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 laugh.gif

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.

if you can cycle for 2 hours, i'm sure it's not high intense enough. for beginners doing 20 mins of HIIT is enough to make you feels exhausted and literally want to vomit. HIIT is about going at your maximum effort/speed.

cycle at max speed you can achieved for 1 minutes and you'll be glad to go slow for those 3-4 minutes.

you don't need to change your exercise, just change your last 20 minutes of cycling to HIIT, do it 2-3 times a week is already enough.

sweat.gif I know that feeling. I did one HIIT with a PT and then yesterday tried another HIIT exercise through one of Fitness Blender's video and it was brutal! I was bathing in sweat in just 20min (and I couldn't even follow the whole workout). It's good to combine cardio (30-45min on treadmill) + 20min HIIT training and I'm done for the day!

2-3 times a week is sufficient? sounds good. Besides it's a workout I can do when I travel with no access to gym.

Wow I do admire your discipline and motivation to lose weight. Actuallyim trying to lose weight also cos borderline overweight with my 175cm frame. Has been trying to reduce food intake by taking lotsa protein but seems that those high protein food quite expensive. How about swimming? Can swimming for 30minutues burns lotsa calories?

Swimming is good but you'll have to do it regularly to see the effect. Otherwise, 20min of HIIT works well too.
