Not only are you 99% likely to fail, if in the 1% event you succeed, you are not gonna look so much Brad Pitt as African famine victim.

LBM 108.3 lb, Brad Pitt had about 8% Body fat in Fight Club. That means your weight will be around 115lbs which is give or take 55kgs. You will look like a absolute stick.

Eat meat
Lift weights
Eat vegetables

Btw, your waist size is at 33in, this means you are not that fat anyways - there's no real need to cut

The best (free) way to lose weight and keep weight off?

Learn about nutrition and learn how to read product labels.

That's because the calories expended during such light exercise is actually very minimal.

If for example instead of weight training you began running marathons you would have seen similar progress in fat loss (although obviously less muscle gains).

A lot of people overestimate their exercise and underestimate their calories consumed (especially in Msia thanks to teh tarik, nescafe, milo, etc) which is reflected in our growing obesity rate.

I just ran 21km at the last Stan Chart, and I did the full marathon at last years' Stan Chart. Didn't lose any muscle!

Just eat something light before you run. Powerbar works good.

Go to bodyrock.tv and do the workouts there.

Don't agree.

With the right regimen (diet, exercise, rest, etc) a low-carb diet (either high Protein/med fat or vice versa) can cut body fat quickly while retaining good LBM.

Caloric deficit is a bit of a myth - 1 calorie of carbs doesn't affect your body in the same way as 1 cal of fat or protein. In fact the word "calorie" itself is misleading.

There are starving peasants in India or China that manage to eat more than that!
Increase calories asap.

You are screwing up your body, metabolism and digestive system big-time. Low weight, low calorie doesn't always equals healthy.

If you are seriously eating 800 calories a day I will advise you to add a big mac to your diet every single day.

Not really.

Lets say your maintenance is 2500cals. And you target a deficit of 500cals = 2000 cals.

If 70-80% of it is carbs (and given our lousy Malaysian diet/food choices + marketing of wholegrain as "healthy", it is more than possible), then you would find it hard to retain LBM. Especially if you have poor exercise routines in place.

While dieting, the body can burn body fat, or LBM. The macro intake a person takes determines which it prefers.

I'd much rather burn 20% LBM 80% fat than even 50-50%.

You need to work on this ASAP or it WILL have long-term consequences on your health, and possibly affect any offspring you have.

Mind to enlighten me on:

a) Your current weight?
b) When you started having this apetite issue?

If you have always been eating 800calories I find it hard to believe you would even need to post in this thread.

I suspect this is the result of a very badly planned crash diet. You are on the verge of aneroxia nervosa with eating 800 cals a day.

I strongly urge you to seek medical help.

Ok, I think we are actually agreeing.

I don't recommend a zero-carb or ultra-low carb diet to anyone - certainly not in malaysia anyways!

But a low(ered) carb intake is essential for weight loss.

Assuming you want to cut a 2,500 cal diet to a 2,000 one, the 500 cals reduced should come entirely from carbs.

Carbs should ALWAYS be present pre- and/or post-workout.

I think the keto diet is not conducive to long-term health as well - even if you do manage to eat maintenance on it.

How long did it take you to reduce 4" from your waist?

Being 48kgs can be considered underweight but of course it depends on your height.

Eating 600-800 cals a day is considered on the verge of aneroxia nervosa. I urge you to add carbs into your diet post workout.

And eat more!!
