chicken chop.. fren....you will gain more weight... or you can try beef or mutton...

Hi guys...

I weight 105kg, and 173cm tall. Yes, i'm very fat. I even can pinch 1inch of fat from almost every part of my body, and my waist is 44inch. I planned to shed 25kg in the next 5months. I've started on a simple diet and exercise program since the turn of the year, as per below.

1. Breakfast

2 pieces of sandwich, with lettuce, pickles, cucumber, add some flavour of thousand island, and little bit of mayonis. (a bit like Subway Sandwich).(i'm not a green eater, thousand island has been very helpful). I alternate with baked beans and omlette, with very little oil and no butter at all.

2. Lunch

I eat green vegetable, plus some meat, and chicken breast as a reward for myself. I avoid oily food as much as possible and took just a half "senduk" of rice.

3. Evening break

I usually eat Tiger biscuits

4. Dinner

Yong tau foo, the vegetable sandwich with Gardenia Whole Grain, and sometimes chicken or meat soup. I did not take supper.


For exercise, i spend 30minutes a day doing cardio, jogging and skipping. This month i plan to go to the gym, to have a look and feel.

My questions:

1. what part of this diet and exercise that i should improve, in order to reach my goal?
2. if weight training is necessary, what kind of exercie that i need to do for a very sedentary person like me?
3. what if, i let myself go through my nutrition diet program first, loose some weight, and then i go to gym? will there any different, compare to if i straight away head to the gym?
4. how does martial art, like kickboxing, taekwondo, contribute to weight loss program, compare to gym work?

Thanks for your advice, really appreciate it. Have been doing this solidly for the past January, only shed about 2kg.

breakfast - nothing
lunch - oats
dinner - rice OR oats OR eat out

yet, i'm still like a pig .. sigh. How can I lose the weight or more accurately lose da fat around my tummy, butt, underarms, and thigh?? I do pilates few times a week (minimum 4 times).

Get rid of the salad dressing and mayo.

I'm no expert but it's my opinion that a lot of people have misconceived the concept of dieting. To many, it's about eating less when it fact, it's about eating right. I'm 178 cm's tall and once weighed 86kg's. In about a year, I've managed to lose 12 kg's from just eating right and exercising. In fact, I eat 4 - 5 meals a day but in moderation and I do of course eliminate oily and fatty food from my diet. It's a big sacrifice I can tell ya but the results are well worth it. In terms of exercise, I now go to the gym 3 times a week, play basketball once a week and badminton once a week as well.

There you go. I'm no expert but that's how I managed to lose weight. Did I also mentioned I drink beer like 4 - 5 times a week, with an average of 6-8 mugs per session? Well that's my story for what it's worth. Starving yourself isn't the way to go. Eat but eat right, and exercise, there is not shortcut.

Cheers.

Don't skip breakfast! But eat a healthy breakfast instead of stuff like nasi lemak or roti canai.

anybody can comment about my diet?
i dont know if its ok to have diet like this, but im weighing 110 kgs and counting
so drastic measures are needed

bfast: cornflakes + low fat milk
lunch: pieces of gardenia wholegrain bread
dinner: oat + milo
and whenever im hungry ill just bite green apples

i know i should add sumthing more because i think i dont have enough energy to do work
and i do exercise almost daily from 6-7
usually play either squash or soccer
anybody can comment pls?

Mine is as follows:

1. Breakfast: Oatsmeal with milk and a huge cup of tea with fresh milk(about 400ml) or 2 half boiled eggs with 2 wholemeal bread and tea

2. Lunch: Eat out. Usually rice with one type of vege and 2 types of meats (PS usually l leave almost 1/3 of the rice untouched to reduce carbo intake) and usually fruit juice for lunch (fresh from juicer) or beef / steak burger with fries from reputable restaurant (non fast food) and a ice lemon tea or juice.

3. Dinner: Eat at home. Usually mother's cooking except on Saturdays and maybe Sundays. Olive oil used to cook most dishes. Dishes are usually of such patterns: One meat, one vege, one soup based and maybe egg. Drinks varies from soup to chinese tea. As for fruit, I usually have an apple or pear or papaya or mango for dessert.

Pre-gym nutrition, just a packet of milk. I am considering taking creatine at this stage.

Starting soon, post gym nutrition, protein shake.

Snacks inbetween meals may include biscuits, cashew nuts, fruits and dried fruits.

dude... same as me... we can do a tag team... hahah...

how long have you been doing it? any changes??

Increase your breakfast quantity. Try adding fruits. Are you saying you're eating only bread for lunch? If you're exercising daily with playing squash or soccer, you should be eating more for energy.

yeeck,

well, do i need to get rid of that??
it only a small portion of it though. without it, i can't stand the taste of lettuce...

and i offset the dressing effect with no rice in the afternoon... is it okey?

well, just started this diet bro, since this monday
so, no changes yet
but its been tough since the surroundings got so many food
how bout u? how long hv u been doing this diet?
any changes on ur part?

well, thinking of taking small quantity of rice during lunch + vege + fish/meat
is it ok or do u have any other suggestions?

If you can't stand the taste of lettuce, you can try other vege like baby carrots, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, etc. You can throw in fruits to make it more palatable too without having to rely on dressing. BTW, where's the protein source?

my waist now is 43.. used to be 44 last month.
but i see no changes in my weight, still toying around 103.

i have some concern here...
i've already started weight lifting with dumbbell yesterday, focussing on my chest, biceps and triceps.

after one day, i did felt post workout soreness around my muscle. (sign of good workout). but when i hit the scale, my weight balloon up to 106, and this morning, it goes 107...

4kg increase in one day... that never happens before, even if i eat the whole pizza...

i pray its just the mucle building up.. anybody have idea on this?? or have u been through this before??

Muscle mass weights twice the amount of fats. and thats a fact.
In order to lose weight you need to burn a whole lot more.

For overweight person, my suggestion is non impact workout. In order to lose weight and size.
For eg. Swimming or cycling. If one is over weight u r not suggested to do running or anything that impacts your knees, hips etc etc.

Key point 1 is to raise your metabolic rate. by doing so u need to do more cardio workout. cardio workout could well means go for swiming or others means.
Start a day or 2 in a week then follow up by more days. you will see immediate effect like tightening of your arms and legs. But dont go celebrating yet.
Your goal must be set like for eg. i want to lap a few rounds today.
complete the goal in the time u think suitable for you.
In any plans to cut down weight or size must be measurable. That means for eg. waist size, chest size, biceps size.
Plan your minor goals like" i want to have a 34 inchwaist by June."
I wan my biceps a size 40, etc etc.

If you have a goal then you can do it. BE DISCIPLINE AS WELL!

As for diet for those who wan to cut down size .

i share my diet plan,

[WEEKDAYS/WORKING]
morning,
milk a glass, cereal/oats
high fibre content fruits

Lunch
minimal rice, chicken,
fruits and vegetables
coffee
*note that coffee(caffeine) will kill vitamin c but will give u a boost of energy for workout sessions.

[workout]

Dinner
minimal rice/wholemeal bread,egg,vege,fruits
fruit juice.

[WEEKENDS/OFFDAYS]

breakfast
eggs,milk,fruits,bread

[workout]

lunch
rice,fish/chicken,vege,fruits

[rest]

[workout]*only if u r well rested

dinner
tuna w/ bread, fruits, vege

*strictly no dressing for salads, no syrup wit your juices.
*eat snacks like nuts in between if u feel hungry

i crafted this regime in order to stay healthy n fit not to have washboard abs nor run like some baywatch actor.
when u have achieved ideal BMI, u can start goin for more vigourous activity, eg, rock climbing, mountain hiking, biking,. this will maitain your metabolic rate or increase.
* note that as u get used to the regime you will consume more but only your intake grow in proportionate to your exercise.

i just started taking bodybuilding seriously..need some advice on my diet..im gonna buy whey protein soon too..

-how many meals should i take per day?
-im trying to get chicken at my college area but all is curry,fried etc kinda chicken..it it advisable or should i go for roasted chicken always(almost not available unless i go for chicken rice)?
-i dont take breakfast or anything before or after i workout..should i?
-how many protien shakes should i take in a day?
what are the best kinda foods which are easily available that i should consume?
-wht type of eggs to eat?fried?boiled?
-and should i eat more rice or cut down on it?

thx for the help!
