Hehehe.

im already 30 years old, 180cm weighing 90kg now. My weight fluctuates from 80-90kg. Being at the top of the range, i definitely want to do something for myself.

Being a guy in the financial world, i do not move my ass too much haha, except when playing golf.

Anyways, to put it simply, my target is to drop my weight down straight to 70-80kg, and hopefully stay there. Im going to retain my 1800 calorie diet (which i have been using for the past 5 years), and increase the intensity of my cardio.

Update:1 Nov 2012- 1 Mar 2012




Revised targets
NovA = 90kg
4H12A = 82kg (-8)
1Q13A = 74kg (-8)
2Q13E = 69kg
3Q13E = 64kg
4Q13E = 60kg
4Q14E = 59-60kg

My daily food actually do not vary much. My diet is very exact, because i cook my own food everyday.
I generally eat 400 grams of pasta, 200 grams of chicken/beef meat, 400 grams of vege's, and 100 grams of sausages/cheese/fake meat/etc, 1 teaspooon salt, 1 spoon sugar, and 1 spoon of oil, and 30-50 grams of cheese/pasta sauce/tuna/flavouring.

This adds up to 1800 calorie per day.

My workout session will consist of basically walking to work (40 minutes everyday), and dancing (level8-9 DDR), swimming, and sometimes treadmill in my condo 's gym. my target is the following

Monday - 40 minutes walking , 1 hour 30 minutes DDR
Tuesday - 40 minutes walking, 1 hour DDR, 30 minutes swimming
Wednesday - 40 minutes walking, 1 hour 20 minutes brisk walk at KLCC Park (because swimming wets my trunks, so need time to dry)
Thursday - 40 minutes walking, 1 hour 30 minutes DDR
Friday - 40 minutes walking, 1 hour DDR, 30 minutes swimming
Saturday - 2 hours swimming, maybe 1-4 hours walking (shopping)
Sunday - rest day, maybe 1-4 hours walking (shopping)

I do understand my metabolism is insanely low, because my intake of 1800 calorie per day will basically make me break even in terms of weight even if i walk to work for 40 minutes everyday. Since i do not think i can take it eating any less, basically, i will have to focus on increasing cardio activities.

So yeah. Wish me luck.

You should reduce or avoid pasta from your diet. To boast up your metabolism, do more weight exercise intensively. Intensive mean when you do any kind of exercise, you must sweating like crazy and feeling sore. When you have this kind of feeling, this is called afterburn effect which will keep on burning your calories even during your rest time. Cheers, and good luck in your weight loss.

Another thing is, avoid all kind of processes food such as sausages, fast food and etc because they are not good for your health. Replace sugar, oil, flour with something healthier such as olive oil (in a moderation amount: 1tbsp). When you're performing cardio on the threadmill, try to set the inclined to 0 and speed jump to 6~7 speed for a minutes and back to 4 speed for 3 minutes. Continuously repeat it for atleast 5 times for 20 minutes interval should be good for your heart.

Dont think i can reduce the ammount of pasta anymore. 400g of cooked pasta is basically 40% of a normal 500g pack, eaten for a whole day (1000 calories).

If you really feel i should substitute it (i usually use spinach or wholemeal pasta), what should i substitute it with? I still need energy for day to day stuffs. dont want to lose my job haha from sleeping in front of bloomberg

make some time to go to gym.n work ur ass out there.for sure, with ur diet plan n weight training ( forget about cycling or jumping on treadmill, useless n slow ) , u'll get wat u want.gd luck bro

i dont think my joints allow me weight training anymore hahah. Do they even burn any calories? im just worried im swatting air.

Im considering trying to accelerate my diet by reducing my calories intake to 1500 per day, by focusing more on vegetables and steamed/roasted fish/chicken, and less and less on carbo.

Im also trying to wipe out my lunch altogether, and change it into a gym session.
So going forward, im aiming for a standard daily workout of

1) 40 minutes of walking in the morning (ard 230 calories at 80kg)
2) 1 hour 10 minutes of gym session in the afternoon (ard 651 calories at 80kg)
3) 1 hour 30 minutes of swimming/DDR dancing/brisk walk-jogging in KLCC Park. in the evening (ard 916 calories at 80kg)

and a food intake of 1500 calories per day.
my planned daily calorie burnt is approximately 1800 calories per day.

hence even 0 metabolism, i will be able to lose weight aggresively.


Day 8 19/11
Food: Standard 3x cooked meals. 1800 calories
Workout: 40 minutes of walking in the morning. 40 minutes of DDR in the evening (14 songs). wasnt able to push today because i came back late from work.

Because weight loss is the best combination between strength workout and cardio since strength workout produce maximum afterburn effect compare to cardio which only last for 1 hour. Instead of only targeting losing weight, it will be much better if you have stronger body.

Of course not from Japan lol, I put here "male" doesn't mean I am really a male. I got a friend play DDR everyday, she lost 10kg after a year. But she eat more than you. Hehe.

Depends on your metabolism i guess.

Normal people can burn 2000-2400 per day by doing nothing. for guys.

For my doctor said mine is 500-800 per day, even when im a guy.

But i never felt like eating much. which is a huge advantage. i can survive with only breakfast if i wanted to. maybe because my body simply refuses to dispense energy.

Hence, to me, its all about controlling both food and exercise. I need to make sure i burn as much calories from my workouts than i eat, then whatever daily metabolism i have will be the calories i burn. If i skip a gym session, then i skip eating, and replace it with plain water.

Have you ever try some supplement to help you?

you mean like those from scam sites?

i dont fall for those stuffs

If eating a pill can make you drop 20kg, then gyms will be bancrupt and the US will be filled with fit people.

No, it is something like health nutrient where you can get from local store such as GNC or even online.

Looks like im still alive after 2 weeks.
Now that i have reduced my daily calorie intake to 1500, and increased my workout to 3-4 hours a day, burning 1500-1800 calories per day,

my next target is to reduce calorie intake to 1200 a day, and maybe tack in higher intensity workouts, hopfully burning 2000 calories a day. i think if i can do this, i can speed up my weight loss to 3-4 kg per month.

Eventually, i want to make sure my daily workout can double my gain in calories from food consumption.

Any signs of 6packs bro?

I doubt I can ever get 6 pack from jogging and dancing. I am not really interested anyways.

My aim is to just lose weight. I have long lost hope in finding a girl in Malaysia, but i want to keep myself active, as i want to live long, and keep myself moving before i arrive to the age where sakit sakit is the norm.

This is because i have just done a full medical check up, and my two biggest problem is overweight, and my uric acid levels is borderline.
So i need to control my diet, and lose weight.

Seems like the diet works for you! After about 2 months you're 4-5kg down, that's really good.

but I think the WingKalimdor is right, try to cut down some pasta and processed meat (sausage, they're high in sodium and fat). If you take rice for dinner, go for brown rice or quinoa and not the normal rice. If you can help it, cook your own dinner as the food outside are basically soaked in oil (even vege). Once in awhile replace pasta with some other options eg. mihun or brown rice. You can even go for 1pc of chapati/ naan + tandoori chicken. There's a lot of other things you can go for other than pasta. I'm sure you'll somewhat get bored of it after awhile

To accelerate your workout, increase your Cardio and Weights. Walking in shopping mall (even if it's 4 hours) may not burn a lot of calories. You might want to opt for some sports (eg. badminton/ futsal/ football) or additional workout like sit-up, push up etc.

Just my 2 cents.

Hey guys. I have upgraded my schedule.

Now, im trying to reduce my diet to 1200-1300 calories, by cutting my pasta intake to 100 grams a day, and increase my chicken breast skinless intake to 600-1kg a day. depending on how many eggs i take.

So im going super heavy on protein, and light on carbohydrates, reducing my calories to 1300.

At the same time, i have changed my workout schedule, since i have repaired by bicycle. i will be doing bicycle workouts, and heavy workouts.

MORNING : 20-60 minutes of cycling (12-16km) or 400-500 calories
AFTERNOON : 1 hour 20 minutes of gym or 800-1000 calories
EVENING : 2 hours of cycling, OR 2 hours of swimming, OR 2 hours of DDR. or 900-1500 calories

WEEKENDS ; 40-50km of cycling (1200-1300 calories)

This adds up to burning 2100 calories - 3000 calories on weekdays, and 1200-1300 calories on weekends. against food intake of 1300 calories.

Im also going on long range cycling drives. I will be aiming 40-50km bicycle rides, planned along good bicycle lanes or kampung areas for my weekends. i have put aside 4-5 hours. my average speed is 13 kmh with no effort, and 20-25 kmh with effort.

With this combination, im planning to increase my calories burnt per day to 1800-2000.

Its okay to decrease your carb alittle, but do up your fat intake; from any oil; viz coconut, flex, fish, almond, etc.

all the best, mate.

is the 700g-1000g of chicken meat not enough oil? (i mean theres fat in there right haha)
