or post-workout, as a pre-workout i already take jack3d.

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 ?

Sup brah. It seems like you answered your own question?
"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.

Morning.

V3 already...nice.

Normally jog 4 times a week, 45 minutes each session.

Stopped jogging since Januari 2012 since moving to a new apartment.
Still walking 2.4 km everyday though since have no time to jog.
Waist 32 inches...now 31 inches; loosen pants
Old days was 36 inches.



Started again FINALLY last Saturday.

Sore on the CALF and THIGH

Took a week to heal.
Maybe can jog again tomorrow.


Last time longest break was a month, only a sore calf.
This time after nearly 4 months...even the thigh was sore


Glad to be back.

Stay healthy guys.

Can I play skipping rope to lose belly fat? I've played for quite a time and at first, it was very effective but not that effective now.

I don't know why but now I seem like not gaining or losing weight no matter how I starve myself or eat a lot of stuffs. Last time I used to eat breakfast and dinner only but I didn't lose weight. Now I eat breakfast, lunch and even dinner but, not gaining weight also. Sometimes, I even have tea time....

This post has been edited by NicoRobinz: Apr 28 2012, 12:57 PM

the weight doesnt matters~ the SHAPE does

I decided to challenge myself. I was overweight, kinda plump. Over 12 weeks, I followed this plan (http://www.primermagazine.com/2009/train/a-new-year-a-new-body-the-complete-12-week-body-transformation-program), which did wonders for me. I lost 8KG in 2 months, gain muscle that I never though I have. However, just want to ask, the fat around the belly seems like won't go away. Any tips and tricks to burn the fat around the belly area?

At the moment I run, do body weight circuits as I have no access to gym now.

i totally agree with you .. .. ppl still dont understand between weight loss and fat loss

err guys..i'm 29 years old male weighing around 94kg..
ideal weight is 74kg..now focus on cardio for loosing my weight..
one question, which fat burner pills/supplement is d best to help me burn more fat and calories..?
thanks guys..

i took fat burner for 3 months straight, i cant see any significant result...will suggest you to straight go for protein shake...my opinion though

protein shake good to lose weight?
how bout this?
http://fatburner.net/fat-burners/apidexin/

anyone know how to loose those stubborn tummy fat? my weight is down but, the spare tyre is still around, soft and flabby belly

mind sharing what is your diet and your workout schedule?

my 1st wild guess is because u lose muscle instead of fat. That is why you weight is down but still have fats around

nice..

struggle no more! try to feed your appetite and feel happy every time you eat, because you know what? studies shows that every time you feel guilty after eating it can lead to stress and during stress our body normally release the stress hormone(cortisol). Too much cortisol can slow your metabolism, causing more weight gain than you would normally experience.

Why do only 12w? do it for life. otherwise you gonna regain what you lost, maybe with extra bonus gain too.
no spot reduction, fat are useful for your body, it's normal that your body would want to keep them.
unless you are having specific goal like joining Body Building Competition or Dare by a friend to have 6 packs, I don't see any idea why you should hurry it. Keep your life style right, you will be happier man.

I never felt guilty eating.. is that a problem? My weight can fluctuate a lot, I weight 94 last 2 week, 98 last week, 96 this week.

So as long as you feel happy after eating you won't gain weight?? Riveting tale.

Hi, the best method is to control diet intake and regular exercise.

So true... I have been doing Zumba for a month already and have successfully loose some weight. I tried so hard to maintain this weight but I also need to watch on my diet which is really hard. Salty and fatty foods are so irresistible.

If I jog 1-1.5 km and walk 0.5-1km 3/4 times a week can I lose weight ( of course not eating junk food, oily food too much) and stay fit?

sure u can lose weight weight by jogging and risk walk. I lost weight by jogging

Ok cool, thanks

maybe many should realize lose fats and lose lean muscle mass is 2 different things but same outcome.

So IMHO one should aim for lose fat instead of lose weight because when you lose fat, eventually your weight will drop.

just my opinion and experience. weight loss does not mean u loose fat but rather loose muscle mass. wut i do to control this is do cardio (jog and skipping) for 20-30mins just as a warm up n set the body to burn. but off course drink at least a glass of plain water b4 u do cardio. after this do some weight training to maintain ur muscles. as u work out u burn fat and gain muscle. this is how i maintain so far its doing good. but it does get a bit bored after a month so hav to change the schedule.... loosing weight and loosing fat is 2 different thing... and i dnt use any fat burners wut so ever.. not yet anyway...

what kind of exercise i can do without reducing my food intake?

This post has been edited by gxgxgx: May 6 2012, 10:34 PM

Weightlifting. Sprinting.

But healthy eating is never about reducing food intake to begin with.

Losing weight doesn't require exercise.

Smoking or drinking don't exactly prevent one from losing weight as well.

It all starts with the diet.

These are the estimated figures for an hour of walking.. Do they look promising?

Added on May 6, 2012, 10:58 pmThe main issue about dieting is the misconception that it requires food reduction.
It's actually about eating the same quantity for satiety, but changing the selection of food.


This post has been edited by entryman: May 6 2012, 10:58 PM

Okay. Actually it's pretty easy. Diet can be very satisfying too.

Example of just one meal: Roasted chicken + broccoli + carrots + natural (sugarless) yoghurt.

That's what you should be eating, as opposed to, take for example, curry mee.

This post has been edited by entryman: May 6 2012, 11:18 PM

muscles are grown in yhe kitchen...

Aminophylline Creams seem promising for spot reductions.

Tim Ferriss:"Based on my experience, using a 2% aminophylline cream for two and a half weeks, applied twice daily, accelerates thigh fat-loss more than 10 times compared to a control."

can i make my body full of holes by applying spot reduction cream on very specific hole here and there?

then I will have a tummy which looks like moon surface

Probably. Try it out and give us a report, haha. But do keep proper records, for future evaluation.

Well if spot reduction works that well it shud be possible right? and I can customise the contour, the size based on dosage I apply too..

Woi, don't spam la, this thread is about weight loss, not your fetishes lol.

Was 88, currently 80
Planning to lose weight and bulk up at the same time
My Goal :- Beach Body/Model Body
Day 1 : Biceps, Back, Abs, Cardio
Day 2 : Triceps, Chest, Shoulders, Cardio
Day 3 : Legs, Cardio
Day 4 : Same as day 1
Day 5 : Same as day 2
And so on
My resting day isnt set properly. If i feel like resting on that day, i'll do so. But max 1 rest day per week
My workouts are :- 4 sets, 8-10 reps. 3 exercises per muscle group. So total 9 exercises per day.
Cardio = Cycling studio. At least.. 40 minutes?
5-10 minutes max incline jog on treadmill before weights
Warmup -> Weights -> Cardio
Am i doing the right thing?
Thanks!

Hey guys,

I don't know if im getting on correct track or not.Please review on my routine please.
Currently focusing on Weight Loose.

Weight - 130kg
Height - 170cm +-



So guys,do you think its actually worth and correct what im doing ? I just aiming to burn lotsa fat before my brothers marriage which is in Jun end.

Well i think you're lacking on fibre and you gotta reduce on carbs buddy

My routine :- 10 minutes wamup, incline 15 speed 6
Weights for an hour, 9 exercises total, 3 muscle group
Lastly, cycling classes RPM for 50 minutes
I got rid of what, only 8kgs in 3 months?
So yeah, losing weight is a slow process... Or maybe i've been eating too much
Dont forget to minimize meal portions. Take 6 meals per day to increase your metabolism rate, it works!
Oh, and drink lots of water too!

Good luck! Congrats on your brother's engagement

Thanks for your advise buddy.
Really appreciate it.
Can suggest me a perfect 6 meal a day ? Sorry im too noob on this.
This is my 2nd week on gym,meanwhile parents thinking that im forcing my self everyday working out.
But the intention makes me cut down most of my craving food etc Ice Cream,Chocolates,and even Rice.

Im a weight pounder about 130kg. I eventually loose around 2-5kg by eating oats .

As instructed by my coach,there no point for me to carry weight at the moment because he wants me to loose weight .
Is that my workout routine is a proper one ?

I cant advise you on the perfect 6 meal a day cause me, myself dont even consume 6 meals per day, sorry!
Reduce on sugar and salt
Celeb Fitness gym trainer told me to not focus on your weight loss, focus on your appearance and body fat
Cause you can lose 3 kgs of WATER in one day, intense cardio
Which i find his statement pretty true
I'm not so sure abt your situation, i'm weighing 80kgs, im overweight according to my BMI
I asked CF trainer what should i do?
He told me to focus on weights, cause he wants me to convert my fats into muscles
So i'll suggest you to lift weights as well. I used to spend 3 hours in the gym last time before i started working
But the most inportant thing i've learned from the gym for losing weight is to keep your heart rate constant
What i mean by is after warmup, lift weights. Dont take a break too long, try your best to avoid your heart rate from dropping
Eventually you're burn fats. Try googling on the AFTERBURN workouts too!
P/S i'm not 100% correct, this is based on my experience only. I might be wrong too

That statement is wrong....fats and muscles are two different tissue...they don't convert to each other...you either lose this and gain that..or vice versa..

But about his statement about weight loss is correct...one should focus on losing fats but not weight

Thanks sir.
May i know the cardio im doing currently are for loose weight or fats ?
Far as i know,loose fats=weight are almost the same thing as you loose fats it also loose weight.

Correct me if im wrong.

True...but it is also can be lose lean muscle mass = weight....and you don't want that to happen.

Cardio will make you lose fats but it is not that superior. To lose fats more effective you need to increase your lean muscles mass because the more muscle mass you have, the more effective your body burn fats.

If I were you, I'll take away treadmill. You will hurt your knee alot. do other type of cardio such as crosstrainer which is more knee friendly, or rower. Then I will replace 100plus with only plain water. 100plus is just a sugar drink. Then I will start doing weight training. and end with some cardio for 15 to 20mins. Use your energy for weight training to increase your muscle mass, don't waste energy on cardio too much.

As for your diet, I notice you have a lot of carbs in there(such as bread, rice, chapati, etc). Reduce those and replace with more protein source such as tofu, eggs, and such. Oh, take away sunquick as well. Only take it during your cheat meal but not normal meal

oh yea...don't skip meal, you must eat to lose fats!

more or less like this....i might be wrong but that's what i'd do if i were you.

Thanks playerseeker.
It helps me alot.
Let me try on changing cardio method tonight.
And yes knee hurts alot on 2nd week.I will try on that constrainer tonight.

i agree with this.. i only do cardio twice n sometime 3times a week just to inc my metabolism. most of the time on the weights. the best of luck on u..

Thanks brothers.
Just back from gym.1st time tried on abdominal crunch.did 2 set of 30.

i think the key of losing fat it self actually depends on individual.. however, i think its more important to understand the science behind fat storage, muscle growth, fat burning process in your body. i have tried several ways to cut down in size but actually i cant , i always fall to this what we call "rebound" after slimming down. Until one day i meet this national bodybuilder don wan to mention coz i bought supplement from him then he thought me some tricks. I don want to mention who he is but i would share what i have learn from this guy
First, there is no certain plan for each people to follow to go for diet, if a plan works for you then you are lucky enough but you nvr understand your own body.Each body works differently depends what your body store in your body and your lifestyle, jot that its body works differently but the science behind your body to eliminate fat is same ,thats why some can lose fat fast while some can't.
But this are some basic information on fat burning. Your body will use up energy in your body from the food we take measured as calories first. If you are in a calories deficit then the body mechanism will switch to burn sugar or fats in your body depends on the intensity of the exercise you do. From there, you should try workout yourselves on how to lose it rather than lose it and replace it . i really start to figure from there and my 17% body fat end up at 10%.

how do yo calculate it? i kno bout the BMI and things but any more tricks from ur trainer?

Much appreciate if you could post on the calculate which helps me alot.


Guys,drinking oats with brown sugar is that healthy ?

what do you want to calculate?

Sugar is sugar, immaterial white or black.

SIkit sugar is finelah, as long as you dont over do it through out the day.

Guys... i just started out with my gym trainer for a week... quite fun and started to get used to it... currently have a big stomach T.T

But what i worry is my diet... Cause i aim at having a fit body like those model.. not that type of big muscle mass....

Is it okay to eat any type of fruits? any fruits that is weight friendly?

And any kind of diet can be recommended?

apples are weight friendly

Previously loosing weight is really a struggle for me. Now it is really just so easy.

i am trying to lose weight too but my biggest problem is eating. I exercise but i still eat lol

Argh i just love to eat =(, my discipline when it comes to eating is terrible.

Dependent on what you eat as well. Rice, noodles, fried meats, sugary drinks, sweet desserts?

Next time, try a piece of grilled chicken breast with some broccoli and carrots, and a fruit as dessert.

A lot of rice usually. Sigh.

So i'm trying out eating as per normal for lunch and breakfast and eating very little (or sometimes skipping it altogether if i don't jog at night) dinner.

Is that good?
