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

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.

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 musclesSo 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  hmm.gif

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 smile.gif

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.

I've managed to lost 20kgs in half a year with proper exercise and food intake control.
Trust me, your diet will work but it will not build any lean muscles though.
We aim to build lean muscles so you will look fit, and burn fats even when you sleep.

Your breakfast, is  not nutrition enough. Get some good carbs when you wake up in the morning, like smoothie, but good thing though, you nailed yoghurt.  rclxms.gif
Lunch should be very very healthy, filled up with protein and fiber, and eat a whole lot of it! e.g: Salad, fruits and vegetables, or small mixed rice with toufu, eggs...etc. Fried food is always your enemy when you are trying to gain lean muscles and lost weight.
Dinner is nice, lots of fruits and veges. But do rmb meat, must make sure they are not fried or whatever. Boiled or Steamed or grilled are fine.

Erm, joining gym to me is not that important though, you can do planking or sit up or push up in your own room.
But you should RUN, do cardio and strength training together + watch your diet = very fit body.
Weightlifting will burn fat too, but not as much as how cardio can take you to.
Hope this helps!  icon_rolleyes.gif

Breakfast - 3 In 1 Milo with cereal
Lunch - Chap Fan with chicken that is not fried or curry + egg / beancurd / orangebeen with egg + vege (small portion rice) or roast chicken breast with small portion of rice.
Dinner - Oat + 3 in 1 Milo or Brocolli + cauliflower + carrot braised with salt.
Snack / Supper - Apple 1 or 2 depends on how hungry.

GYM
Trackmill - 35min = 3min walk, 7min jog, 2min walk 8min jog, 2min walk 8 ming jog, 5min walk cool down.
Crosstrainner = 15min
Some abs machine, you can lie on it and put leg on the end, then pull up your body by handle beside left and right (behind also can add weight) = 12times per set, 6 set with 2.5kg weight. (something like sit-up)
Some abs machine, you knee on it and swing left and right - 15times per set, 6 set with 17kg weight
Abs crunch - 20 times per set, 3 set.

This is daily routine for weekdays, weekend only sometime free on Sunday.
*
just abs exercise and cardio? My suggestion will be take away treadmill and one of your abs machine exercise, use those energy and strength to do weight training, chest, back, shoulder, leg. You need to build more muscle mass in order to burn fats more effective.

There are two types of carbs....simple and complex carbs....for me i'd avoid simple carbs...go for complex carbs and you need carbs for energy. There are so called refined and unrefined carbs and unrefined carbs is better than refined carbs in term of simple carbs. So search up those term and you will know more
