Hey Sifu`s,

Please guide me. Im currently 95kg and 180cm.

I really want to lose weight. I am currently and taking API which i think would increase my metabolism rate.

i have stop eating rice for almost 2 weeks but i dont see any weight loss in myself. I normally dont take breakfast and the pass 2 week i have been eating bread for lunch or sometimes noodles or sometimes i skip and only have a cup of Milo.

At night, normally i take bread or sometimes, noodles again or just a ramly burger.

I dont eat in between meals but i am coffee person, where i take a few cups of coffee a day without sugar.

The problem im facing is that, i don't know why i cant loose weight although i don't consume much food. im really trying my best by taking some fat burners to increase my metabolism, where i think mine is very low but i dont think its working.

Since i have cut rice and many things, some my friends told me i put on weight and my face look rounder. i dont know from where did the weight come from and since i reduced my eating habit.

Please advise me on routine if you guys can, and I will follow. I am planning to hit the gym as well. I heard my friend said if you take Lipo 6 UC + Lipo Nutrex, it can burn a lots weight when you hit the gym? Is it recommended? I took many kind of slimming products as well as fat burners before, but it seems doesn't work for me. I REALLY need HELP! I want to loose the weight to look good as well as healthy. i think i need to loose about 15-20 kg or more.

Please advise sifu`s!

1. It's funny how everyone stopped taking rice but go for noodles and bread. Rice is better than those, so don't worry and eat up your rice with MODERATION.
2. Another mistake - DO NOT SKIP BREAKFAST. When you don't take breakfast, you're actually slowing down your metabolism as your body has no fuel.
3. Bread and noodles are not as good as you think it is. Don't take them too often.
4. Milo - replace this with something else. It's better to take oats.
5. There really is nothing wrong with Ramly burger but burger patties are usually made by mashing/ blending meat + fats together. So no, don't take them often.

I hope now you realize why you're not losing weight despite thinking you're not eating much.

You should increase your protein - eggs, chicken breast, milk etc. Take oats. Cut down on fried, processed and oily food. Have your food steamed, baked, stir fried, grilled (with no butter/ margarine). Load up on vege and take your fruits. From white rice, change to brown rice for better nutrition and take less noodles.

Yes, go to gym and workout. Fat burner only help to give you that energy and push, you'll still have to workout hard and watch what you eat.

Hey Sifu,

thanks for the advise.

1. Are you sure rice is better than those? Noodles and rice have lesser Carbo compared to Rice right? Moderation means- eat hald plate rice you mean?
2. Dont skip breakfast, but i am not a breakfast person. Ok, I will try taking a breakfast. Do you have any suggestions for that?
3. I thought breads can be taken, to cut carbo intake. People normally advise saying dont take rice for dinner but replaced it with bread. What you think about this my friend?
4. Ok, I will stop taking Milo and replace it with oats. Which oats you mean? the normal oats or the Biogrow oats?
5. Yeah, i dont take that often and I will try to avoid them if possible.

supplement wont help much. do you know most fat burner contain mainly is caffeine? and you coffee person. maybe your body already get used to caffeine. even so, fat burner only SLIGHTLY increase your metabolism rate.

go hit the gym 1st. try HIIT (google if you donno what it mean). as your diet, please list down so we easy track what wrong is your diet.  nod.gif

Dear Sifu,

Thanks for your advise. i know there`s caffeine in the fat burners- and logicaly thinking, its correct what, your trying to say. i think I will avoid coffee starting today and see how it goes- for a period of 1 month.

Doesn't matter what time you eat - brunch or no brunch - total calories consumed in a day doesn't change.

What sort of workout plan do you mean? Someone suggested HIIT - it's good cardio workout and I recommend you to try it.

Sorry sorry my friend,

That means you have brunch ( Breakfast plus lunch) and i can dinner than. is it okay? or still shall i break it into three meals a day?

workout right now what i meant is just normal exercise which means just on track mill plus some weigh lifting.

HIIT- i saw the video.

do you have any meal plans that you can suggest?

Dear SIfu,

Right now, as i stated earlier my diets doesnt involve breakfast. here`s the daily meal:

Morning about 8am: coffee without sugar

Lunch 1230pm: Fried Kueow Tiow with chicken/ Fried Mee/ 4 slices of bread with peanut butter and butter

Dinner: Noodles/ Kuew tiow/ Burger/ Very seldom rice

The entire day I will have about 4-5 cups of coffee without sugar. very seldom snacks in between- if there`s any also, only some Jacob biscuits.


So, what you think?

It depends on individual. I always believe in 'what works best for you' since everyone's body works differently. I eat very often in a day because i get hungry easily. I take breakfast, tea break/ snack, lunch, tea break/ snack, pre-workout snacks, dinner and sometimes supper (and yes, I still lose fat %). I'm very used to his regime and only skip on tea breaks/ snacks when I'm really busy (eg. trapped in meeting, traveling etc).

Which is why it all boils down to WHAT YOU EAT instead of how often or how many meals you take.

Now, if you're a bit on the heavy, be careful with treadmill. You might put pressure on your knees which in time, will possibly cause knee pain if you run on it frequently and intensively. For a start you might want to brisk walk first then slowly upgrade to running (interval with some rest time) when you're comfortable with it.

Weight lifting is good, keep it up. The guys will be able to advice you better if you have questions on it. I'm a noob myself in weights. I would also encourage you to do functional training (search youtube/ google). It can also help you to lose fat and tone up your body.

I don't really have meal plans to suggest as everyone have own preference but as a guide, herein are some of the food that I personally eat. Open yourself up to different food choices/ options. Dieting doesn't mean you're restricted (depends on individual) and starved. 
It's hard to tell whether you'll get tired or not. Up to you isn't it? But note that our body adapts to certain regime after awhile and you'll need to tweak/ change your routine to ensure it doesn't go into the 'comfort zone' where you'll stop burning as much as you used to. For some, this is the stage where they hit plateau.

Dear Sifu,

WOWOWW!!!

Your so lucky, because you can enjoy your food. Yeah, the food suggestions might help and I will start it from tomorrow. Yeah, I will be careful and start with your advise with walking first and than slowly running. I will take into count regarding the gym workouts as well.

Which gym do you go? I think I will cut down noodles right now and stick to small portion of rice as well as eat oatmeal bread for dinner.

Just want to ask about my workout and diet plan, I begin this diet and workout since July 48 kg and now weigh 43 kg.
Breakfast – fruits with green vegetables smoothie with HL milk, flax seed and wheatgerm
Snack – cucumber/carrot at 11.am
Lunch – home cooked chicken breast without skin sandwich/wrap, tuna sandwich
Dinner – roast chicken with sweet potato or steam fish with veges or tofu without rice OR oats
Workout – Hiit 4-5 times a week for 30-35 mins, yoga on sat & sun, crunches, sit up and leg raise 3-4 times a week.
Is my plan sustainable in a long term or will I get tired of this plan after a few months? Is this even a good plan? My body fat percentage is still high and not decreasing this few weeks at 23% but in July is 28% BF.

Wow, within 2 months you can see this much result- i personally think is okay (In a normal Person). May be the sifu`s over here can share extra idea/suggetsions the way you diet or workout!

Good luck bro!

Depends on what bread. If it's the Adventist 7 grain sprouted bread that's better than rice. If you're referring to white bread, rice would be better (in moderate amount).

Anzen organic oats. Costs about RM2 - RM4 more than Quaker Oats.

Hey there,

I havent heard from Adventist 7 nor Anzen organic oats, can you tell me where can i get it? thanks my friend.

Errrrr lucky? Anyone can enjoy the food they want smile.gif again I have to stress, dieting should not be 'painful, suffering or stressing'. Enjoy your food but be smart in your choices. I eat frequent but I don't eat a lot each time. Snack could be an apple or 2 bananas. At times it's some oats or a bun. You can have cheat day (limit them though) or cheat meal.

I'm a Fitness First member laugh.gif love FF!

Agree, cut down on noodles, kuay teow, yee mee etc and just take some rice/ oats instead. I'd suggest the oatmeal itself instead of oatmeal bread or oatmeal biscuit. Trust me, there's a big difference.
I see, tell your dad that you're trying to change/ lead a healthier lifestyle and advice him to join you biggrin.gif it's not healthy for anyone to eat outside food that's so oily each day.

Hahaha I wonder if it's me who mentioned the Jacob's biscuit. Anyway I used to take Jacob's high fiber, low sodium biscuit. It used to be dry and tasteless (which is good) but recently it has gotten much oilier and I've stopped taking it. Instead of biscuit, I'm taking Granola bar as pre workout or afternoon snacks.

I don't know, I still find the 'less sugar' on yakult and vitagen very sweet. Is it a must for you to take? Taking low fat milk is better.

Dear Sifu,

How do you do?

Which FF do you go my friend?

I have already cut down my intake of noodles, kuew tiow and replaced it with oats as well as with rice with lots of vege and protein.

I wonder if I have to take the HIIT program, which classes should i join in FF which consists of some of steps from HIIT?

One of the great benefits of ProArgi-9 is that it may help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular heart disease. Another benefit of L-arginine is that it is a vital amino acid that plays a role in a number of physiological functions in the body but is best known for its cardiovascular benefits. Let's check it out and find L-arginine also enhances health in a number of other ways. It improves immune function, stimulates the release of human growth hormone (HGH), promotes healthy sexual function, may boost energy levels, helps to build muscle, and reduces adipose tissue body fat. rclxm9.gif

Is your life active, like lots of walking and standing? Or else you should exercise in order to lose weight.
