Hii

hope i did not post in the wrong place :|
haha,

anyway,
i plan on losing weight (ahbuden ),
currently (estimating 78KG - 173cm)
and i hope to lose any weight to be honest :|

just to let you guys know,
I'm doing this losing weight thing cause..

I'm currently part time working in a restaurant where walking is all i do,
non-stop walking, maybe will take a breather any chance i get(for my knee's sake)
and I'm currently studying in a Uni nearby.

and i thought "this is a good chance to lose SOME weight"

and i plan on losing weight mostly on my legs (thighs, etc..)

i walk alot, but the walking keeps making my leg bulky/muscular.
the more i walk, the more muscle is formed
i tried walking slowly, gently,
but still muscle grow due to over-walking :|
my uni is made out of stairs -__________-

and i heard from my gym teacher back in high school,
to lose thighs fats, just climb stairs
but using thighs to climb, not the lower legs part(idk the name)

but i never asked "how to use thighs"
cause i just overheard the convo :|

i googled some workout on leg loss,
but mostly at home or gym kind of workout,
so it's kinda hard for me to do so,
Cause once i reached home,
i have to study and rest.


the point -
i want to lose my lower body part/my leg's weight
to simplify, change my walking style as my currently style just keep increasing muscle more than losing weight of the legs.
when i press onto my legs,
is hard as stone :|
kick people also can fly hard :||||||

so any idea on how can i stop increase muscle and have it turn into losing leg's weight ?

PS, i'm an idiot in weight loss and exercises.
so please help ;-;...

Lol. Let me give you an example. 2 guys, both weigh at 78kg and have the same height

A is all fat. B is all muscles.

Who is overweight?

Stop looking at weight as a measure of being "overweight" or not. Use body fat as a target instead of weight.

opps
accidentally created a misunderstanding

what i meant was,
the "weight" on my previous post,
i was thinking of "fats", not weight,
tho i did think of weight when i was typing out on the legs parts.

and i want to loss the extra muscle under the thighs/lower part of the legs(based on wiki, it's the gastrocnemius or the peronae longus muscle)
cause to me, it's too muscular lol

and i guess some of you guys heard of "don't skip leg day"?
imagine that, but the other way around
that feeling lah

here's the reason of why my leg so muscular(and my daily routine.
and to loss the fats in my thighs
though i heard of spot reduction is a myth :|

but mainly
i want to heard/read some suggestion on how to loss the excessive muscle(IMO on the excessive part) on the lower legs
and the fats of my body(hopefully mostly on the thighs )

hope there's no more misunderstanding

1. Eat 5 times a day - small meals.
2. Eat less animal fats and vege oils. Replace them with Olive Oil.
3. At least exercise 45 minutes a day. - Best is intensive cardio+strength
4. Sleep at least 8 hrs a day to restore your energy and recovery
5. Take protein shakes in one of the meals.
6. If you want to loose weight fast. Wake up early and exercise instead in the afternoon or after work.
7. Try not to eat rice after 1pm.
8. Try to reduce starchy foods and reduce use of sugar.
9. Never give up and try your best.
10. Never listen to the Naysayers.

Try all those and you will loose weight slowly. Cheers.

When will some of you ever learn that there is no magic pill.

hi guys...i have a problem on my body shape..im about 170cm height and weight about 90kg...i wnna lose my bellyfat,my thigh and butt fat..can anyone help me with this? giving some food advices and some exercise to do..im having problem to get a job due to my body shape..

Hi all,

I'd like to share my workout / diet regime that I've been following for the past 2 months.

Hitting the gym at least 5 to 6 times a week :
- treadmill for 30-45 minutes
- cycle for 10 - 20 minutes
- some basic weight liftings
- now I'm starting to going gymclasses as well, e.g Kickboxing and Yoga.

Diet
- Controlled but moderate lunch - still avoiding fried and oily
- Chicken breast with brocolli OR Salmon as dinner everyday
- I don't really snack as well.. got also one cup of TehSiPeng every other day.

So far with all these effort i've lost like 2 kg in 2 months.
It seems that my progress is rather slow despite the effort, as I've seen people doing less but losing like 5kg in 3 weeks.

Could anything have gone wrong in my regime?

Thanks.

eat less or move more

possibilities
- the intensity of your cardio is too low
- daily caloric intake is still quite high

thnx bro, but im not very confident about walking..since my thight feels hard like they want turns to muscle..im worry if the shape increasing rather than decreasing..

How did you lump saturated fat and deep fried food together? No such relationship at all.

Correction:

To the both of you:

Saturated fats are not the devil. Saturated fats do not make you fat. Saturated fats do not necessarily raise cholestrol in your blood. High cholestrol do not necessarily increase risk of Cardiovascular diseases (CVD). It's all dogma based on bad science (mainly by Ancel Keys) which has been debunked time and time again for many decades now. It's a myth.

If you would like some readings, please read the books "New Atkins New you", "Cholestrol Clarity by Jimmy Moore", "The Big Fat Surprise" and many more books.

High calories? Do you even know what that means? Not trying to offend but the person you're replying to wants to lose belly fat and you're asking him to eat high calorie food?
Instead, you should restrict calories, that is go on a caloric deficit. That's the only way you can lose weight. Same goes to "bulking", you have to eat a surplus so that your body can grow.

I would equate junk food to highly processed foods, highly refined carbohydrates, excessive amounts of sugar and high amounts of preservatives and artificial sweeteners (the bad sweeteners as there are good ones).

There are many ways you can loose your weight sitting home:
1. Drink cinnamon and green tea
2. Drink more of water.
3. Have plain yogurt and honey.
4. Sleep enough
5. Remain physically active and do some work.

How about , you just count your calories and macros (and micros). All the fancy diets and "things to eat/do" won't work if the amount of calories you consume (based on ur goal) is not reached, as per mentioned by kytz and probably a few others lol.

Hi guys, I am seeking for a diet plan for male, about 181 cm and 100 KG. I am posting here because I really want to lose weight. I am also working in office time.

I am looking for a non extreme diet plan. Those kind of eat only fruits and vegetables for whole day is kinda hard for me.

I am looking for those diet plan that are light and not so suffering - I am okay with sandwiches for morning and etc.

I am also looking for exercise diet plan. Since I am overweight, extreme exercise like jogging 1 hour a day will be hard.

There's no need for those fancy diets or what not . Just track your calories upon eating your meal , yes you can eat whatever you want be it a burger , a whole bottle of oil , etc... as long as you track your calories . However, don't go overboard , a small plate of noodles MAY contain alot more calories than you think (the oil , seasonings , etc..). Before you do so, ensure that you KNOW your TDEE .

Use this link, it gives an APPROXIMATE value.
http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/

What's a TDEE ? In layman's term :
The amount of food you consume (measured in calories) that DOES NOT alter your body weight .

Eg: Ben's TDEE is 2000 cals , if he eats 2000 cals per day, he won't lose or gain any weight.

If Ben decides to consume 3500 cals per day , he will gain weight (fat and muscles) and end up a fat ass.
If Ben decides to consume 1500 calories per day, he will lose weight (fat and muscles)


It's the AMOUNT of food you consume that matters , NOT the CONTENT of your food . This is to achieve your weight loss/gain goals , NOT a step to make your lifestyle healthier or what not (there's no guarantee)

In simpler words , eat whatever you want as long as your caloric intake is reached based on ur goal . BALANCE is the key.

Mine is about 2000 cals based on the calculation in the link given. I would need to consume about 15% lesser - 1700 cals a day or maybe lesser...any good diet plan for that?

I know avoid fried food, avoid a lot of rice, avoid nasi lemak, avoid oily food. So I tried to come out with my own diet plan...can you guys give some opinion?

Breakfast - Was thinking oat but I don't like oat so change to something butter roti?

Lunch - Nasi campur with less rice or hakka mee or porridge or mee kari?

Dinner - This is the part I am having problem. I eat heavy for dinner (Fried rice, fried kuay teow, big portion of mee soup and etc) And I usually eat with my housemates outside. Any good food when eating outside?

It's fine to consume rice . Heck , there's no worry in consuming carbs at all. You CAN lose weight even though you're eating those "unhealthy" foods. What matters most is the calories you consume .

Like I said earlier , it's the AMOUNT (calories) of food you eat , NOT WHAT you eat .

All those salad , bland chicken and rice is bullshit. You can eat oily foods, high carbs food , etc.. AND STILL LOSE WEIGHT .
