45 minutes in three times a week?
or
30 minutes everyday.

Some say 45 minutes is to lose weight (actually 30-45).
30 minutes for maintaining weight.

I've been doing 30...so I think I need to change it.

What do experts here say?

With all do respect to bodybuilders, I think bodybuilders routine is NOT suitable
for non-bodybuilders such as people who want to lose or wants fitness.

The eating habit is different.
Fitness has to diet and eat less....bodybuilders vice versa.

Yeah, what do they know. They think bodybuilding are everything. Omg, I think these bodybuilders wannabe forumers should just go fly kite.

I recommend that you go for aerobics classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On Tuesday and Thursday, go for Pilates classes. On Saturday and Sunday, wear pink polo shirts with your collar up.

Simpletons like us who aren't bodybuilding wannabes don't need supplement. Hell, we aren't trying to be big like those muscle bound Michelin Man. We don't even need to change our diet. Hell, in fact we can survive on air and water alone. But for fear of collapsing the local food industry, we should resume our daily intake of saturated fats and mythic amounts of empty high glycemic index carbohydrates food such as white rice and white bread and a generous dosage of Teh Ais daily even though we don't need that much calories for energy to begin with.

Hell, I say we should just start a separate thread and ban all the bodybuilding wannabes from coming in and spouting their obviously working routines which can be applied to everyone regardless of their eating habits and lifestyle because it just works and is frequently used by athletes the world over not to mention it is scientifically sound. After all, we're just trying to agitate the bodybuilding wannabes here and prove that limp deek weak arse like us don't deserve to be educated by someone who speaks from their own experience rather than from their own arse like us.

At the end of the day, I just want you to come in and tell me my routine works despite the fact that my physique has stayed the same for the last 30 years. boo hoo hoo.
p.s. We just know more than all you bodybuilders wannabe who spend hours everyday updating yourself on sports science and nutrition.

p.p.s No offence, I'm just stating my opinion. The no offence magic word has just voided me of any responsibilites whatsoever because it's a magic word. Just like buttering you up before spitting at you.

hmmm...I guess 
the reason I capital it is to prove a point.
But the possibility of members misunderstood it big.
My apologies.
This is what I want to hear.

I heard about protein too.
To lose weight...exercise...eat less but more protein (correct me if I'm wrong)

I'm not obese...171cm...71kg..still BMI is normal.
BUt I want to be 63kg...have slim belly....high cheek bones and luckily 6 packs.

This is crucial:

The problem is.
When at night..hungry right after eating dinner at 6pm (little rice and
some dishes, less oil and fat. I even wash the fried chicken/fish to get rid of
the oil)
What to eat when you are hungry?
The stomach makes 'sound' when too empty.

If this problem solved...then lose weight is possible.
That's why Herbalife is usefull for some.
Too expensive la for me.
Besides, maybe you guys can give tips.

It's a very good thing we have bodybuilders here..they can share their experiences.
I always wonder how bodybuilders do their workout.
Most of people a bit 'kedekut' a.k.a stingy..don't want to share tips.

Here, we are LACK losing weight or fitness (non-bodybuilders) expert or
a person who achieved his goal.

Maybe it's about time for me to go to the gym.
Not trying to be a bodybuilder but toning those muscles.
Since you guys mentions muscles can get rid of fat more effectively.
How about the fat aroung belly and oblique?
Uncrunchable?
I heard only exercise can make it go away not muscle toning.
