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.

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.

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."

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

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

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.

There, you have your answer. A mental barrier. An addiction to a lot of rice. No different from being addicted to gambling.

And being hungry is not a good thing. Although sometimes intermittent fasting is a great tool if you understand more about nutrition and weight loss.

But what I would do if I were on a rapid weight loss program is to constantly feed the body, but with significantly lowered calories. Achieved by lots of vegetables and some fruits that are high in fibre while being low in fructose, very clean protein without fats, and some small to moderate amounts of fats that come from fruits such as avocado, or minimally processed oils such as extra virgin olive oil.

The goal here is to avoid as best as possible any vitamin and mineral deficiency, while at the same time meeting calorific goals. Rice would be a poor performer with regards to this goal, along with most other empty carbohydrates.

And don't forget resistance training, to cap the loss of muscle mass. If done properly, you can forget about plain ol' jogging as its much more efficient, in terms of time cost and benefits. Exercise with a purpose. Anything without a measurable and traceable purpose is just a leisure activity. A great leisure activity for weight loss would be swimming in cold water.
