You wanna lose weight?

So basically you say that you eat 3 meals wholemeal bread peanutbutter+banana and then you have fruits when someone said you'll starve and when someone said carbs is not the enemy, you said you eat rice for lunch. How's that being discipline to your diet?

Lol probably she's just saying just to have some carbs. I know what she did there

Maintenance calorie. Meaning the calories you consume in a day that does not change ur weight.


Fruits are composed of mosly carbs as well btw.

Hello everyone..weight loss is and interesting topic. People can lose weight by loosing their fat, muscle or body water content.

When you are exercising and you lose weight, most probably u are loosing more body water content through sweating. When you are exercising in an empty stomach, most probably u are loosing more muscle due to the fact that instance source of energy from your body is by breaking up the muscle and convert it into energy. So do not exercise in absolutely empty stomach. Your body need the energy to kick start your exercise so that your heart can pump enough oxygen through your body for fat burning to take place and normally it will take more than 30 minutes before the fat start to burn.

so the best way to keep slim is to monitor your calorie intake daily but actually there is a lot of tips and trick for that, please feel free to ask. cheers..

uys im planning on hitting the gym but i dont have proper guidelines on the workout plans. Currently my weight is 85kg, 172cm and 24years old. Mind anyone sifu's here to share on workout plans and also diet?

Im planning on to get lean and nice physique with a balanced strength.

Check out the stickies

yes bro i am doing it now. but would prefer if get explanation in simple words according to my situation.

No wonder you nick is familiar, we are in the same Preve thread. Haha.

You could start to read the stickies but just for you, you could start reading about Starting Strength, a good program for beginner.

For diet, you need to set a goal, whether you want to lose weight or gain muscle and you can read the stickies according to your goal

haha yeah bro....i want to lose weight and gain lean and good physique with muscles. not the bulky and huge type. yeah going through. my goal is to reach 70kg but im nt sure on is it the right goal or not

i am my journey to reach 80kg ( which is a problem because i've been hovering around 85 > 83 > 85 for a couple of weeks.

only problem is during lunch i tend to eat alot because i become hungry if no rice - but then gain i know have to eat smaller portion frequently. will try to change that but letting you guys know i am also joining this bandwagon

my aim is 80kg because my gf will accept my proposal if i am 80kg nd below - seem like double chin at 85kg lel

Although this is not cc, you are on the path of danger in your relationship.

Then SS would be a good choice for you. Learn the technique and form and when you have done it for few months, then maybe you can switch to another program depending on your preference.

For diet tips, you can see my signature to calculate your tdee but then you need to know why you need to calculate in the first place.

hope the adrenaline from danger can burn off some fats

anyway just a target to motivate me ler - nothing serious hehehe

yes bro as i know i calculated using an android app. It suggested my calorie intake should be 1400. and i know i should eat lesser then that and do workouts and cardio to burn fats. My question is for now what sort of diet i should take and for gym types of workout accorrding to days. As of course i will be doing cardio in track

and also bro mind to tell in details what is " SS " ?

1400 is effing low even for a girl. Are you sure that you calculate it correctly? For diet, you can try the 40/40/20 ratio for carbs/protein/fat. That's the famous one.

SS = Starting Strength

yes bro i did. as the application asked for my weight...height and age also gender and objective to achieve i put 70kg.

40/40/20 = carbs/protein/fat...mind to elaborate more on this?

Hi blaze,
If u refers to Wikipedia, it mentions that carbohydrate and protein is a macronutrient of fat. Means it also belong to a fat group. All the access energy that u consume daily will be stored in your body as fat. Fat is good for your body though..(is it a myth..? u can refer to http://artery.sportsandgamestuff.com/fat_myth.html)
So u cannot blindly follow the 40/40/20 = carbs/protein/fat because it is to general, maybe our friend alien could share what his view on this.

Carbs
As u knows carbs has two category; simple and complex. U can take more complex one in the morning and a simple one before exercise for example.

Protein
Even though protein is good, not all sources are good for men. Try to avoid protein from soya bean due to its estrogen content. Even chicken breast is good source of protein, eating too much chicken will be not good as well since I think all commercial chicken have been induced by estrogen to speed up their growth. Estrogen will make u look more rounded while testosterone will make u more muscular.

Fat
Not all fat are bad. The good one for example is fish oil which contains omega 3 and EPA. There is also a fat which is good to break your fat storage and it is called conjugated linoleic acid.

That's wrong. There are 3 major macronutritient which are carbs / protein / fat. Just because having excess energy from eating carbs & protein turns them into fat, doesn't mean that it belongs to fat macronutritient.

If you can provide the link to that wikipedia page, it would be nice but do note that wikipedia sources are not that credible.
