Hi guys. I need some opinions or advice regarding my diet/routine. Wanted to lose some weight.

Mon/Wed/Fri = Veggies, Fruits and Meat (avoid rice totally)
Tue/Thu/Sat = Portioned rice (about 1 & 1/2 scoop of rice, twice per day, lunch and dinner)
Sunday = Cheat day (but with considerate amount of intake)

Every breakfast is oatmeal with fruits.
Only drink plain water with occasion tea or coffee (no sugary drinks such as Milo, milk tea or soda).
Snacks on fruits, nuts and raisins.
Workout only consists of push up and cycling at least 5km per day.

Sorry if I couldn't read all the past post. Currently weights about 83kg. Wanted to lose until 70kg in around 10 weeks. Is it possible with the diet that I'm planning?

Is your diet and exercise program designed by yourself?

You can try for recalibrate every 2 weeks the quantity of diet and workout.

Yes actually. I didn't really look into any fitness program or diet plan. I just designed it myself cause I thought it might suit me better. I don't know if I could follow any diet plans on the internet due to my scarce knowledge of cooking/foods. I don't really know how to cook and don't know where to buy/eat lean meat or stuff thats usually recommended on the internet.

I created that plan in hopes that I can control my food intake, and basically lessen my calorie intake per day. Would prefer to go to gym to workout, but I don't have any partner (for spotting, I guess) and back in the days, it was my friend whom usually create the workout plan. I'd just follow it.

As for recalibrate every 2 weeks, is there any guideline that I can follow? Or any hints during the 2 weeks, that I need to change my plans?

what is that?
u mean tue/thu/sat u have rice and only rice? thats very wrong.

go download myfitnesspal and use it as a guide.

13kg in 2.5 months, imo u wont be feeling very healthy after that...go slower...ur not in a race are u.

Holy sheet. No man, of course not. How the heck am I gonna swallow it if I just eat plain rice. What I meant from portioned rice is that I eat normally, rice with the standard lauk-pauk, just that I portioned the rice as so not to eat too much.

Speaking of in a race, well, I'm kinda in one. Hahaha. I kinda made a bet with my friend that I'll lose weight till 70kg in 10 weeks. If not, he can have my old3DS for free. I don't really care about the 3DS console, he can have it for all that I care. I just made that bet as a motivation boost for me to workout and to lose weight by NOT let him have it for free. Hahahahaha.

hence the need to be specific.
and that also applies to counting ur calories.
u eat with all the lauk, means may have oil / salt / sugar etc which u cant control...and will definitely hamper any progress.

I see. So I still need to do some calorie counting, huh? Really wanted to avoid doing that as I'm quite lazy and doing calorie counting kinda have an impact on my mentality as it haunts me whenever I want to eat.

But if I must, then I should just do it then. Should I do calorie counting everyday or just during my rice eating days?
Thanks for the feedback bro.

Its good that you can come up with your own daily meals plan.  thumbsup.gif

Quite a noob myself when I started few months back. As weeks goes by, I have 1 cheat day per week, ie, I eat the sweet desserts.  devil.gif

Eat plenty of vege, you can use air-fryer to fry your chickens, etc. Definitely NO OIL.

Well, it's not my first time doing a diet. As I did have a gym buddy past years, I did learn a little bit about planning own diet. Just that back in the days, I'm not exactly committed to doing it. XD
Also, I during my cheat day, I'd try to avoid any sweets such as cakes or cupcakes or ice-cream. Cuz if I'd taste it during cheat day, I might crave for more. Hahahaha. Thanks for the suggesting using air-fryer, I guess it is a good alternative, but I don't really have that at home. And can't really avoid food without oil. Malay dishes use lots of oil in the cooking. The best I can do is try to take it as minimal as possible for now I guess.

You can substitute normal rice with brown rice. Brown rice less glucose level compare to normal white rice. I also create my own menu. Monday to Thursday make my own lunch box with NO OIL food. Since you don't know how to cook. Then choose less oily food to eat. You can try slice lemon (removed wax) in hot water. It turns alkaline thus will lower down your appetite desire. Hot lemon water besides for detox and slimming, it also helps prevent cancer. I suggest you modified your dinner. No rice for dinner but a lot of fiber and protein food. Example, salad, cherry tomato, onion, yogurt, fruits, lean meat such as steam fish (No adding oil; just soy sauce). If hungry can add the volume. Shouldn't be a problem to eat more natural food.

Yeah, I guess I should try substitute white rice with brown rice. Thanks for the suggestion. And I can consider drinking hot lemon water. Just that, do you always drink hot lemon water through out the day (meaning you prepare large amount of hot lemon water for the day) or do you just drink it in the morning. Did a bit of quick research, most article suggest drinking it during the morning.
As for avoiding rice during dinner, I might have to try it later on. For now, I'm worried that if I skip rice during dinner, I might crave some the next day (which is my veggies day).

Before you start baseline your measurements. Aim for 1kg per week max. Calculate your TDEE, count calories and estimate your workout expenditure.

First you start your program with slightly less food and more workout intensity. Maintain food quantity but increase workout intensity as you see fit.

Every week measure again. If weight loss is about 1kg then maintain the amount of food and workout. Likewise adjust accordingly the diet and workout based on 1kg loss.

I see. That's a great guide that I can easily follow. So basically I just need to keep track of my calorie intake everyday and compare it with my weight loss per week (in which I should aim for 1kg per week). That shouldn't be too hard. Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it.

So I guess, my diet plan is ok already. Need to be adjusted a little with a bit of tweak here and there, plus calorie count everyday. Thank you everyone for your input. I really appreciate it. You guys are awesome. Thanks. thumbup.gif
